Yes, I took someone's suggestion to add in the <!-- vbPlaza stuff to help find any future modifications.

I do have a question about the integration with vBookie. I'm sorry that I didn't read through the entire other thread, but it's at about 3000 posts now. Anyway, does this product integrate with vBookie? Is there anything in particular I need to know to get this done?

Thanks,
Daniel

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Yes, if you installed vbPlaza, there is a vbookie_integration folder with steps to follow.

What type of trophy do they need to get to win points? Is it first place only?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Yes, its a "new champion" only. If they beat their old high score, they do not get points again.

[Ohiosweetheart]

I'll wait for the upgrade that includes IBPro arcade... I dont have V3 arcade

[movielist]

Is there somewhere we can see/change what the "new champion" receives in points?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Yes, under vbBux Settings, there's a setting the amount of points the new champion receives.

Do they get points if they regain their high score after losing it?

[movielist]

Also... would it be possible (maybe in the next version) to have it so that...

If a user buys an Arcade Pass (for free play) that this is somehow mentioned in the Arcade? The way it is now, it still says how much the game costs to play... this could lead to confusion as to whether the pass is working or not.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Yes, if they are NOT the current champion and win the championship again, they get points again. Which is how it should be because there's no point for them to beat someone else's high score if they already got points from getting first for that game once before and they would never try to beat someone else's score.

I have added this in for the next v1.5.3 release.

[Gizmo5h1t3]

also, something ive found really confusing is.....

theres no where that actually lets u know that you are being charged to play...i know it has the phrase under the game name on the arcade index....but when u click on a game, thats it...nothing....no further notification that you have been charged to play the game.......

either that, or ive got the settings incorrect in the admin cp....

theyre confusing to say the least...

i have mine set up, so a certain usergroup CAN access AND play in the arcade.....

how do i do the settings so even tho they have access, and therefore DONT need to buy the arcade access, they STILL have to pay to play a game??
thats the bit thats confusing....

on the whole tho, the usual stunning work with this hack

[moonclamp]

I've just noticed that when buying an arcade pass it doesn't give you the total price (tax etc) on the purchase page, it only gives the initial price on the main category page

[Cyricx]

One concern that I have about the points for a champion is I don't want to give the first time players as many points as someone who beat someone elses score..

Possible to add a code loop so that it checks to see if there was a champion before?

I'd hate to be dishin out a ton of points to someone just following my arcade admin along as he installs new games :P

[lairnoc]

now i have the latest vbPlaza and V3Arcade installed i encounter 2 problems

1.

Buying arcade acces for 1 week (old situation a user get member of arcadepermissions group and can play)

new situation a user buys acces through vbPlaza but does not get acces after purchasing maybe John has an idea?

2.

I want to prune all scores in v3arcade so people can make point for vbPlaza if they become champion.

[tei727]

I am so confused. I have vbplaza/vbBux installed on my site with all (i think/hope) of the addons. What is estore and ebux? is it something that works in conjunction with the vbplaza/vbbux? or is it completely seperate? any enlightenment you can give me would be much appreciated.. :)

Vbplaza / Vbux started out as eStore / eBux, CMX had to change the name due to a copyright problem.

Thanks!!! So any updates for one works for the other? In effect I have sStore/eBux installed when I have vbplaza installed?

[scorpio370]

OK, so I downloaded the Arcade, installed it, great, no problems works great!
I downloaded the vbux/vplaza and installed it, great, very easy to understand, the only problem I'm having is that when I click on the vstore link on the menu bar on my homepage, it tells me "Your usergroup does not have permission to purchase vbPlaza Options."
I have checked everything on permissions and made sure it was turned on, but can't seem to find anything else. Any ideas that may be able to help me?

Thanks in advance!

**edit**

Never mind. LOL, I found out where the settings were that I missed.

[scorpio370]

Ok, been trying things out since I got it working and now I have another problem that I can't figure out. When I click on the plaza and click give ribbon, it tells me
"The action you are trying to do is not found."
I have checked my settings for the plaza and all seems to be in order this time, but thought maybe I missed something. I did check the images to make sure they were there, and they are in place. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance again!

[cayote]

Is there a way to change the name from 'points' to something else? I've looked through the templates but I'm a bit new at this and can't figure it out.

Thanks

Nevermind, Found in another thread...thanks.

Never mind. A friend from another forum helped me out with this. It appears to be working fine now. :D

QUESTION::: exactly, how does the lottery work? is it a percentage? is it more like a raffle? i.e. if one person plays then they play against themselves?
