v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)

[Amaury]

Until an update is released for 4.2 you can follow these steps to set up the arcade navigation system. Shouldn't take any more than a few minutes to do.

1. Disable the plugin - Arcade Navbar Link
2. In the new Navigation Manager, create an Arcade Tab

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Arcade
Target URL: /arcade.php
Tab Script(s): arcade

3. Now we will create an Arcade Games Link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Arcade Games
Target URL: /arcade.php
Parent: Arcade

4. Next, we want to create a View Leaderboard link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: View Leaderboard
Target URL: /arcade.php?do=leaderboard
Parent: Arcade

5. Now, we need to create a Tournaments dropdown menu. In the Navigation Manager go back to the Arcade Tab we created in step 2 and from the dropdown box choose Add Menu

Product: v3 Arcade
Active: Yes
Title: Tournaments
Parent: Arcade

6. Now we can populate the dropdown menu, first up is Your Tournaments. In the Navigation Manager you should now see a record for Tournaments (Menu); select Add Link

Product: v3 Arcade
Active: Yes
Title: Your Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewyour
Parent: Tournaments

You now want to create the rest of the tournament links following the same steps but replacing the Title and Target URL as follows -

Title: Tournaments Awaiting Players
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewwaiting

Title: Active Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewactive

Title: Finished Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewfinished

Title: Start A Tournament
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=newtourmnt

7. Now, one final link to create for Edit Your Settings, in the Arcade (Tab) record select Add Link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Edit Your Arcade Settings
Target URL: /profile.php?do=editarcade
Parent: Arcade

I tried this, but when I try to view the links of steps 1-6, it gives me a no permission page.

I tried this, but when I try to view the links of steps 1-6, it gives me a no permission page.

You will need to set the permissions according to your setup, ie admin, guest, member etc in the Show Permission Name box.

For the AdminCP help
This determines which variable(s) in the vBulletin $show array will be used to decide if the element should be displayed. For instance 'member' means it will only display if $show['member'] is true. Multiple variables can be specified by joining them with a dot. All of them must then be true for the element to display.

Fixed it. I had tournaments disabled in the Arcade settings in the Admin CP. I had turned it off when I thought we had the same arcade, the one that had a security issue, that KHV had.

Yeah, that would cause a problem :D

Hello -

Where are the links to challenge someone? This was one of my favorite features of v3arcade, but I can't find it anywhere. I would have asked sooner, but I figured it would eventually jump out at me.

I was just playing some games at an ibpro arcade site, and they have have a nifty feature where a challenge link for each game. When you click it, it opens up a popup window where you can select users by username from a dropdown, or use a search box. I suppose there is something similar here, but I can't for the life of me find it.

I agree with you, the challenge feature is one of the best and unique part of v3 Arcade. Unfortunately, it is somewhat a hidden gem.

Firstly, challenges must be enabled globally. Then each user has the option of enabling/disabling challenges on a personal level. For those that have challenges enabled, the only way to actually challenge them to a game (in vB4) is via the arcade tab in their member profile.

[doubleclick]

wow! that is hidden!

Do you know if they have any plans to unhide this. or if a mod is in the works? I really like the way the method I showed you, that lets you choose your opponent from the droptdown. The only improvement I'd make to their presentation would be to have the challenge in the V3ARCADE_PLAY template, right below the plugin you made to "Add to Favorites". I think that would be the most likely spot for user activity. What do you think?

[dog-tag]

After upgrading to 4.2 my forum didn't load v3arcade.

Your above directions worked for me however I had some problems.

For example you said -

Title: Tournaments Awaiting Players
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewwaiting

Title: Active Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewactive

Title: Finished Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewfinished

Title: Start A Tournament
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=newtourmnt

I did everything 100% but nothing worked, just 404errors.

I then removed all the //// signs and it worked fine, and everything loaded up.
I know you understand the slash sign, but for some people it confuses us.


So the above example should have been -

Title: Tournaments Awaiting Players
Target URL: arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewwaiting

Title: Active Tournaments
Target URL: arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewactive

Title: Finished Tournaments
Target URL: arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewfinished

Title: Start A Tournament
Target URL: arcadetourmnt.php?do=newtourmnt

Note for all noobies, don't paste in the slash sign = remove all of these /


Thanks for this plugin again, it really is fantastic and my users genuinely love it, and have mentioned many many times how much fun they get from it :)

[doubleclick]

Well, I finally figured out how to move the challenge option out of the basement and somewhere easier to find. Not a rocket science solution, but here it is:

I pasted this into the postbit template:

<b><a href="arcade.php?do=newchallenge&userid={vb:raw post.userid}">Invite {vb:raw post.username} to play a game!</a></b>

Still hope sombody will make the link beside each game, so when a user is playing it, he/she has the option to select a user to challenge like I mentioned above. But making something that fancy is way beyond my abilities.

I believe the challenge link appears in more places in the vB3 version of the arcade but I think it was just a link in the postbit dropdown menu (similar to what you have posted above) and not within the actual game itself.

Do you know what version of IPB arcade and what version of IPB this was running on so I can take a look, it might give me some ideas.

[stangger5]

Very nice idea..:up:

I`ve worked on it for a day or two and this is what I`ve come up with..

Game Challenge from arcade main,, per game (http://www.next-level-arcade.com/arcade.php?do=gamechallenge&gameid=100)

Give it a try..:D

Choose your opponent from the drop down box.

After upgrade to 4.2 no one can submit scores, it takes them to the forum homepage. Any work around for this?

You may need to edit your index.php file

There is a conversion script in this thread - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?p=221023

The most up-to-date script is in the last post. If you are looking for support for it then I'd suggest posting your queries within that thread.

