v3 Arcade - Games Arcade & Challenge System [vB 3.0.3]

[lttcoder]

Has anyone tried installing this on VB 3.5 RCx?

[evesve]

I have v3 Arcade on RC1.
Works fine.
Some problem with tours but I don´t need the tours.

v3arcade will currently not run on v3.5. I believe you have ibProArcade installed.

[TheMoose]

I'm running 3.0.8, but when I click on arcade nothing happens?

http://epsilon.asmallorange.com/~mobaynat/forums/index.php?/forums&styleid=4

Yes. Arcade.php is on my server?

[SupraT]

I can't seem to figure out where I have gone wrong. I check the file and see nothing wrong with edits..... when I replace with original functions.php file forums and arcade works with the exception of the images.



Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/clanspy/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 2018


I checked and rechecked all the mods to files and no errors.

One of the mods or coders give me some advise here please!!

[Kalipo]

can someone help please

im getting this error on all pages when hack is complete..

I modified every file except functions.php because I got an error with it when putting in one line of code at Line 3679:
$stylevar['imgdir_arcade'] = "images/arcade";

The error said:
PHP Parse error: parse error in d:\home\hnt22b162\forums\includes\functions.php on line 2018

Line 2018 is:
$debughtml .= " (<a href=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni(SCRIPTPATH) . iif(strpos(SCRIPTPATH, '?') '?')'?')'?')'?')'?')=== false, '?', '?','?','?','?','?','&amp;') .

"explain=1\">Explain</a>)<br />\n";

(Without changing functions.php) I was able to modify every file, add every template, install the arcade, modify the navbar, etc. but when I uploaded the modified functions.php, nothing would work at all and I'd get the same error, no matter what page I tried to open.

The only problem I have is the images on the Arcade do not show up because it doesn't know where the arcade images directory is.

Any suggestions?

I have same exact experience. Not sure what I am missing, but something isn't correct.

[HormZ]

When in Arcade and I click on Your Settings, this error message appears:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/rbruce/public_html/forumdb/profile.php on line 2665

How do I fix it?

:surprised:

[epaulmiller]

I have same exact experience. Not sure what I am missing, but something isn't correct.

One of my buddies noticed that all the images were looking for themselves in the root directory. I posted my images there and everything works fine now.

Right-Click on your images and look at the properties and see if yours is doing the same thing.

True, but the images shouldn't be there and creates a messy root. That direction needs to be there and worked in the previously installation of the hack. I would like to find out how to get it to work without the error and the images reside in the "image" directory and not root.

I agree, ......but until someone replies.....haha

Also, any new games you add, if you want to try this for now, make sure you put in the root and in the images. If someone has a high score, and you have that under their name when they post, it will point to the images folder, not the root.

I am subscribed, to your and mine, so hopefully someone will reply and we can fix it.

[PJSkiboy]

Can NOT believe I got all that installed correctly the first time. GREAT instructions. Thanks a ton!

Question on adding new games:

I understand where to upload the .swf files and the .gif files, but where does the .php file for the game go exactly?

[thenetbox]

"vb 3.5 almost" is out :D . hopefully "v3arcade almost" is here too :)

Hey guys, is there anyway to lock a game in the arcade so that when anyone clicks on it, they are unable to access the game? The reason I ask is because I want certain games locked until certain days of the week. Thanks!

People who have purchased the branding free option will be able to beta test it initially. Within a week, anyone will be able to test it when we've established there aren't any major bugs.

60$ :/

IMO,, 60 bux is cheap. The arcades keep 300+ people a day on my site.

I don't only care about the quantity but also of the quality of members and I have noticed that the worst ones are the ones that came cause they were attracted by the arcade...

Exactly! That is why IF I add an arcade to my new iste, it will be by invite only and not made public at all. We removed it from the old site because all we got were kids who complained about having to post to play in the arcade and when they did they were crap posts.

[John]

Well, $0 is cheaper - seeing as it is free after all, and we're just talking about branding-free and a few extra perks.

