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:

If there's a 'case' in your current online.php just add arcade's somewhere there.
Or you could uninstall the hack (or copy the online.php from the original distro file) and reapply arcade first, whos online next. |

Areku, Thank you for replying and thats just what I did, I removed the whos online hack for now by reinstalling the original distro file.
But now I seem to have another problem, I installed the arcade hack in a Test Only vb board I have set up online at my site (with vb's permission) and the hack works perfect. Then I installed this hack on our main vb board using the same files I hacked for the test board along with the same templates I created, but the arcade files seem to be looking for itself in the wrong directories when I try to run it. My directory structure is like this "/public_html/urbanflows/forums/admin" (the admin directory is password protected) I installed the files in the forums and admin directories as required but If I try to run the program from the link on the forums home page it keeps looking in the urbanflows directory for the files. And everything looks normal in the admin cp except that the icons don't show up, and their also looking for themselves in the urbanflows directory too. If you visit this link you'll see that none of the graphics show up and the links on the page don't know where any of the files are. http://www.urbanflows.com/forums/proarcade.php The program just seems confused about where its at. Any ideas?? |

Sylem you have to change the url in the admin cp in vbulletin options but now i am haveing another problem no matter what i do i get this
A 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. i refresh teh games before i play everything is working find but i keep getting that. |

Thanks |
