I can not get the arcade to work from my vbabd_home page. When I put the pointer on "arcade" in my navbar, it shows "mysite.com/arcade.php". When I put the pointer on "arcade" in my navbar from my forum index page it shows "mysite.com/forums/arcade.php", and the arcade works? I missed something, just not sure where.

in the vBadvanced navbar template if it has one, it should be

$vboptions[bburl]/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]


If that doesn't work, hard code the address.

or maybe use

$vboptions/forums/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]

[neocorteqz]

I tried to add this to the memberinfo template so it only shows if they have an award. It doesnt work. Any ideas?


<if condition="$userinfo[arcadeawards]">
<tr>
<td>
<strong>Arcade Awards</strong>:<br />
$arcadeawards
</td>
</tr>
</if>


that template may not be global.

I believe you need to drop the -10 in that query, as for how. I'm not sure.

I have not been able to find a vbadvanced template:( to modify. I searched and searched before I made the post. I know that is where it needs to be changed, but I can not find it. If I change it in the navbar template, the arcade works on the home(portal) page, but does not work on the forum index page.

[Nick0r]

does anyone know if it's possible (and if so how) you can copy all your games and the sql info from one forum to another, keeping the same games, but blanking all the high scores etc. This saves me reinstalling 800 games onto my new forums.

[womensden]

Not sure if this has been discussed, but I dont want to weed through 218+ pages of posts to find out.

How can I show more games on the arcade index? I only show like 10 games and I would like to show more.

[Harry72]

u can do this in arcade.php

In arcade.php look out for

$perpage = 10;

Delete 10 and enter 15 or 20 and so on. Just how u like it. :nervous:

[womensden]

thanks!

[Sinister21]

ok.. i've seen tonnes of people asking for games.. i'de love for someone to pm or email me some games.. but.. is there a way, if you have the SWF to set it up in the arcade?


can someone please tell me how to add new games? or give me the php file that you use to install new ones?!


all i need is a point in the right direction, and im sure i can figure it out for myself..

oh. and link to some games would be great :banana:

[RaZor Edge]

I download all of these 900+ games from the ftp server.... should I upload them to my own server? That FTP was kinda slow.

Many of use will be happy if you do it!!!

:nervous:

[AuroraMike]

careful if you use categories and are using 3.0.7 w/ new games. You won't be able to assign the games to categories after you install them. Something has broken between 3.0.6 and 3.0.7. It also affects game options. You can manually change things in PHPmyadmin but that's not for everyone.

[AuroraMike]

in the vBadvanced navbar template if it has one, it should be

$vboptions[bburl]/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]


If that doesn't work, hard code the address.

or maybe use

$vboptions/forums/arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]


or, a whole lot easier is to add arcade.php to the vba cmps navbar and/or header links in the admincp and it will do all the work for you.

[AuroraMike]

Excellent hack. My members love it.

The Space Invaders game is buggy though. The last 3-4 times I've played it, it just quit out on me for no reason at all. I had lots of lives, and I didn't get shot, but it ended like I just lost my last life.

It really pisses me off too. Cause one of our members has totally kicked my ass on nearly all the games, and I need to retake my high score at Space Invaders, but it the game crashes every time I try! grrrr.

If the invaders land, the game ends unlike the arcade where if they land you lose a life and that's it.

[Harry72]

Yes, there are more games with bugs. :mad: :speechless: :rolleyes:

[neocorteqz]

Anyone else having a problem where after you upgrade to 3.0.7, you get a no permissions error?

I've been through the edits 3 times, and set and reset the permissions per usergroup, and nothing is working.

[neocorteqz]

fixed it.

[Nutts]

How did you fix the problem neo. I am having a similar problem, except the pages load fine, and all looks well, except the game movies are not loading. This is a fresh install on a fresh copy of Vb 3.07. Of course, the title of this hack thread indicates support up to 3.03 only, is this my problem?

Does anyone have any ideas?

The problem can be seen here.

You may want to allow guest/not logged in users to view the arcade.

I fixed my problem by redoing all My hacks, But starting with the arcade hacks first.

Now I don't see how that made any difference, but i couldhavemissedsomething and Just not noticed it at all. It happens, But idon'tmindstarting with a clean slate to fix stuff or figure things out.

And I have to ask. Newly installed games? or redoing the file edits because of the upgrade to vB 3.0.7?

[sitka]

$game = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games A, gamescat B WHERE A.categoryID = B.categoryID ORDER BY gameid ");

I have no problem with any other area of the arcade. I can even change the game categories around in the "Game Categories" link in the admincp "Add Game Category" works too.

BUT when i click on the "game settings" in the admincp I get this ERROR

I have the correct names these are just x'd out.
xxxxxx = my prefix
xxxxxx_xxxxxx = database name

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.x:

There shouldn't be a . between the prefix and the table name. This isn't the only hack that has issues w/ prefixes. I wish someone could explain how to prevent issues like this.

