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:

Hi all,
Been awhile. I'm sure many are ticked that I have been away from this thread. Life has taken a number of twists for me that have kept me out of here, but I am starting to get some time back. Anyway, worthwhile points to note: #1] vbProArcade is installed and working under vBulletin v3.0 Beta 6 on my test site. I will not, under any circumstances, be distributing this until v3.0 is officially released, as per the Beta license agreement. Since the hack is mostly self-contained, updating it to work with vBulletin 3 was really not all that difficult. #2] There will still be one final release for v2.x and it should be soon.

Great, will be looking forward to your v2.x release, Glad to have ya back
 !!!In the final version of the 2x version of the arcade, is it possible to add, Hall of Fame, Hack or wish list hack, I'd do it my self but I don't know php well enough yet... How it would work: At the end of the month have a feature to wipe the current database scores in the arcade, and move the top 5 players for each game to a hall of fame page. So on the hall of fame you would have Hall of Fame March, 2003, top 5 players per game April, 2003, top 5 players per game May 2003, top 5 players per game this would help keep the size of the arcade down.. Bugs: - Wipe Arcade doesn't work again welcome back

Thanks for the feedback. The wiping function was fixed in the versions I am running. Hall of Fame is a good idea, I will see about adding that for sure.
Part of the problem I had with designing/debugging the hack was that I did it all in a production environment, which was certainly not the smartest thing. That's where some of the bugs (especially the template ones) came from. I'll have more info soon.

Installed on vbulletin 2.3.2 w/ vbportal 2.3.0 RC2 and with four different themes....here http://www.g-hub.com
Just a suggestion for themes...the themes colours that are good for vbulletin and vbportal sometimes make the templates for ProArcade look really bad, ie. no contrast between the text and background....can ProArcade have its own independent color table that is editable from Admin CP?? Will it be hard for me to upgrade to future versions of ProArcade once I've installed Beta2?
