v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)

[KW802]

v3 Arcade is now a member of the vBadvanced family!

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47571

The support forums & data from v3Arcade.com have been merged into the vBadvanced.com site.



=================================
v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4.x.x
For vBulletin 3.x.x, please see here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=205692).
=================================

Please note... until v3Arcade.com is upgraded to vBulletin 4, some demo sites can be found here (http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3563). Also, because of styling changes introduced in vB 4.0.8 to allow customized user profile pages, this version requires 4.0.8+ to be installed.

"v3 Arcade" is the premiere arcade system written specifically for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch - not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin it uses the product system for code modifications & utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

Supports MochiAds (http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1934), v3 Arcade and IBPArcade games!

Edit-free template updates!
User ability to specify viewing resolution while playing games.v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4 also has some feature differences versus v3 Arcade for vBulletin 3. Currently that list includes....
The separate Arcade navbar has been replaced with the options being moved up to the standard vB navbar. Be sure to turn on the navbar link! (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade General Settings => Navbar Link Position)
When viewing a game categories other than the 'All' category, the category name will now be included in the navbar breadcrumbs.
Added a new template "v3arcade_postbit_userid_trophy_wrapper" to allow adding some HTML around the arcade award images in the postbit.
The category tabs shown on the main page will use the vB styling instead of their own defined styles. As we go forward the vB4 version of v3A will lose more & more of it's custom styling and instead use more of the new vB4 styling features elements.
New option to display a "New" game category tab that will display all games in newest to oldest order. In addition to the new tab a "New Games" link will also be shown in the vB "What's New" navbar link. (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade Homepage Settings => Display "New" Category Tab)=================================
Branding Free
=================================
All v3 Arcade installations carry and require a small "v3 Arcade" logo in the footer, as well as the text "Powered by v3 Arcade" which links to http:www.v3arcade.com (http://www.v3arcade.com/).

How do I go from ibProArcade for vBulletin, to V3 arcade for vBulletin? will there be an issue with the .tar files? will the new system adapt?

I am relatively new to this, but know enough to maintain a healthy board. I just don't want to mess my arcade up as it is now---it works!

NumberGuy,

Before you doing anything, make a backup copy of your vB database! That is always the first to be done before any type of update to your site.

After that follow the steps here (http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3001) carefully. The most important things to remember are (a) backups, backups, backups, and (b) not to uninstall your existing arcade until you are comfortable with how your new v3A installation is working.

For the .tar files question, do you mean installing new games or existing games? If you mean existing games then those .tar files unpacked during installation and the original .tar files remove. That's the way it works with both your existing arcade and v3A. Check the /games folder on your server and you can find the actual games files. As long as you do not uninstall or delete anything from your server then everything should be imported fine and, if need be, reverted back to your existing arcade.

[numberguy]

Thank-you, KW802!

Should I switch from ibProArcade - professional Arcade System for vBulletin, or go to v3 and why? If you don't mind me asking.

sorry, english is my second language.

That is not the easiest answer because everybody will have a different opinion on it. My opinion will be a bit biased because v3 Arcade is my project. But, with that said, a few things to consider would be...

- v3 Arcade has been designed from scratch to work with vBulletin; the other arcade was not.

- v3 Arcade has a dedicated support site; the other arcade does not.

- v3 Arcade has support for Mochi Media games, which can help bring in some revenue to your site and provides you with access to thousands of free games; the other arcade does not.

- v3 Arcade has a dedicated lead developer; the other arcade, at least at the present time, does not appear to.

- v3 Arcade is constantly adding new features and looking for ways to make integration with vBulletin easier (and hence why there are two separate versions for vB3 & vB4); the other arcade seems to rely mostly upon hacks & fixes submitted by users.


Again, though, that is just my own personal opinion. Some people love the other arcade and find no problems with it on their site.

[Trip3151]

v3 Arcade = Supported - own community - easy to install games - easy to install - no template changes


ibProArcade = Not supported - Issues with VB4 - poor support , heaps of template / tweaks changes to get it to work with VB4 saying that there is 1 guy that has been working out the fixes for VB4.

present day v3 Arcade is 100% yes to go with

Just my thoughts :)

Awesome work!

I get the security tokin is missing with an arcade score save - is there any code for the index.php?

Cory, thanks for reminding about that. :)

Because there is no corresponding plugin available for us to use to capture IPB scores in the CMS page, like there is in the forum home page, there is a file edit needed.

FAQ: IPB Scores Not Saving With vB4 Suite CMS (http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3215)


For vBadvanced CMPS users who have vBa CMPS as their home page and they have vBa CMPS in the same folder as vBulletin, you will also need to do an edit for saving IPB scores for the same reason as the CMS users (because the plugin available to use in the forum home page is not available to us in the vBa CMPS page).

FAQ: IPB Scores Not Saving With vBadvanced CMPS (http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3407)


Don't worry, we tried making it as simple as possible so it is just a one-line change.

