Hi! I have no error message when I try to import zip file.

If I press tar import, I lost my all uploaded zip file.

Don't you get a Security Token error if a user edits their arcade setting from their control panel?

I had to make edits to fix that by adding the following to all the forms. <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

how to add it plz explain i have the same issue in arcade setting

[yahoooh]

ok fixed
it works perfect

[PinkLiquorice]

Is there anyway that I can change the settings so that someone has to post a certain amount per day not overall posts to be allowed access?

Thanks

Yes look in Usergroup Manager under Arcade Permissions.

[skhms]

Yes look in Usergroup Manager under Arcade Permissions.

Don't think there is a 'Minimum Average Posts Per Day' setting for usergroups.
There is for each game though.

My mistake, i didnt see "Per Day" :o

[sensimilla]

Works great for me since the very first release, now on vb 3.7 too.. I would never switch to ibproarcade as it has crappy design and was build for invision power board which is competition to vbulletin which is my love :D

[connkid25]

However, we have been looking at this message for way to long...

We'll be back with a new Arcade release for vBulletin 3.7. :) In the meantime, head over to vBulletin.org for downloads of past v3 Arcade releases.


Would be nice to hear something either way. If he doesnt plan on updating it, dont keep us in the dark and let someone else take it over. Its been months now with no word.

[MarkFoster]

This is the best online arcade ever!

[cdoyle]

I've been reading the last few pages of this thread, and it appears that this does work with 3.72?

Am I right on that?

We just upgraded from 3.5 to 3.72 and would love to have our arcade back. All our high scores etc will still be there right?

Are there people still making games for V3?

[Dan!]

Would this work for v3.7.1/2?

If so, I am happy to install :)

[Snookieboy]

I just thought I would add to this as a lot of people are asking the same question.

I have v3arcade installed on my board, which is running 3.7.2 and it works fine :)

While yes it seems that at the moment John hasnt updated v3arcade in a long time, its still the best arcade system in terms of professionalism. Yes, we could all go use ipb arcade as its updated more and has more games but with no disrespect meant to the author, it looks tacky. v3arcade is tidy and for that reason alone I intend to keep using it.

The only problem I am experiencing with v3Arcade with Vbulletin 3.7.x is that I am no longer able to fully import iB Games. I can import them so they appear in my arcade and are playable. But when it comes to submit the scores, nothing happens. The web browser acts like its loading a new page (score submission page) but nothing happens. I've tried this on both a live board, and also on a fresh install test board, same problem. I don't know if this problem has been solved already but if it was it would open up tons more games to v3arcade. I've tried searching with no luck. Just wondering if anyone else has had anymore luck? Perhaps I need to edit some files which I'm more than comfortable doing.

If anyone knows this solution, I would be in there debt :) Many thanks.

[skhms]

IBPro games submit scores to index.php.

So if you got a custom index.php file you must add code that handles the score submission.
There is posts that explains how somewhere around here, I'm to lazy to find it myself now.

If you have vBulletins original index.php I'm not sure... there should be a plugin at hook location 'forumhome_start' that takes care of it.

I use 3.7.2 and it works with IBPro games.

/SK

[Snookieboy]

Ahh that would be it, I have index.php renamed to forum.php on my installs, that would be the problem! vBadvanced has index.php on my main forum and on the fresh install I never renamed forum.php back to index.php.

Don't suppose I could beg you for your help in finding the fix? I'll go on a search marathon here also.

Many thanks!! :)

Edit:

On a test forum I renamed forum.php back to index.php and that enabled some of my iBPro games to work, a few didnt work but after searching around I found the compatibility pack you released, installed that and they all work perfectly. So many thanks for that :)

I assume I just need to find a way to add the hook "forumhome_start" to my vbAdvanced Portal page which is using index.php on my main site?

Cheers :)

[skhms]

I assume I just need to find a way to add the hook "forumhome_start" to my vbAdvanced Portal page which is using index.php on my main site?

I haven't tested this. But it might work just to add this in the new index.php

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumhome_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;

Just include it as early as possible but after this:
require_once('./global.php');

If it doesn't work I think you can just copy the code in the plugins at the 'forumhome_start' hook (the original and mine for v32 games) and use that code instead of the line above.

/SK

[Snookieboy]

Skhms, that worked perfectly! Games are now submitting their scores :)

Thank you so much for spending your time helping me out, its been really appreciated :)

My one final question is do you have any updates to your v32 plugin you released back in January? A couple of games like Super Mario Flash which are really popular with visitors, just report the score of zero. I know you said you don't guarantee it working, but if you have made any changes since then, it would be great if you could share, Id once again be in your debt :) Many thanks!

[skhms]

No problem, glad I could helped.