So, anyone uploaded the 800+ games zip? I can mirror.

[lucabosurgi]

For $1,99 you get them here http://www.internetjunkie.org/showthread.php?t=717

[lucabosurgi]

I get the "non loged in" window when I click the return link from the playgame page to the main arcade page.
I'm on 3.0.7 any suggestions? The rest works beautifully!!!
Thank you

[J.C.]

I also need new/more games ASAP for my new forums... but I dont know when v3arcade.com will open :( so, if anyone have a collection pack, I'd be grateful if you can upload it to my FTP. (Please PM me)

Thanks.. :)

[Chrissicom]

I have like 800 games on my FTP all from that other FTP that has gone offline. Although I have a 100 MBit stand-up line and I think if I would publicly post the server here you guys would suck up my traffic pretty quickly. Please send $5 or 4 EUR by PayPal to chrissicom@sandrabullock.ws and I give you a private FTP account to access and download all the games with no bandwidth or speed limit :-)

[WiseOwl]

werd I hear ya

[nighteyes]

It seems like everyone is in the business of trying to profit from selling access to copyrighted games now. This is software piracy, pure and simple, and of the very worst kind.

The moderators of this board should crack down on this practice immediately.... otherwise this could get very messy for all those involved.

[Chrissicom]

Asking for $5 to download so many games is no profit! It's less than I pay for the traffic generated so I still loose money when I rech my bandwidth limit and too many people download the games. I don't even have a website up where I say contact me to buy games or anything like that! It's just on a personal basis. I study law in Europe and I know that this kind of business is not illegal over here, maybe in the US don't know their laws.

[Brent H]

Charging to download ANYTHING that's not owned by you for ANY amount of money is illegal, and breaks various copyright laws (and I suspect international laws as well). Even if you don't make any kind of monetary profit from it by charging less than what it costs you to operate the server, you're still getting some sort of compensation by having the bill for your server be padded by these 5 dollar "donations".

If anyone needs the space, I have a webhosting account I'm not using that I can upload any and all games to. PM me and I'll get it going.

Maybe he's charging for a membership to his MSPAINT art gallery. The downloads are free...

(My point is that crying about that stuff is useless. There are plenty of ways around it.)

Completely untrue. Even under several open source licenses, you cannot simply repackage an existing product and attempt to generate any type of revenue from it.

That being said, anyone stupid enough to actually pay for something like this is as lame as they are stupid. Simply think of all of the ways that people share copyrighted material and look there if you were interested. But do not post messages about file distribution of copyrighted material for a finder's fee on a Jelsoft site and expect people that actually care about the well-being of this company to not give a damn.

People can be so lame. Charging money for games they don't even own.

If anyone needs a mirror for the files, I have enough bandwidth.

Sheesh -

I have the infamous 7 zipped files... each one ranging from 1.2m to just over 9mb each. I also downloaded most of the "extra" games from the previously posted FTP, plus gathered a few from other places....but unfortunately they are moved into a different directory of games I've already installed.. So what I just did was to create another series of zips file called "favorites" which currently has 150 of the best games I have found, though there will be some duplications from the previous 7 zipped collections, but there's some good extra ones in there.

I also have All of the YetiSports + the YetiOlympics + Yeti StageDIve (all very popular on my site) and just created a yeti zip file for these.

If anyone is willing to offer a space for people to download I have no problem in sharing as I received them for free as well. Most of these games worked, but some did not, and some won't record the scores ( I'd appreciate any info on how to fix this!).

Anyway, I am not really looking forward to email around 100Mb of files around (my email service limits me anyway) but if anyone has some extra space/bandwidth and would be willing to be kind enough to allow people to download these for free, please contact me. Maybe you can set me up with temporary access to your FTP area and I could just upload them all there. As someone was kind enough to share them to me, we should return the favor and share them to the next person who maybe will share them as well...

One other option is to have someone here set up a free email account with lost of space (like gmail). We could post the username and password on here and do the "honor system" thing. Folks could log in and download the attachemnts. I don't know how long (if at all) something like this would work, but it would sure save the bandwidth issue!

[Brent H]

The only access I have to my server is root access, so I wouldn't be able to give anyone their own temp account to upload stuff. These other people are offering temp accounts though and I'd be happy to mirror the files in case traffic load gets too high or something happens.

[sitka]

maybe if this forum was moderated we won't hear the game request bs. i think everyone is capable of finding a game or two on their own if they are semi-intelligent. i'd rather see this thread as a support forum than a game warez-kiddie whine fest. i've seen this same attitude in the emulation scene. people ruin it but wanting games, games and games. the arcade can serve a good purpose but the few immature ones seem to ruin it everytime. history repeats itself that is without a doubt.

I'll send anyone that needs it a gmail invite, just pm or post a email and name to send it to.

