Members messaged me in the main forum asking if I would release this addon. I Hope I'm not stepping on any toes by doing so, the intent of this release it to help make it easier to install a stable version of this hack and save some time trying to fix templates etc.
Works with vb2.3.2 - and below.
Goal: To help make the install for the vbProArcade Beta 2, easier, and fix some of the bugs template bugs I found.
I've posted proper credits in install readme included in zip. I talked to Futureal a while back and he said to go ahead and post this. I hope you guys find it useful.
FIRST BACKUP your database:
This hack/addon in conjunction with the main install.txt file that comes with vb pro arcade beta 2.
so first goto here and download the main hack if your doing a clean install.
There are two parts to this addon, one fix some broken templates and two fix some bugs I found. This also cuts the install time down on this hack from 20+ mins to 5 mins. So far it's been a clean install every time for me.
About Addon & Hack
When I first installed this hack, there is a section where your personal score boards are black, and the links don't work linking back to your main arcade. This addon fixes that, shows you what I changed so that if you want you can also use this addon to upgrade your current install if you have recently install this.
I also seperated all 23 templates in the install zip into 23 template txt files. Which I've included in the zip. In my install.txt readme I've explained how you can install all 23 templates in just under 5 seconds :P
vbproarcade_addon.txt - in side zip file.
Note: This works great on vb 2.3.2

I just made this addon to help people install it better and cleaned up a few tables. Can't wait for the next update, as for if someone made the origional arcade wasn't him, let me know who and I'll add the credits to the hack
There was actually never a full arcade, per se, it was a complex version of Erwin's vbTetris hack. John added the scoreboard idea, and then I started with that and made an admin interface for it and then added the ability to do multiple games. I think John worked on extending the vbTetris hack himself but never publicly released it, or at least not that I'm aware of.
This has been in the vbProArcade source file from the beginning:
// Originally based on vBulletin Tetris Hacks and
// other work by John Warwick and Erwin Loh

I made that thread only because I didn't know if it would be good for the community or not if I released a similar hack to his.
If you read back in that thread, you'll see that the hack you're referring to is my original Arcade Hack. I can name numerous people who had the beta of my arcade, long before your "proArcade" was released - including Erwin, I might add.
@futureal:
Dude, I distinctly remember that you only expanded on John's hack. Mostly cos it was the last thing I looked at on this site before I more or less left for a long time (and only got back recently).

Interesting how you say it never existed... maybe you should ask Erwin.
As I said in the last post I made in this very thread, there was no public release of John's arcade hack that I was aware of. You just said the same thing: a few people had it, but there was not a public release.
Now you're calling me a liar?
Ever since the VERY BEGINNING I have given full credit to John and Erwin for laying the groundwork for this.
You guys just singlehandedly destroyed my motivation to continue working on this hack or with this community in general. I can't even begin to comprehend why you are suddenly attacking me for this.
