Arcade Pass Hack v3!

11/09/04 - Installer upgraded, nothing more.

11/05/04 8:28 PM EST: I botched the release because the important files "mysteriously" disappeared. I have updated the attachment.

11/04/04 9:00 PM EST: Changed to the Hack Installer System for installs. Just upload all the files in the upload folder and run forum/install/hack_install.php, chose Arcade Pass v3 and follow with the instructions. Should make a great replacement for the defunct HTL and the crappy TXT installer.

This is the Arcade Pass Hack v3. While it takes the name and feature set from it's predecessor, the Arcade Pass Hack 2.0 for vB2, the code has been improved, dependancies for the store removed, and the code completely re-written on vB3. The same code was then back-ported to vB2. Right now, the Arcade Pass Hack v3 supports both vB2 and vB3, and vbProArcade Beta 2 (for vB2) and the Arcade v3 (for vB3). When new versions of the arcades are released that have significantly changed code, another version of the Arcade Pass Hack v3 will be written for it.

The vB2 version contains a txt-based install as well as a vbHacker install, and the vB3 version uses the included Hack Installer System. Chose the appropriate vB version, then the appropriate arcade, and then chose the appropriate install and go from there. The arcadepass.php in the vB2 and vB3 folders must be uploaded to the root forums directory.

--------------------------------------

What does this hack actually do, you ask? It allows you, as an administrator, to force people to either buy an arcade pass for a set amount of points (point system not included - you'll have to install one from another hack and then configure this hack to use it) or make them pay a set amount per game (setable per game), or make them pay only if they do not have an arcade pass.

This hack also features a jackpot. First, a default jackpot (amount configurable) is set up, and after each game played, the cost of the game plus another amount (configurable per game) is added to the jackpot. If the user ends up with a high enough ranking (minimum ranking configurable), then they'll get a piece of the jackpot - if they are in 3rd place they'd get 1/3 of the jackpot, if they were in 50h, they'd get 1/50th of the jackpot, etc. Once someone takes 1st place, they default jackpot is entered back in and the lucky winner gets ALL of the jackpot.

This hack currently supports the following arcade/versions:

vB2:
vbProArcade Beta 2

vB3:
v3 Arcade (1.0)

I guess I'm currently a newbie, and forgive me for asking but what is HTL? And what would I need to have it install using the HTL version?

Nothing has changed on my arcade why is this it doesn't show costs of the games it just looks normal and you can still play any game.

Also what i click on this: http://www.myfootballforum.com/arcadepass.php

Arcade passes are not enabled by the administrator.

But they are enabled?

Very weird

Okay, when running the settingphrase.sql, I get this error:

SQL-query :

INSERT INTO `phrase` ( `phraseid` , `languageid` , `varname` , `text` , `phrasetypeid` )
VALUES ( 6472, 0, 'settinggroup_arcadepass', 'Arcade Pass Hack v3 Settings', 5000 )

MySQL said:

#1062 - Duplicate entry '6472' for key 1

edit: Does it matter what 'phraseid' I make it??? Looks like that SQL file walks all over my DB...

reedit: I appear to have fixed the problem, but I don't know if it was the right thing to do. I am awaiting a PM from Link14716 to let me know if its right. All I did was add a 1 in front of all the SQL queries for the settingphrase.sql file. So 6472 became 16472. Hopefully he'll reply here or to me in PM. I'd upload the SQL file, but it appears that I don't have permission to upload or something.

rereedit: haha. I figured out how to upload it, but I wouldn't run it if I were you until we hear from Link (or some vB hacker).

I have done and enabled everything by the book, but I cannot display the links. And when I try to access arcadepass.php directly, it tells me I do not have enough points for this. How do I make sure that the conditions below are enabled? I also have the categories hack installed.

<if condition="$show['arcadepass']">Arcade Pass Verified!<br /><br /><else /><if condition="$show['expiredpass']">Arcade Pass Expired! <a href="arcadepass.php?$session[sessionurl]">Buy a new one!</a><br /><br /><else /><if condition="$show['getpass']"><a href="arcadepass.php?$session[sessionurl]">Buy an arcade pass now!</a><br /><br /></if>

I have searched this thread and manu others trying to find the solution to my problem. I have installed ushop and the arcade pass. I installed the arcade pass manually and everything went fine but now when a game is played by a verified pass holder the links to play become available to all afterwards. Anybody have an idea on what might be causing this???

I have checked everything 3 to 4 times and cannot find where the problem is. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bigwrenn




Breavis- Check this thread out, I think it will shed light on what your asking: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...&highlight=htl

OK, all my issues seemed to be resolved.

Anybody?

I want to use Jackpot prizes, but I don't want users to have to bother with passes. If you turn off the arcade passes, can you still win points for top scores?

Can we get this without the Hack Installer System being needed?