[cory_booth]

Thanks! Yep, that did it and I must say - seems MUCH faster than the other.
Scores are saving where they didn't before - that's cool!

I was looking forward to this release as it will get my games in the right format for a "different" forum I have... :-)

[cory_booth]

OK...
So let me get the smack now if I missed the post on v3arcade...

But...
Are there any ready available php scripts for building a CMPS or PHP Widget for scores?

[cory_booth]

One issue...
I noticed I had to enable Tournaments to get permission to play a game.
I set all Arcade permissions to "yes" for admin - got No permission
I then saw the tournament and set all to "yes" and was allowed.

Strange I needed to enable tournaments for the aracde?

That is the big module (like what is shown on the front page of v3A.com) converted for vB4. That seems to the one most people wanted converted over. If you see any other 'arcade' related modules that you'd like to see converted over just point me in the direction. :)

There should be no relation between the tournament permissions and being able to play a game but there is always the chance that I was coding after midnight again. (Programmers are like mogwai; there are certain things they shouldn't do after midnight.).

Hi Just wondering if its possible to run v3arcade as well as ipbproarcade ? If so what steps would be needed to ensure no conflicts etc ?

[KW802]

Hi Just wondering if its possible to run v3arcade as well as ipbproarcade ? If so what steps would be needed to ensure no conflicts etc ?Out of the box, no, they would conflict since both platforms will end up trying to save scores being submitted. With the 2.0.0 v3A rewrite we went through and tried making sure that all of the v3A assets (templates, phrases, files, etc.) were uniquely prefixed. Some may have been missed but to date we have not gotten any feedback that are any remaining asset conflicts. So the short answer is... no known conflicts of assets but there are conflicts when trying to save scores because IPB can use IPB & v3A games and v3A can use v3A & IPB games (and Mochi games as well).

However it shouldn't be that hard to do something where both are installed and IPB is only used for one type of game (eg: IPB games) and v3A is used for other types of games (eg: v3A formatted games and Mochi games). It would be matter of renaming IPB's 'index.php' to something else, updating the IPB templates to point to the new name, turning off any IPB related plugins that are being used for v3A compatibility, use IPB for only IPB formatted games, installing v3A as normal, turn off v3A's plugins for IPB compatibility, and then use v3A only for v3A formatted games & Mochi games.

It is not something that I personally have done but I know others have. If you can reach him, "Mark.B" in the vB support forums might be able to give some pointers since he is doing this on his vB3 site. Check http://www.bowlandcentral.com/ and in the "Arcades" drop-down list the "Yellow Arcade" is v3 Arcade and the "Blue Arcade" is IPB.

I have hundreds of games that have an ".rar" file extension. I've looked over all the posts looking for any mention of how to install these games with the .rar extension...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A ".rar" file a compressed file, like ".zip" or ".tar" files. IPB games are typically packed as a .tar file and both v3 Arcade and IPB are able to uncompress them to extract & install the games.

My memory may be fuzzy but I don't recall IPB being able to work with a .rar file directly.

If you take a look inside of the .rar file (using something line WinRar), what is there? Just the game files (a .swf file and .gif files) or a .tar file? Are these IPB games or v3A games or something else?

[cory_booth]

Thanks...
After some serious hacking and slashing I was able to run this as a CMS Widget.

Starting to look real good!

One more permission error.

This time with playing a Mochi(sp) game.
Attempt to save uses the following:
http://xxx.com/arcade.php?sessdo=burn&mochigame=5173

This brings back a "you don't have access".
This is with an "Admin" account with everything on or Yes

You'll also want to make you aren't using an ad blocker (http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3325) in your browser since that'll block the communications to bounce & verify the score against the Mochi servers.

Mind posting the contents of the .php file (either here or v3A.com)? To give some insight, years ago games were being distributed with an installation .php script so that each game was installed manually one at a time via it's own script instead of as a batch import. The contents of the .php will tell us what we're dealing with (whether they are IPB formatted games or v3A formatted games and how they were expected to be installed).

100% agree. And I already switched from ibProArcade to v3 Arcade and loving it.

Thank you so much, keep it up man. :)

I have a suggestion, I see user can not see others scores on Tournament page, Is there any possibility to make it viewable for players and tournament creator? In ibproArcade everyone can see.

[Gemma]

Great to see this finally released on vb.org, well done Kevin and the v3arcade team for all your hard work and efforts :)

[Paul K]

Wow it's so awesome, 1 of the best detailed extended mods I've got on my forums!

Great job! Really!

--Edit-- does anyone know if it's possible to remove the ads out of the games from mochi media?

[cory_booth]

Is it all Mochi games or just one? If all Mochi games, then please check item #6 of the Mochi FAQ (http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1934).

You'll also want to make you aren't using an ad blocker (http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3325) in your browser since that'll block the communications to bounce & verify the score against the Mochi servers.

