These hack adds new look to your arcade main page.

Files to edit: 1
Templates to edit: 2


Very easy to install... Just 2"
---------------------------------------------------

Find in arcade.php

	// Gets all of the games
	while ($game = $DB_site->fetch_array($result_allgames)) {
		$gamename = $game['shortname'];
		if ($gamecache["$game[shortname]"]) {
			$game = $gamecache["$game[shortname]"];
		} else {
			// the game has never had a score recorded
			// $extra is used as a conditional for the arcade_main_games_bit template
			$extra = 1;
		}
		if (strlen($game['username'])>12) {
			$game['username'] = "<font size=1>".$game['username']."</font>";
		}
		if (($game['gamesettings'] & 1)&&($g >= $startingfrom && $g<$upperlimit)) {
			eval('$gamebits .= "' . fetch_template('arcade_main_games_bit') . '";');
			exec_switch_bg();
		}
		if ($game['gamesettings'] & 1) {
			$g++;
		}
		unset($extra);
	}

and replace with

	// Gets all of the games
    $gamebits .="<tr>";
	while ($game = $DB_site->fetch_array($result_allgames)) {
		$gamename = $game['shortname'];
		if ($gamecache["$game[shortname]"]) {
			$game = $gamecache["$game[shortname]"];
		} else {
		// the game has never had a score recorded
		// $extra is used as a conditional for the arcade_main_games_bit template
		$extra = 1;
		}
		if (($game['gamesettings'] & 1)&&($g >= $startingfrom && $g < $upperlimit)) {
                if(!(($g+1)%4))         $nextrow="</tr><tr>";
                   else     $nextrow="";
		eval('$gamebits .= "' . fetch_template('arcade_main_games_bit') . '";');
			exec_switch_bg();
        }
		if ($game['gamesettings'] & 1) {
			$g++;
		}
		unset($extra);
	}
    $gamebits .="</tr>";

Change your "arcade_main_games_bit" template to the attached.

And edit "arcade_main" template around $gamebits
to change every newrest colspan="4" to your number of columns

       
        <tr align="center"> 
          <td colspan="4"  class="thead">total games: $gamecount </td>
        </tr> 
        $gamebits
        <tr align="center"> 
          <td class="thead" colspan="4" align="left">

------------------
Thats all!

You can easy to make your own number of columns

Don't forget to edit number of games per page!

--------------------------------------------

Forget to say if you want to include info about the game size

you need to edit the game table in your DB

ALTER TABLE `games` ADD `filesize` INT( 10 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

and after new game instalation to use game_size.php

It's in arcade.php default option

Look for

	$perpage = 10;

a bit above my hack. I advice $perpage = 24 or 28 ....(numrows*4)
