vbProArcade Beta 2
1/5/03: Beta 2 released 9/12/02: Beta 1.03 zip updated to include safe mode fix 9/3/02: Beta 1.03 released -- small bug fixes, see below 9/1/02: Beta 1 of vbProArcade has been posted. Please see below for installation instructions. Background Information vbProArcade is a fully-customizable Flash arcade add-on for vBulletin, complete with game-by-game scoreboards, forum integration, a "champions" system, statistics, and more. This is an extensive hack that is still in BETA form, and I don't recommend installing it if you are not willing to work through potential issues and future updates/upgrades! I am working on making the installation instructions as easy as possible, but it will probably be some time before it is perfect. Watch this post for updates as they happen, and check out screenshots from the list below. If you would like to see the hack in action, you may visit my Shadows of Namek forums. You will need to register to play, but you can view the scoreboards and the arcade itself as a guest. Credits This hack materialized thanks to work and help from a number of people and forums. Here they are:
So far, there are FIVE GAMES that work correctly with this hack. They are: Breakout Pacman Snake Space Invaders Tetris All five .SWF files are included in the release archive. There is now a Flash Games Development Thread for the purpose of modifying existing games to work with vbProArcade, or for creating new games to be compatible with vbProArcade. If you have a game that you wish to see modified but don't know how, post the .FLA source in that thread and hopefully somebody can assist you. Installation Instructions Download the file attached to this post, unzip it and familiarize yourself with the contents BEFORE doing anything. There are TWO separate files worth reading, the Documentation and the Installation Instructions. I recommend that you read both BEFORE doing anything else. Once you have done this, the instructions to be followed are contained in vbproarcade-install.txt. Follow them as precisely as possible. If you encounter an error somewhere, it is likely that you missed a step or made a small error. Please double-check your work BEFORE posting about problems here. And it cannot be said enough: read that file before you do anything, and if you are unsure of something, please post your question(s) before attempting to install the hack. Problems and Fixes/Workarounds (as of 1/5)
Here is the list of stuff that I know does not work. I will be working towards correcting these bugs BEFORE adding new features for the next release.
Here is the list of posts from this thread that contain screen shots for the new version. Check them out!
This is the stuff that is in progress for future release:

I don't know if this is the case with the proarcade but i read a page with the warning of a vulnarabilty in highscores (in general), where people can alter the score if they know the way it is set to the database, for example http://www.test.com/forum/proarcade....You&score=**** or something like that. I did'nt test this though and i hope this is a problem already solved or irrelevant.

It doesn't work, just tried it on my forum... at least I dont believe it works. I changed You to my Username and Score to a number, and nothing happened except bringing me to the main Arcade screen.

You can't, because the page send the flash thing a hash, and then the flash page does something and sends the hash back...
That is why there is a hash code in the settings... it's what prevents people from cheating so easily...

Since I decided to stop adding features until an actual release is made, the table structure has not changed at all.

Also, when you release the Full Release, will you include upgrade instructions?

There will be upgrade instructions for all future releases. Beta 2 to 2.1, 2.1 to release (or whatever). There were no instructions for going from Beta 1.x to Beta 2 because I changed just about everything... there really was no possible upgrade path.
