1.0.1 - Bug fix update
? This release addressed a couple of small bugs. Information on fixing
these issues can be found in the FAQ. (Included in this zip.)

order which they were installed, regardless of whether or not it has
been played. (With the newest games at the top.)

page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.
? There is also a new search feature, for finding games by name/description. (Accessible through the "Search" menu in the navigation bar.)

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.

Yes I am, with that table and the Welcome table on the main arcade page

Slappy Nutz · #**859** 01-26-2004, 10:24 AM

Well I got it, thanks

solboy · #**860** 01-26-2004, 01:30 PM

Can tell me where I can find this template?: arcade_play

solboy · #**861** 01-26-2004, 01:56 PM

Here is a login name and password:

Here is the link: http://www.bahamasissues.com/arcade.php?

Notice that the tables are all messed up.
Where can I adjust the width of these tables?

k i think i found a somewhat major bug.

I currently have the high score in Tetris on my forum, with a score of 294597.

On the top scores board, my name and score is listed as 1st place, w 2nd place having 156027. Also on arcade home where it lists all the games, my name is listed as champion.

however, when you play the game it says score to beat is the 2nd place score. and that guy also has the champion icon in his postbit.

this just randomly happened, it was working fine. I even switched it back in phpmyadmin, then woke up again this morning and its back to the same error.

also, benguin bashing often wont let you submit a score if you have been playing for long

This bug has already been found, read the thread.

solboy · #**864** 01-26-2004, 05:02 PM

Can you help me John?

Fi_InCogNiTo · #**865** 01-26-2004, 05:16 PM

On line 42 of your mini stats instructions in the Extras folder says:

PHP Code:


			
FROM gamesessions

Should be changed to this for people using table prefixes:

PHP Code:


			
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions

The arcade works perfect along with the extras on my board. Great job John
