This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and later is full compatible to PHP5.6 and PHP7 and works with all vBulletin-versions 3.x/4.x with all the same Scripts !
PHP7.0/7.1 require minimum vBulletin 3.8.11 or 4.2.5 and ibProArcade v2.7.5+

Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x & 4.x.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
• For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):

I'm sure this is a simple thing but never having done it before I could really do with some assistance.

Yours sleeplessly,

Hi Annie
No you do not have to extract the tar files. I have replied to you at ibprodownloads.com, please, you need to give people a chance to reply to you. In the last 10 hours I have seen at least 6 posts over 2 forums and your two requests in the shoutbox over there. I understand how frustrating it can be because most of us have been there and others will follow but the members who have been there or who are supporting will reply and help you.

For anyone else wanting the same instructions on how to:-

Step by step how to for those using

vBadvanced 3.0
vBulletin 3.6.8 and
IbProArcade v2.6.3 or v2.6.4

1. Dowload games from arcade here to folder on your pc
2. Upload zip file to your tar folder (eg / public_html / forum / arcade / tar /) (do not extract from zip its not needed)
3. Go to your admincp>arcade>add game
4. Now scroll to bottom on the page and you should see a table with your tar games - Install via a TAR archive (for ibProArcade Games) and you have the option of clicking install or delete.

Installing this way its all automatic for you and quick, at the bottom of the box it says install all which saves a lot of time.

The only time you need to fill in the top bit is if you are installing manually or you have a problem with a game and you cant adjust its settings in admincp when the latter happens you are just copying the game data into a fresh add game and when you add a game manually which you have downloaded somewhere else they will usually give you instructions on what the values are for you to add.

Hi Annie,
Do not extract the files.
Upload them as they are to:
yourforum/arcade/zip
or
yourforum/arcade/tar

They will be extracted by the server when you are installing them through the ACP.
In my case the server is not extracting zip files,only the tar files.

[Fanny Annie]

Thanks everybody. Seems even the simplest things are difficult when you don't know how.

One happy Bunny here!

Annie

Hi - I have a new install of the arcade downloaded yesterday on vb3.6.8. It installed a dream but I cannot add any new games. I have uploaded some TAR files as instructed but looking in my add game page, the Install TAR archive just says -no archive present - but there are definately games in there.
I also have vba cmps v3 RC2 installed - could it be something to do with the files paths because of that?

All help appreciated thank you.

ok - I am stupid. I just remembered that not sure whether to add arcade folder to site root or forum root I added it to both. I moved tar files to archive in forum/arcade folder instead of the one in site root and guess what - it now works.

I have a suitably embarrassed look on my face if it helps!

[CP,]

Ive searched and could not find the answer anywhere. My forum uses a skin and the background of my postbit_legacy info has a shade and the arcade image that goes into my users postbit legacy is very plain and i would like to add the shade to that also.

Now where can i find the code for this where it is placed on the postbit_legacy? I looked everywhere and could not find any arcade templates.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

[CP,]

Anybody have a copy of that doomed game? The PNflashgames website was and has not been updated since 2006!

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Where do I find these at?

Now CHMOD the /arcade directory and all its subfolders to 0777

Make sure that there is no installer.php in your forum's root directory, if so -> delete them !

You find them on your server, usually using an FTP program (or perhaps your control panel file manager on the server).

[MrZeropage]

by now we already DOUBLED the amount of installations of v3arcade, this really proves that development, support and a rich set of feature do really count for you all.

Thanks alot - this makes it worth to spend time for this project