Then you are advertising to sell your hack and release it later in vbulletin.org?
That is not fair to other coder's if you are allowed to do this? I thought this was for free hacks only? I think it should be pay only to install not to have your to buy your arcade hack in beta??? Who would want the headaches in buying something that is not bug free?
Keep your hack free or do not advertise here unless vbulletin.org has change the way this site is going. I hope it is not going to make member pay for hacks now??

$60 is for a branding-free license. The hack is not for sale. Are people getting access to the beta version along with it? Yes, but what they're getting is a buggy version that isn't fit for public servers. It's for testing, that's why they call it a beta test. If I didn't give branding-free people access to the closed beta, would it be available on vBulletin.org now? Absolutely not. In fact, you'd be waiting longer because I'd be having to go through everything myself.

So LEAD_WEIGHT, choose which you'd prefer. A public release in a week with people beta testing it, or a public release in three weeks' time.

[Lea Verou]

Are they beta-testing it already or the beta isn't yet finished??

Like what other coder's seem to do is release it to members that can do the testing and report exactly what happen and which browser they were using? Why pay for testing when you can charge for installation and if members have error's you can offer them your professional installatoin fee? As you can see 4000 posts in your thread you would be happy in your new car. ;)

Because this is a closed beta. The public beta comes later, and then the final release. Most hacks go straight into a public beta or to final - but when you've got a hack that's likely to be installed on thousands upon thousands of sites, you want it to be bug free.

Just release the finish version on you site for Branding free members then later here. I just think you make more installing this to other and offering support for branding free members than here. If you will see that alot of ppl ask alot to fix thier errors and help in installing. Your time will be better spent creating newer version than relpying to all error's?

Release a few more hacks into the community, then I'll pay attention. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but the LEAD_WEIGHT contributed hack count currently stands at a big fat zero. ;)

That would be worse. Non-paying members should also receive support.
Lead, there is no need to think to realise that obviously releasing the beta to paying customers tempts more ppl to buy a branded free options. this is why he did that and obviously he wouldn't want to lose that money, no matter what we are telling. So we can't do anything about it, just wait for the final. :)

I do tutorials not hacks? So why flame me when I am only giving you suggestion?

I think that having you responding here does not help you in creating any future version. What you have @ your site seems to be good enough but also the support should be only offered @ your site instead of here. I just saying your time is worth money and member's here can support each other if needed. I still think you should offer pro. install as well.

This is probably the best hack out there, so if he wants to charge an amount then he's entitled to. Heck, he's offering it for free as well, so I can't see why you would be complaining.

If he wants to charge for the countless hours that it took to create v3arcade, so be it. I see no problem for paying a little for a hack as well liked as his.

Hello,

I have the following problem:

Users don't have permission to post comments even though all arcade permissions for the usergroup are set to "yes".
What seems to have happened is that users were able to insert a comment for the first 10 scores ever. After that, no permission.


Others have run into the same problem ->

It seems you do not know that I was making a suggestion and not complaining? You need to read all of the post before defending something that was not in the post. Please read all! :disappointed:

[John]

Huh? So you are saying that you tend to ignore people that don't have the knowledge to make a hack??? Bad for you...
No. Lead isn't suggesting anything, he's telling me what to do - he's implying that it's wrong for me to provide any sort of benefits to people who have supported the Arcade.

My comment was made to suggest this - if someone demands a hack author releases and tests their code their way instead of their own, I would like to see what gives them the right to do so.

A footnote to this: for the past 5 days I've had 4 hours of sleep each night, yesterday I worked from 2pm up to 11am through the night, coding the new Arcade non-stop. So when I come into this thread and see people like Lead telling me that it's wrong to do this and that and demanding everything under the sun, it's frustrating.

Also, I'd like to make a request that we stay on-topic from now on, i.e. questions/discussion regarding the 3.0.x hack.

Was on topic of your fee and it was only suggestion I was giving you? If you do not like my suggestion you can say so but not grill me for what I think since ppl ask you for upgrades, auto uninstall, remove & replace games, alphabetize list, game catagories and much more but then you think it is a demand instead of a suggestion :rolleyes: You are tired so I would not mention more on this and this is a suggestion for you to stay away from this forum until you are finish your product.

When people ask for add-ons, those are suggestions. They're to do with the hack.

