Arcade Integration

[Trekkan]

I saw someone did this for another shoutbox and I'd like to see it added here.

Basically so that it were to announce new tournaments, when someone gets a high score, etc.

Integration with other mods is something we plan to do eventually, but we're hoping to focus more on additional features/content at the moment. Feel free to suggest other popular mods we should be pulling from though =)

Integrating with other mods depend on their ability to let us hook into them.
For instance: When you gain a high score in an Arcade game, it's impossible for vBShout to know this unless there's a hook in the Arcade system for that specific event.

Feel free to suggest as many mods as possible, we will work with any and all developer who wants our help, to allow us to integrate with their mod

If/When you consider the idea, check out this post: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1985948&postcount=5516

That's the code to do it with another shoutbox that a user of that shoutbox wrote. Doesn't look like it's using any hooks, etc. But maybe you could do an "unofficial" type of mod for it. Anyway, thanks for considering it!

Aha, file edits.
Yeah we could totally do that, but we prefer to not force users to edit files We'll try contacting addon authors first, then file edits second

Any (ggod) news on this?

Not something we've been looking into at the moment - currently working on a new project, then we'll go back over the others for updates =)

Is this integration or perhaps bit of code still being considered? I'd really like to see it work.

The existing arcade mods have very poor integration options, so it's unlikely we'll see it any time soon I'm afraid