Quick update for the v3arcade_tournaments_forumhome template to eliminate the :0 :0 on forumhome for guests and also add the number of completed tournaments and a clickable link to them

Open v3arcade_tournaments_forumhome and replace everything with

<dl>
<dt>Tournaments Awaiting Players</dt>
<dd><a href="arcadetourmnt.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewwaiting">{vb:raw tourcounts.0}</a></dd>
<dt>Active Tournaments</dt>
<dd><a href="arcadetourmnt.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewactive">{vb:raw tourcounts.1}</a></dd>
<dt>Completed Tournaments</dt>
<dd><a href="arcadetourmnt.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewfinished">{vb:raw tourcounts.2}</a></dd>
</dl>

[doubleclick]

That's awesome stannger5! Thank you so much. I think this will generate a lot of activity in the arcade, since this makes it obvious you can play against people you know (or want to know) instead of against a scores.

Where can I get this code?

Is your leaderboard empty or do you have data (members with highscores) on it?

We just upgraded from vBulletin 3.6x to v4.2. If I install this newest version of Arcade 3, it will pick up all the old settings from our old Arcade 3 and let people pick up where they left off, right?

We just upgraded from vBulletin 3.6x to v4.2. If I install this newest version of Arcade 3, it will pick up all the old settings from our old Arcade 3 and let people pick up where they left off, right?

Yes, just upload the files for vB4.x to overwrite the existing files and then import the product - again overwriting the existing one.

A few things you will need to do is, manually add the navigation menu as the arcade hasn't been upgraded to be compatible with vb4.2 yet - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2333227&postcount=733

And if you are running vBAdvanced CMPS or vBulletin CMS you will may need to make a small edit to your index.php - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2334292&postcount=750

Thanks Gemma, you're brilliant! :)

[Datenpapst]

hey,
got a little problem here. I reinstalled my forum and then copied the database information for the arcade of my old board to the new board.
I removed all scores reuploaded all games etc but when someone finishes a game and the score should be added to the highscore list, the game jumps back to the forum home.

Why's that?

Installed! Everything works great, except that we've lost all the games we had. The only games available are the five that come with the Arcade. Where did all the old games go, and how do I get them back?

What version of the arcade were you upgrading from?

[dmm2020]

With 4.2 the menu system changed. Can someone tell me what items go into the main menu for this AND what files they point to? I can handle it from there. Thanks in advance.

[jderouen]

Gemma - I think it was the last one before compatibility came out for v4.

Gemma - I think it was the last one before compatibility came out for v4.

If you uploaded the new files and selected to overwrite when installing the product then the games and data should still be there. If you uninstalled the previous arcade before installing the new one then the database and data will have been removed.

If you want to PM me admin access to your site and database access I can have a look.

Upgraded to 4.2, everything *seems* to be working ... I'm sure someone will let me know if I missed something. ;)

Anyway, when I go to Admin CP >> v3 Arcade >> Import Games and click the [Browse MochiMedia.com games] button I get this error: XML Error: Empty document at Line 0.

Thanks a ton for any assistance.

Nah, I just explained poorly, tired sorry...
sigh some reason my screenshot won't link properly

I added it in my public profile, I know thats ghetto but I'm not sure what is the deal tonight, anyways what happens is that the arcade sub forums are over riding a forum sub forum , which the arcade sub forum should be there alone, its showing both over one another ... also when I select arcade forum and arcade is highlighted at the same time ...

So you can read what is under what is new, forums since 2 things are on top of one another. If you look at the pic I circled the area where it happens .

[Gemma]

Did you use the Navigation Manager to set up your links?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2333227&postcount=733

[Recon0303]

Until an update is released for 4.2 you can follow these steps to set up the arcade navigation system. Shouldn't take any more than a few minutes to do.

1. Disable the plugin - Arcade Navbar Link
2. In the new Navigation Manager, create an Arcade Tab

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Arcade
Target URL: /arcade.php
Tab Script(s): arcade

3. Now we will create an Arcade Games Link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Arcade Games
Target URL: /arcade.php
Parent: Arcade

4. Next, we want to create a View Leaderboard link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: View Leaderboard
Target URL: /arcade.php?do=leaderboard
Parent: Arcade

5. Now, we need to create a Tournaments dropdown menu. In the Navigation Manager go back to the Arcade Tab we created in step 2 and from the dropdown box choose Add Menu

Product: v3 Arcade
Active: Yes
Title: Tournaments
Parent: Arcade

6. Now we can populate the dropdown menu, first up is Your Tournaments. In the Navigation Manager you should now see a record for Tournaments (Menu); select Add Link

Product: v3 Arcade
Active: Yes
Title: Your Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewyour
Parent: Tournaments

You now want to create the rest of the tournament links following the same steps but replacing the Title and Target URL as follows -

Title: Tournaments Awaiting Players
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewwaiting

Title: Active Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewactive

Title: Finished Tournaments
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewfinished

Title: Start A Tournament
Target URL: /arcadetourmnt.php?do=newtourmnt

7. Now, one final link to create for Edit Your Settings, in the Arcade (Tab) record select Add Link

Active: Yes
Product: v3 Arcade
Title: Edit Your Arcade Settings
Target URL: /profile.php?do=editarcade
Parent: Arcade



I did all of this and double checked, I got rid of the nav bar like you said here, now its no longer over riding, but now the forum is still highlighted when in the Arcade tab, and the info from forum is there instead of the arcade nar bar stuff, like Tourment etc, I added all of them as seen here, but none of them show up.