I haven't made any changes to the code since the original release.

I know that v32 games that are missing the file GAMENAME.txt in the arcade/gamedata/GAMENAME folder submits a score of zero.
You could try checking that. Maybe my v32 games installation add-on doesn't copy all the files correctly or something.
Or the game just isn't correctly converted...

[senaia]

I plan on using it with vbulletin 3.7.2

Any plans to contiune your work on this great mod?

Hi.

Can anyone tell me why I keep getting this error when I try to uninstall the product.
It has been happening for a while now.

well i have installed on 3.7.2 and it says that i do not have suffiant privilages lol plz help

[InsaneNutter]

Hey,

I’ve got a little problem with our arcade, when trying to delete a score using Internet Explorer 7 I get an error saying HTTP 500 Internal Server Error - The website cannot display the page. However if I try to delete the score using Firefox 3 it deletes fine with no internal server error.

Could anyone advise me on what could be causing this? I thought it might be the server configuration however there are no problems in Firefox so I’m thinking it’s more of a browser/arcade issue.

Thanks to anyone who can offer any help.

I have the same problem. All looks to be installed, I can select the games but for some reason there is no game, just the box with nothing in it where the game should be.. :confused:

Any ideas?

[Jaxel]

oops

[GrandHolyKing]

well i have installed on 3.7.2 and it says that i do not have suffiant privilages lol plz help
You need to create usergroup permissions for it. Access these in your admin panel.

[raviteja542]

dint work for me...my forum style got damaged because of this...thank god i had backed up my forum before the install

[shot2bits]

Install appears fine with me except the games dont work, just an empty box but looks like the code is installed fine.. Games just don't appear where they should in the box.

No response from anybody :(

[raviteja542]

does this work on vbulletin 3.7.2 board?

[Webnower]

Tested and confirmed working on 3.7.3 PL1.

[crkgb]

Have there been any official news from the author of the mod, as far as any future updates go?

This message was on the dev support for over 6 months already

[TheLastSuperman]

Seems like he does not care to offer additional games for it OR he is one of the types that will not release something until it is 100% the way they like it.

A switch to 3.7 from 3.6 does not take that long but since we ARE not him it's bad on our part to assume/speculate and spread rumors or accusations about not doing anything to open his site back up....

Use it or lose it until he supports it more.

It seems that only the originally installed games can participate in challenges. I installed a couple games and put a check mark in the game administration against the "Challenge Participation".

Yet I still only have the same original several games available for the challenge.

Any ideas?

Only v3Arcade games are listed at the New Challenge page.
I am guessing you have installed IBPro games.

I have explained how you can fix it with an edit of arcade.php earlier.

[crkgb]

Thank you very much. It fixed the issue.

I also have a general question/idea.

I don't know if such an addition to v3arcade exists but here is something to ponder on.

I understand that we already have the LEADERBOARD modification. But it only considers the titles.

It would be nice to eventually get something like a SCOREBOARD, where the overall performance of the player is considered. Games played. Tries, etc.

1 place - 10 points
2 place - 8 points
3 place - 6 points
4 place - 5 points
5 place - 4 points
6 place - 3 points
7 place - 2 points
8 place - 1 point

:D

In the v3Arcade settings I have it set up so that only the best result counts. it works for all the cases but when the same user gets the same score. Then there are 2 results for the same user listed.

I fixed it this way, see below.
Note that I don't really take any responsibility for this code. It might be some much better way to do it...

In arcade.php
Find this chunk of code:
// Time for the scores.
$scores = $db->query_read("SELECT arcade_sessions.*, user.username, user.arcadeoptions" . iif($vbulletin->options['distinctscores'], ", " . iif($game['isreverse']==1, 'MIN', 'MAX') . "(arcade_sessions.score) AS score") . " FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "arcade_sessions AS arcade_sessions
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (user.userid=arcade_sessions.userid)
WHERE arcade_sessions.valid=1 AND arcade_sessions.gameid=$game[gameid]
" . iif($vbulletin->options['distinctscores'], "GROUP BY arcade_sessions.userid") . "
ORDER BY score " . iif($game['isreverse']==1, 'ASC', 'DESC') . ", arcade_sessions.finish DESC
LIMIT " . $vbulletin->options['scoresperpage']);

if ($vbulletin->options['distinctscores'])
{
$scorecache = array();
while ($score = $db->fetch_array($scores))
{
$scorecache[] = "(arcade_sessions.score=$score[score] AND arcade_sessions.userid=$score[userid])";
}
$scorecache = implode(' OR ', $scorecache);

$scores = $db->query_read("SELECT arcade_sessions.*, user.username, user.arcadeoptions FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "arcade_sessions AS arcade_sessions

