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:

Yea, that would do it. The arcade uses the $bburl string to get all file locations and redirects, so if it is not set correctly in the Admin CP, it won't work.
Glad you got it working!

I'm currently testing vbProArcade Beta 2.1 for futureal, so we can get this out to you guys faster.
I've found a few buts, but can tell you the SQL intall system is a breeze on vb2.3.2 no errors yet that I can tell. I've created some new replacements for the hack to make the templates a bit easier to match to peoples sites, which I'll send futureal soon. So far I have to say the hack is almost full release level from the scripts I've tested so far. I'm not sure how much info he wants me to post so I'll keep it short for now. I think you guys will be really impressed with his work on the next version  Peace

The miniscoreboards require 1 query per game right now. It could be reduced, but the amount of PHP computation and memory would actually put more of a load on the server than just leaving the queries in there. I will be adding an option to display certain games, random games or only a certain amount of games on the mini scoreboard page to keep queries down. Probably in Beta 2.2.

Any idea why comments are not showing up? I play a game and when done, it shows my score and asks for a comment. I enter one and it gives no errors. However it shows "none" in the comment column.

Now that's a problem I haven't heard of before. Could you make a test account on your forum and provide a link for one of us to check it out on?
Thanks.

bitg: Your arcade is closed, so I can't view or test anything.
However, I do see one problem right away: when a user clicks on one of the games from the top menu, you'll see that the $session[sessionhash] variable is not getting translated into the MD5 sessionhash (look in the browser's status bar). You probably need to add $session to the list of globals wherever you are calling that stuff from. Not sure if that could be related, but it's certainly one thing to fix.

Damn, I was wondering why nobody was playing? lol. Sheesh. OK, the arcade is open now.
Can you tell me what the link should look like? How do I add a $session to the list of globals?