I will test it out and let you know... BTW, might it require the upload of crossdomain.xml to the forum root? I don't recall reading about that file, but realize it might be needed.

[cory_booth]

Yep, that was it... Needed to upload the crossdomain.xml file... Same game I had a problem with now works fine (and quickly I might add).

EXCELLENT! Nice to have such a major mod keep up with the times!

Couple of notes:
1st... This isn't my code...
2nd... I commented out the BB_Code parse for the "news" since I don't know the global call for the do_parse command.
3rd... I did some edits to the templates to make mine fit nicely on the side.

Is there a plugin/script to replace the trophy.gif icon in the users postbit with icons for each individual game?

[KW802]

Php content from another one of the games...
That one is going to a tougher nut to crack. Essentially that is a very old method of manually installing games one at a time (2004! :eek: ). There is no quick answer to that one. I'll try some local tests to see if we can at least get them usable for you somehow since as it is now those games won't install on any version of v3A past 2.0.0 (since the table names have changed).

I have a suggestion, I see user can not see others scores on Tournament page, Is there any possibility to make it viewable for players and tournament creator? In ibproArcade everyone can see.If you have an account over at v3Arcade.com, mind posting that in the suggestions forum over there? It's easier for me to track suggestions that way.

Great to see this finally released on vb.org, well done Kevin and the v3arcade team for all your hard work and efforts :)Actually, thank you, Gemma, for the help & feedback the past few months as we've worked on polishing the vB4 version. The feedback from yourself & others has been great.

--Edit-- does anyone know if it's possible to remove the ads out of the games from mochi media?You can't get rid of the ads because it would also means that you would be blocking the communications to the Mochi servers which verifies your scores. The ads from Mochi is the small price to pay for getting access to thousands for free games. :)

Yep, that was it... Needed to upload the crossdomain.xml file... Same game I had a problem with now works fine (and quickly I might add).

EXCELLENT! Nice to have such a major mod keep up with the times!
Glad to see you got it sorted! :cool: The next time I edit the first post I will include a pointer to the FAQ over at the v3A forums about getting Mochi integrated.

[KW802]

No need for a manual plugin or other manual edit. ;)

ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade General Settings => Enable Arcade Awards

You'll have your choice of showing either trophies, crowns (all the same color), multi-color crowns (random colored crowns), or the game's mini-icon.

Are you sure you downloaded the right version for the vBulletin you're using? The download drop-down has both vB3 & vB4 listed.

Yes I downloaded the one for 4.0.X

Where did you upload the crossdomain too? And what does it do? Do you know?

[K4GAP]

I need instructions for where and how to add games. What I really need is an "Install For Dummies" manual :)

Love this mod a lot better than IPB.

Upload crossdomain.xml to your site root

[Gemma]

I need instructions for where and how to add games. What I really need is an "Install For Dummies" manual :)

Love this mod a lot better than IPB.

Make sure your forumroot/admincp/games, forumroot/images/arcade and forumroot/games are CHMOD 777

If you want to install v3arcade type games (zip format) or IPB type games (tar format) upload the said files to your admincp/games folder. Then in AdminCP>v3Arcade>Import Games>

Choose the Mass Import option that coincides with what game type you uploaded and click Start.

If you are installing games manually (already converted but not in zip or tar format), go to AdminCP>v3Arcade>Import Games>Manually Add Game and fill in the details

For example-

The .swf gets uploaded to your games folder and the two images (one 20*20px and one 50*50px) get uploaded to your images/arcade folder.

Game Title: simple enough ie Pacman
Description: blah blah blah
Game System: you would need to know what type on conversion they were made for
Shortname: pacman
Game SWF File: ie pacman.swf
Height: varies per game
Width: as above
Standard Thumbnail Image: ie pacman1.jpg
Miniature Mode Thumbnail Image : ie pacman2.jpg
Then fill in the last couple of details.

For Mochi Games read through this post (parts 6 & 7) - http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1934

Once you have set up your Mochi account, you have access to thousands of games and the install process is as easy as clicking a few buttons :)

I just downloaded the one from here and same error. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Great mod.

On high score, is it possible to shrink player image to fit within column space?

Some player images are larger and ruin look.

This runs very fast and smooth. Thanks again.

Open the v3arcade_scorebit template and search for
<img src="{vb:raw score.useravatar}" align="{vb:stylevar left}" class="v3_gameicon" alt="" {vb:raw score.avdimensions}/>

Replace it with
<img src="{vb:raw score.useravatar}" align="{vb:stylevar left}" class="v3_gameicon" alt="" height="50"/>

You can change the 50 to whatever you want

One more issue on import of TAR games (from IPB).

I put all the TAR files in the right place and CHMOD'd folders to 777 as specificed.

Upon import, I get this error

It does this regardless of how many I try to import (1, 10 or 100).

Thoughts?

The avatar/user image under "LOGGED IN AS" is the one that is mis-sized (too large).

