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 remember there was work on vbarcade 2.1, all that it needed was some tweaks to the admin panel, has all work stopped on this for vb2.30 users?
I plan on using vb2.30 for while. So just wondering if there were any more updates for this. or if everything is going on hold till vb3.0.0 RC1+ comes out? AWESOME HACK by the way :P |

I'm wondering the same thing... I want to see the development of the new version for the 2x series as I'll be using that for some time until 3.0 goes through a few revisions after it's no longer beta...
I'd even consider a donation for this script as it's one of the most used features of my website. ![]() |

Awesome idea.. However can you or someone figure out how to set it up so it will NOT show an arcade button/icon if the person has *zero* high scores in the arcade? Anyone? ![]() |

An idea for an addon:
What about a medals-addon for the Arcade? Ie. creating gold, silver and bronze instead of 1 leader for each game. this way users would retain a "prize" and there would be much competition to obtain/keep the (at least) bronze, for example ![]() Wdy think? |

We've had our arcade installed for awhile now, and it worked fine at first. Recently though, the games haven't been loading and stuff. When is the next version coming?

Woops! Already translated it...
Now I'm just missing how to translate the name of the months and the "th" besides the DATE (already modified the th,rd on the positions). SInce I guess it's the system Date, how could I modify this? And oh yes, I use the Today/Yesterday hack... is it possible to use this on the Arcade? Thanks! |

one thing I'd like to see is, a hall of fame addon, aka top 5 scores from each game goto a special page for that month. Then at the end of the month you can do a arcade wipe. This would keep the size of your database smaller, and each month players would see who the top player was.
up to now I was thinking of doing this manually but if you could add this to the arcade script it would rock.. |

HELP
I dont want to sound stupid, but we had installed the (Who's Online v0.0.2 Hack) sometime back which overwrites the (online.php) file that needs to be edited for the Arcade Hack. I didn't realize it before I started, but the overwritten (online.php) file does not contain any of the code that needs to be changed or added to complete this Arcade Hack. This file contains very little code at all. So now Im 80% complete with this installation and stuck. Has anyone else had this problem?? And can anyone Help?? |
