Warlock:

Did you CHMOD the arcade folder and all of the sub-folders within that one to 777?

I had this problem with the v3arcade games, but not with the ibproarcade games. The problem was that I forgot to CHMOD the gamedata sub-sub folders, which are in arcade->tar->gamedata and arcade->zip->gamedata.

If you just CHMOD the arcade folder ONLY, it won't work, you MUST make sure you CHMOD every single folder within the arcade folder and the folders you find inside those folders also.

Hope this helps, as I think it should since I had the same problem.

In your FTP interface (I use SmartFTP):

You should be able to right click the folders and choose CHMOD (or Properties), then change the permission to 777. Right click on every other folder within and choose CHMOD and change those to 777 also.

Looking for games for your ibproarcade? PM me for information!

Hi there

I use CPMS as my main index.php file too and i have added this code to it to save the scores of the arcade.

if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames"){
$_GET[act] = "Arcade";
$_GET['module'] = "arcade";
}
if($_POST['func'] == "storeScore"){
$_GET['do'] = "pnFStoreScore";
}
if($_POST['func'] == "saveGame"){
$_GET['do'] = "pnFSaveGame";
}
if($_POST['func'] == "loadGame"){
$_GET['do'] = "pnFLoadGame";
}
$act = $_GET[act];
$showuser= $_GET[showuser];
if($act == "Arcade") {
include "arcade.php";
exit();
}
if(!empty($showuser) && $showuser >= 1) {
$u = $showuser;
$_GET[u] = $showuser;
include "member.php";
exit();
}
Just put that at the top of the cmps index.php file under <?php
Then upload it and all should be fine
found IT....post #285 of this thread. thanks so much michael.

Is there anyway you can advance the pruning options a little more?

I would like to have a few more pruning options to chose from instead of the currently global options.


If user hasn't visited the site in X amount of days, their high scores are removed.
If user does not have X amount of posts in forums, their high scores are removed after X amount of (drop down menu) hours/days/months.


Anyone able to code something like this up?

These are the steps that I have followed:

1) Upload - (in the root directory of my ftp) - the arcade folder (I modify permissions CHMOD the /arcade directory and all its subfolders to 0777)

2) Upload in my ftp - (in /admincp folder) - this file: "arcade.php"

3) Upload in my ftp - (in /includes/xml ) - this files: "cpnav_arcade" and "product-ibproarcade"

4) Upload in my ftp - (in the root directory of my ftp) - this file: "arcade.php"

I don?t upload this files: "installer_de.php", "installer_en.php", "uninstaller.php"

Now, when I enter my admincp happens this:

MrZeropage said it'll be fixed. Also they need to use Firefox only for the tournaments.

cyberhypnotic
01-18-2006, 02:00 AM
I perfectly understand that. Personally, I prefer Firefox cause it's faster than IE. But honestly, if I have some members who prefer IE over Firefox and choose to not use Firefox, then isn't it unfair to those members who would like to play in the arcade and use IE?

I don't understand why this would be made that way to begin with, knowing that not all people use Firefox.

But apparently until it's fixed I'll have to deal with it. :ermm:

In tournament, the ladder doesn't move some players from 1st round onto the 2nd round.

member2 (this doesn't happen)
______|_____
|------------|
|------------|
member1 | member2 (wins)

Is there a way to fix that?

Also, my previous problem was fixed by using the v3arcade skin. Somehow, that is playable on IE and Firefox. I assume the problem lies in the arcade skin, as oppose to the v3arcade skin, not in the arcade php (tournament lines).

redundanthost: Get that file and use it. It's got a bunch of games, but not all of them. There are still more out there that can be used.

--------------------------

Anyone have any info about the tournament ladder not working properly??? Some members are not moving up to the 2nd round match after they already won the 1st round. It's not moving the loser up, it's just not moving the winner up.

EDIT - BoYagoob, I was thinking about it. Why would you want to turn people's PM's off with a master switch? Some members might want ot be notified about their high score being beaten.

