Updates
==========================
1.0.0 - Initial release

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.)
? This release should be less CPU intensive than previous versions.

1.0.3 - Bug fixes
? Security fixes

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.

Awesome hack this - just installed it first time without a hitch - http://forums.planetxbox360.com/arcade.php?

One problem is that it didnt correctly port over my templates.

If you look at the main site http://forums.planetxbox360.com/ you will see a small border around the outside, plus the colour underneath the VB copyright message is grey.

If you look at the Arcade - http://forums.planetxbox360.com/arcade.php? - The border is gone, and colour underneath the VB copyright message is the background image.

I think somehow I need to include this in the VB Arcade templates, but where?

Quote:
<STYLE>
.highlighttable {
BORDER-RIGHT: #DBDBDB 3px solid; BORDER-TOP: #DBDBDB 1px solid; BACKGROUND: #ffffff; BORDER-LEFT: #DBDBDB 3px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #DBDBDB 3px solid
}
.grey-bg {
BACKGROUND: #d0ccc0
}
</STYLE>

Hi all!
I have some questions and problems with the v3arcade...
1. How can I uninstall a game?
2. Why when somebody tries to post a comment (including admins) it sais they don't have the permission to access this page? I've checked all of the permissions and everything seems correct! I've searched through this thread and this question has been asked but not answered!
3. I have MKportal installed. Why the games do not show inside it like the forum does?

Thanks in advance!!

After upgrading to 3.0.7, I've decided to reinstall the arcade, and have 5 skins installed. For whatever reason the arcade only shows up on the first skin - the rest just show a blank, white screen, when I added the template additions, I made sure they all went on all skins, not just the first one.

I had this working fine on 3.0.5, but not it just won't work with different skins, only the first one on the list.

Any ideas?

Short of this I'll have to uninstall the arcade which I really don't want to do.

Thanks!

Since the v3 Arcade site is shut down, is there anywhere else that has additions to this hack?

I'm looking for the drop down arcade awards add on. Anyone know where I can find it?

Just a note for people installing the "Extra" included in the zip file...learn from my mistake...know if you have vb3_ as the prefix for your tables before you upload the edit to arcade.php....it'll save you the "GODDAMNIT"

Amaresh. Can you send me your modified files? I can look over them if you want and see if I can spot something wrong?

Also do you have any other mods installed?

Important: Be careful with the copyright!! Ask the authors if it is okay for them that you use their games in your forum.
don?t upload any game to your forum if you are not sure, that this is legal
