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.

The files aren't corrupt. The download process is. They all download fine in Opera, but are corrupt if downloaded with IE.

Good catch, Opera does work! Thanks!

I had an idiot newbie register for my forum and hack all the games to get high scores with a program called artmoney.

Any way I can prevent this? I made it so that people couldn't play games on my forum unless they have 100 posts first, but I don't think that will stop anyone...

BarBeQue · #**1866** 03-30-2004, 05:14 AM

Never heard of this program... I don't think naming it here was a good plan either, other peepz might get idea's

It's a memory change program... i doubt there is much or even anything that can be done against programs that adress the memory directly and change it's values

some games that have been posted need to be check cause i am getting corrupt files when extracting

kylek · #**1868** 03-30-2004, 06:54 AM

As ConqSoft mentioned earlier, the game files are not corrupt, are you using IE to download? I had the same problem but they downloaded fine with Opera.

zip in first post wont download proper

Corrupt archive

I dont believe this is an IE problem cause if that was case then why has everyones copy suddenly corrupted when they where fine before ?

It is a site prolem, related to IE. IE works fine on attachments on other vb3 sites. So, for now, use a different browser to download and you will be fine.

I don't think the installer made my gamesessions table.

Code:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0:
 
Invalid SQL: 
		SELECT COUNT(*) AS plays, SUM(finish-start) as time
		FROM gamesessions
		WHERE valid=1
 
mysql error: Table 'db87385808.gamesessions' doesn't exist
 
mysql error number: 1146

That doesn't look right though... "db87385808" is my database, not a table name...

[edit]Checked in phpmyadmin... the table is "vb3__gamesessions" so something's not working right.

[edit 2]Found the bug in arcade.php.... Most of you aren't using table prefixes, otherwise you'd have this bug too.
FIX:
Find:

Code:

$stats = $DB_site->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS plays, SUM(finish-start) as time
FROM gamesessions
WHERE valid=1
");

Replace with:

Code:

$stats = $DB_site->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS plays, SUM(finish-start) as time
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions
WHERE valid=1
");

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