Nothing you've said has been constructive in any way - that's the difference. If I was charging for the hack I'd by sympathetic. But seeing as it's a free release, I have no idea what your problem is.

[LEAD_WEIGHT]

People who have purchased the branding free option will be able to beta test it initially. Within a week, anyone will be able to test it when we've established there aren't any major bugs.

Extra support and access to early betas that are in development.

I was replying to your post as you started this and it seems you do not get it Lamo to flame people as well.
I hope you provide legitimate games with the author's permisson this time? As you do not seem to tell everyone that previous altered games that you made fit into arcade system had no author permission to be on people's forum.

[John]

You are thin skinned indeed if you call that a flame. And if you think that people are paying $60 to have access to a buggy release a few days before anyone else you're entitled to believe so, even if no-one else can make any sense of it.

I hope you provide legitimate games with the author's permisson this time? As you do not seem to tell everyone that previous altered games that you made fit into arcade system had no author permission to be on people's forum.
Research it, you'll find plenty on the license policies for the new release.

[LEAD_WEIGHT]

Release a few more hacks into the community, then I'll pay attention. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but the LEAD_WEIGHT contributed hack count currently stands at a big fat zero. ;)

Thin skin? Do you even know what you say to people or are you still in sleep mode? This discussion is going nowhere so I not going into it on this thread?

[theArchitect]

You are tired so I would not mention more on this and this is a suggestion for you to stay away from this forum until you are finish your product.I haven't used the arcade in the past, but intend to once it is released for 3.5.0 (assuming I can install it, for some reason my hacked board seems to be incompatible with an increasing number of new hacks). But I digress.

I am amazed that people (such as John, Kirby DE and all the other cool people who are too numerous to mention) put so much time and effort into releasing free (or at minimal cost) modifications.

It is the height of rudeness to criticize the manner in which these modifications are released.

Keep up the great work John and co.

If you want to just remove the phrase from your navbar, go to your admincp > styles and templates > style manager > <<>> > undo the part you edited there in the navbar template.

alright, thank you

and do you know how to remove the Register button from the navbar after someone has registered, cause it still says register even after youve registered

[wolfyman]

Then you have altered your template and removed one of the <if>s or something - I would start with a fresh template if I were you. Copy paste from your test forum. :D

[mcasteel]

I'm having a problem. I've gone through the installation instructions 4 times. I've edited the necessary files and uploaded them, inserted the arcade files into the proper folders, modified the templates. As soon as I've done all this, I try to log onto my message board and all I get is a white screen. Even when I try to run the install_arcade.php file, still just a white screen. Can anyone point me in a direction to go as far as something I might have missed that would cause this? I was very careful when editing all the files and I double checked everything. Thanks for any help you can offer. I'm currently running Vbulletin 3.0.8.

there is a big security hole in arcade. Problem is that everyone with HTML skills can create forms (or write a small script) to post variables directly to arcade.php. This allow to put score directly and to become champion...

You don't really give a sophisticated and desirable color to your aura by knocking somebody trying to protect an author's interest. Whether his pc is 100% clean or not is not the issue - he's putting a foot down on the clean side of the line and everybody should respect that.

Making a statement like you just did makes you look like a thief. Are you a thief?

[LEAD_WEIGHT]

What's your problem? I suppose all the programs in your PC are legal???!!?

I have nothing in my P.C. that I had not purchase. I can get support from Microsoft for my OS and Virus software come with ISP package. So what else I have is trail software, which is limited to 30/90 days. Unlike you that seems to admit to having pirate warez.

Read the post if you have a problem with thief pm me. Lame

how do i know wich one are illegal?
That easy to know, only neave.com games in v3 arcade games that come with the hack are the only one's that are okay by the author. All the rest are suspect like 'YetiGames' & 'mini clips' those are stolen flash from the site.

Like I said pm me if you have problems with thief!

Hello,

I have the following problem:

Users don't have permission to post comments even though all arcade permissions for the usergroup are set to "yes".
What seems to have happened is that users were able to insert a comment for the first 10 scores ever. After that, no permission.


Others have run into the same problem ->

They are?

