these issues can be found in the FAQ. (Included in this zip.)

? This release makes all games on the Arcade main page appear in the
order which they were installed, regardless of whether or not it has
been played. (With the newest games at the top.)
? It includes a
page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.
? There is also a new search feature, for finding games by name/description. (Accessible through the "Search" menu in the navigation bar.)

History & Hack Information
- So, what is the v3 Arcade?
The v3 Arcade is exactly what the name implies - an online games arcade that offers seamless integration with your vBulletin forum.

The v3 Arcade is the first of the new generation of vBulletin additions. Back from its roots, the v3 Arcade is the vBulletin 3 edition of my original Arcade written in late 2002 (not to be confused with futureal's 'ProArcade', which was written during the Arcade's beta phase).

v3 Arcade Features Include:
? Integrated Flash gaming for vBulletin 3
? Advanced leader board system
? FULL Mozilla/Netscape Compatibility
? Moderation abilities for Mods/Super Mods/Admins
? PM & Email notification for events
? Advanced statistics for all users
? A higher level of security
? "Arcade Challenges", 1-on-1 contests between users
? Arcade awards system
? Automated and manual score pruning tools

This installation comes loaded with the following games:
? Tetris
? Snake
? Asteroids
? Chopper Challenge
? Space Invaders

If you have the source (.FLA) for a game that you want to use in the v3 Arcade, you can send the required files to john@v3arcade.com for conversion. (Providing permission has been given by the original author.) Within a reasonable delay, I'll post the converted game and installation script on vBulletin.org.

Testing
Tested on vBulletin 3.0.3, across multiple unhacked installations.

Thanks to...
? Kura: For helping out with vB3 difficulties!
? Erwin: Whose vB2 Flash Player inspired the original hacks
? Paul Neave: For providing the source for 4 of the standard v3 Arcade games

IMPORTANT NOTES
? If you do install this hack, please click on the INSTALL button. There are going to be some updates for this which you're really not going to want to miss!
? Each Arcade page has an Eovie Interactive and Flash Player link at the bottom. This is optional, but greatly appreciated.

? You may have noticed that this release of the v3 Arcade is not fully phrased. To phrase the arcade would require well over a hundred phrases to be added, making for a lengthy installation process! Futures version of the v3 Arcade will be phrased, with a more automated installation.
? And don't forget - BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!

Regarding the "ProArcade"
There has been a lot of debate on vb.org recently about the ownership of hack "concepts". My original Arcade hack (on which the v3 Arcade is based), was a progression of the my vBTetris Leaderboard hack - both of which came about before the ProArcade. I've spoken to Erwin regarding this, and he can confirm that this has always been an independent development; hence the v3 Arcade was authorised for release.

Fixes
If you're installing the Arcade from scratch, there are no fixes or updates to be applied. Simply follow the instructions in Installation.txt.
If you've already installed the Arcade, make the changes in Updates.txt.

Mine do the same thing but only when the server is really busy. I solved the general save problem by changing the Connection Timeout in IIS 6 on Windows 2003 Server to 30 minutes instead of the default 2 minutes.

I installed this hack and it seemed to go smoothly, however, when I select the bank from the drop-down menu, I get my normal web page, but this error is printed at the top.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /my/path/to/ushop.php on line 144

When I refresh the page, it works fine, but every once in awhil eit does it again.

I did not modify my ushop.php file at all and I double-checked each modification I made. It is installed according to the instructions.

Hi I have a quick question. I'm not sure how to explain this so here goes.

On the post bit where is shows a small icon of the game you are champ and what game e.g "Tetris Champion!".

What I want to do is... Instead of them being on top of each other I want them next to each other without the "Tetris Champion!".

Hope you know what I mean... If so does anyone know how to do this?

Cheers,

Truz

In this thread.

http://www.v3arcade.com/play/showthread.php?t=594

it contains two sets of instructions, one for a drop down menu, and one with Just what you want, with Score on hover, and Linking to the specific game, later in that particular thread.

hope that helps.

If there is an equal score in any arcade game, it's a bit confusing: in the top ten list is the player who played first the best, also in the arcade awards row this game is listed, but in the main page of arcade the player who played as second is the first.

I have installed the Arcade v1.02

ImportPassion · #**2303** 06-01-2004, 11:13 PM

when i go to delete a comment, why does it ask to delete the score?

ImportPassion · #**2304** 06-01-2004, 11:34 PM

figured it out. little mistake in the install

PHP Code:


			
$template[6]['title'] = 'arcade_deletecomment';

$template[6]['template'] = '<form action="arcade.php" method="post">

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[outerborderwidth]" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center"> 

  <tr> 

    <td><table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%"> 

        <tr align="center"> 

          <td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><b>Delete Score</b></span></td> 

        </tr> 

        <tr align="center"> 

          <td class="alt2" valign="middle"><span class="smallfont">

            To delete this score, check the box below and click "Delete Score".</span><p> 

            <input type="checkbox" name="deletecheck" value="1">

            <input class="button" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Delete Score">

            <input type="hidden" name="sessionid" value="$sessionid">

            <input type="hidden" name="gamename" value="$_GET[gamename]">

            <input type="hidden" name="do" value="dodeletecomment">

<input type="hidden" name="page" value="$_GET[page]">

            </td> 

        </tr> 

      </table></td> 

  </tr> 

</table>

</form>';

O.K. I still have not resolved my issue, so I need some suggestions because I must be overlooking something.

This is the error I get
includes/config.php does not exist. Cannot continue.

and when I fix that, I get this

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: log_admin_action() in /stangcountry/forums/admin/index.php on line 33

and this is the code

if (empty($_REQUEST['do']))
{
log_admin_action();
}

So does anyone have ideas?

yeah

Before this line you add the arcade link.

HTML Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>

the link for calandar would come after this line.

HTML Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
