1.0.1 - Bug fix update
? This release addressed a couple of small bugs. Information on fixing
these issues can be found in the FAQ. (Included in this zip.)

1.0.2 - Bug fixes and new features
? This release makes all games on the Arcade main page appear in the
order which they were installed, regardless of whether or not it has
been played. (With the newest games at the top.)
? It includes a
page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.
? There is also a new search feature, for finding games by name/description. (Accessible through the "Search" menu in the navigation bar.)

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 would go into the templates and insert in one after the other <Table tag a border="1". Then you can see where the table fits.

My guess would be that one table will end just before the arcade stuff and instead of having the arcade stuff in the table you have a second end of </Table which should not be there. But this is "a finger in the air" guess.

Cheers,

if you saved as text, maybe it added on the .txt extension and you didnt realize it?
make sure the global.php isnt named global.php.txt on your site, that seems like its the problem

OK I`m a jerkoff but not a total jerk off
renamed the file started from scratch using tsWebedit and saved all over uploaded again

got the same error above:

Warning: main(./includes/init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/causeyjr/public_html/forum/admincp/global.php on line 18

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/causeyjr/public_html/forum/admincp/global.php on line 18

changed : ./includes/init.php to ../includes/init.php now got this after running install again:includes/config.php does not exist. Cannot continue.

change it back to original state but got email from database:
Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0:

Invalid SQL: SELECT gameid, shortname, gamesettings FROM games mysql error: Table 'causeyjr_.games' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

I dont want to give up yet checked in phpadmin no new database entry!!!

Then I'd assume it doesn't exist.. If it was there it wouldn't be teling you it wasn't. You've given it the wrong name, or it just isn't there.

I'm going to assume that causeyjr_ is your table prefix. Why is it putitng a period between the table prefix and the table name? I'd assume youd cahnged something or didn't do something right somewhere.

Well i just tried the install again, with the older version, and ran into the same problem. I go to log into the admin CP for vbulletin and get the follwing error -

vBulletin Message
Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/gpf/public_html/forums/global.php
Line: 638

I am doing all the file modifications first and then re uploading them into their respective directories again. The the install file tells me to do the template modifications and when i go to login to the admin CP i get that error. Has anyone experienced this, or can someone tell me what I am doing wrong??

Thanks
