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:

Quote:
 There are editors for swf around that can do more then just that and they let you replace the whole scripting if you like. There are countermeasures but this requires advanced coding. Online gambling games for instance have an outstanding security for flash. You can however block users out of the arcade who have a score that is impossible by placing a htaccess file in the games dir.

BlackxRam: That's a good point, I had never considered that when I designed it (that a faster time would be a better score). I will make that change in the new version, and maybe post something about how to fix it in the old one (should not be hard).
NuclioN: My understanding of advanced Flash security is that it requires server components that will not be available to the average webmaster. I will keep researching it, though...

Sugguestion for Future Update:
Hall of Fame Hack, Records the Top Score for Each Game in arcade for that month, then at the end of the month wipes the main arcade. But keeps the hall of fame scores and users name. This would cut down on database space... example below, while testing vbpro arcade for Futureal. 22 different users have played a total of 588 games, lasting a combined total of 171 hours, 27 minutes and 10 seconds In the www.OrBSydia.com Classic Arcade I've posted about hall of fame before, but I haven't had the time to make the hack addon my self. Anyone else up for the challenge?

this question has already been asked. They have to get the time to port things over to vb3 RC1. Be patient
