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:

OK, yeah sorry - I was thinking more of 1,2,3 positions for each game. Don't worry its prob. not that good an idea anyway .
I'm using 1.03 and have turned on all the champion items in the general options and for each game, but they still don't show. In the Admin CP for each game it does show in Red the champion and their score. |

I finished the User Detail section of Beta 2 today. It provides some neat statistics about each user's activities in the arcade.
Check out the screen shot below to get an idea of what it looks like. There is still all sorts of stuff I can add to this part in the future, such as ranking all users against each other as far as who is the best out of all games, most consistent, longest duration, and so on. But in the interest of getting this version out the door, I decided to freeze the features at what I have now. |

Future, have any new games been added to Beta 2 yet? Like that Frogger clone I sent you perhaps? And thanks again.
And yes, I will still kill for a Galaga flash game that works with this. I dream of the day I find it. |

If you post the file there, I'm sure somebody could work on modifying it. I was not too jazzed about the Frogger from Flashkit because, well, I thought it wasn't too good. Really sluggish controls. But that's just me, I guess. I think I'm used to Neave's awesome games, which are just too good! |