I think what the issue is the forum is highlighting when I click arcade and the nav stuff from there is showing up over riding it, and I,m not sure why, I looked every where and even made more nav bars tabs and it does the same thing, any time I make a new nav bar tab, it high lights the forum tab even though I'm not clicking it, which is Odd.

[Gemma]

If you want to PM me temporary admin access to your site I'll take a quick look, sounds like a reference to forum or arcade is being made where it shouldn't be.

Hello -

A couple of quick questions.

1. Where is the code for the News, Arcade Champions, etc. I'd like to change the order in which they appear.

2. How can I display one of those blocks like the News and events in the forum sidebar?

3. Can you point me to some resources that would help me figure out how to display these arcade boxes in a column on existing pages outside the vbulletin folder?

2 and 3 - If you check the code in my CMS/Forum Sideblock add-on it may give you some ideas of what code is required to make the blocks; you basically need the database query to pull the information (usually found within either arcade.php or v3arcade_functions.php) and then generate a template to display it.

Also, when you install vB4.2 it automatically sets the What's New activity stream to your default page, you need to change that.

AdminCP > Settings > Navigation Manager >

Find 'Home' tab and in the 'edit' dropdown select Set Default and save the settings.

Should all work after that.

There is a SQLi vulnerability in the tournaments area, developer of this modification can Private Message me for more information. Had to un-install the modification.

[Gemma]

Installed! Everything works great, except that we've lost all the games we had. The only games available are the five that come with the Arcade. Where did all the old games go, and how do I get them back?

Should all be restored and working now :)

Works fine on 4.2!

Hello,my problem is:

I've made some posts about this a couple of pages back, you may need to edit your index.php file if you are running either vBulletin CMS or vBAdvanced CMPS and/or you may also need to set 'Forum' to default in the Navigation Manager instead of 'What's New'

Search back over the last 3 or 4 pages and you should find the answers you need :)

Been browsing online to find VBSEO Rewrite rules for vb3arcade and so far I ended up with this

'^arcade\.php$' => 'aviation-arcade/'
'^arcade\.php\?categoryid=0$' => 'arcade/category/random/'
'^arcade\.php\?categoryid=-1$' => 'arcade/category/all/'
'^arcade\.php\?categoryid=(\d+)$' => 'arcade/category/$1/'
'^arcade\.php\?do=play&gameid=(\d+)$' => 'arcade/game-$1/'
'^arcade\.php\?do=scores&gameid=(\d+)$' => 'arcade/game-$1/scores/"

Now is there anything I can add to that rule, so that I can show the game title instead of game-(whatever number is it)?

This was asked a few times over on the vBSEO forums and they said the core arcade files would need modified to support the rewrites.

Sadly, I don't think it was taken any further. Maybe someone on here has an idea of how to achieve this.

Hello -
I'm having some issues with the tournament system, which used to work fine.

If someone creates a tournament, The invitations are sent via pm as usual. the tournament shows up with the correct number of tiers, but with only the person who created the tournament shows. The other slots all say Empty Slot.

I just downloaded the new files and re-imported, allowing overwrite, thinking this was part of the latest vb upgrade issues, but it had no effect.

They don't automatically get entered into the tournament, they just get a PM inviting them to join - the PM link re-directs to the tournament page. They still have to sign up on the tournament page or the tournament awaiting players page - the only person automatically enetered into the tournament will be the tournament creator if they so choose to be included.

[doubleclick]

Thanks again Gemma.

So, if someone invites you to play a tournament.

You log into the forum, then:
1. Click Notifications, select Inbox
2. Click the subject line to open the message.
3. Click the "View Tournament Details" link in the message.
4. Arrive at the Tournament ladder page. At this point, the user, (and in this case me) have no idea what to do. Just a deadend.
5. Click randomly (or ask Gemma) until you click Tournaments Awaiting Players.
6. Click some more, or have an flash of insight and click "sign up". Hopefully, they signed up for the tournament that they were invited to, as there doesn't seem to be any connection here between the invite and the acceptance.

Is there anyway to reduce the clicks and to get to the point? Without an instruction manual, the users can get worn out by the time they figure out how to get on board.

How about something like this:
1. Click Notifications, select Inbox
2. Click the subject line to open the message.
3. Click the "Join Tournament" link in the message, which does the same thing as step #6 above? Or get fancy and have two links, with the second being decline invitation?

That shortens the rabbit trail by half, removes a dead end, reduces navigational ambiguity. Again, this is a great script, just looking for a way to keep the user moving forward in getting to play a tournament.

[Gemma]

In the PM you receive it should link to the tournament you are invited to; all you then need to do is click the sign up button (link) on the page.

I guess you could expand the PM text a little to say something like below by editing the notify_tournament_invite_message phrase.

{1} has invited you to participate in an arcade tournament.

Game: {2}
Tournament Title: {3}

You can review details of the tournament through the link below and register your participation by clicking on the 'Sign Up To this Tournament' link. If you don't wish to participate just ignore this message.

['url={4}/arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewtourmnt&tid={5}]View Tournament Details[/url]
['url={4}/arcadetourmnt.php?do=jointourmnt&&tid={5}]Sign Up To This Tournament[/url]You will need to remove the ' from the coded lines as it is only included to allow the code to show)

I did all of this and double checked, I got rid of the nav bar like you said here, now its no longer over riding, but now the forum is still highlighted when in the Arcade tab, and the info from forum is there instead of the arcade nar bar stuff, like Tourment etc, I added all of them as seen here, but none of them show up.

I think what the issue is the forum is highlighting when I click arcade and the nav stuff from there is showing up over riding it, and I,m not sure why, I looked every where and even made more nav bars tabs and it does the same thing, any time I make a new nav bar tab, it high lights the forum tab even though I'm not clicking it, which is Odd.

