Hey all,
After a week of intensive development, we're ready to release vBArcade v2.0.2 Alpha 2, available in both Lite and Pro versions. This update focuses on working towards feature parity, with "Friendly Challenge" tournaments working and steps taken towards full restoration of the Tournaments feature.
The mod should reach feature parity with the next feature update
This is still very much an Alpha quality modification. Some games may not work due to subtle differences in their scoring methods that need to be made compatible once I know of their existence. We very much need you to help us test the mod to ensure it's compatible, and that the features work as intended.
If you're uncomfortable with the notion of running Alpha quality software, I'd urge you to instead test this on a separate test site - without your help, the bugs won't get discovered or fixed!
