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)

As said, it is included. Just act like it is just a standard installer.

The HIS does not need a seperate installation, and is completely included in the zip.

when i installing this hack : "Click here to begin the installation process -->" then error : "Arcade Pass v3 build #1 contains no index.php containing hack information and cannot be installed." !
Why ? help me !

[Link14716]

Unsuprisingly I've botched this release as well, leaving me wondering "Just where in the ++++ did those files go?"

Removing the attachment now to fix this problem. Son of a +++++.

Alright, the file is back up. Redownload it and reupload everything. The install should work then.

I need to uninstall this hack. I installed using the HTL version a while ago. I went in there and chose "uninstall hack" from the drop down menu, but nothing happens. Is there an easy way to uninstall this hack? I am getting DB errors such as this one

Invalid SQL: UPDATE user) SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+428.88333333333 WHERE userid='189'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ') SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+428.88333333333 WHERE userid='189'' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

. This happens when anyone tries to submit their scores. I would like to uninstll the hack and try reinstalling it. Can someone let me know what query to run to erase the db modifications.

Thanks

Can someone post the file edits and template edits .. Ran the installer and screwed up somewhere and now can't re-run the installer again.

[The Equivocate]

When I go into my AdminCP to edit a game, I am unable to click in or edit the Game Cost, Jackpot, or Jackpot Increase fields. They are empty and blank, and you can't click in them or hit tab from another field (it skips over them). I have no idea why it would be doing this...

Also I figure it might not even be that necessary, if there is just some MySQL query that I can run since I want all the games to have the same values for those fields anyways.

I've traced the problems with the links to the template: arcade_main_games_bit

I fixed it!

I removed all of the following: '<if condition="!isset($show['nolink'])">' and the concluding '</if>' with it.. not sure why it made it not work, but the links work and I tested it and no problems so far.