Although I'm sure everyone and their grandmother has a gmail account I have 50 invites to use. :p

I think that since v3arcade.com (the main source of people's games) is down, people who are willing to put collections of games up should be allowed to do so without people complaining about it. So what if people are asking for games? They've got no where else to go and ask, they just supposed to settle for some of the crappy games they can find scattered around here? I think it's awesome that people are willing to help others gain access to some of the nicer games.

How's this: We could do both! Steven White, I'll send you an email... it'll either be from my vbulletin site at simtechonline.com, or one of my other cheapie sites (low bandwidth, but what can you expect for a website for under $4 a month?). So don't be alarmed if it's something really weird like "alienskull.com" or "goodnerd.com".

I'll see if I can increase my email sending size so that I can get over the 10meg limit. I'll figure something out on my end. Both you guys - can your email accounts accept files greater than 10mb?

MissKalunji: would you be willing to sacrifice your gmail address so that it can be posted on here for everyone to sign into and download the attached zip files to the emails that I send there? If not, send me a gmail invite to me and we'll create a gmail account called something like v3games. Who knows... hopefully it'll act like some kind of co-op. As we get games we can share them through the gmail acct.

Sound gouda to you?

[neocorteqz]

ok, just sent 3 to sim tech, and 1 to ironhead (i think)

removed and put in text file as per instructions
I'm email the Yeti zip file now... please notethat it's almost 3am here and I am zonked! I try and set up my Outlook to send as many as I can, but I am dead on my feet here.

Also - could someone else write and send the gmail account a quick letter entitled "read me first" or something like that? Just a letter for folks to read with the standard "please do not delete any of these files bla bla bla"?

I'll get the rest up in the morning, I also have just made another 5.9m zip collection of about 10+ ones I just stumbled across.

zzzzzzzzzz - all files are in route. Too much absinthe here and it's wayyyy too late.Just realized, not a good idea. unlicensed users will have access this way. So at least edit your post to have code tags surrounding the the username and password. Or I will have a File uploaded with whatever is in the gmail that i grabbed. I will provide a link, but I will put it in code tags so the link will be unreadable by unlicensed/non-registered Users.

Edit: God this post bug is starting to get really annoying.

Edit2:
If anyone can mirror, please do. Address is in the attached txt file.

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I list all the game in one singel page. It's splitting the game-index up in 10s now.

If you have more than one hack, you will need to Do the Arcade hack first.

Other than that its in the readme files that if you are getting that error you made a mistake while hacking init.php and/or global.php

iirc.

[Protoman]

found it.. my connection flaked out when I was installing. so, it didn't add the tables at the end.. reinstalled, problem gone. :)

[Beowolf]

Hi guys,

I've installed the hack, made sure everyone can view/play it in the usergroups permission area, but got the "you don't have permissions" error when at arcade.php, so I rehacked init.php and global.php and uploaded them again, but the same error stays. Any more ideas?

[salem65]

Hello, I installed this hack, and it works great except that none of the games will update the scores. The jsut hang at the submitting score. And Chopper when you click on submit score, does nothing.

http://triplexgay.com/arcade.php

any ideas?

Thanks
jbot

[neocorteqz]

May I make a suggestion.

If you post a link to your arcade, make sure it's viewable by unregistered users. One can not properly diagnose a problem if they are required to sign up. :)

[Protoman]

anybody know what games are 2 player enabled? if any? thx.

[rjordan]

As far as I know, no games are 2-player enabled on v3... at least this version...

[rjordan]

If this has been previously posted here or elsewhere, then my apologies.

I have found that if you delete a member and look at their awards (postbit mod is where I saw it), any unplayed games will show up under their or a guest's post (if you allow it). To fix this, I made the following change to the arcade hack:

In functions_showthread.php, change:

if ($award['userid']==$post['userid']) {
to:
if ($award['userid']==$post['userid'] AND $post['userid']!=0) {
This is caused by the member ID being set to 0 and unplayed games having a award user ID of 0.

[Protoman]

I can challenge users to a game, but how do you accept a challenge? nobody can figure this out on my site??

ya sorry bout that. :lick:
Here is a login if anyone out there can take a look and maybe have any idea of why the scores won't submit.

[salem65]

The person you challenge should get a PM and then next time they log into the arcade there will be a notification just below their profile. Then next time you visit the arcade after they have played there should be a challenge waiting for you. At least this is what happened when I tested a challenge. Also make sure in your usercp that you have allow challenges turned on.

[Pete]

It's cool. alot of us do it, and forget we don't allow guest, and then when a problem comes up. Were only thinking about the problem at hand, not that the arcade is not viewable by guest.

[salem65]

Hey again,
I just installed another of my boards with this arcade hack and it has the exact same problem with the scores not submitting. I am sure I am doing it correctly. Does anyone have any ideas?

If you'd like I can take a look at your hacked files and see if I can't figure it out. Just let me know.

man i installed! its ++++in mad! the installation was much easier than the actual games. lol.

thanks for this hack John its crazy.

