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 have a slight problem. I have it setup so that only donating members are only supposed to access the arcade and regular registered members cannot. I took the "registered" group out of the arcade but people can still access it? Why?

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem with: $vpachampicon $vpachamptext I added them in 'postbit' template, however they are not showing. I saw a few guys have the same problem, but haven't seen a solution for this problem. My forum is on a subdomain: forum.domain.com Could someone tell me what could be causing this? And how to fix? Everything else works perfectly! Thanks in advance.

I had that problem at one time. Changing the admin cp options making sure that was enabled didn't help. In the end I just edited the PHP so there was no disabled function and then it worked fine. Not THE correct solution but I was soon to upgrade to vB3 anyway.
I never understood what was wrong because it had been fine for ages up until then.

proxx & Zelda-King: That is odd, I had not heard of a problem like that before. Perhaps my implementation there is screwy. It has always worked for me and I never went back to look at it.
Zelda-King, you say that it worked at one point and then suddenly stopped working? I don't think that being on a subdomain would influence this. It is a general setting which is available from any part of the forums. The reason behind this is to eliminate an additional query whenever we need to check to see if the Champion System is active or not. It's kind of a clunky system that works much, much better in vB3. I would still like to work out these bugs in the vB2 versions, though. I'll take a closer look at it.

No, you HAVE to use the source .fla file.

The source to Flash stuff is stored in the .FLA files, the .SWF files are compiled code (and graphics). This is necessary to protect peoples' work, just like a .EXE file for a computer program.