For those who do not want to know, just tell them to turn it off in their preferences.

Hi MrZeropage

Any news on the players being able to join a tournament instead of the admin having to post in there forum to get people to say they want to play the tournament.

Would be nice to have it where the admin makes the tournament and the players then click join tournament.
This would make it easyer to have more tournaments on your arcade.

I might try and include this into the vbleague system so the vbleagu will be able to have arcade tournaments too.

Attention please


There was a small Bug in the Archive - everybody who downloaded v2.5.4+ before this posting should replace the /arcade.php (the one in forum's root) with the attached one or re-download the Archive and replace the /arcade.php with the one included there.

This now really fixes the Top3-Highscores, some Score-Display-Things and supports the new Multi-Language-Feature :)


I am sorry, but this will really help, so just update your /arcade.php right now :)

i don't know what you did to want us to change this file when i was playing then when i finished he redirect me to the front page with out saving score :ermm: the original arcade.php from the upgrade was working fine so what i will do is put back the upgrade one back..also there's no product.xml file to overwrite the old one in the zip :rolleyes:

The Product-XML-File is in the Archive, look in /includes/xml/-Folder :)

I guess you are using a Portal-System ? Then look the included Information for vbAdvanced (and other Portal-Systems) included in the Archive to make sure your Scores are recorded.
This has nothing to do with the arcade.php

They are updated when playing ecah Game :)

The "King of the Arcade" is based on the most "best Score of all Time", which is different to actual Highscores (for the Top3) if you make use of automatic Score-Pruning ...

There is a bug with the bests scores of all time. They disappeared !! And the solution of playing each game is not working. When I play a game my score is registred and added as the best of all time EVEN if I have done a better score before...

Here is a Workaround:

Then play one Game of your choice, save a score and *tadaaaa* all data for "best score of all time" is ok :)

Remeber (important!) to undo the changes, so open /arcade.php again, search for$newcreate = 5;and replace with$newcreate = 0;

*Installed and loving it :) my users thank you*

Having a few formatting isssues though....really trivial stuff....

like in the v3arcde skin, I can't get the latest score to display (its white on a white bg, when my font for alt1 is black) i've tried changing the alt around....no dice, and yet it fixed fine on the arcade skin when I changed/added alt1 to it.

Again, small issue for the word Arcade on the top bar:
Forum Home >> Arcade arcade appears white, when it should be black and bolded

Might just be me, I had the same problem with the previous version too...


and a question....where in which skin (or all three) would I need to change the "Welcome, $username" if I had a hack installed that affected that line of the template?

I'm still having a problem with the tournament ladder.

I wish SOMEONE would respond to this issue.

My member's names are not moving up to the next round. They do sometimes, but don't sometimes. I've yet to see a tournament finish on my forum.

Everything is where it should be on my server, everything is edited accordingly.

So, what's the deal? Why aren't my members move up on the ladder?

Another issue is that it moves them around. Like member1 vs member2 in match 1 and member3 vs member4 in match 2.

Member2 wins, but moves above member3 and member4. :ermm:

Also, is this updated version fixed for tournaments to be playable on IE?

CHEATING LOOPHOLE

Did you know, if you open two arcade games up in two browsers, playing both at the same time and submit a score on one, that it will score on the other, thus if you pick the right games to spoof you can get an impossible score.

Go into AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager and click the << >> button next to any style you need to customize.

Double click on the arcade_main template under Custom Templates and add $navbar2 where you want it to be.

Upgraded to 3.5.4 and always receive this message when trying to install an individual game :-
That seems like it's referring to the game Autobahn. The game may not work properly. I assume you downloaded the 600+ibproarcadegames file. Some of the games files are not scripted right. Actually only a few are not scripted right. Majority of those games are fine. You'll probably find a problem with Billy Hatcher also, if you have it.

Can't install zip of tar games either .. all was working fine until the upgrade :ermm:
Are you sure ALL folders in the arcade folder are CHMOD 777? Don't forget the gamedata folders that are in BOTH the tar and zip folders.