ORDER BY score " . iif($game['isreverse']==1, 'ASC', 'DESC') . ", arcade_sessions.finish DESC
LIMIT " . $vbulletin->options['scoresperpage']);
}


Replace it with this:
// Time for the scores.
// Replaced code for finding scores, so it won't show duplicates on players with the same score. /SK
$scores = $db->query_read( "SELECT arcade_sessions.*, user.username, user.arcadeoptions FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "arcade_sessions AS arcade_sessions

Where can i get games?
Any one ? ? ?

would this work with 3.7.3 too?

tabbed solution for Categories is good but it limits the number of categories you can have. Anybody ever faced the same problem? Is there an alternate solution for it?

After installing the below modifications (almost all for the exception of a few) the time spent in the Arcade feature - stopped working. Any ideas?

* v3arcade Alternative Layout
* v3arcade Game ImpEx System
* v3arcade reduce scores to keep arcade competetive
* v3arcade Add Game Category when you Mass Game Import
* v3 arcade High-score Champs on Forum Home
* v3 Arcade Challenges Champion
* v3 Arcade Tournament
* v3 Arcade Member Stats
* v3arcade Champs on Forum Home v2

[crkgb]

I hope support comes back to this modification... one day.

[skhms]

I'm not really sure what you mean with 'the time spent in the Arcade feature'.

I only know of the 'Length' column on the highscore list, that shows how long time you played.
If it's something with that you should know that it only works and shows on v3arcade games and not IBPro games.

If thats not it, then please explain a bit more...

[oldfan]

I just read through this whole thread looking for new games and all the long I had a shit load backed up on a cd. Anyone looking for games drop me a email supportATmetallifukincaDOTCOM.

Works on 3.8.0 and no tweaking was required.

It's just amazing how far ahead of it's time this mod was when it came out. I wonder what the original author would have come up with, was he to make this modification today.

I am a very happy person ho transferred from ibparcade to a v3arcade.

Though it is missing some features I would love to have.

I .e. Leader score board based on points system and the list of the games popularity based on the number played.

[kalleklorin]

The news/events list is only parsed at one place and it is the same code for all items.
So I can't really understand how this is possible.

Only reason I can see is that the phrase 'x_is_the_new_champion' has been changed after that first entry was made and that the parsing fails for some reason for the new phrase.

It's very puzzling. Do you know a way that we could remove that section (News & Events) or maybe a file should be uploaded again? It makes the arcade look very unpleasing. lol

You can of course always edit the 'arcade_main' template and remove that part.

Personally I would try and change the phrase I mention above and not use BB codes.
If bold text is a must use html instead.

I looked inside the "arcade_main" template and never found the phrase "x_is_the_new_champion" - If it is suppose to be in there, could that be causing some of my issues?

I can't figure out a way to physically edit the phrase either. (still new at all this)

[skhms]

That phrase is not used in the template, only in the code when the news event is saved to the database.

To edit a phrase use the Phrase Manager in the AdminCP. (Languages & Phrases => Phrase Manager)

Select the Phrase Type 'Arcade' and you will see all the phrases that v3 Arcade use.
Just browse through the pages and select edit on the phrase.

I haven't checked this to 100% but I think it's all you need to do.

In the template 'arcade_usersettings'.

Find this (should be the first line)
<form action="profile.php" method="post" id="profileform">

Below it just add the following:
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

IBPro games sends their scores to index.php
Normally this is handled in the hook forumhome_start.

If you have a custom index.php (lika a portal or something) you need to add that hook or the code in the hook.

Try adding the code in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1603169&postcount=3022) it has worked before.

Hi John and Everyone,

I run two Websites with vBulletin,

First site is running vBulletin 3.5.1 + v3 Arcade 1.0.6

Second Site is running vBulletin 3.7.4 Patch Level 1 + v3 Arcade 1.0.7

The problem I'm having is this.

On First Site a Golden Trophie appears next to a Users Name and you can click on the Trophie and list pops up, with the Normal vBulletin Options + Arcade Awards.

On Second Site The Golden Trophie is broken, the Arcade Awards list appears right below the users post, so you can imagine the thread will look long and ugly.

Now I noticed on my First website under plugins there is an entry called "Awards Plugin Postbit" that is not on my Second Site.

I understand Arcade v1.0.7 is a complete re-write but what should I do to fix this problem?

for now I have disabled the "Arcade Awards" from the Arcade Settings screen.. the 2nd Site has not gone live yet, so I have a bit of time to tinker and fix this.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank John for coding such an Awesome!!! System for vBulletin, I recommend anyone who thinks about installing it, because it just kicks it up a notch and makes your standard Forums so much better.

