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:

Less than a week from now. To answer another question I received, no I have not converted the hack to phrases yet -- but I will eventually.
str8ballin, I will see if I can come up with something. |

My hat is off to futureal for creating seemingly one of the most wanted modifications for vB3, and for how well he is coping with the HUGE demand for the mod's release.. Top stuff.!
I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the newer vB2 version.. ![]() |

wolfy.2k: If the scoreboards themselves will not even load, then it sounds like either your templates are messed up, or the hack was installed incorrectly...
...and a quick update for vB3: I am working on the hack whenever I have the chance, and I am honestly pretty happy with how this is fitting into vB3. Now that I have taken the time to actually try and integrate it, a lot of the code is smoother and really just that much cooler. After further study, I've taken the plunge and begun to implement phrases for everything that is hardcoded into the Admin CP. I will deal with phrases in the templates at some later date (most likely -- I want to get this released). I also spent the evening playing around with the bitfield permission model in vB3, and this is going to make it much easier to configure things like which admins can edit stuff in the arcade, which users can use the arcade, and whether or not the champions stuff is displayed. I am hoping to post screenshots tomorrow or Monday. Thanks. |

One question futureal, it was suggested a few posts back that the Arcade could have two types of scoring systems with a switch in the admin cp game settings, the higher the score = the higher the rank (current), and also the lower the score = the higher the rank (for turn based games such as "Pairs"). Will this be implemented into this release or will that be an optional addon later on.?
