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:

Any news on ProArcade vB3? Things have gone quiet again..
I hope to be launching my new site within a month, with the arcade already installed on the forums. I'd rather hold out for ProArcade, but it may be that I install v3 Arcade if this isn't out in time.. I don't mean to put a deadline on you, but I was expecting a release when vB3 went Gold (even though you implied no such thing) and it hasn't arrived..  Regards, Oblivion Knight

Any word about the fix for vB2 to ensure that the games are scorable in Mozilla? What OBJECT and EMBED tags need to be used for these games so that the scores are recorded? Thanks!

Reducing Queries on proarcade.php
1. Get rid of the Mini Scoreboards: For those of you who want to reduce queries by removing the scoreboard, just follow these easy steps while editing proarcade.php (this will take off around one to two queries per game): a. FIND and DELETE the following code: Code:
// now begin the mini-leaderboard display
$gs_rank = 0;
$gamescorecellbits = "";
$miniboard_q = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM arcadescores WHERE game='$gamename' AND valid=1 ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 5");
while ($miniboard = $DB_site->fetch_array($miniboard_q)) {
$gs_rank++;
$gs_score = number_format($miniboard[score]);
$gs_user = $miniboard[username];
// make date/time look good
$gs_date = date("F j, Y", $miniboard[endtime]);
$gs_time = date("g:i a", $miniboard[endtime]);
$duration = $miniboard[endtime] - $miniboard[begintime];
$gs_duration_mins = div($duration,60);
$gs_duration_secs = $duration % 60;
eval("\$gamescorecellbits .= \"".gettemplate("vbproarcade_arcade_gamescorecellbit")."\";");
}
eval("\$thisgamescorecell = \"".gettemplate("vbproarcade_arcade_gamescorecell")."\";");
$allgamescorecells[$cellcount++] = $thisgamescorecell;
Code:
$curcell = 0;
while (($curcell <= $cellcount) && ($cellcount != 0)) {
if (($curcell+2) <= $cellcount) {
// in this case, do a pair of cells
$gamescorecell_1 = $allgamescorecells[$curcell];
$gamescorecell_2 = $allgamescorecells[$curcell+1];
// need to format it correctly since we are splitting rows
$gamescorecell_1 = preg_replace("/GSCOLSPAN/","align=\"right\"",$gamescorecell_1);
$gamescorecell_1 = preg_replace("/GSOUTWIDTH/","width=\"50%\"",$gamescorecell_1);
$gamescorecell_1 = preg_replace("/GSINWIDTH/","width=\"100%\"",$gamescorecell_1);
$gamescorecell_2 = preg_replace("/GSCOLSPAN/","align=\"left\"",$gamescorecell_2);
$gamescorecell_2 = preg_replace("/GSOUTWIDTH/","width=\"50%\"",$gamescorecell_2);
$gamescorecell_2 = preg_replace("/GSINWIDTH/","width=\"100%\"",$gamescorecell_2);
} else {
// in this case, a single cell
$gamescorecell_1 = $allgamescorecells[$curcell];
$gamescorecell_2 = "";
// in this case we had an odd # of cells so just center the remaining cell
$gamescorecell_1 = preg_replace("/GSCOLSPAN/","colspan=2 align=\"center\"",$gamescorecell_1);
$gamescorecell_1 = preg_replace("/GSOUTWIDTH/","width=\"100%\"",$gamescorecell_1);
$gamescorecell_1 = preg_replace("/GSINWIDTH/","width=\"50%\"",$gamescorecell_1);
}
$gamescores .= "<tr>" . $gamescorecell_1 . $gamescorecell_2 . "</tr>\n";
$curcell += 2;
}

HI,
I use Vb 2.3.4. Every time that I finish a game appear this: "data mismatch has been discovered between the game and the arcade, normally as the result of a cheating attempt. This attempt has been logged, and the score invalidated. If you feel that you are receiving this message in error, please contact the system administrator." Please help me!!!
