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:

one suggestion...
the highscore is nice, yes but new users have a hard job to do. some scores are tooooo high. so they are to fast disappointed if they cant break it. an extra monthly highscore would be better

You cannot save scores if you play from the machine that the server is running off of. I went and played Sanke on the other computer in my house, and the scores worked fine.

You could make it so not EVERY score is saved. I have every score achieved EVER even if they score 1. It just takes up space.

I installed the hack without a hitch on v2.2.9
. Does anyone know if it would be possible to award points (Lesane Store Hack v2.0) to users for scores achieved in a game? My visitors are interested in getting paid to play, which isn't at all a bad idea. I'm sure it would take alot of coding but if it's too much then I'll pass on the idea.

 But honestly, I think it's stupid to award cash for high scores... Maybe it could be like a lottery... The top 3 players from each game at the end of the week would get their names into a draw, and whatever name is randomly picked wins a cash prize!  It would be cool, but could also get hard to code. Anyone that's interested in this plan, PM me and we can discuss how we'll start.

instead of a site paying out cash, why not make it like a real arcade and have people pay the site somehow to play :classic: ( each time they can deposit like $10, to play a game would be a quarter..and it would go towards a credit each time even when they get high score....ya know like a real arcade game would do) it could work out so that the money to play the games would go to bandwidth and maintenance of the site...
never mind, thats a dumb idea...lol..

Ok, I read this all the way to page 36 before I realized there were 72 pages. So keep that in mind when you read this. I didn't make it through ALL the history.
Here's what I'm getting: If I use IE, scores post just fine, and it sends the user to the proper URL after the game finishes: http://pebkac.trippy.org/forums/vbproarcade.php However, when I use mozilla (latest version and latest flash), it forwards instead to: http://pebkac.trippy.org/vbproarcade.php which doesn't exist. Is this back to browser compatibility? Is this what the 'Known Bugs' is referring to? Anyways, wonderful hack. I just use IE when I'm playing the games, and all is well. - ZJ
