vbProArcade Beta 2
1/5/03: Beta 2 released 9/12/02: Beta 1.03 zip updated to include safe mode fix 9/3/02: Beta 1.03 released -- small bug fixes, see below 9/1/02: Beta 1 of vbProArcade has been posted. Please see below for installation instructions. Background Information vbProArcade is a fully-customizable Flash arcade add-on for vBulletin, complete with game-by-game scoreboards, forum integration, a "champions" system, statistics, and more. This is an extensive hack that is still in BETA form, and I don't recommend installing it if you are not willing to work through potential issues and future updates/upgrades! I am working on making the installation instructions as easy as possible, but it will probably be some time before it is perfect. Watch this post for updates as they happen, and check out screenshots from the list below. If you would like to see the hack in action, you may visit my Shadows of Namek forums. You will need to register to play, but you can view the scoreboards and the arcade itself as a guest. Credits This hack materialized thanks to work and help from a number of people and forums. Here they are:
So far, there are FIVE GAMES that work correctly with this hack. They are: Breakout Pacman Snake Space Invaders Tetris All five .SWF files are included in the release archive. There is now a Flash Games Development Thread for the purpose of modifying existing games to work with vbProArcade, or for creating new games to be compatible with vbProArcade. If you have a game that you wish to see modified but don't know how, post the .FLA source in that thread and hopefully somebody can assist you. Installation Instructions Download the file attached to this post, unzip it and familiarize yourself with the contents BEFORE doing anything. There are TWO separate files worth reading, the Documentation and the Installation Instructions. I recommend that you read both BEFORE doing anything else. Once you have done this, the instructions to be followed are contained in vbproarcade-install.txt. Follow them as precisely as possible. If you encounter an error somewhere, it is likely that you missed a step or made a small error. Please double-check your work BEFORE posting about problems here. And it cannot be said enough: read that file before you do anything, and if you are unsure of something, please post your question(s) before attempting to install the hack. Problems and Fixes/Workarounds (as of 1/5)
Here is the list of stuff that I know does not work. I will be working towards correcting these bugs BEFORE adding new features for the next release.
Here is the list of posts from this thread that contain screen shots for the new version. Check them out!
This is the stuff that is in progress for future release:

I also have a few users that are experiencing a strange problem. No matter what game they play, and no matter how long or short that game is, when the game finishes they are taken back to the main arcade page instead of being prompted to submit their score. One user is using IE 6.0, the rest have not replied to my PMs. Any ideas?

But people running IE should not have problems. You could ask if they are behind a proxy server, which may cause an issue, but I can't think of any way to fix it. As I mentioned earlier, using GET rather than POST is one solution, but not a good one. The other is to hard-code the redirect URL into the Flash games, but that would require that everybody running the hack either have a copy of Flash MX to edit the .FLAs (bad) or everybody sticks the arcade files in the same directory (probably impossible). As always, I am open to any other ideas that people may have. I have been following some of these bugs on FlashKit.com and believe me, we are not the only ones to be experiencing them.

I had the exact problem with the redirect after the games...
It was solved for me after i reformatted  Before that though, I had tried everything. I cleared and reinstalled flash, I cleared and reinstalled shockwave, Cleared all my "Downloaded Program Files", cleared cookies in many different ways, and about a dozen other things, and nothing worked, until i reformatted my pc. I couldn't even begin to imagine what the problem was, at this point.... All i know is that it works now

Oh yeah, really nice hack!
Installation worked without any problems, and i can play the games as they are supposed to be played The only problem is, only i can play the games, along with the other admins :surprised: How can i set it up so it works with the other usergroups? This has probably been answered before, but it's tough having to read through 518 replys to get the answer Hope you can understand.And one more thing: every time i do a reply, it says, in the upper left corner Connection Refused (111). Howcome? Other than that, i must say: This is a really sweet hack! No doubt about that, and i can't wait for the future realeses! //Kasper
