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:

GaleForce: Sadly, not really.
The templates you could probably just replace with never versions, rather than removing the old ones. The SQL tables should be removed and then re-installed. The actual code changes will mostly be in the same places, but not necessarily. That's why I've recommended uninstalling the original Beta 1 before installing Beta 2.

I have a slight suggestion for scoring options... Rather than record every score, how about just like the top 10 or 25, like on a real arcade machine....

This is what is done for Beta 2.1 so far:
- Fixed SQL Error in User Detail Screen - Fixed Game Ordering in User Detail Screen - Fixed $bburl in User Detail Screen - Fixed Mini-Scoreboard Display to show "Nobody" when a game is new - Added Additional $_GET security (check for GET variables) - Optimized Mini-Scoreboard Display, now 1 query per game - Added Additional Statistics to Arcade Page (total users, games, time) - Added Browser Compatibility Disclaimer Before I release this sucker, can anybody think of anything else (major) that needs to be addressed? I don't plan on adding any new features to the Arcade until there is a close-to-100% stable version that I can actually call a true release. I am more focused on fixing bugs and compatibility problems right now.