Hi guys,

I've installed the hack, made sure everyone can view/play it in the usergroups permission area, but got the "you don't have permissions" error when at arcade.php, so I rehacked init.php and global.php and uploaded them again, but the same error stays. Any more ideas?

Same here. :(

[neocorteqz]

for the permission denied errors. I've found starting clean and rehacking the arcade edits FIRST before any other hacks fixed my issue.

Hey, I am getting this problem now. It doesn't stop users from playing, it just does not submit the scores:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE games SET highscorerid=,highscore=129022 WHERE shortname='tetris'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'highscore=129022 WHERE shortname='tetris'' at line 1

And for the permission denied error, eva01_ suggested to me this, which worked:

go into your global.php and make sure there isn't a "}" after the arcade additions, make sure it is before the additions

2 questions, (im new to Vb) i have installed the mod and it works great on the default template but i have installed a new template to the site and arcade doesnt work anymore it just shows a blank page? (i managed to get the ushop to work on the new template). is all you have to do to get it to work the Template Modifications? and my other question is is there a hack so that people have to buy Arcade Pass to play that will work with this arcade and the ushop? i found one but thats not working :(
the site is http://www.webtechtalk.com btw

thanks for your help

Ya that would be great if you could take a look at the files. PM me your email address and I will send you a zip file with them.

Thanks for your help

[sim tech]

Well, the Gmail account thing quickly died, and I'm not sure how many people are wanting to download some of my lagrer zip files (the ones marked "favorites").

Anyway - I'll make a txt file of the web address. This way you can pick and choose what you want. This is also a co-op experiment so I'm hoping to see some new games added.

This will have all of the games in the gamepacks 1-7, plus the "favorites" series, Yeti, and the ones that I had downloaded in the March 6th file.

Enjoy - and as I mentioned, please send the email address any games not listed & I'll update the site so more people can use them!

Yes the v3arcade site is down.
No there is not way to mass install the games unless you write the installer to do so. Even then I would install them individually so you can make sure there are no problems.

[Sleepyk]

^alright, what about a hack for like tourneys like ipb got?

The only 3D Superball that I saw out there was for IBPro. I'm guessing the php install file was something like 3dsuperball.php (and the archive was a .tar file and not a zip file)? If it's for v3Arcade it should be 3dsuperball.game.php

OK... I have searched up and down this thread and I can't find the following....

How to have the mini icons (for games that you have won) display below your name in your forum posts. ???? Can anyone tell me where to find this info ?

[Bernd Glasstett]

"games SET highscorerid=," this is your problem.

If your allowing guests to play, it cannot register a highscoreridbecause they have no id. You can either disallow visitors from playing,or, you can place an id check prior to the score write, to fix that.

If their not logged in, they shouldnt be able to play anyway. Thats your best bet.

There can be another reason for this. I searched for this error as wegot it too. BUT: Guests are not enabled to play or even see the arcade!

Here is the solution after some time of examining the database: Wedeleted the user who had the best score in this game. Problem is: Thereneeds to be a check: If the user doesn't exist, take the next score andso on. So this can be declared a serious bug!

Or another solution: Change the delete-routine of VBB, and delete allscores of the deleted user too. That would solve the problem.

Go to your arcade general settings in your admincp and disable "Display Arcade Awards in Postbit?"

That should turn it off.

Okay...So, When a user is in the arcade...my guests online in the whos online thing goes up. When I view the IP address, it matches up with a user in the arcade.

What i need help with is, how do i get rid of that so that it doesnt show the guest, which is actually a registered user.

I used to have something like that on the old format of my message board (pre vbulletin). But it didn't keep high scores or anything like that. I just used simple gif files for the game & made the links go to a swf file (or any other format). It was nice 'cause you could do this with any game format.... not just shockwave files.

My members seem to like the v3arcade format better though.

Please help... thanks in advance :)

it says it in the install read me :ermm:

you add the install php game file into your admincp the games games and the pictures into images/arcades...

then type www.domain.com/forum/admincp/gamefile.php

n install



i do not see this gamefile.php file ? also i didn't see it in the install read me :ermm:

[hugh_]

Could someone tell me how to replace the postbit icon and text for game champions with just text? Also how do I remove the search box addition to the navbar?

Thanks, top hack!

hugh

[Brandon Sheley]

The same as you would any other game..

Upload the .swf files to your /games directory.
Upload the .gif files to your /images/arcade directory.
Upload the .game.php file to your /admincp directory.

Then run the .game.php file in your browser via http://www.yoursite.com/forums/admincp/x.game.php, replacing x with the gamename. For example: pacman.game.php



Thnak u so much for this, i searched alot of threads looking for the answer :) i guess i misunderstood in the others :banana:

[lowcarbscoop]

I just installed a new theme and re-ran the first step of the install over again and ARCADE is not showing on the navbar. Can someone help me add this? I tried adding the code manually to the navbar template, but when I do, it shows an ARCADE link but when you click it, you just get a blank page.

v3arcade deleted user avatar fix(?)

