ibProArcade is compatible to ibProArcade-Games (*wow* surprise!), v3arcade-Games and PNflashgames (Play Flash Games and Keep your High Scores, use POSTNUKE format).
PNflashgames does even offer Multiplayer-Games.
This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.
ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.
ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:
vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template
vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates
If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:
* For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
* For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
* For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.
