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:

It looks like I am going to have to include the text file anyway -- vbHacker works for the templates but does not seem to want to do anything else -- it fails on the queries just about every time as far as I can tell, even though they work just fine from the command line.

Alright, the file is out there -- see the first post in this thread.
I installed the hack on my secondary test site (a clean v2.2.6 install) and it worked great, no problems. So far so good. I'm going to bed now, and will be gone during the day tomorrow, but I'll be back tomorrow evening to troubleshoot and, if necessary, do damage control.

Division by zero in /home/www.url/HTML/proarcade.php
--ok when a game is finished it goes straight to the proarcade.php without score, comment etc. and "view topscore board" gives the error above. All games are doing this, so i think it's a typo or direction error somewhere in the templates. --when i put in the: (Code for Query String Enter the query string to be used for the game (if applicable) after the game it displays a double url: http://www.url.com/www.url.com/proarcade.php

I am getting the division error too.. So far everything else works great.
How can I add a different Icon by users name if they are the king of a certain game. King icon for each game. so say I am king of tetris and snake I would have 2 icons by my name 1 for tetris and 1 for snake. ? Thanks and great hack!

hmmm....all went well until the allgames.sql query was run. I ran it both by source, and then also by copy/pasting. Got the same errors. Tried to run the queries one at a time, still had issues:

I tried the manual install of the games since the allgames.sql isn't working for me. Just working with Tetris for now.
These are the errors I get: Quote:
1) It installed the leaderboard, scoreboard fine (get the Division by '0' error that is mentioned above. 2) When I try to play Tetris, it merely hangs on me, the game doesn't pull up (the page does though). 3) The thumbnail won't upload.
