PNflashgames does even offer Multiplayer-Games.


This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and later is full compatible to PHP5.6 and PHP7 and works with all vBulletin-versions 3.x/4.x with all the same Scripts !
PHP7.0/7.1 require minimum vBulletin 3.8.11 or 4.2.5 and ibProArcade v2.7.5+

Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x & 4.x.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
• For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):

Alright, its the way your server is setup and you need to have your Admin of your server correct this issue.

Have them log into your account with SSH and have them run the following command:

chown -R admin123:admin123 *

Admin123 being your account. This will run through ALL your files and straighten out your server so all permissions/ownership our yours and not Apache's. This issue tends to arise when the server is NOT in High Security mode. I can't help anymore than this cuz I didn't do it, I just know that's how they fixed it on my server. Discovered this issue when I was trying to back my site up to leave that server to go to a new host.

Good luck and hope that helps. Should be enough for you to give to your server admin and send them down the right road to fix this issue.

That is how he does it now and it only works on what is there then. When a new file is untarred on the server, it gets set to apache ownership again.

I had the same problem today. I went in the admin for arcade, score settings and just clicked the start button for update league and it was all back.

If you setup a virtualhost, then only that host gets it's files written out by the user you specify. Others on the system aren't changed, they'll still be written out by the user who Apache is specified to run under.

Hi, Firstly, I would just like to say that my forum members and I love this hack.

However, on eor two have mentioned that when playing pacman after 10 mins or so they appear to be logged out of the forum and therefore their highscores are not recorded. The thing is not everyone is effected by this. I am sure it's not the hack but something else, do you have any ideas please?

Thanks

Ben

You can solve that by telling your members to log in with the option "remember me?" checked !

That is the only solution for so far working !

BY the way, anyone know a place i can find more games to add ?

Sounds like a cookie issue. What's your Time-Out for Cookie setting?

I've never experienced that problem from my users, but all of them click the Remember Me option when logging in, or at least I think they do. I have a couple of games that take upwards to 30 minutes to an hour to play, and no one's complained about being logged out.

[Benedict]

Thank you guys for the great response

I reported straight back that they should make sure that the click "remember me" option and I have just found out that, that has done the trick. :thumb:

Thanx for your help/support, tis much appreciated

[columbonet]

Are there any other known skins for the arcade? I don't like all the high scores on the skin.

[Ohiosweetheart]

Problem all fixed, arcade re-installed

[sitestem]

I've tried to install the skin, but I can't make the changes reccomended in the install file. The files it says to change are marked in orange because they are customized in my style. How do I get around this?

Thanks...