Would this be the code that also fixes that? I tried it and it doesnt seem to have an impact.

Thanks!

I dumped all the old games I had that were in .rar format and now have 300 V3 games that are in the .zip format. I put them in the FORUMROOT/admincp/games folder but when I try to import them I get message saying "There are no more games to import".

So, can anyone help?

[KW802]

@GaryT: Two major questions.... are you putting the zip files in that folder or the unzipped files? (See Gemma's post a few post back for game installation steps). The other thing is how old those files. The .php file should be a really small file with just a few variables in it; if it looks like the .php file that was posted earlier that was an actual install script then you'll have issues just like you would have with the .rar files.

Try editing your php.ini file settings to something like

max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

Or, if you don't have access to your php.ini file, temporarily up your limits by editing your includes/config.php file and add this lines right under the <?php line:

ini_set('memory_limit', 128 * 1024 * 1024);

You may need to change the 128 to 256 or 512

See if that helps

That worked perfectly with the number 512.

I have to say how great it is to get advice from someone who has a clue.

Couple of notes:
1st... This isn't my code...
2nd... I commented out the BB_Code parse for the "news" since I don't know the global call for the do_parse command.
3rd... I did some edits to the templates to make mine fit nicely on the side.

I would like to get this widget working, but the instructions arent that clear.

Can you elaborate about the XML file what to do with it?

Thanks

[K4GAP]

@GaryT: Two major questions.... are you putting the zip files in that folder or the unzipped files? (See Gemma's post a few post back for game installation steps). The other thing is how old those files. The .php file should be a really small file with just a few variables in it; if it looks like the .php file that was posted earlier that was an actual install script then you'll have issues just like you would have with the .rar files.

Yep that's it. The ,PHP file has basically the same content as the other .PHP file I posted.

Thanks

[Gemma]

Doctor Death you need to go through the xml file you downloaded from v3arcade and extract all the templates below

adv_portal_as_recent_gametable
adv_portal_as_played_gametable
adv_portal_as_popular_gametable
adv_portal_as_champbits
adv_portal_as_champstable
adv_portal_as_random
adv_portal_as_newsbits
adv_portal_as_newstable
adv_portal_as_scorebits
adv_portal_as_scoretable
adv_portal_arcadestats

The information you want for each template is between the [CDATA[ brackets

For example the adv_portal_arcadestats template would be extracted from the xml file by searching for the template

<adv_portal_arcadestats><![CDATA[<div>

<table align="center" width="100%">
<tr><td colspan="3">{vb:raw as_score_table}</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="3">{vb:raw as_news_table}</td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">
<table width = "100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="60%">{vb:raw as_random_table}</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top">{vb:raw as_champs_table}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">
<table width = "100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">{vb:raw as_recent_table}</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top">{vb:raw as_played_table}</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top">{vb:raw as_popular_table}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>]]></adv_portal_arcadestats>

Taking away the <template name> and CDATA opening and closing brackets it would look like this


<div>

<table align="center" width="100%">
<tr><td colspan="3">{vb:raw as_score_table}</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="3">{vb:raw as_news_table}</td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">
<table width = "100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="60%">{vb:raw as_random_table}</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top">{vb:raw as_champs_table}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">
<table width = "100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">{vb:raw as_recent_table}</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top">{vb:raw as_played_table}</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top">{vb:raw as_popular_table}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>

You would do that for all the templates I listed at the beginning, you would then go to you AdminCP>Style Manager and add each of the new templates, keeping the same template names as before

Save it, then go to AdminCP>vBulletinCMS>Layout Manager and add your new widget.

You can see the result on my site http://www.forumbanter.com

It took about 10 minutes. I still need to go back and edit the templates to make them fall in line with the changes introduced in vb4.0.8

If you have any problems let me know and I'll post up each individual template over on v3arcade.com but I'm off to bed now.

So, anyone have a collection of games yet? I have several hundred but they are out of date. Would it be wrong for members to trade games they have with other members?

I just need games, ever how I can get them :)

Have you set up an account at MochiMedia (http://www.mochimedia.com/)? Once set up, there is thousands of games to install via your AdminCP at a few clicks of the mouse button.

Also all iBProArcade v32 converted games will run on the arcade - a simple google search should provide a list of sites

[gator777]

Hey KW802, very nice mod and thanks for all your hard work. :)

I was having two issues. I lost my .tar files, so I am manuually uloading and adding them using the V3Arcade CP.

- The game posts as it should and I can play it, but the images are missing (even though they are the proper folder) .

- When I try to post a score (from the manually added games), I get a "Security token is missing" error.

[Xeyn]

Brilliant..Thats all i can say.........How do i mass delete all agmes installed thoe?got over 400 games installed...and dnt fancy cliking delete 1 by 1......also kw....i sent you a forum pm:-)

[8thos]

My ibproArcade stopped saving games. I tried several fixes and they did not work. It worked during vb4.07 but not after I upgraded to vb4.08.