After you delete a user, I have found that if you (or more importantly, a search spider) tries to access the stats link for that deleted user, you likely will get something like this:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT user.avatarid, user.avatarrevision, avatarpath, NOT ISNULL(avatardata) AS hascustom, customavatar.dateline
FROM user AS user
LEFT JOIN avatar AS avatar ON avatar.avatarid = user.avatarid
LEFT JOIN customavatar AS customavatar ON customavatar.userid = user.userid
WHERE user.userid =
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 5

mysql error number: 1064
There does not seem to be a check built-in to see if a user is actually a valid user. I have hopefully found a fix for this with the following:

Find:
$activitycount = $DB_site->query("
SELECT gamesessions.*, games.title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions AS gamesessions
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games AS games ON gamesessions.gamename = games.shortname
WHERE userid=$userid AND valid=1 AND $sessionclause GROUP BY sessionid ORDER BY finish DESC");
and above this add:
if ($user['username']=="") {
$idname = $vbphrase['user'];
eval(print_standard_error('error_invalidid'));
}
I suspect that the scores for the deleted user might still be there after the user is deleted. If this is correct and vBulletin allows someone else to get this user ID, they might by default get all of the high scores for the games by the previous ID owner. Looking into that.

EDIT: It looks like vB does not recycle user IDs. This SHOULD work to eliminate the error.

[jamiepryer@hotm]

is there anyway to sort the list of games into your own chosen order?

Hmm i have ucash ushop 95 b. I have tried to install this hack with ucash installed but, i get errors. Any ideas?

I have vbookie, ucash/ushop, and arcade installed & they work fine.

Though I do remember having to do a very slight mod. I believe it was where

'arcadesettings'
), $specialtemplates);


in the init.php was placed (and how it didn't quite match up to the instructions.

I think it was here: (make sure everything ends with a comma except the last array)
$specialtemplates = array_merge(array(
'options',
'cron',
'forumcache',
'usergroupcache',
// ## <ucs>
'stylecache',
'utt_store_act',
// ## </ucs>
'vbookiesettings',
'arcadesettings'
), $specialtemplates);
}

Since it was the last post on the page, might have been over looked

I don't know why It does not work !!!

[bigwest]

AWESOME addition thank you!!!

I did have the problem of the script only adding the templates in the style I was currently in. It was an easy fix but I bet that happens to a lot of folks.

Very, very cool!!!

[bigwest]

I am not sure if I want 600mb of games :)

Is there a place where you can download just the ones you want?

[Magic-al]

Hi all, i have spent countless hours trying to install ibproarcade, and have failed miserably.

Everything went well, untill i logged into the site to see the fruits of my labour.

Notice: Undefined index: sessdo in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\TFH-FM\forums\arcade.php on line 15

Notice: Undefined index: sessdo in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\TFH-FM\forums\arcade.php on line 22

All links ect are in place, all entries in control panel are there, but i just cant get things going.

If anyone can possibly help, i would very much appreciate it.

Thx in advance..

It' s cool
But , how can I add more game to Arcade ?

[plubius]

Excuse me if this sounds rude, but I think this hack has run its course. There have been no updates in quite a while. The hack's author no longer supports it as far as I can see.

Now, you do have some hacks that are great and this is one of them. The reason that they are great is that are considered to be useful and easy to install. The usefulness must consistent, and that is where this hack is lacking. I will explain.

Back when I first installed this hack games were plentiful because the hack author had a website where one could go and get games free of charge. Now the website is closed and the explanation given is one I find personally offensive. It states that because game seekers would not respect the copyrights of game authors then the site would be closed. Why do I find it offensive? It presumes all game seekers, myself included, have violated game creator's copyrights. It seeks to punish the whole for the sins of the few and I thought when I exited school and became an adult that sort of peer pressure discipline tactic was a thing of the past.

I say that if John does not want to support this hack any more then it should be removed so that people can choose another game hack that is being supported and that they can find games for.

Why should it be removed ?
There are loads of hacks that are unsupported and since these hacks are all for free why are we entitled to support ?
Theres a tutorial on how to add your own flash games to the arcade so why not use that ?

Either way theres two arcade hacks available and this one simply adds more choice

[plubius]

We are entitled to support when these major hacks are introduced and author states that he or she will support them. All of us have spent good money on our boards and want to insure that we have but the best hacks. The hack author, while not receiving monetary remuneration, is rewarded in several ways for a good hack. This is by donations and/or recognition.

I am way too busy to learn how to create games. Further, I installed this hack under the premise that games would be available for it. These other hacks that you speak of that are unsupported are not so highly sung as this one. The chances of someone installing a defective hack in that case are very low. However, everyone wants an arcade so they will install this one only to learn that there are no games for it.

