The earlier bug fix caused a new bug to arise. Yes, you may smack me with the cluebat. I f00ked up in my bugfix. *slaps self*
Anyhoo, to patch your install, just overwrite your admincp/hackadmin.php with the new version found in the NEW ZIPFILE, attached below.
I've improved the entire

BUG FOUND! A minor, harmless bug was found in the Make vB.org Post section of /admincp/hackadmin.php - to upgrade, re-download the zipfile (clear your cache first!) and overwrite hackadmin.php on your server with the new one. If you haven't yet installed the HTL, make sure to get the latest download and you should be fine. Thanks Rein for the report ^_^

Maybe I am mistaken, but did I not read somewhere that this hack can be used to do a vbb3 upgrade? I would love to install the vbb3 Gold on my site, but I do not want to have to reinstall all the hacks I have installed on it.

Can this hack be used to tell me what to change in my RC4 code to make it the same as 3.0 Gold?

neocorteqz, I appreciate your comment. However, referring me to Kura's site does me no good. His site just asks for a username and password. I have no way to ask him a question.

As far as i know, for the time being, he is not offering support here. as far as i know, he is only offering support for this there. For the time being.

All you have to do is sign up, it's a fast process. and if you never post there after this question is answered. that's ok.
i just suggested this because he hasn't logged in here, nor posted in this thread for a bit.

I runt he set up and stuff and on step 2 where all the phrases are being imported, it doesn't do anything and I see no button to continue to step 3/5 so i can't finish installing this. The database step woroked fine but the phrase step just won't work. I uploaded everything right including the hack file in binary, what's wrong with this? I want to set up that litestats back.

I tried asking this on thier supposed support forum, but apparently they don't visit thier forum that often so here is my question. I believe your HTL created the second "hack menu" in the cp. Well if where going to have a second menu for hacks then I'd like all the hacks installed be in this menu. So far it shows HTL an the vBtrader. The arcade hack menu is placed in the standard menu,so my question is where do I put the arcade menu code so it shows up in the second "hacks menu"? Thanks for your help, this stuff gets complicated.

* floris quickly replies to this post before you decide to flea to another site ..:ninja:

But seriously, sorry that you didn't get a swift reply - I just see no reason why you should rant about it on another web site. Ok, having said that: I wish I could help you, but I don't know nothing about hacking

[BarBeQue]

action-n,

That hack menu is only for HTL hakcs.
The arcade isn't htl hence that and all other non htl hacks won't show in that menu.
In fact your admin cp doesn't even "know" you have the arcade or other non htl hacks installed. So you can't get it in there.

Seems as if the zip file is corrupt now.... can someone upload a new copy?

Thanks