Hello Gemma,

I have exactly the same problem as Recon describet it.

Is there a solution for that?

Thank you.

[Gemma]

Can you show a screenshot of your navigation manager settings for the arcade tab(s)?

[vnairp11]

I am having a problem submitting the arcade scores, it just boots me back to the forum home page. I do not have an index.php my forum.php is my index.

[Amaury]

So I noticed if I'm viewing anything to do with tournaments, such as the Start a New Tournament page, it gives me an unknown location. Everything else, though, like the main arcade page and leaderboard, is Viewing Page Arcade like it should be.

Is there a way to fix this?

Also, is there a way to separate games? Currently, it says Viewing Page Arcade when playing games, but I would like it to be Playing Game [Game].

[rootsxrocks]

Gemma, could you tell me how to edit my template to correct a problem I have had since upgrading to 4.2 some how I ended up with over writing of the navbar in the arcade :o http://crackercoast.com/crackerchat/arcade.php

Well DUH I didn't see this before posting going to see if that is it :p

[Gemma]

That should fix your navigation problems.

I'm nothing to do with v3 Arcade now that it has moved to vBAdvanced (other than it is one of the pieces of arcade software I run), so you (and anyone else) would probably be better directing support questions to the vBAdvanced team - if I'm online and I see your post I'll try and answer it if I have an answer but folks may be better of asking on www.vbadvanced.com (http://www.vbadvanced.com) if they are looking for a quick or definite answer as I'm not online much just now.

[rootsxrocks]

Yeah but your always have the best answers :D

I didn't even know about the new navigation tool till I read your instructions , I put one up for my calendar too.

But when trying to install the xml file I get the error:-

Not seen this before, with any product so forgive me for dumb questions :)

Are you using the latest version of the arcade and is it the vB4.x version?
Have you had any difficulties installing other products?
Anything like mod_security installed on your server?

[topsoftware]

Hi thanks for your reply.

Yes I am using the latest version of arcade (v3_arcade_for_vbulletin_2_0_3A_(vb4)).

I have had no problems installing any other mod/theme etc.

As of yet there is no security mods employed.

But I did try the other arcade (ibProArcade2.7.2+) that installed and ran OK, i just do not like this version. I installed this after deleting all of the v3_arcade version.

Yes, they have, and the score of the challenge is displayed at the top of the "Recent Challenges" block.

When the other person tries to challenge me again, she gets "You've already challenged doubleclick to a game of Bloots.

Can you only challenge someone to a game once, or is a record not being updated?

I just checked the tables, and both the winnerid and loserid fields for the challenges still showning up were 0

Are the games set as high or low scoring? To check, go to

AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Manage Games and select any game where this problem occurs. Click to edit and scroll down to Use Reverse Scoring - Reverses the scores, so that the lowest numerical value is the highest score (YES/NO).

If it is set to YES then all the scores are set to lowest score wins. If this is the case then, this should fix your problem - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showpost.php?p=220804&postcount=2

Unfortunately each game is installed into the 'other' category. You then need to assign them into individual categories or by using the Mass Process Game Categories (AdminCP >v3 Arcade > Games Categories)

How can I have the games in boxes on the page as opposed to them being listed across a column and down the page game by game?You can't yet....but I'm working on this, just had some real-life stuff to deal with which has delayed me working on things.

Find:
require(INDEX_SCRIPT);

Above it add:
require_once('./includes/v3arcade_vbsuite_index_compatibility.php');

So that it looks like this:
require_once('./includes/v3arcade_vbsuite_index_compatibility.php');
require(INDEX_SCRIPT);

Save the file and upload it back on to your server.

Don't think that is related to v3 Arcade, looks like an issue with one of your styles.

That is caused by a modification, not anything to do with the arcade itself. Check you html markup in for each usergroup in the usergroup manager ; if you are using style="bold" trying using this format style='bold' etc - replace the " with ' in each instance.

Hi there,

I have had ibProArcade 2.7.2 installed on my forum for quite sometime but I was getting hacked a lot so I had to remove it from my forum. My members would love to have the arcade back but what are the chances of me being hacked again if I install this version?

Thanks for your time :)

You shouldn't have any security issues using v3 Arcade, I not heard of any sites being comprised through the arcade and unlike all ibProArcade all the code is code native to vBulletin which can only be a good thing.

You may want to check out the support forums on http://www.vbadvanced.com but as I mentioned I haven't seen anything relating to security.

[Lucyloo]

Thank you Gemma :)

Hello there,

I was wondering where i can find the free standard games for this. It is very hard to find anything as all the links point to threads in the vbarcade site http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/index.php which has only the message that it is part of vbadvanced now, but over there is no list of the free standard games only how to install them...
Please help

[Lucyloo]

I've installed this arcade but I'm unable to use it. I have posted on vBadvanced forum but no one seems to be replying to my posts regarding the problems I have.

[Gemma]

What problems are you having?

Sorry, just had a second stint in hospital so not really arounc much. And it looks like the guys on vbadvanced don't support their products anymore - support there has been poor for years but is now downright pathetic IMO

Let me know your problem(s)/errors and I'll get back to you ASAP

[Lucyloo]

Thank you Gemma and I hope you're feeling better :)

I have two problems:

Blank White Screen

I have just installed the v3 Arcade but the ibPro Games give a blank white screen when submitting the scores. I have done as suggested in your sticky "Problem Solving - Solutions To Common Errors" thread but I'm still having the same problem. Any help would be appreciated

Arcade Tab and Links

When I click on the Arcade tab it takes me to the arcade but the links that I have added in the Parent, "Arcade Games", "View Leaderboard" and "Your Arcade Settings" do not appear when the tab is clicked on. The links still show: News Posts, FAQ, Calendar, etc.

