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

page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.

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.

You're gonna need to edit the templates in the skins that aren't working in the same way you edited the one that is working...

Pseudomizer · #**2377** 06-19-2004, 09:54 PM

Help please. I just enabled auto-pruning and the scheduled task is in there. The setting is 14 days for pruning. Now i though i reset the scores but when i clicked it and typed in YES, it deleted some of the records but not all. I am very sorry, but this is confusing. I would understand if nothing had been removed but why are only some records deleted and some not ? Please help me to understand this.

Cheers,

Cold Steel · #**2378** 06-20-2004, 06:28 AM

Anytime I try viewing IPs in the admin cp, I only see my own.

The reason I am posting this here is that vB Team Support Manager said this:

Any ideas?

I have cross-posted here as well.

AbstractHipHop · #**2379** 06-20-2004, 05:15 PM

*installing now*

FutureDEV · #**2380** 06-20-2004, 05:43 PM

Any update on the netPlay? Thanks.

Battle_Ring · #**2381** 06-21-2004, 12:18 AM

i think you should amke it so when someone challenges someone the winner of that challenge gets goings from the u shop and u points

that would be awesome you could set how many poitns they get i nthe admin panel or something

LilPimp · #**2382** 06-21-2004, 04:43 AM

Is there any way to completley uninstall this hack. I don't want anything to do with it on my site, its messed it up way 2 many times to count. I've posted my problems around 3 or 4 times here and 3 or 4 times at the offical site and no answers. So is there a way to completley uninstall this hack.

Amzadi · #**2383** 06-21-2004, 05:08 AM

Yes, there is a way to completely unistall it. Is it easy, simple and fast? No. I uninstalled mine in under 15 minutes on my local server. It's still a great hack though.

Lurk · #**2384** 06-21-2004, 03:58 PM

I have a problem

on the instructions it says:

Find:

PHP Code:


			
            'stylecache'

        ), $specialtemplates);

Replace this with:

PHP Code:


			
            'stylecache',

            'arcadesettings'

        ), $specialtemplates);

I can't do that because mine is like this:

PHP Code:


			
            'stylecache', 

            'utt_store_act', 

            'vbookiesettings' 

        ), $specialtemplates);

What am i supposed to do or modify??

Amzadi · #**2385** 06-21-2004, 04:25 PM

Change it to

PHP Code:


			
'stylecache', 
             'arcadesettings',
             'utt_store_act', 
             'vbookiesettings'), 
             $specialtemplates);

and see if that works.

LilPimp · #**2386** 06-21-2004, 06:30 PM

Amzadi can ya make a list of all the mysql tables i must delete.