If you'd like for me to take a look at it, I can. But I'd need an Admin name on your forum and FTP access. You can PM the info to me, if you want my help. If you're concerned about if I'm legit in helping, you could always ask Reece_B, as I've helped him recently. I installed over 500 games on his forum for him. Now I think he's in love with me. :p

thanks for the hack, I tried to read most of the posts to find the answer to my question, but there was too many posts, so sorry if someone else has asked this question before.

I have vb 3.5.3 and v3 arcade, how do i install this new hack so i don't lose any games or scores?

cyberhypnotic
01-24-2006, 02:24 AM
If you read the very first post. The one from MrZeropage with the download link and all the listed information about the hack, you'd see this listed:

For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) there is no converter finished yet, but it is in development.

So, as you can see, you'll have to uninstall v3arcade, then install ibproarcade with a fresh new install and then reinstall the games. And you can't run both arcades because ibproarcade uses some of the same phrases that v3arcade uses, so your arcades would show up as a blank page. I know this because I gave it a try when I switched from v3arcade to ibproarcade.

I also want to add here that I object to v3arcade getting HOTM, when ibproarcade is way better than v3arcade. Even with the minimal bugs, it's better. A better layout, more goals like King of the Arcade, a better high scores ranking system, the tournament mode (has a few bugs being worked on) is way better than challenges on v3arcade, and then not to mention that ibproarcade has WAY more games than v3arcade. But adding them together, since you can install v3arcade games (via the zip folder/install option in AdminCP) you'll have a crazy amount of games. Something you can't do with v3arcade.

Of course, me objecting to v3arcade getting HOTM is only MY opinion, but it's the best way that I can make it known how much I enjoy this hack - aside from making a donation. :laugh:

If I download game from http://www.pnflashgames.com/UpDownload-index-req-viewdownload-cid-1.phtml and I try them to install comes given back the error to me: ZIP is not compatible. Install Failed

It's possible that they are .tar files. Which games are you trying to install with that error?

I've come across this problem already, so I'm sure I can give you some help.

Sometimes the zip file contains a text file instead of a PHP file. WinZip the game files and look at all the separate files that are in the zip. If you see something like pacman.txt let me know and I'll fix it and upload it to you, if possible.

Hi, I have two problems. Well, three actually.

1. The leaderboard keeps resetting itself and wiping clean every day.

2. The games are real small in the pop up windows.

3. Some games are not taking scores because it says "only high scores are recorded" even though the person DID get the highest score and I have it set in the admin panel to record every score. (This has only happened twice)


Any ideas? Great mod BTW. :) Thanks.

01-26-2006, 01:13 PM
Great mod. I have a couple of quick questions.

1.) I noticed that scores attained in a tournament do not seem to be credited towards a users high score, personal best etc. For example if I score higher in Asteroids in a tournament, my personal best etc, will still be whatever my highest score was "outside" of tournament mode. Just wanted to see if this was by design, or a bug.

2.) I am also having users logged out, and the resulting issues posting scores. I have upped my VB cookie timeout to hopefully help with some of this but wondered if there was anything else we could do? I realize I could open every game in a separate window and refresh my main forum window before submitting scores, but don't think thats something I want my users to do. Any thoughts on this?

Again, great mod, thanks for all your hard work.

[EDIT] I'm running VB3.53, VBAdvanced 2.0.0 and ibProArcade v2.5.4+

Is there any update to the game not showing up when a player trys to start the game in a tournament?
Are you using ibproarcade v. 2.5.3 or 2.5.4?

Are these users using Internet Explorer or Firefox?

Version 2.5.3 is moslty optimized for Firefox. So if a user uses Internet Explorer for tournaments, the games won't show up. Probably just a horizontal bar will show up instead of the game. If this is the case, then update to version 2.5.4.

For more support questions, I suggest posting here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=170).

If you have any other questions, I could possibly help you. I've gone through a few problems that others seem to be dealing with also. Just send me a PM and I'll do my best to try and help you out.