Is there something else I need to enable or disable please?

Thanks in advance for your help :)

are we talking about all game types or just a specific format - IPB, v3Arcade games (not that there are many of them about) or MochiMedia games?

Have you run any other arcade in the past that required you to edit files (for example index.php or htaccess) where code may still be left behind?

Disable the plugin - Arcade Navbar Link is the only plugin you need to disable

Have you made sure that the product used is inputted as v3 Arcade - some people had left this as vBulletin which caused problems.

There is a few posts between #842 and #854 in this thread where someone was having navigation problems, have you tried following the suggestions I posted there?

People are now using methods other than the default Navigation Manager, can you take a screenshot of your Navigation Manager links for v3 Arcade that are in the AdminCP for me?

It uses the same games as IPB Arcade, linking to those games isn't permitted on vbulletin.org so you'll need to do a Google search - something like IPB arcade games downloads should bring up some pages - and/or you can set your system up to use Mochi games from the http://mochimedia.com website and install the games directly from your admincp

[smarty101]

Thanks Gemma,

Support is so bad in there I don't understand.
I will have to hire someone to set it up for me I guess...

I have fixed the white screen and not saving scores by looking into one of the previous threads you suggested. It was altering the index.php file to include the line

"require_once('./includes/v3arcade_vbsuite_index_compatibility.php');"

As I wasn't running the CMS option in vBulletin, I didn't think I had to do it. But it seems necessary for anybody using vB4.

Thanks again for your help, it all seems to be working fine at the moment :)

Place it above require('forum.php');

So it should look like this:
require_once('./includes/v3arcade_vbsuite_index_compatibility.php');
require('forum.php');

You might want to edit out your licence number from the post you made above :)

[tele955848]

it works thank you, it was the index.php (I was blind not seen it)

Vielen Dank

[Subieforums]

Can I upload game zip files to my server and do a mass install? I see the ibpro lets you do it with .tar files.

Thanks!

Uses the same games as ibpro. Upload the tar files to your admincp/games folder and install via your vbulletin admincp

[Bob_R]

Here's a PM I received from a member:

I just played Bang, House of Chocolates, and Rollercoaster Creator, and when it came time to submit my score, none of the games saved my score even though I beat my own high score. Instead it took me back to the main forums page.

How do I fix this?

Thanks.

[Bob_R]

Did you do the index.php edit?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2367108&postcount=868

Place it above require('forum.php');

So it should look like this:
require_once('./includes/v3arcade_vbsuite_index_compatibility.php');
require('forum.php');

Which one? index.php or forum.php

And, which index.php? I have 2. One in forum root, one in forum directory.

Not really sure why you have two index.php files, can you post the contents of them (in Code BBcode tags and without any licence info) if you don't mind?

[Gemma]

Since one of the index.php files is much older than the other (version 4.0.2 and the other is the newer 4.2.0pl2), I'll assume you should only be using the newer one.

Replace:
require('forum.php');

With:
require_once('./includes/v3arcade_vbsuite_index_compatibility.php');
require('forum.php');

Save and upload the index.php. See if that solves your scoring issues.

[Bob_R]

I hope I explain this correctly.

The index in my forum directory is actually my forum.php renamed to index.php becuase I have vBseo and I wish not to have double forums/forum in my URL.

What now?

[Bob_R]

Ironically the member who notified me of high scores not being recorded was indeed able to record high scores last night without me ever changing the files. :eek:

How could that be?

You could still run into problems with scores but you may get away with it, I've not come across anyone who has renamed their forum.php to index.php

This is how game scoring works. The v3 Arcade formatted games (that come with a fresh install of v3 Arcade) and the Mochi "bridge" (to allow sites to save Mochi scores locally) post back to the arcade.php script so you shouldn't have any problems using either of those type of games. However, IPB games require the index.php file to 'report' games scores to and the compatibility the hook "forumhome_start" is used to execute the code (earlier code I posted).

You may get away without any scoring issues.

[snow2000]

For some reason I can not write at vbadvanced.com: you do not have permission to access this page Why is that?

How can I delete all installed games in one step?

[Gemma]

No idea, you would need to contact vBAdvanced owners to find out why.

How can I delete all installed games in one step?

Can't be done in one step.

You'd need to at the very least empty the v3arcade_games and v3arcade_sessions tables in your database (depending on what you are planning on doing you may want to empty the other v3arcade_ tables too) then you would delete the contents of your 'arcade', 'games' and 'images/arcade' folders via FTP.

[Recon0303]

I can't seem to get any support on this mod on the main forum at all, so this is my last try before I uninstall it.

For some reason in the RSS feed to shows High scores which is great , but the first person to get a High score on one game , was able to, but now when someone beats the score it does not replace it with the new person.

Any help would be great Thanks in advance. 4.2 Suite CMS, I do have Regular Vbulletin.

[Gemma]

Does it give you any error messages when the new highscore is achieved?

Does the new score show in the game's scoring list?

Does it happen with all game types or just one - v3 arcade games, mochi or IPB?

Did you make the edit required to your index.php file for running vbulletin CMS?

Have the highscores ever recorded properly?

[Recon0303]

Does it give you any error messages when the new highscore is achieved? No

Does the new score show in the game's scoring list? In the RSS Feed Yes works fine

Does it happen with all game types or just one - v3 arcade games, mochi or IPB? One game shows one person the first person ever to play as the high score never changes, other games nothing shows up, no award given etc, one game it gave him an award as well, but if someone beats his high score nothing.

