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:

Its strange: All my members can play fine, but One person. His scores are not registering when he finishes a game(he gets high scores, and uses Explorer). He does not even get directed to the 'comment' field screen.
I have added his UserGroupID, so that is not the problem. Plus, others in that usergroup are able to play and record scores. Anyone have any faint ideas as to what the problem is? I am quite clueless

Baptizer - Does that user have any special characters in their username (such as ~, ', #) or something like that? I think I remember there being a bug where it was messing up for users with special characters in their names and I'm not sure if it was ever corrected or not. If that is the case then there's a pretty simple fix.

Jeebus!
Is he ever going to release an .FLA for us flash authors to have a gander at?  Or at least tell us how the highscores are passed back from the .SWF, my users want new games and I want to give them new games! There isn't much point in having the ability to add them if no one will tell us how to send highscore values back to vbProArcade!

well guys here it is, it is a decompiler that will allow you to see the code and system that is used to pass the code to the high score table.
Please remember that this ISNT an edior, it just allows you to read/see the way the flash program works and from that you should be able to edit and intergrate the games that you have! the links http://www.buraks.com/asv/index.html  (download the evaluation/demo copy) Goodluck Matthew

Can anyone help with this problem, please? EDIT: Also just tried the Champion System, but it's not working. The custom champion titles aren't showing up under my username on posts even though I'm presently champ on two games on my forums. Any ideas there as well, please?

Whats really quite sad is one of my mods figured out how the score was passed before I did, and he pretty much told everyone on the forum how to fake scores.
now I've got everyone submitting fake scores to the arcade... *sigh* Who woulda thunk it would be so easy to do...