[wolfyman]

As they should be. The hints and suggestions that the beta testers... ahem - PAID beta testers have had the arcade for weeks is nothing more than a not so subtle ploy to get money for the hack.

Don't get me wrong - if it came with a reasonable pricetag ($20 or less) I would pay for it. However, what they are doing here is just underhanded and devious.

I say - is you are going to go commercial with a product - do it. If it is a free hack - keep it free. Simple as that.

I think that the one-time fee as is is not unreasonable in the slightest. Very much worth it. It will be free to everyone (unless something happens in the future that has not been said). As for the private beta to those who have contributed, that is his right. He is showing his appreciation to those that have shown their support.

To say this is underhanded and devious is like saying the same for vBulletin. It is extra for having the branding-free option and he throws in extra support for those willing to pay for it. Me? I do not have it right now, else I would pay it.

Sharing on torrents "as they should be?" Sounds like supporting piracy to me.

My opinion.

My opinion.


You are correct in a few aspects, and I perhaps spoke to hastily in my state of irritation. I should clarify.

I don't support piracy, but I do believe in karma. I believe that the people who are premium members of his site probably post there, and not here, about their problems and joys. So what is the point, and how would the information come to be posted here, that this hack (that is so desperately wanted by so many people) is available to premium members?

I say it's a plot, and I believe it has not been releasedx to the community specifically so that the author could cash in on it. I'm all for capitalism, I don't work for free. But like I said in my last post: if you are going to go commercial with a product - do it. If it is a free hack - keep it free.

There should be no plots in a community that thrives on the opensource foundation that vbulletin.org does. It's share and share alike. Look at my posts, if you doubt me. I ask a lot of questions, I give encouragement where I can, and I help anytime I can.

If 3.5.0 v3arcade works great then it should be released, not being hinted about.

I pay a yearly fee for very little support from vbulletin, yet they insist on branding the living daylights out of my forum - do I think that's a little out of bounds? You bet! Is that the point? Not at all!

Oh, and I very much agree with you - a one time fee WOULD be worth it, without a doubt. We find ourselves in a slightly different situation than the one where that would apply, however.

Now let me ask you something - did you pay for premium access? Be carefull, this is a trick question. :D

[rjordan]

Now let me ask you something - did you pay for premium access? Be carefull, this is a trick question.
Premium access? No such thing that I know of to pay for on v3. Branding free should be the question. No to that as well. If I did have the spare right now, I would, though. I have to hold back for the other modifications/add-ons that ARE commercial that I have come to rely on when it was a free product (GARS is one of a few). Cheap on that one in particular? Yes... but I have almost $200 in domain renewals coming up for my 19 domain names. I think I will put it there first. :cross-eyed:

branding free, that's what I meant. I haven't had time to try GARS yet but I am the proud owner of the new GALS.

Anyway, I'm not here to discuss anybody elses business practices, I just think it's a bit shady how this one is playing out. I'm done here.

And I feel your pain on the domains, I get hit with that one almost every month. I almost choked when netsol told me they wanted close to a grand a few months ago...

After I threatened to leave they decided to (almost) match namecheap's price. Yeehaw :D

It didn't bother my website at all, even when I was running on a $3.95/month server package (with a wait_timeout of 20!!). If anything, the arcade increased my traffic quite a bit, but I never noticed any issues with it slowing anything down.

This is a great mod!

How old am I? 24.

I didn't handle the argument, I refused to take part in it. The reason you were banned was because on a site where a lot of great people were being supportive and helpful (suggesting new features, finding bugs, etc.), you were crapping in every thread - calling me "dishonest" and "unprofessional" because I couldn't physically stay awake long enough to provide you with the Arcade. If it was the other way around perhaps you'd realise how disheartening it is when you put in that amount of time for people who have nothing good to say about you.

[Lea Verou]

Crapping every thread????
In which thread I called you dishonest and unprofessional? I just said that that behavior SEEMED unprofessional. I wasn't complaining about the release date, I complained about the fault release dates. I would understand if you told that the release would be within a month but don't tell release dates that you can't stick to. It's bad for your paying customers too.
Please try to actually READ a post before getting mad and ban people like that (although your way of banning is funny - is this the usual banning method or I am the only one who got it? :p)

[Lea Verou]

Also telling me to "get the hell out of here" is cosidered not taking part in the argument?