Did you make the edit required to your index.php file for running vbulletin CMS? I was looking for any edits, can you link me the post that is required so I can make sure please? This is prolly the issue. But need teh corrects edits please.

Have the highscores ever recorded properly? No never since day 1. Had it a few months but been busy with other stuff, and was waiting for a reply from the main site and got one but they never replied back when I answered them..

[Gemma]

Open your index.php file and do the edit in this post - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2376168&postcount=900

Also, I've amended this file; extract the archive and upload the v3arcade_index_compatibility.php file to your includes folder overwriting the existing file.

Then go to AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Maintenance and run the Rebuild Game Scores and Rebuild Awards & High Score Cache tools.

See if that helps.

[Recon0303]

What is the problem with your leaderboard?

[Recon0303]

it doesn't work at all, I get an error and I never seen any show up, I did add the link like one someone showed me on these forums awhile back.

Oh I just got a member of my community saying all the new games from mochi they get a page not found when they try and keep a high score now..

The games that came with vbulletin work fine now .. but I ADDED about 200 games, from mochi last night, none of them keep a high score.

[Gemma]

Did you upload the crossdomain.xml file in the v3arcade.zip archive to your site root? (ie www.yourdomain.crossdomain.xml)

[Recon0303]

No I have not let me try that adding that xml to the root.

[Recon0303]

not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I get this, I added that file, but should it be in the root VB, or arcade part of the root. Want to be sure. I will PM you an account to look.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2333227&postcount=733

As for the crossdomain.xml file - it goes in your site root

[Recon0303]

it is in the root, its still not working, and thats how you guys told me to set it up, so what is the correct way..because a few months back when I TRIED to get some help they send me that...

[Recon0303]

I fixed the leaderboard the URL was messed up. Thanks Did you try and play a game, I get that error that I stated, and none of the game have disabled High scores I checked them all as well.

The crossdomain.xml is not in your site root.

It should be www.yourdomain.com/crossdomain.xml not www.yoursite.com/folder/crossdomain.xml - you should also have a html verification file from MochiMedia in your site root?

[Recon0303]

It is in my root..... thats why I asked you where it went, I added to my root and it added it else where so , I see it doesn't go there, because I uploaded right to my root folder as I have the mod and other mods...

[Recon0303]

The way I have it set up is a little different , but anyways its there now but I can't add some stuff directly to my root I have to manually add certain things , because if I don't it will add a folder first then it, thats why i asked, sorry I should of been more clear.

It is there now.

[Recon0303]

nm yes I have the Mochi HTML file in my root .

[Recon0303]

okies give me a few days or less I will pm it to you Thanks alot.

[theoutlawed]

I've set this up on 2 forums I admin over the past few days and am noticing the same error as many when it goes to save score in Mochi games, gets the permission error, and dumped out of arcade. Standard games like Asteroids and IPB stuff I've seen no issues.

What I have come to the conclusion for at least on my end, and my installs, is that this is happening for Mac / Safari users (aka me) but when I test on my Windows laptop in IE/Firefox it works flawlessly.

Has anyone else experienced errors with Safari, and found any workarounds? Did a little net searching with no luck and found nothing to help here or at the vba support forums.

[Gemma]

Did you go through all the process of verifying your site on Mochimedia.com; uploading the html file or using the verifying code. Enter your Publisher ID etc and upload the crossdomain.xml to your site root?

Do Mochi games score for players using Windows and IE/FF etc?

If you play Mochi games on another site with v3 Arcade or on Mochimedia do the scores submit using your Mac/Safari set up?

I've no real experience of using Mac's and I'm no longer running v3 Arcade so you might be better off trying to contact the developer on vBAdvanced.com or on here.

But being honest, production, development and support has stopped since it moved to vbAdvanced

[Nirjonadda]

Import Games Does Not work,when Start to Mochi - Game Import (Local) get this error,how to fix this error?

Did you make your admincp/games folder writeable? And did you enter the correct url into the settings page on Mochi under the Auto Post Settings?

Also, you've not renamed your admincp to something else have you?

[Nirjonadda]

Thanks !This issue fixed ! can you give me link where i can get many more game for Import ? without Mochimedia.com ! Mochimedia.com is advertisers when start to game wait 10 sec !

[Gemma]

I'll send you a PM about game sites.

[theoutlawed]

Yes.

Do Mochi games score for players using Windows and IE/FF etc?

Yes. Safari seems to be the one not currently working. I swap over to my PC laptop and IE/FF work fine.

If you play Mochi games on another site with v3 Arcade or on Mochimedia do the scores submit using your Mac/Safari set up?

Not on either of my installs, I'll test that right now. I've been using Billy Bob Bash as a test since it works on my laptop, not on the Mac/Safari.. It DOES seem to save when on the MochiMedia site directly when I'm logged in with my account there.

I've no real experience of using Mac's and I'm no longer running v3 Arcade so you might be better off trying to contact the developer on vBAdvanced.com or on here.

LOL Realized that when I signed up to your arcade site to test :)

But being honest, production, development and support has stopped since it moved to vbAdvanced

Yeah after I started poking around I noticed that it's been pretty defunct. I'll keep trying to get it up for a while and if it persists to be an issue I'll either dump it or find a suitable replacement (vbArcade).. Always a shame when a dead mod is up still and you sink in the hours to later realize you might need to re-do the effort lol.

[Gemma]

@theoutlawed

What are the contents of your crossdomain.xml file. There might be some extra rules you can add?

Also, if you want to try out Mochi games on my site to see if they submit, let me know and I'll bump your account up to full member so you can try.

