The Arcade CP is Located Here:
http://thunderservices.net/Arcade/proxgb/arcadecp.php



Installation

Step 1:
Go to the following URL:
http://thunderservices.net/Arcade/proxgb/Registration.php

Fill out all the details. Make sure you remember everything, because it is very important.

Step 2
Return to your Board
Enter the Admin CP
Select on the list on the left "Board Wrappers"
Paste the following in the Javascript Box:
Quote:
 
<script>
function get(name) {
var q = unescape(location.search.substring(1)).split(/[=&]/);
for (var j=0; j<q.length; j+=2) {
if (q[j] == name) {
return q[j+1];
}
}
return null;
}
if (location.href.indexOf("act=Arcade") != -1) {
document.write('<base href="http://thunderservices.net/Arcade/proxgb/" />');
}
</script>


Paste the Following in the Header & Body Box, ABOVE <% BOARD %>:
Quote:
 

<script>
function getu()
{
var user = "Guest";
var valiusr = document.getElementById('userlinks').getElementsByTagName('TD')[0];

if(valiusr.innerHTML.match(/logged in as/i) != null){
if(valiusr.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName('A').length > 0){
user = valiusr.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName('A')[0].innerHTML;
} else {
user = valiusr.childNodes[0].innerHTML.split(/: /)[1];
}
}
return user
}
if (location.href.indexOf("act=Arcade") != -1) {
document.write('<div style="display:none">')
}
</script>


(Thanks to Chessnut for the improved Code)


Finally, paste the following BELOW <% BOARD %>

Quote:
 

<script>
var atitle = "Account Name";
var arcadeurl = "http://sSERVER #.invisionfree.com/FORUM NAME/index.php?act=Arcade";
</script>
<script src="http://www.thunderservices.net/Arcade/proxgb/arcade.js"></script>


Replace "Account Name" with the name you entered in step 1.
Replace "SERVER #" with the server # of your invisionfree board. The server number is the number right after the "s" or "z" in your URL.
For example:
s12.invisionfree.com/ThunderArcade/
The server from the above board would be 12.
Or:
z6.invisionfree.com/ThunderArcade/
The server above would be 6.

Replace "FORUM NAME" with the name of your board. In the above examples, the FORUM NAME would be "ThunderArcade".

Now hit "Edit Wrapper".

Congrats, you are finished. :)

Wow!

My current arcade (I think it's Arcade X) has way more games (and I am way too lazy to add), but Thunder Arcade 2.0 is way better (No offense Arcade X owners). Should I convert to this one??

*blink*

Thanks for posting this, my members are already enjoying it. However, it does seem a little removed from the forum itself, not even including a link back to it. I want to encourage more people to join my forum and particularly get them posting. Is there any way I can make this arcade more interactive with the forum itself? Specifically adding a link, but maybe even the logo.

Thanks

I love this code, it's obviously recommended for community-based forums or media forums. Arcades don't work well in forum services/resource forums IMO. Very enjoyable.

This worked great until I added another game (can't remember which one it was), suddenly the page started to stretch as soon as the arcade was launched.

Deleted the game from the arcade cp, but page stretching continued.

Restored Board Wrappers etc from pre arcade backup and all was fine.

Reinstalled arcade and page stretching returned, it stretches by approx 1cm every second.

the arcade will only show up if i change "Guest" (in red) to "member" or something.
