page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.

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.

Ummm... Somone, please help me...
I installed it,after reading the FAQ, i went to go reset the permissions in the 'init.php?' file. I reupped it and got this message on the forum.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/prowrest/public_html/forum/includes/init.php on line 801

I cant access the forum now, or do anything. I even reupped the regular init.php and global.php? files from the vb file package i had. Any help?

[funinthesun]

This may be a dumb question but I'm trying to edit the files in dreamweaver but it doesn't seems to have a find function that I can use. Does anyone know if their is a quick way of finding code on dreamweaver to stop having to scroll through hundreds of code looking for the bit I want? Thanks

[funinthesun]

OK, the reason why my search function wasn't working is because the piece of code doesn't exit in my index.php file. I was looking for if (can_administer('canadminstyles')) but I can only find if (can_administer('canadminusers')). Do I edit this file instead or have I missed something completely?

[funinthesun]

I don't know if it's something I am doing wrong but I also can't find print_table_header($vbphrase['forum_viewing_permissions']); in the usergroups.php file.

[funinthesun]

Ah just realised that this is for vb 3.0.3 and I'm running on 3.5. Is this possible why it's not working? Sorry for asking repeat questions but I didn't want to go through all 298 pages on this thread!