I'm trying to be a nice guy and field some questions so MrZeropage can try to have some more time to work on bugs, fixes, etc. for any future releases. ;)

I have a problem I hope someone can help.. I installed v3arcade.. then saw this one, I uninstalled v3m and installed this one..

well, v3 deleted the words in the usergroup manager but not the check boxes and when I go to change a permission i get an error, it says


MySQL Error : Unknown column 'arcadepermissions' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054



Any way to delete that query or add the right column, I am stupid when it comes to sql so if i need to add a column pleas give me detailed instructions..

Thanks..

SELECT c.*, g.gname, cat.password FROM games_champs AS c, games_list AS g, games_cats AS cat
WHERE (c.champ_gid=g.gid) AND (g.gcat=cat.c_id) AND trim(password)=''

It seems a lot of people are having this problem with the scores and being logged off when trying to submit the scores.

So is there anything more knows about these bugs?

MortysTW
01-27-2006, 10:17 AM
The only "logging out" issue I know about is non-arcade related. Tends to happen on my site if someone is playing a game that literally takes over 5 minutes to play. The games are all flash and therefore fully loaded onto the visitors PC so the "playing" of the game does not get noticed as "activity" by vbulletin so the user is auto-logged out of the site. When hitting SUBMIT SCORE when they complete the game, the forum realizes they aren't logged in and requests the login. The way people avoid this issue is by making sure they click the REMEMBER NEXT TIME box when they log into the site upon that visit.

To sum up my reply, I don't think the logging out is an arcade issue, its a "lack of activity" issue of the user. Same thing would happen if it took them 10 minutes to hit the SUBMIT button on a typical post after they had hit the REPLY button. (But this issue might not exist anymore due to AJAX, dunno.)

I have a completely different problem.....

When I first installed this last week, the champions were scrolling right to left above the join date in the members postbit. NOW, they are being listed vertically, rather than scrolling, which is vertically stretching out the postbit and it looks horrible!

Anyone know what might have changed to make it do that??

Upgrade to version 2.5.4. It has a fix for IE users. I had the same problem and what I did to fix it temporarily was make the default skin v3arcade. For some reason, IE users were able to play tournaments with it that way.

But download the new version 2.5.4, it has a few fixes in there. It also has a few bugs, so you'll have to read back about some of the tweaks you gotta make to the script(s).

@oloringandalf:
The footer-thing will be fixed in the next update to v2.5.4 still working on that thing


The footer thing wasn't completely fixed in the new release. It is still not showing.

There is another problem: When it saves the score, the timing the user played a particular game is wrong. It shows incorrect time. I believe it shows the time that the user played for the first time.

Also, when the users play some games (pacman in particular when the user gets more than 10,000) the user gets logged off from the forums. Because of that, sometimes it shows undefined person in the rankings with no avatar. So basically the score is saved for an undefined person because the person who played the game was kicked out and wasn't able to save.

Go into the arcade templates and comment that stuff out.

Or are you trying to make it with group permissions for visibility?

Are the tournaments real-time multiplayer? (like counter-strike) or are they individual and the scores are compared at the end.

MortysTW
02-03-2006, 11:09 PM
Individual scores are compared. But you get paired up against someone

So an 8 person tournament has 3 tiers. 1 on 1 is Tier 3, Tier 2 has 4 players of 1 on 1 from the winner of user1 & 2 against winner of user 3 & 4 and so forth. Tier 1 is the 1 on 1 to win Tournament. Again, best 2 out of 3 games. Best score wins.

Where's the mySQL error code? How many users do you normally get hitting your site/arcade? I had a zerg rush of users once in my arcade of close to 75 users, and it never had any database problems. Who's doing your database hosting? It's possible that the mySQL server can't handle large amounts of traffic. It's one of the many reasons no large companies use mySQL for their database solution.

NO larger companies use MySQL for their database solution? I'm not sure where you get your information, but nearly every single large host that I know of uses mySQL.

I don't have a large site, and there were only 3 people in the arcade when the database went down.