Will v3 Arcade save games?

Don't see any reason why v3arcade wouldn't save the games, as long as you make any edits to the index.php file if you are using vBAdvanced or vBSuite CMS

[gator777]

Ok, I found some my missing .tar game files and sucessfully imported them, but I am haing a few issues.

- If I beat a high score using one of the imported games, it will only posts the first score. Subsequent high scores do not post.

- Also, when I manually "Add Game," the images do not appear (although I could workaround that by accessing the database), and the scores will not even attempt to post. What could I be doing wrong with the manual update?

[Gemma]

Are those manually installed games IPB v32 games?

If so can you make sure you have a folder called 'arcade' which has a subfolder called 'gamedata', they should have been created when you installed the arcade but the correct files may not be uploaded to these folders, when installing manually.

IPB v32 games need a gamedata folder because of the way the scores are written.

[gator777]

Thanks Gemma, I did have them in tyhe correct folder, but that wasn't the issue.

I have since dicovered that by changing the "isreverse" table in the db from "1" to "0" solved the scoring issue.

All I have left is to figure out why the manually added games will not post scores.

[Gemma]

I'll go and manually add a game on my site and get back to you

[Gemma]

Ok I've found a problem, hopefully it will solve your score errors for manual installs.

When installing manually there is a box above the game system drop down (iBPro, v3Arcade etc), on my system that box above is blank and doesn't have anything to tell you what should go in it.

It should contain the Gamename Shortname (gname in IPB) which is the swf minus the .swf (see attachment). The shortname will always be the flash filename minus the swf extension.

Can you try adding another game manually and see if it works?

Hmmm, I am very impressed with what I have read so far. I will have to give this a try this weekend or sooner if possible. One question first, does it already work with any of the currency systems? I'm specifically using [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe. I did not notice anything about he current systems in the list of features, but I can be blind occasionally.

Thanks.

I got so caught up in trying to work my issues that I almost forgot the most important thing ...and that was to say THANK YOU! This is a very, very nice mod...

For mochi games, has crossdomain.xml been uploaded to your site root?

For other games, are you running either vB Suite CMS or vBadvanced CMPS?

[glen290]

crossdomain has been uploaded, i have vbulletin cms but its disabled at the moment as its garbage :(

[Veer]

crossdomain.xml What is it for?

[Gemma]

It is require for the scoring of Mochi games, if you are using Mochi games (leaderboard enabled ones) and you don't have crossdomain.xml in your site root the scores want be saved to your site.

Thank you Gemma, but I already uploaded that file in forum root directory and Mochi games scores not going to save. just redirecting to an error page e.g. you do not have permission to access this page and also contains OR != 1 ORon on above header.

I double checked, I installed leaderboard enabled games and also added MochiMedia Publisher ID and Secret Key.

Is that with every Mochi game?

Can you try increasing your Session Timeout. AdminCP>Cookies and HTTP Header Options to see if it is cookie related.

Yes, same with every mochi game.

Please correct me, Mochi Game scores saves on forum arcade installation or they save on Mochi site? If I delete crossdomain.xml my scores going to save on Mochi sites without any problem but not on my arcade, is that correct?

Do you know if your host has mod_security turned on?

You can ask your host or if you have a .htaccess file add the following to it
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

See if that allows you to upload games. Someone else had this problem on v3arcade.com but they never got back to me.....:rolleyes:

Wow, you have guys/gals have been busy. I had to catch up from page 3 of the thread. :p Thanks Gemma. :) Nice job with you guys/gals working on that CMS widget; just took a look over at Forum-Banter to see it in action. It's a shame CMS widgets aren't as easy to package as CMPS modules. :(

I really like the ability you created to allow the user to increase the resolution of the game ...very nice touch (P.S. I would like to request you add "125%" selection for that pull-down) :DShould be easy enough... I'll try to add that to my test site tonight when I get home before I forget.

If you are using vBAdvanced - http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3407

Where exactly do I go to download more games?As Gemma noted, you can join Mochi for access to thousands of free games. Otherwise, v3 Arcade is compatible with v3 Arcade formatted games, IPB formatted games, IPB v32 formatted games, and Mochi games. A quick Google search should offer places to dowload v3A & IPB games.

When installing manually there is a box above the game system drop down (iBPro, v3Arcade etc), on my system that box above is blank and doesn't have anything to tell you what should go in it.

It should contain the Gamename Shortname (gname in IPB) which is the swf minus the .swf (see attachment). The shortname will always be the flash filename minus the swf extension.Drats! Confirmed bug (phrase issue really). Will fix tonight.

Hmmm, I am very impressed with what I have read so far. I will have to give this a try this weekend or sooner if possible. One question first, does it already work with any of the currency systems? I'm specifically using [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe. I did not notice anything about he current systems in the list of features, but I can be blind occasionally.

Thanks.
I have been trying to get their attention but no luck so far. :o I just posted again on their web site...