No, as it stands, two arcades only leave us with one right choice and one wrong.

[Pseudomizer]

No, as it stands, two arcades only leave us with one right choice and one wrong.

I totally agree with plubius. I am scheduling a big remake of my site with the latest version of VBulletin and I will remove this hack. It was a GREAT hack and my members loved it. But now after some time they get used to all the games and I can not deliver any new games due to the shut down of the page.

And yes, you are right msimplay that I could sit down and develop some new games but I do not have the time to do this.

The only way to go is to install a new hack where new games will be added and to be honest, i would also pay a little amount of money to ensure to get the proper support and updates and new games rather then begging.

This hack was great but is out of date. This hack should not be removed but it should be clearly stated that this hack is not supported and will not be enhanced any more.

Cheers,

The checkbox at the top that says supported is not checked
however i do know games are available at another site
and has a great many games although at a price

I'm not having any problems with the hack and i get my new games via the paid site

Its currently the only hack that the arcade pass hack supports , I don't know what thats worth to anyone

This hack has had many addons as although many of them are intergrated by default in the new IBPRO arcade hack

Hi msimplay,

then please send me the link to this site via PM please.

Who out there is qualified to say what is right or wrong for my site? Should hacks be pulled? Heck no! I just installed some hacks from over a year ago that never even got a response. Why? Because someone took the time to make something they thought would be enjoyable and it fit my site. Maybe one person does not think it should be there, but for me? I think they should all stay.

Opinions. Everyone has them. I respect that you have yours.

I will have something up soon that will allow game downloads. I have not had the time to do anything with it lately between work and home happenings, but it is almost ready. No, please do not ask for the games yet because they are not in a ready to go state. There are places out there to get games. A link will be posted when it is up.

I agree - this is probably the best hack out there. My members swarm to the arcade, but I don't charge a fee. I also paid to download games and even though the price was kind of steep, I found it worth while as I was able to double my games that I could offer. My forum was just started in Jan 2005, and I already have 226 members. Right now there are 6 members online and 4 of them are in the arcade!

My only wish is that someone could get the netplay feature working.

What is needed though is a separate thread that would allow links for people to download games... rather than folks who are looking to be constantly posting on here. Would the powers here allow such a thread if we only posted links and did not allow people to upload games directly here (and eat up space and bandwidth of vbulletin.org)?

[boeserwolf]

dear members,


as v3arcade.com has closed due to problems with the copyright of the games authors, I uploaded the game package to my server. The downloadlink is in my attachment, because of the non vbulletin members here.

Important: Be careful with the copyright!! Ask the authors if it is okay for them that you use their games in your forum.
don´t upload any game to your forum if you are not sure, that this is legal

Did you run the install file?

[MentaL]

yes it came from the install file

[KTBleeding]

If you ran the installer then the table should be there.

Try it again..

Go to "yoursite.com/admincp/install_arcade.php" and follow the steps again?

[MentaL]

well they are not there.... lol ;)

any1 actually help plz?

[Mijae]

well they are not there.... lol ;)

Uh, did you upload the install_arcade.php to your /admincp/? That'd be a good start.

Uh, did you upload the install_arcade.php to your /admincp/? That'd be a good start.
im not a retard ive installed this before... and no i dont have the tables there.

[Mijae]

Anyone has lots of games (800+) installed on your forum? If you do, mind PMing me your url so I can join your forum? :P

[plubius]

Who out there is qualified to say what is right or wrong for my site? Should hacks be pulled? Heck no! I just installed some hacks from over a year ago that never even got a response. Why? Because someone took the time to make something they thought would be enjoyable and it fit my site. Maybe one person does not think it should be there, but for me? I think they should all stay.

Opinions. Everyone has them. I respect that you have yours.

I will have something up soon that will allow game downloads. I have not had the time to do anything with it lately between work and home happenings, but it is almost ready. No, please do not ask for the games yet because they are not in a ready to go state. There are places out there to get games. A link will be posted when it is up.

While I agree some with what you have said, I would rather have the defunct hacks moved to a sort of oldies but goodies forum, install at your own risk.

I further think that it is the charter of vbulletin.org to help forum owners and leasees make the most out of their boards. Is this done with major addition hacks that have been abandoned?

Yes, I accede that John put out a good product, but it has run its course.

But the hack does what it says it does, i don't see whats wrong with it

Back when Vbulletin 2 was out Futereals Arcade was the main one and never had more than the installation games for a good year into me having installed it , no one complained back then

[Brandon Sheley]

Just change the styleid you're currently viewing. The templates install to the admin's currently selected style set.


i had the arcade working fine, and i added a new skin, and have all the settings set.. now the arcade.php? page on the new skin is blank,, how can i fix this ? whats the post im qouting mean ?