On my first website, my users love it and many spend alot of time in there, challenging each other etc..

Hello!

mayby this problem was posted before but I got problems with install it!
I follow the instructions that are in the text file.

So I go to Manage Products and than I try to upload the file from my computer!

I waiting very long and the only message I get is: "Importing Product, Please Wait..."

Can anybody help with this problems?

thanks in advance
I'm trying to install this in 3.6.12 and have the exact same problem.

"Importing Product, Please Wait..."

Then nothing :(

I've search through the posts here but couldn't find a solution/ Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Disregard. It took about 5 mins to import for some reason which made it look like it had hung. But it worked in the end.

[crkgb]

Will pay for a modification:

At the bottom of the v3arcade to create 4 columns with common heading - Arcade stats.
1. The most played games - # played
2. The most active players - # played
3. The Leaders board - # titles
4. Recently installed games

Please PM me if interested.

Amazing.
I offered to buy the rights to the script from him months ago but he never replied.

Can anyone confirm that this will work on 3.6.4? Thanks.

[kylek]

Todays question is does this work on 3.8.1? Scanned through some of the posts and haven't come across it yet.

[kylek]

Actually by trying it out it does work for 3.8.1.

Now I am looking for the podium hack for the arcade, anyone have a copy laying around?

Thanks!

[kylek]

And last question, does anyone know where I can change the color of the tab when you select a category? The style I use now gives a solid red tab and blocks out the letters.

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Mark.B]

I'll believe it when I see it.
Indeed...after all "we'll be back with a new version for 3.7" never amounted to anything....

Such a pity, John is such a talent with the arcade. But it's clear he doesn't have time to do it.

[KW802]

Such a pity, John is such a talent with the arcade. But it's clear he doesn't have time to do it.A different programmer, well known within the vB community, will be the projects new lead programmer. The current plan is to get the old "v3Arcade.com" site updated to vB 3.8.1 (already done), make any changes needed to the 1.0.7 version to be up & running with vB 3.8.x (already done, just some minor tweaks were needed), and then essentially start fresh with a new "Wish List" for the next version.

[KW802]

... and the v3Arcade.com (http://www.v3arcade.com) site has been re-opened. :)

[Phooey]

Awesome! Glad to hear it's in capable hands. I look forward to seeing what comes next.

[Reece^B]

Brill, I will take a look.

[midirtrider]

Im having an issue with the arcade no long allowing my members to submit their scores..
when they try it kicks them out of the arcade and back to the forum home???

any ideas?

[midirtrider]

anyone have a fix for this?
arcade works fine.. just when you try to submit the score it kicks you to the main forum page and does not save the score..

[KW802]

midirtrider, what version exactly are you using? This version of v3 Arcade is outdated and no longer support.

The current version, 1.1.1, can be found here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=205692).

The dedicated support site can be found here (http://www.v3arcade.com).

[midirtrider]

thanks KW.. Im using what ever version is the newest on this thread.. I just re downloaded it and re installed it all hoping it would make the fix.. but nope.. still the same..

thanks alot.. Will check those links out..

[SİMAR]

thanks man

[MichaelDance]

Could you make this arcade for the VB4.0 please as i would like to use this arcade as i know where to download more games.. Thank you in advance..

[KW802]

Could you make this arcade for the VB4.0 please as i would like to use this arcade as i know where to download more games.. Thank you in advance..It's being worked on. ;) For games, the current 2.0.0 version can use v3A games, IPB, IPB v32, and now Mochi games (thousands of available games!).

BTW: This is an old thread; the vB 3.8.x version of v3 Arcade can be found here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=205692) or at v3Arcade.com (http://www.v3arcade.com).

[Dave Hybrid]

Hello there, how can i globally edit arcade options for every user, i want to enable the email when high score beaten option for every one and disable challenges for everyone. Thanks.

[midirtrider]

I am having troubles with this porgram not registering high scores??

any fix for this?

when a high score is beat.. it simply says "your score will not be saved"

[Kurisu]

I have the option "Allow One Score Per User" set on yes. But when it's submitting a score after playing a game the user is redirected to the main arcade page with the error page saying server error. If the page is reloaded everything is normal and no server error.

Is there a solution to this? :(

Edit:
The problem only occurs if the user didn't beat his own score.

[punkd77]

pretty annoyed right now that I can find absolutely nothing to import my own flash games into the arcade system. I found one old Impex for Vbulletin 3, but looking at it, it's 100% not relevant to vb4. Anything like this exist or am I totally right and it's a scam to make you use only certain companies to flood your arcade with. Being a game developer and running this arcade system it's almost a slap in the face. Guess i'ts time to shop around and see what other Arcade systems let you implement your own games.