Is there an easier way to change the category of a game without having to enter into and edit each individual game?

It would be nice if you could add a "Pull-down" menu to change the category while in the "Manage Games" section. :D

[gator777]

Should be easy enough... I'll try to add that to my test site tonight when I get home before I forget.

You already have a setting for this in the V3Arcade Admin panel. I added 125% to the lineup. Very nice. :)

Thanks again for a great mod...

I am getting the following on top of the page after submitting scores from Mochi games "OR != 1 OR " and instead of the game I am taken to arcade.php?sessdo=burn&mochigame=108 page that says I do not have permissions to post even though I am admin and I have set all permissions to Yes.

Follow these instructions to the "letter," and it should fix your issues. I was in such a rush to install it, I didn't pay attention to the instructions, but this fixed it.

One feature I would like, is when you download games, for there to be a way not to include the games you have already downloaded.

For those wanting to add/change the available game zoom dimensions, you can find the option at ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade General Settings => Game Size Resolutions.

Unfortunately there isn't a quick path to doing that because the Mochi listings are really XML feeds that are read from the Mochi servers in real time. To filter them against the list of already installed would cause a bunch of queries as your go through the pages of the list of games.

ok i found the error
the swf games was in subfolder:

on 3.8 and v31rcade 1..0.6 there was addon to make it work to get words in the link ex:

and i hope you add title of the game in the arcade play page :
arcade.php?do=play&gameid=1464
to be
arcade.php?do=play&gameid=1464&title=UFO Breaker
so we can use vbseo to make it :

hello
i was using v3arcade v 1.0.8 as subdomain with little change that i did in the file arcade.php
and i put the arcade in subdomain and use for more than one year

but now after i upgrade vb4 and v3arcade i use the same manner and the file will be work but the links of the games still show the links ad main domain

what i did :

just open this arcade.php
and look for :
'userinfosearch' => array(
'v3arcade_miniuserinfo'
)
);then add :
require_once('./dyna_config.php');

chdir($forumpath);after that make file :
dyna_config.php
with those code:
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

// ============================================
// Enter the full path to your forum here
// Example: /home/yoursite/public_html/forum
// ============================================

$forumpath = '/home/user99/public_html';

?>after you write the coorect forum info it will work on the subdomain
the same way change all files that related to arcade on the level of the forum but put them on the subdomain
also you can fix the score submits with the same manner

this was work on the 1.0.8

but now it still show links of the games ,categories and others as from the main domain
for example
forum on :
http://www.site.com
the usual arcade url was :
http://www.site.com/arcade.php

after i did the changes
it will be :
http://games.site.com/arcade.php
but when i visit the links inside still show the main domain ,ex:
http://www.site.com/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=5171
and also all links for categories and others

i try to change the arcade url in style by replacement of :
<a href="arcade.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}
to
<a href="http://games.site.com/arcade.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}

but the result will be all links show :
http://www.site.com/games.site.com/arcade.php
and so on

I think your problem is related to this - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2119613&postcount=76

Can you check the v3arcade_games table in your database and browse some of the games that aren't scoring and see if the shortname field in the database is empty?

An example from your site would be the game girl_powerJS - it should be called 'Girl Power' as the girl_powerJS is the shortname.

If you look at the image in the url I posted above it shows you where the shortname should go when installing games, unfortunately the phrase is missing from the install screen at present. Best thing to do would be try it with one of the games that isn't working and see if it records scores.

[SwollenCranium]

BUG:

Type: Cosmetic ... low priority

The Arcade Statistic tab in the user profile does NOT follow the same customization conventions that the user has selected. In other words the Arcade Stats become invisible under certain conditions of customizations.

Hi mates, just a question. I would like to switch from ibproarcade to v3arcade but I've two questions

2 - Where can I find some games for v3 arcade? Are the same games that I've used for ibpro? Can I use the same tar?

Thank you very much indeed...

If you check this thread - http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3602 - there is some code you can add to a .htaccess file to 'bypass' mod_security (mod_security only effects installing mochimedia games via autopost)

All ibPro v32 games work with v3arcade, there is also a selection of v3arcade games on v3arcade.com and you can use games from mochimedia.com

Big problem. Everything seems to work but the problem is that after I've played, when I click on the send score button, I quit to the main forum page and no score is registered...

[andreamarucci]

Just to be more precise. When I play at one of the games included in the release the score registering works. Does not works if I play at one of the games that I've imported form IBPro using the included functions in the admin...

Wow, I've to admit thet this mod is light years ahead of IBPro Arcade. Everything works fine.

Just a question. I've modified the Score Date Format in the admin panel; i've inserted d-m-Y G:i that I think is correct to display the italian date. Problem is that in the board instead of the date appear "d-m-Y G:i".

I've missed something?

Do you receive any error message?

You say 'using the included functions in admin' are you trying to import the games manually or as .tar files?