[John]

It was apt. I’m not going to quibble about semantics, you know what you said and the ban was fitting. You implied I was dishonest, and that was enough. I was never dishonest - every date I gave I had the full intention of meeting, there was just too much that needed to be done before I was happy with something that I’d release to the public. You were basically saying that I knew I was never going to meet the dates when I released them. You can’t see what’s wrong about making accusations like that?

I said that this crossed my mind, I didn't say that I was certain. Re-read my post please. I just wanted an answer and I got a ban. Very kind and gentle of you.

No, you didn't mention it crossing your mind. You hinted at it a few times, and then "Why isn't John honest????" or something along those lines.

No, you didn't mention it crossing your mind. You hinted at it a few times, and then "Why isn't John honest????" or something along those lines.

I said in fact "I hope I'm mistaken but I think that..."
This implies that I wasn't certain of it and it just crossed my mind (or at least I meant that, english isn't my native language)

Perhaps we should take this to PM, this could go on for a long time.
In one post, you didn't say anything like that. The only content in the post was something like "why isn't John being honest". (I'm not talking about the "I hope I'm mistaken but I think that..." one)

[Lea Verou]

Also I said in that thread:
Even if I had the money to buy branding free I don't trust it anymore cause of all these fault dates...
It seems to me like he can't keep a promise (although he seems a good person, he just can't :()

Does this make you think I think you are dishonest on purpose???

[John]

Also I said in that thread:
Does this make you think I think you are dishonest on purpose???

The one I'm referring to was posted later on. Perhaps you didn't mean it the way you did, but the only want to interpret it was that you were saying I made up these dates and never intended to meet them.

[Lea Verou]

You're right, we should have taken it to pm long ago.
Check your pms :)

I really can't believe the attitudes of some people online nowadays. I consider each and every hack as a gift from somebody willing to put time and effort into things I probably couldn't (and certainly don't have time to) tackle myself. I see the same anywhere people are putting work into providing something for free, the trail of people criticising and moaning that it isn't good enough and it drives me nuts.

Some developers provide things free, some choose to charge others choose to release and abandon, some proivide free and charge for support... but in each and every case "you" have the choice to take this gift or not to.

You buy VBulletin you get a message board - end of. Thanks to the community you get to expand it into something so much more. Personally I thought the sites that were charging for games for the arcade were taking things a step further than I was willing to go. So it was simple - I didn't pay them and chose to keep snapping up the free releases that appeared every now and again.

With the new arcade that is coming I will take the free option to try it out then I'll decide if I think the extras that payed subs bring are worth paying for. It's quite straight forward - the choice is mine. If there was no free version it wouldn't change things a bit - the choice would still be mine to decide if I felt the added value of the arcade to my boards was worth the outlay.

Well done to John and everybody else involved for continuing to develop a good hack. I think you may have lost some ground during the time the site was down but reaction to date (ignoring the ingrates) seems to suggest it's going to be as popular as ever.

[Cueball]

Hi everyone,

I started installing what seems to be a wonderful hack, but ran into an error I am unable to work around. Was wondering if someone would be kind enough to lend some assistance. The error is as follows:

in the init.php file it says to replace:

'stylecache'
), $specialtemplates);

with

'stylecache',
'arcadesettings'
), $specialtemplates);

My init.php file looks like this:

// ## <ucs>
'stylecache',
'utt_store_act'
// ## </ucs>
), $specialtemplates);


Yes, I have the store hack installed, so I added this:

// ## <ucs>
'stylecache',
'utt_store_act'
// ## </ucs>
'arcadesettings'
), $specialtemplates);

But, I get a parsing error. Can anyone help ??
Please :)

Thanks in advance.

[Cueball]

Got it fixed ... Thanks anyway.

Hear Hear - well done John - thanks for all the effort you put in. If people get demanding just ignore them , take ur time man , theres more to life than getting stressed about an arcade.

[Dawnf1]

The line that controls the games per page as mentioned in a previous post is:

$perpage = 10;

Whatever that is set to is how many you should see unless something is wrong.

