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.

Im going to do this.

Im going to take my original includes/functions.php file that came with my VB3.0.3 install.

Then IM going to go through it and redo all my hacks that had a mod to that file, with this one 1st and test in between each one and see what happens.

Maybe something got messed up in my functions.php, who knows, but it was working fine before that change, and then working again after I took it back out.

Ill let you know. I probably wont get too it till tomorrow. Im beat...

Thanks for trying to help out. Its greatly appreciated...

Ok, set up a brand new database with 3.0.3 Updated the files uploaded everything and installed arcade. Arcade installed successfully but I still get the no permission message. I checked to see if all usergroup access were correct and indeed they were. I checked the arcade's general settings to find all the permissions in the "no" checkbox. So I select "yes" to all and click update only to find that they are reset back to "no".

I also got to mention that when I uploaded the modified 'includes/functions.php' the entire board stopped working so I had to work backwards to figure out which file was causing the trouble. I'm not sure if that's what could be causing the trouble...

Dont worry, your not the only one with that problem. It shuts my board down with a parse error if I do what they say to the funtions.php as well . Not sure what the deal is there lol.

I run the install script and i keep getting this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:
Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO vb3_datastore VALUES('arcadesettings', 845)

Ok, I tried using my original includes/functions.php that came with my install. Made just that change on it and it shut my board down again. So its not something in my functions.php , has to be something in that edit that causes it. Gives me a parse error everytime.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/drewster/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 1887

Strange thing is, I made no edits on or near line 1887. The edit I made was on lines 3527 and 3528..

Just started a poll over at miniclip.com, maybe we can get some grassroots support to get them to make games for V3arcade?