Anyway, the situation has been corrected and I may try this arcade again.

Not going to get into a database war here, I just know there's a reason why so many large companies choose Oracle or other commercial offerings over mySQL. If your hosting offered mySQL or Oracle, which would you take?

Anyways, good to see you got your problem solved. What was the issue?

LOL... there is no database war. I have no idea what Oracle is, as every single host I've checked into offers mySQL, so I wouldn't know anything about Oracle.

Actually my problem isn't solved.... I just tried to install this arcade again and my site crashed again. SO this is out for me.

Yeah, it's not a bad idea for hosting companies to offer mySQL to their customers. It's free and works for most of their customer's applications. Hell, I use it on my site for that very reason. I'd only go to a commercial solution if the traffic on my site got to the point where mySQL can't handle it anymore. Not that it would ever happen, but if it does, there's that option.

Can you post the full error message so we can help troubleshoot? I'm not sure what's going on, it might be a simple setup issue.

no idea... as I just tried to install the arcade again and my site crashed again. Obviously there's something about the arcade that's conflicting with my databases

I have a problem:

Files generated via a php script (un tar'n a file for example) are defaulting to the ownership "apache" on my server. However, I have set the ownership of all the files in my directories to "aceman.aceman" in my public_html folder (this includes all the arcade files).

Is there a way to configure the PHP.ini file to account for the ownership and maintain that when a script generates a file?

I realize this: PHP runs via your webserver and therefore has the same rights as your webserver. Since most webservers do not run with super-user status (root in Unix/Linux, or administrator in Windows) you will need to make sure the folders and files you want to edit allow the webserver write access.

Mine run fine.. but set the wrong ownership as (apache.apache) so I'm unable to remove files unless I login as ROOT to delete them.

Help please.

Why not run your webserver under your name? That's the easiest solution.
Edit: You could setup a virtual host directive which points to your webspace and use the "User" directive to run that virtual host under.

For example, if you're site was called www.foobar.com, and want it to run under user aceman, then you'd setup a virtual host like this:

<VirtualHost (ip address here)>
ServerAdmin webmaster@www.foobar.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/document/root
ServerName www.foobar.com
ErrorLog logs/www.foobar.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/www.foobar.com-access_log
User aceman
</VirtualHost>

That way the main server is still running under root or in your case apache and everything else for your website is handled by aceman.

Line 26 in arcade.php is:


if($_POST['sessdo'] == "sessionstart") {


Could be a register_globals issue. Do you have register_globals on or off?

Which version of PHP are you running?

Because then that would mess up the files in my area on the server. ;)

How so? If it had to write out a file, it would be created with your name and group, thus solving the issue that was presented above, correct?

Okay, something wierd today, the arcade seemed to have lost all the leaderboard scores. Leaderboard when clicked on only has two scores in it when there was tons of scores recorded. The highscore champions are working okay, just seemed to have lost all scores in leaderboard. Anyone else have this happen?

There's a fix for this somewhere buried deep in this thread, or over on the premium mods thread.

I swear, next time we upgrade our arcades, I'll keep a copy of all the after-the-fact fixes so I can help out.

Aceman, I had the same exact issue that I discovered about 2 weeks ago. And I discovered when messing with the arcade, but after further investigation, found out it had nothing to do with the arcade. Its the way your server is setup and so was mine.

Alright, its the way your server is setup and you need to have your Admin of your server correct this issue.

Have them log into your account with SSH and have them run the following command:

chown -R admin123:admin123 *

Admin123 being your account. This will run through ALL your files and straighten out your server so all permissions/ownership our yours and not Apache's. This issue tends to arise when the server is NOT in High Security mode. I can't help anymore than this cuz I didn't do it, I just know that's how they fixed it on my server. Discovered this issue when I was trying to back my site up to leave that server to go to a new host.

Good luck and hope that helps. Should be enough for you to give to your server admin and send them down the right road to fix this issue.

Keyword being YOUR account. Not the server, but your account on the server.