Hi
I changed this number to 50, as I prefer to see more games on one page, but I still see only 10 games on each page.
Any ideas?
:)

Also I see people have said that they have games in colums, and I've been searching this thread for an hour to find out how to do it, but it's either gone, or I can't find it. The link I found which looked like it went to a hack for this was dead.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Thanks so much. I hope you're still here, as now I'm stuck!


And edit "arcade_main" template around $gamebits
to change every newrest colspan="4" to your number of columns

Code:

<tr align="center">
<td colspan="4" class="thead">total games: $gamecount </td>
</tr>
$gamebits
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" colspan="4" align="left">
I don't understand what i'm supposed to do here. I've done the first bit, editing arcade.php and the main_games_bit template, but I'm really not sure what is meant by 'And edit "arcade_main" template around $gamebits
to change every newrest colspan="4" to your number of columns' or where to put that bit code.
Sorry. i'm kind of new to this :nervous: Everything I've done so far has worked though!

[Dawnf1]

Had another go, added that code around $gamebits, and changed the
$perpage = 10;
to 48, but something is wrong, the games are appearing in one big long horizontal row line, all of them, on one page, instead of 4 colums and several rows.

If someone can help I'd be really grateful!

[Dawnf1]

All fixed now, thanks, sorry for being such a dipstick.

Any 1 know why i always get this error:

Its ONLY on Snake, no other game i have gives this error.

Will this hack work on v3.5?

IF SO, then why, when I go to install it, can I not find this line in the admincp/index.php file?

if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))

in 3.5 you don't look for that.

[funinthesun]

This may be a dumb question but I'm trying to edit the files in dreamweaver but it doesn't seems to have a find function that I can use. Does anyone know if their is a quick way of finding code on dreamweaver to stop having to scroll through hundreds of code looking for the bit I want? Thanks :)

[funinthesun]

OK, the reason why my search function wasn't working is because the piece of code doesn't exit in my index.php file. I was looking for if (can_administer('canadminstyles')) but I can only find if (can_administer('canadminusers')). Do I edit this file instead or have I missed something completely? :confused:

[funinthesun]

I don't know if it's something I am doing wrong but I also can't find print_table_header($vbphrase['forum_viewing_permissions']); in the usergroups.php file. :confused:

[funinthesun]

Ah just realised that this is for vb 3.0.3 and I'm running on 3.5. Is this possible why it's not working? Sorry for asking repeat questions but I didn't want to go through all 298 pages on this thread!

[Flow Fusion]

don't use dreamweaver it messes up the coding. and you need to wait for 3.5 arcade to be released.

[Lea Verou]

I think it's ok to use dreamweaver 8 if you spend most of the time at the Code panel and you know what you're doing ;)

[Boofo]

I think it's ok to use dreamweaver 8 if you spend most of the time at the Code panel and you know what you're doing ;)

Not really. Dreamweaver has been known to change code in the functions.php in the past when that file is edited. It does it with other files, too. ;)

[funinthesun]

Ah right, ok then! Guess I'll have to wait for the 3.5 version to be released :(

[Lea Verou]

Not really. Dreamweaver has been known to change code in the functions.php in the past when that file is edited. It does it with other files, too. ;)

In the MX2004 edition, I had noticed that also, but in the 8 edition it seems ok :)

[funinthesun]

Yeah, I've got the MX2004 edition. My boyfriend has the 8 edition so I might use that instead then. Does anyone have a rough idea when the 3.5 version will be released? :)

I just installed it and yes I am getting the same thing....any word on a fix?

[DrewzR/T]

Found the problem.......For those with the permissions problem this is how I fixed it.....

CHeeKY, you made a mistake in file modifications.

in global.php, it asked you to find:
echo "End call of global.php: $aftertime\n";
echo "\n<hr />\n\n";
}

Instead, you searched for:
echo "\n<hr />\n\n";
}

The end result is that you've put the additional code in the wrong place, because there were two instances of what you searched for.

Check the installation text and try again. :)

In the Arcade CP you can reset all public scores but this doesn't seem to reset the HIGEST score or champion.
