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.

I hear mention of "jackpots" being directly deposited to Ucash, if you have the Ushop/Ucash hack installed also. (I'm running both, flawlessly, but they don't "interact" point wise.

Can someone please direct me where I can find out about having member's winnings in the arcade convert into points for the Ucash/Ushop hack? You can purchase an "arcade pass" which allows you to enter the arcade, but I can't see a method of rewarding game winners with "cash" that they can use to purchase "things" in the UTT Store.

I've searched all relevant threads and boards, to no avail.

Thanks! The arcade most definitely rules. My members love it.

Hi John,

you Hack is great, I tried it out on other sites, but on my vB it doesen't work..

When I want to run the install-file, I get an error in line 706 and I'm sure that I did my job correct.

You have to know I use the german pack, because I'm from Germany (muahaha).

I tried to use the english install-file and that ran, but the next problem was:

When I click on "Spielhalle" (to start this hack), it comes a sql-error:

Datenbankfehler in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Ungueltige SQL-Abfrage:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS plays, SUM(finish-start) as time
FROM gamesessions
WHERE valid=1

mysql error: Table 'usr_web1_1.gamesessions' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

But the table "gamesessions" exists in my sql - I think its not possible to install with the english file.

So it would be a great pleasure if you can give me advice what could be the problem.

Tank you and merry xmas,

Chris

Has the cron problem been fixed yet somehow? It only runs if I do it manually...

[Robink]

Amazing hack.

Works great on my almost unhacked vb 3.0.3

Is there a way to keep users in the arcade logged in? its a shame to get a high score and the server logs you out. If this has been covered please direct me to where it is. Please and thank you.
