v3 Arcade for vBulletin
"v3 Arcade" is the premiere arcade system written specifically for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch - not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin it uses the product system for code modifications, and utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in version of v3 Arcade.
- Supports both v3 Arcade and iB games.
- Download *legal* free, premium and multiplayer games directly from v3arcade.com to your Arcade installation.
- Import script to convert your old v3 Arcade installation. (A script to import games, scores and news from old IBPro installations is available here, thanks to Tigga: http:IBPro Import Script - v3 Arcade Forums)
- AJAX based instant ratings, for simple to use game ratings.
- AJAX based inline score moderation.
- AJAX based instant game searching.
- Tabbed, customizable categories.
- Challenge system for one-on-one contests.
- User-permission based settings for email/PM notification, challenge settings.
- Streamlined viewing modes for users with lower resolutions.
- AJAX based quick stats, for viewing statistics by passing the cursor over a username.
- Mass import tools for importing games in bulk.
- Reverse and decimal based scoring.
- Arcade-only closure with customizable message.
- Per game criteria, allows you to control access to games by reputation, posts, registration length.
- Postbit based awards.
- Personalized recommendations for other games users might like, based on what they’re playing.
- Quick stats, letting a user know how many other scores are above and below theirs.
- Score ranking.
- Admin customizable “score feedbackâ€Â, displays a message based on how well as user has done.
- Numerous Admin CP settings to control things like popup opacity, maximum comment length, hover delay length, and numerous other behaviors.
- Full admin control over the types of content allowed in comments (BB code, HTML, smilies, etc.)
- Usergroup based access permissions.
- Fully phrased, for each translation into other languages.
- An ever growing collection of third party add-ons, thanks to Oblivion Knight.
- A slick, professional layout.
- Edit-free template updates!

1.1.0 - Bug fixes / code cleanup
- Fixed bug that affected sites that turned on the option to only record one score per user per game.
- Version 1.0.8 eliminated two hard-coded phrases. Version 1.0.9 accidentally reverted them back to being hard-coded. The phrases 'mode_minitaure' & 'mode_standard' have been restored.
- The option 'Enable Arcade Awards' introduced in 1.0.9 was meant to be a global on/off option for showing the award images. When turning the option off, a 'missing image' was being shown on some pages.
- Changed several phrases to say "award" instead of "trophy" since, starting with 1.0.9, you can display either trophies or the new unique crowns.
- New plugin to help with some instances of scores not being submitted.
- Additional code to handle some instances of scores not being submitted.
