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've had a problem with the arcade, and I just installed it. It runs fine... (With a few "visual" errors, it seems to use the same color for everything on the default vB2.3.0 style) But my scores won't save. I scanned this thread quickly, and apparently only one other person had this problem, but he fixed it by reformatting. I'm not prepared to do that.
Anyone with information on why this doesn't work? I ran every query, and installed every template using the Template Backup System. (The TBS is faster for multi-style installations) Site: http://focalpoint.tk/ Username for test user: tester Password for test user: [color={firstaltcolor}]demo1[/color] (I hid it, highlite to read it) Thanks for your time!

Make sure you use IE 5.5 or higher to make sure it saves the score.

Someone take a look at this, tell me what they think. I edited a score that was in the highscore table, but not "validated". phpMyAdmin can work wonders!

I am so badly ruined by this hack... Something is not right. Anyone that knows what they're doing and wants to help, PM me and I'll hook you up with a temporary admin account.
I need this hack to work soon! |

The games aren't loading for some reason. I just get a blank box where the game is supposed to be...why?! I have the latest version of Flash and don't have a problem viewing Flash on other sites...why isn't it showing up? Check it out:

Talking of that, Tetris worked fine on my board until yesterday when suddenly it wouldn't load until I changed the name of it. It just stopped accepting the name 'Tetris'.
That blank box problem of yours. I had it when I installed. I'd uploaded the files. It didn't work. I went to check if the arcade was active, etc (which it was)... then for some reason I just went back to the arcades and they've worked fine since (except the matter about Tetris). |