[Gemma]

Anyone having problems with IPB games not saving scores, download the attachment I've added to this post, extract the file and upload the v3arcade_index_compatibility.php file to your includes folder - overwriting the existing file.

Anyone receiving this error when importing Mochi games, Fatal error: Must set URL with set_option(VURL_URL, $url) in [path]/includes/class_vurl.php open your class_vurl.php file and find:

if (empty($this->options[VURL_URL]))
{
trigger_error('Must set URL with set_option(VURL_URL, $url)', E_USER_ERROR);
}Either delete that code or comment it out and re-upload the file.

[Amaury]

Is there a way to increase the width of Logged in as box so the user's avatar fits in it?

I'm fairly sure (haven't checked) avatars for Registered Users fit since they're 100 x 100, but all staff have 200 x 200.

I'm back to using dual arcades. :D

@Amaury25

Open the v3ARCADE_MAIN template and find:
<div style="float: <vb:if condition="$vboptions['fliparcade']">left<vb:else />right</vb:if>; width: 200px">

Change that to:
<div style="float: <vb:if condition="$vboptions['fliparcade']">left<vb:else />right</vb:if>; width: 250px">

Next find:
<div style="margin-<vb:if condition="$vboptions['fliparcade']">left<vb:else />right</vb:if>: 210px">

Change that to:
<div style="margin-<vb:if condition="$vboptions['fliparcade']">left<vb:else />right</vb:if>: 280px">

You might need to play about with the 250 and 280 values but that should widen the sidebar.

Also, round about post #47 there is some discussion about resizing avatars (if needed)

Amen and thanks for that too!!!

Uploading the file in the attachment in post #934, overwriting the existing one, should fix your problem with highscores only saving when the game is played for the first time which I seen you posted about on vBAdvanced.

[vivapotenza]

Installed, and working great!

where can i get more games that allow me to save highscores (not Mochi ones).

IVe got some games here which installed and ran ok, but when the game was complete it redirected me to the forum home instead of letting me save any scores, so ive removed them again for now?

[Gemma]

Google will help you find games - search for IPB Arcade games download - sorry you can't list games sites on here.

Highscores not saving could be due to numerous things.......

1. Games aren't highscore compatible - IPB, v3 Arcade or Mochi Games
2. You are running either vB CMS or vBAdvanced CMPS and need to make an edit to your index.php (it is mentioned any times in this thread)
3. You have a htaccess file with rules in it that 'bypass' your index.php
4. You have disabled the Arcade Forumhome Info & Index Compatibility plugin

The most common issue is running a portal and not editing your index.php

[doubleclick]

My forum isn't sending out emails to notify people when they have been challenged.


Email notifications for received private messages, new posts in subscribed threads, and forums go out.
In v3arcade default user settings, all are set to yes
Just in case, I ran the Set Challenge Permissions for All


Where else should I look to troubleshoot this?

thanks,
bw

[Gemma]

The 'Default User Settings' function will only work for newly registered members, it won't work for members who are already registered.

Are the arcade settings set to accept notification by email in the UserCP?

I've not had any problems with email notifications for beaten scores, tournaments or challenges and cannot reproduce any error of non-delivered email notifications.

edit: YOu would need to get the users to updated their settings manually, or if you want everyone to be notified by email (or PM) you could probably do a database query.

[doubleclick]

Hi Gemma

I installed v3 after most of my members were already here, so if the initial default is to have no notifications, and there is no way to change that globally then I guess the database query is the only option. Maybe in a future upgrade it could be set the same way that admins can globally change the challenge permissions to force all members to allow challenges initially. Just a thought.

Back here in the present, though, I tried looking through the database to find the table that holds the settings so I could run the query as you suggested, and can't find the one that holds these settings. Do you happen to know which table these settings reside?

Thanks

That is something you would need to ask the developers about. Due to the lack of activity from Brian I am unsure whether we will ever see an update of the arcade

I'm assuming there is settings stored in the database. I'll have a look later and let you know

[Gemma]

Ok, some super-crazy combinations here. I've not worked them all out and I'd advise you to probably set everything to YES then let your members switch off as desired. Here are the queries I managed to determine.

Everything to YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '1023'

Allow Challenges set to YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '1'

Allow Challenges and Auto-Accept set to YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '3'

Allow Challenges, Auto Accept, Email Notification and Tournament Events

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '519'

Allow Challenges, Auto Accept, Use Email, Use PM and Tournament Events

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '527'

Allow Challenges, Auto Accept, Use Email, Use PM, High Score Beaten, When Challenged and Tournament Events

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '575'

Everything EXCEPT Email Notifications Set To YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '1019'

[doubleclick]

wow. thank you for the extensive work. I'll run that today.

I am unsure whether we will ever see an update of the arcade

So has vbAdvanced dropped this mod? If there are no updates, then vb5 will essentially kill it off. Not good news for us Arcade Junkies!

Thanks again for going the extra mile to create that query. It is a big help in getting things hopping again with the games.

[Hostboard]

That is something you would need to ask the developers about. Due to the lack of activity from Brian I am unsure whether we will ever see an update of the arcade

This and Current Version: 2.0.3 (Released 06-08-2011) nailed the coffin shut for me... Unfortunately will be porting to another developers arcade with whom I seem to be running more and more of their software....

[Gemma]

So has vbAdvanced dropped this mod? If there are no updates, then vb5 will essentially kill it off. Not good news for us Arcade Junkies!

I've no idea what vB Advanced plans are for the arcade or their own products, this is just my opinion but it doesn't look very promising. The lack of activity on their site is worrying. The arcade should have been updated when vB 4.2 came out to address the navigation changes and there are bugs in the system that need fixed. There are individual posts here that will fix everything but it really should all be working out of the box.

