For vb 4.x: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239817

This is a late-Beta, it has been tested fairly extensively and all the big kinks should be worked out. That said, once this hits more sites a couple other bugs are bound to work themself out. It works going back at least as far as the 3.6 branch of vBulletin, not sure about 3.5.

This is the free version of The Gameroom by http://vbgaming.org, the follow up / expansion of the Casino plugin for vBulletin. It improves the multiplayer gaming aspects by bringing in more games, and allowing users more options when starting and joining games.

- Seperated framework, Flash caches this once, and only once. Resulting in a smaller file size everytime after the first. It is cached across sites as well, so there is a good chance most people already have it
- Roulette history was showing '37' when it landed on '0'
- Chess - Optional grid labels / moves in chat box

Updating:
1) Upload the framework files, they should go into the main forum folder with the .swf files folder. You will only need to do this once, which is why they are in a seperate file.
2) Upload the files in the main package, make sure everything overwrites old copies.


*********************************
** Common Problems **
*********************************

Non-english letters are not working properly
This is a problem with flash player and has been in there bug tracker for a long time. The workaround is to edit the "gameroom" template, remove the line that ways "wmode='transparent'", the downside it your popup menus will come up behind the flash box, rather then in front of it.
Images are working in IE, but not in Firefox
You likely have some form of image hot linking turned on, it is causing the requests for the images to be blocked.
Locked self out of admin panel
In the tools folder there is a file called 'makemeadmin.php', upload this and go to that page. It will make you admin, don't leave it on your server when you are done.
Updated and it is acting funny
Make sure all of your files are up to date. When you update ensure that all files are overwritten. Having mix matched files will cause funny behaviour. You may also have to clear your cache and reload the page after uploading a new gameroom.swf file.

*********************************
** Uninstall **
*********************************

If you want to uninstall the following procedure will get you through it without tossing any DB errors:

1) Dissable the product, this shuts down all the plugins. If the files are removed and plugins are still active you may see errors on your site.

2) Undo the template changes, changes where made to the navbar template and the postbit / postbit legacy template.

3) Delete all files. If the files are still present and you remove the database entries by uninstalling the product anyone that attempts to access one of them will cause a error. The Flash Banner could cause many as it could still be making calls after the template changes are undone.

gameroom.php
gameroom.swf
gameroomBanner.swf
gameroom/*
includes/cron/gameroom_nightly.php


4) Uninstall the product file, which removes all database entries, that means the following are removed:

tables with 'gameroom_' as a prefix
gameroom_cash field within the user table

I suppose you could always just rename it to framwork.jpg, then rename it back after it's uploaded. Might be easier than fixing your FTP client, which you forgot to mention anyway.

tried that.. didnt work..
Im not using an FTP.. Im just going through my file manager (I use Ipowerweb.com.. they have a decent file manager that you can load files and such directly)

but for some reason it doesnt recognize the swz file..

so I changed it to a php and it loaded.. but now it wont let me edit it (isnt able to read the file)

no biggy I guess.. I'll just have to wait untill I get home on my PC and use my ftp to do it..

Great mod... have this installed on my forums.

Couple questions regarding betting. Is there a way to let users know how much they have won once the event was settled? I would of thought it'd show up under the "Winnings" column but nothing came up?

There was 16,500 on this winning event and I placed 500 credits... but my winnings column is empty... but IIRC I saw my total credit amount go up when I left the gameroom.

In other words...

Outcome A had 2600 total bet.
Outcome B had 16500 total bet.

Outcome B won so if my math is correct, 579 should be in my "Winnings" column?

500/16500*19100=579

Right? So how come nothing shows up?

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the excellent mod. I just installed it and did a conversion from the Casino script. I'm receiving an error when I manually run the cron job via scheduled tasks.

Code:
 Fatal error:  Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/gameroom/class_settings.php on line 55
The only reason I'm trying to run it manually is because I created a test account to make sure the referral credit is working. I suspect if it won't run manually it will also fail when running automated. Any thoughts as to why?

Thank you in advance,
Dan

I installed the casino hack, but the poker was way too slow. Has the speed improved in this version?

This is a great mod, but the graphics assets could be vastly improved. Those icons are low-res, and it's hard to make it blend with the rest of my forums.