[Brandon Sheley]

nvm i got her worked out :) read the faq's :P
Great Hack and addons :nervous:

Answer: The installation script only installs templates to the style that
you're using at the time of the installation. It's simple to change.


In admincp/install_arcade.php
FIND:
__________________________________________________ _____
$styleid=$vboptions['styleid'];
__________________________________________________ _____

REPLACE THIS WITH:
__________________________________________________ _____
$styleid=X;
__________________________________________________ _____

[sirbutts]

Hmm...
Works fine for me.

[lcballa]

how do i uninstall so i can fix this problem... in admin CP i cannot add games, i dont get that option...

[rjordan]

You won't have this option (right now) with v3. You upload the X.game.php file to admincp and execute it directly. That is, of course, if I understand you correctly.

If I remember the definition of defunct, it means no longer in use or is inactive. Well, I think that the activity of questions asking for assistance, questions on use, etc. would go against this definition. There is still life in this and a lot of other modifications. I may be biased with this as I still use v3, but is that not the point? Sometimes a mod is made that is used at first and lost in the shuffle of new mods and then rediscovered. I scan these forums whenever I can and have only gotten back to about 2 years and am still finding stuff to add. Heck, I am starting to look at the vB2 mods because there are some great ones there that do not seem to have made it (officially) to vB3.

Moving to an oldies but goodies forum? Honestly why would vB.org maintain two seperate categories of same-type mods and having to constantly manage them and decide when they are not actively used any more? I know I would not want to do that!

Point here is why even bother with "retiring the old mods"? They are all useful in some fashion. If it is because they have people asking questions and the original author is not responding, maybe others will. If it is not useful for one person, that does not mean it is not useful for another.

Not trying to bust your chops here or anything, just an opinion.

[Mijae]

Ok, I have a small problem.

I just deleted all users with 0 posts, and half of them had #1 scores at games. Now I get an mysql error every hour due to that. Any quick way to fix this?

I hate upgating mysql everyday due to this.

Read back about 4 pages. I posted a fix that should work for you. Without a copy of the error, though, I cannot be sure. I believe the error you are seeing regularly is caused by search engines refreshing themselves looking for those IDs.

[danhaga]

Is there a way to make it so that only users with a certain number of posts can play in the arcade?

You know I know this thing is a resource hog and isnt really "good" code. Yes its free and yada dada but this guy is in no way supporting this. I see no differnce in this and say... vbindex. Good idea... even started out good... hey even works good... but isnt really supported and DOES have issues.

vbulletin forces you to go here if you need help with anything that is slightly off of factory code. Once your here its a free for all. I can relase some butchered up code and it can sit here for ever. why are there so many moderators with no moderating?

jokes.

[SteveMoody]

Is there a way to make it so that only users with a certain number of posts can play in the arcade?

The way i did this was to set up a usergroup called "arcade users" and restrict the arcade access to that group. You can then set up an automatic promotion in the admin cp so that any users that have made "x" number of posts are moved into the arcade users group.

Almost everything you put forward here I can agree with. What I do not understand is the moderation comment. I do not see what you quoted me as saying has anything to do with what you posted.

It is my opinion is no matter the age, there will still be use for a lot of (maybe not all) old mods. That can be proven by what I have found in 2 years of posts I have gone through and found plenty of either mods I put in or mods that gave me insight to do something similar.

Again, who out there is qualified to tell me what mods are good or not good for my sites? Not an attack, just a comment.

Now let's continue with this thread in what it was intended for, shall we? v3arcade discussions.

[jjdog2]

Just curious, does anyone know where to get the 'ninja turtles 2' game for vb pro arcade, i seen it on various forums but cant seem to find it here.

http://www.aslanlar.de/arcade.php < one of severalplces i seen with the game on vb pro arcade.

[Neil Roberts]

Does this work with the latest version of Vbulletin?

*Bold added to text in quoted matter by me.

Excuse me but that is what I thought I was doing. Just because the convo is con as opposed to pro for this hack does not mean it is not v3arcade related.

I think that the moderators here do not need any other qualification than to be able to make the assessment that a hack could damage a board or is useless. Other than that, the mods here can perform like any other mod by deleting spam, flame and other such corrective measures.

In the present case the v3 Arcade hack is just being kept around due to its past popularity, which has long fizzled out when the author shut off free access to games in an attempt to punish the whole for the sins of a few and when he no longer supports it. The fact that others have to support the hack only highlights this fact.

Is it appropriate to keep it around simply because it was once a good and popular hack? That is the 54 Million Dollar question here. The answer is easy: No. The rationale behind the answer not so easy but here goes: People spend close to $100 for a vbulletin lease and they will shell out almost $200 if they want to own one. The first thing they want to do for the most part is to attract members and to do this requires features. Photo galleries, arcades, RPGs and chat rooms. Of all of these, arcades are the most desired. I know...my members want arcades. The arcades get the most activity at my site and at some of my friends' sites. Where does one get an arcade? Here. Which one do they get? The one under the discussion. It's the one that I got. Now we have an arcade, we need games. The hack only comes with 3 or 4 games which members grow tired of and only come to arcade to see if newer games have been installed. Then it's back to here to see into getting more games. The official v3arcade link takes one to a page where we are told that because a few baddies made a mistake we all must do without.