Saying that though - this, again in my opinion, is still the best and most stable arcade system.........it just lacks the required support which leaves a cloud over future production.

[trackpads]

I agree with Gemma. It is a good system and the only one that will play Mochi Games. Which completely removes the effort of finding legal arcade games that users can play.

Thanks.

Thanks!!!!

DragonBytes vBArcade will play these as well.

Actually, the main reason I'm running two arcades is because DBT's wasn't stable - I had major issues with games scoring and playing over various browsers. But this isn't a thread for discussing other arcade systems so we'll stop there.

[Gemma]

Thanks!!!!

You're welcome :)

Hello Gemma -

As an fyi, I ran the queries you provided above. The email notifications and pms now both work. Thanks for coming up with that. I know it wasn't easy.

[Bob_R]

Is there a way to allow guests to view and play games but their scores will/would not be recorded?

[skol]

Guest scores won't submit by default..They have to be registered.

[Gemma]

Is there a way to allow guests to view and play games but their scores will/would not be recorded?

AdminCP > Usergroup Permissions > Unregistered / Not Logged In

Set 'Can View Arcade' and 'Can Play Arcade' to Yes.

Hi Gemma - Thanks for taking the time to help us VB4 users get the TAB to show up. I followed your instructions and the arcade tab now displays, but none of the links (Arcade Games, View Leaderboard, the Tournaments Menu and its sublinks: Your tournaments, etc...) show up.

When you have a moment can you have a look or maybe give me an idea what I'm doing wrong? www.mygrunge.com - Running VB 4.2

Cheers!

As I've said before, the Navigation Manager is a mess, a complete and utter shambles in design and implementation.

Can you post a screenshot of what your Navigation Manager setup looks like in the AdminCP (with the data you've added - to get all the added arcade data to show you may need to go into the arcade tab and click save, then all the settings should appear in the Navigation Manager index).

Or if you could set up a temporary admin account and send me details via PM I should be able to go in and see/fix any problems.

I wondered if someone could help me please? One of our members keeps getting this error message while playing in the Arcade.


you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system? If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Is this only happening to one of your members? And is it when trying to enter the arcade, play a game or submit scores?

Thanks again! I sent you a PM

Hi Gemma,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

We only have a few members who play in the arcade and it's happening to 3 of them at the moment. It happens each time they get a high score, sometimes they can submit it but more often than not they get the error message and can't submit the score.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

[Gemma]

Are you running vB4 or vB3 Lucyloo, I seen you had previously posted in the vB3 section - either way, doesn't really matter as I think both files are identical, can you upload the file in the attachment to your 'includes' folder overwriting the existing one.

includes => v3arcade_index_compatibility.php

And see if that solves the problem.

[Lucyloo]

Thank you Gemma :)

I'm running vB4, sorry if I posted in the wrong section originally. I'll give that a go and see if it works and I'll get back to you.

Thanks again.

[oldfan]

Quick question, where is everyone getting all these games?

Gemma that worked a treat, thank you very much :)

Hi again Gemma,

I've installed a couple of mochi games at http://www.mygrunge.com/arcade.php and they work fine to play, but the scores aren't posted to the forum

I have the crossdomain.xml in the root directory and disable high scores is set to NO

Any ideas?

You still have admin account at http://www.mygrunge.com if you have time to have a look

Cheers

Hiya John,

The games you have installed are not Leaderboard Enabled games. Only 'Leaderboard Enabled' games will submit scores irrespective of whether or not disable highscores is set to No.

If you are importing through your AdminCP then select Leaderboard Enabled from the dropdown in the Browse MochiMedia.com Games section; if you are importing from on the MochiMedia site either select Leaderboard Games as a search criteria or look out for the Leaderboard icon in search results.

Some game developers will disable highscores because they are trying to maximise traffic to their own site (ie they use MochiMedia as a way of promoting their work without adding all features (in this case scoring)) or they may only include it as a premium option.

*Also, very occasionally a developer may wrongly mark a game as Leaderboard Enabled when it actually isn't. This is very rare but if that happens the game may appear in searches or the AdminCP as 'Leaderboard Enabled' - but that isn't the case in this instance.

how do i refine which members can use the arcade

[Gemma]

You need to set the permissions for each user group. AdminCP > User groups - select the user group then set permissions for the arcade

Could you give address for demo? or screens?

Click on the 'Mochi Games Arcade' link in the navbar

[Vintum]

Sorry if these questions have already been answered. I may not have gone back far enough to find them due to time restrictions.
I have two things right now. First, the navbar in the arcade is sowing links from two different tabs. Is this possible to fix? It makes it very hard to figure out what I'm clicking on. It appears it might be showing both the links for Forum and Arcade, as both appear to be selected at the same time. I have attached a screenshot to show what I'm talking about.

Also, I would like to add that publisher bridge javascript provided by Mochi directly into my Homepage of the arcade. I want it to be displayed on the same page that users see when first entering the arcade. For me, I have it set to default to the "New" tab upon entering. However, I would also like for it to appear at the top of the page no matter what tab is being viewed. I would also like for it to be placed at the top of the page in activity stream. I am not very experienced at this yet, so any insight as to where I need to place the code would be awesome.

Noticed a bug, I think.

Usernames under News & Events and Arcade Champions don't update with username changes.

I temporarily removed the "member" from "Show permission name," but let me know if you can't view it.

This addon is amazing!

[BGObsession]

Without the ability to record high scores, the V3 Arcade is not worth installing (my opinion). It's a shame because the 3.8 compatible version WAS an amazing add-on. Unless someone is able to figure out how to correct the high score issue, I'll be looking for a different Arcade solution.