Using the importer would have moved all your game data from ibproarcade database format to v3arcade compatible format - things like file name, images, gname etc - not just scores.

[Gemma]

I've got my Score Date Format set as

\A\t\ G:i:s \o\n\ M j Y.

It only appears in that format on the game highscore page - not on tournaments, leaderboards etc. Not sure if that is a bug or not.

But nothing ever gets imported. I'm not going to manually import XXX amount of games and if it can not do it on its own, then its worthless.

The only games I seem to be able to install are from v3Arcade website and using the MochiMedia.com importer, but its not search-able.

This is what the mod is for.

Mod also says they can import games which have been uploaded manually (such as iB "Pro" Arcade games or other v3Arcade games). Nothing I upload to the server manually ever gets imported.

Only thing that gets imported is if I use v3Arcade's website or use the Browse MochiMedia.com Games (which isn't search-able)

In what way is MochiGames not searchable?

What steps exactly are you taking with installing your IPB games? Should be as simple as uploading the .tar files to your server (default folder is /admincp/games), making sure that the folders specified in the ACP 'Import IPB Games' are chmod to 777 during installation, and then hitting the install button.

In what way is MochiGames not searchable?I suspect he means from the ACP. Since the ACP is driven from pre-defined feeds off of the Mochi server, it'd be a huge mess to even try a search feature directly from within the ACP using the feeds.

If I upload a .tar file or .zip file... And tell it to mass import, all I have ever gotten is

Importing Games
There are no more games to import.

And then the .tar or .zip file is gone (off the server).

AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Import Games > Browse MochiMedia.com Games

Brings up a nice list, but you can not search by title ... ie... type in a name and get the exact game you want.

{After looking at the zip file}.... the problem you're running into there is that it is a rather old file and the database names & installation methods have changed the last few years for v3A formatted games.

For that particular games, unzip the file to a folder, then modify the PHP file to replace the entire contents of the file to be this instead:<?php

// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

$specialtemplates = array();

require_once('./global.php');

print_cp_header("v3 Arcade - AirFox");

print_form_header('airfox.game', 'stepone');
print_table_header("v3 Arcade - AirFox");
print_description_row("This script will install AirFox for your v3 Arcade.<p>

Click on \"Install AirFox\" to begin the installation.");
print_submit_row("Install AirFox", 0);
} else {
print_form_header('airfox.game', 'stepone');
print_table_header("v3 Arcade - AirFox");
print_description_row("AirFox is already installed!");
}
}

// ################################################## ###########################

if ($_POST['do'] == "stepone")
{
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "v3arcade_games (shortname, gameid, title, descr, file, width, height, miniimage, stdimage, gamesettings, highscorerid, highscore) VALUES ('airfox', NULL, 'AirFox', 'Blast your way thru enemy ships in this space shooter.', 'airfox.swf', 300, 320, 'airfox2.gif', 'airfox1.gif', 29, NULL, NULL)");
$DB_site->query("
INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamenews (newstext,newstype,datestamp) VALUES ('New game installed, <b>AirFox</b>','newgame'," . TIMENOW . ")
");
print_form_header('airfox.game', '');
print_table_header("v3 Arcade - AirFox");
print_description_row("Installation Complete! (PLEASE DELETE THIS FILE.)");
}

?>
The only change being that the table name is now "v3arcade_games" instead of just "games" (the table name changes were done as of v3A 2.0.0).

After that, upload the two .gif files to your /images/arcade folder and the .swf file to your /games folder. Upload the .php file to your /admincp folder and run the PHP file (eg:http://www.mysite.com/forums/admincp/airfox.game.php) and that will install the games settings for you into the tables. After that delete the airfox.game.php file from your server (but leave the rest).

[KW802]

Wow. To much work for all the games I have.Depends on how old they really are. The v3A formatted games should've switched over to a PHP format some time ago where instead of having a stand-alone installer the PHP is instead just the variables need to be picked up by the installer in the ACP. Those games should install fine. It is just the really old files, like the first one you posted, where they still have their own stand-alone installer script.


Wonders if my IB games are out dated as well.

Is it possible to still access the files for the previous versions? My forums are almost entirely custom so I'd like to wait to upgrade to 4.0.8 until I have the time to make all the template updates. That being said, I'm using 4.0.7 but I'd love to have the arcade back up.

Are there archived files anywhere for 4.0.7?

*Only suggestion: Place the sample games in their respective categories automatically.

Is it possible to add a game to multiple categories?

I've run into only 1 bug that is not listed anywhere (that I could find) and its an odd one.

When looking at the games score, the system is ranking them backwards.... ie.... The lower score is ranked #1 and the highest score is in last place.

Anyone know what's up or how to fix this?

Is that happening with every game? (IPB, v3 and Mochi ones?)

Go to your phpmyadmin and run the query..

UPDATE `v3arcade_games` SET isreverse = 0

It will set High scoring for all the games, however if there are some scores which require low scoring you will need to edit them manually.