:ermm:

[illusions]

any1 know where i can get more games to add ?

[rjordan]

Lots of stuff...

Agreed that if it is dangerous to the site a moderator should be able to come in and take care of business. If 6 months from now, however, I were to buy vB (already done, of course), I would want to be able to come and see what was out there before to enhance the default vB.

Is it appropriate to keep it around simply because it was once a good and popular hack? That is the 54 Million Dollar question here. The answer is easy: Yes. Now, this is my opinion. They were made because they were thought to be useful. Maybe they are not "current" because it worked well before or everyone has them. Everyone, that is, that already owns vB. What about the next guy that buyus it? Is it fair to say that he cannot get a hack that was made because a few people's opinions are "it has outlived its usefullness"? I do not think so.

I respect your opinion as I have my own. If you took previous posts as an attack, it was not meant so. I just hope that vB.org does not remove hacks so the next guy that wants to buy vB has the opportunity to decide on his own what is good for his site or not.

[rjordan]

any1 know where i can get more games to add ?
Soon! I am entering games into a database now for people to be able to download. A post will come with the link soon. Until then, maybe someone has a FTP already set up. Until I secure my site, I cannot post the link.

[RichieBoy67]

I was thinking of doing that too but is it legal???

[rjordan]

I do not see why not. As long as games are not being distributed that owners do not want distributed, then it should not matter. What I will be doing is allowing the uploading of all games for v3 and ibPro whether they are on the banned list or not.

The banned games will be password protected. Those who want games on the banned list will have to get a login ID and password from the game author. I will not provide them. I have already spoken to a couple of the game authors of banned games and have so far not run into any resistance. This way, if they give you the ID and password, you can get a copy of the game that works with v3 or ibPro (or whatever other game system is made for vB). Only game authors I have spoken to will have authorized games on the site available for download.

The domain is there. I just need to get a good anti-leech in place to prevent unauthorized downloads.

[RichieBoy67]

That is a cool idea... I was just planning on maybe uploading my collection of over 400 games and letting premium members download them if they choose to.... This is more of just an idea for me right now and nothing I am really planning yet... I have to much other stuff going on...

I wish you luck!! :)

Thanks i would appreciate that...its a very popular feature in my forum...members love it.. It would be great to add popular games such as pool ..chess ..scramble...

Does anyone know of the link where u can install 400+ games? someone gave me a link...but its no longer working now :( ...

[Pepsi Man]

Hey, I've got an issue that seems more like it's a certain users' computer's fault than the arcade hack's, but I was wondering if someone might have any idea as to what it might be. I haven't heard of this from any other users, but this one particular member will click on the Arcade link and only get a blank page. Status bar on whichever explorer he uses says done, and that's all that ever shows up is just a blank white screen.

Any thoughts?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

If you have more then 1 style installed on your board, then let those users try using a Style that you know is working with the arcade.

It could be that the templates are not (correct) installed for the Style they are using.

[Oblivion Knight]

The last time that I spoke to John a couple of months back, he was planning on a new version of v3arcade.. Though a pro version has supposedly been in the pipeline since the first release, so I don't know where that stands. As for the suggestion of removing it from vbulletin.org or moving it to an "inactive hacks" forum, I simply laugh at those who suggested it.. :p

v3arcade is a supported mod, perhaps not by the author but there are coders out there that continue to release addons and fixes for it. With any Arcade system, unless done in full cooperation with game authors (such as pnflashgames.com) there is going to be issues with copyright laws and such. I even offered to start up such a site some time ago, but nobody was interested and it never went ahead - and I don't have the time to spare anymore.

I'm sure people want something for nothing these days.. There are nearly 1,000 games available and people still want more? Just how much bandwidth do you want to eat up? ;)

[khaleel]

@khaleel

Think i read a bit back in this thread that this is an error you can get if a deleted member is on the topscorer list. Please read back for a solution.

[Nixpeiler]

hi,

on search for games i found many dead links or must register and pay for traffic and so on
therefore i want my collection make available i hope that is not forbidden here
there is 590_v3arcade_games it can have everyone but do not link to other sites (hold back you fair)

completely or also individually

have fun

[albibak]

The last time that I spoke to John a couple of months back, he was planning on a new version of v3arcade....
Have you got any informations about this versions ? She's comming soon ?

[Oblivion Knight]

No timescale was mentioned, but he did say that game installations would have tighter controls on them..

[albibak]

OK, thx for this information.
I will try to contact him, because I have some idea :)

Yup just go back to page 225 :D