There is also an option when managing games AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Manage Games to set the scoring to either high or low for each game.

I know some IPB games I've installed automatically set the score type to low when it shouldn't be - this is usually due to a poorly written php file by the game encoder (not setting the highscore_type correctly)

No it's not happening to every game. Only some games & thankfully only the IPB games.

So will I need to manually edit ever game this affects? I think I'd sooner remove the game, then going around and playing with phpmyadmin

EDIT: This seems to work..

Here is my problem.

I have VB 4.1.0

The games that came with the installation work fine, save fine and save the high score... no problems.

I had a time trying to download games and went thru the white pages, games not downloading and all that.. got that fixed.

Now I can download games (I do not use Mochi and don't plan on using Mochi, so please no tips for that) from http://www.ibpdownloads.com they now install fine and they play fine, they just do not show a score. When the games I downloaded are over, some says submit score and others do doing and sit there. The ones that have submit score, when you click it.. it takes a moment then as well just sits and does nothing, does not save score.

I do use cmps but the arcade is installed on my main site www.mysite.net//public_html/arcade My main site is set to go to www.mysite.net when you click the link.

So I don't understand why the original 5 games store high scores and the downloaded games do not.

SBKTR, yes, I did read your entire post and directed you to the likely answer already. If you are using vB4 Suite and you are using vBa CMPS in the same folder as vB (eg: in your root /public_html folder) then your IPB game scores will not be saved unless you do the edit I linked to.

Those edits don't worked as I have said. I have tried them and retried them. When I checked that folder for the edit it was already there ABOVE where you said to put it.. not below. So I added it below and tried.. no saved scores. I went back in and took it off the top and only left it on the bottom.. no saved scores. So I went back in again and left it the way it originally was.

The only scores that save are with the 5 games that came WITH the installation.

In Gemma's thread the only thing I couldn't find, was the short name thing she was referring to... but I also didn't manually add the games, I uploaded them. I couldn't find any ini.php file to check for her solution, I don't know what file folder that is in. It would be really helpful if when someone says check your so and so file.. that you tell us what folder/s that file is in? Otherwise I have no clue where to look.

SBKTR for the shortname problem you need to access your database and check the v3arcade_games table. If the shortname field for any installed IPB games is blank the score won't save.

You've lost me. I've checked your arcade using Firefox, IE8 and 9, Opera and Google Chrome and cannot see any problem with your categories :confused:

found the problem - fixed but thx :)

Gemma, I guess I am not understanding this part at all.

Are you talking check my files in my cpanel?
I don't know where to locate the shortname field.. where is THAT at? Is it called that or something else?

[SBKTR]

Thanks to everyone, I finally got this working. It took FOREVER too..

What I had to do.

Fix the index.php file AND set my forum path correctly.

My scores are now saving, least the test one I did, saved.

Thanks again.

It's explained in the first line of Gemma's paragraph. You check the v3arcade_games table in your database for that fieldname. I take it you didn't do your own vB installation? The database is what you had to create in MySQL before you could install vBulletin. If you have cPanel, then you probably have phpMyAdmin, too, which will let you view the tables.

Can you tell me the steps you took please? I've asked for help before and my scores still don't save.

Can you tell me the steps you took please? I've asked for help before and my scores still don't save.It's possible I missed your open issue. :o

Please either post a link to your site or a link back to the post with the details on your problem (eg: what version of vB are you running [vB4 Suite or vB4 Forum], are you using vBa CMPS, any other 3rd party software, what types of games aren't saving, etc.).

Thanks

ThanksI am using VB4 4.1 PL2

Using CMS. http://the8thlegion.com

Some games do not save. This happened before when I had ibproarcade. I tried several different fixes before and they didn't work which is why I switched over to v3arcade and I still get the same issue.

Have you done these changes yet to your /index.php file?

[Gemma]

You say it is only happening with some games and happened with ibProArcade too before you switched?

If you've done the relevent file edits and scores still aren't saving I'd check your server files to make sure you still have a gamedata folder for any game that isn't saving scores.

I won't go into the whole game converting/score saving process but if any IPB v32 game doesn't have a gamedata folder with the required files it won't be able to save the score and write it to your database.

[Alex@Mk3OC]

I asked this on v3arcade a few days ago and got no response. I have imported my ibproarcade into v3, but when using the conversion script on the v3arcade website it errored when trying to copy the games, now in my arcade i see the games list, scores, tournaments, but when I try and play a game there is no game to play it's just a blank box, this is for all the games installed

What setting where must I be missing if.. all mods/admin can play the games AND it saves score..

But all the rest that have access to the arcade can play the games, but it does NOT save scores. I've checked everything I know to check.

I am running this on 4.1.1 with no issues either, and I'm a noob and installed it myself lol

@zelnik and stwan

Any chance you can disable all plugins except the arcade and see if the error still persists?
