I woulds say change your username and password to match that of the db long enough to install this and then change it back to what it is now. Problem solved. ;)

Whats up, I installed this tonight and it works great for everyone so far besides ONE of my users. I'm worried that there'll be more though... When he clicks on the Arcade link the page comes up white - so i told him to switch to the MAIN STYLE which is where i used the arcade code for the template - but for some reason when he switched - all the sudden he got this error:

Parse error: parse error in /home/illicitr/public_html/board/profile.php on line 2606

Anyone know why?

thanks for any help!

I just installed this hack. No problems while the installation. However, whenever I try to access the arcade link, it says I don't have permission to enter the forum. So I go to the usermanager and it's on 'yes' for me. Where did i go wrong?

Well I was messing with the files to translate them to my language, but now when you try to add a comment to a game that you just finish you get a blank page with the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_no_permission() in /home/webadmin/forospanama.com/html/arcade.php on line 1352

I think that I changed something in the template that it is related to the main arcade.php file, can anyone help me with this, Thanks.

I'm having a small problem, whenever I finish a game and it's loading to take me to the comments page, it just returns me to Arcade Home and it says this at the very top:

Warning: No content-type in POST request in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent in Unknown on line 0

Any reason why?

Can anyone help me with this problem? I just found that it ONLY happens when finishing a game and trying to comment. And also, it only records the score for the game in certain areas and not others

If you've made any custom usergroups, they will be denied access by default. Only the original usergroup numbers are given default access as was the case with my forum. Check your usergroup permissions (AdminCP - Usergroups - Scroll down to the Arcade Management).

I'm trying to order my games in alphabetical order. I've added this:


// Selects all games from the database
$result_allgames = $DB_site->query("
SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games $searchclause ORDER BY shortname asc
");


but the "ORDER BY shortname asc" orders them in descending order and when I use desc it does the same thing.

Any ideas guys?

Try capitalizing ASC. SQL commands are case sensitive in some usages.

ORDER BY title ASC

On mine, it only shows the first page with 10 games on it.

How can I solve this, so it shows multiple pages ?

I have a question about changing the way the arcade awards are displayed. How can I remove the text next to the award and instead just have the graphic show and when someone holds the mouse pointer over it and the tooltip pops up I want it to say "Tetris Champion // High Score:4000"

How can I do that? I have been looking through the templates and can't seem to locate where I need to make the changes.

Suggestion:

It can be cool if we can show the user best score (not the global hight score) for this game in the play template (at the right of the game). Will be a good motivation for people to beat there own best score...

Check your templates. When you have a white page you either don't have any templates in your current style or you did not install them correctly.

Thanks man, that was it. But it was not my fault. The auto installer is supposed to put in new templates for each style that i have right? Cause thats wat i see when it runs. However, it only adds to my default style, not the others. I just happened to test on a non-default template so i didnt see it work.

How do i migrate the "Custom templates" into the other styles that i have?

The installer is only made to put the templates into the forum's current Default Style. To import the templates into each style, Simply change the default style settings in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Style and Language Settings -> Default Style and run just Step 1 of the installer to put the templates into each style desired. Maybe in a future release he'll figure out how to install it into each style as a default template instead of custom.

Upload the files as directed. A Zip usually contains 4 files
thegame.php -> admincp folder
game1.gif -> images/arcade folder
game2.gif -> images/arcade folder
game.swf -> games folder

After the files have been placed appropriately, just run the game.php while logged in as an admin and you're done. That simple :). Make sure you delete thegame.php after you've installed the game.

[Edit] You figured it out while i was typing, LoL. I'll leave the post here anyways...

hey this mod is awesome..

i have a VERY SERIOUS concern over cheating on it though..

the following image has not been altered except for a black arrow made in paint and a lil text..

it's also not the game that he cheated, its the arcade system because he did this on every game on the list...

neways here is the picture

http://www.blizzardhacks.net/upload/images8/Arcade Cheated!.1082014566.jpg

Alot of my members have voiced concern's over this, since it's obviously making the point system useless now..

**EDIT

that aint my board..i kno says someone cheated MY board, but woteva..just a board i goto..and happen to be friends w/ the amdins and ++++..

and erm, i got arcade installed on MY ACTUAL BOARD..so yea could easily happen to any of us..

Just a small addon one of my members requested earlier.


Description:
All this does is add two stats to your Arcade's main page:
1) Total number of games played.
2) The length of time spent playing them.

There is only one file edit, and one template edit for this hack.

This will add one query to your Arcade homepage. No others. Just that one.
regarding the mini stats addon: If you prune scores I believe it removes the total time playing? Can this be changed?

Packet InterNet Groper is a program and UNIX command that helps testing and debugging network and/or Internet connections. An 'Echo' command is sent to a specified computer and then waits for a response. The result is a report that displays the success or failure, usually a report back of a timed response in seconds, of the intended action.

Ping also works in Windows through TCP/IP. In DOS/WINDOWS, at the DOS prompt, enter PING and the IP address or the domain name of the server you want to test. If you get replies the server is up. If not, it may be down or there may be a problem between you and the server (such as a downed phone line). To test this, perform the command TRACERT with the same IP address or domain name.The arcade takes the PING for all sessions and shows the average ;).

That's the part I don't understand ... why? For Bob or Fred playing Space Invaders... why does it matter to them? Even for me as the webmaster, what do I gain by seeing these figures? Not being a smart ass here, it's just that I don't understand the reason why ping average is included in the arcade stats.

Not being a smart ass here, it's just that I don't understand the reason why ping average is included in the arcade stats.If the ping is amazingly high or amazingly low, there's a certain probability that the user cheated in some way.. I guess it's just handy to have the evidence in front of you if you suspect someone.

The ping doesn't get shown to anyone but the admin anyway.. :)

I'm betting it's not an error at all. I had problems with Jewels but once I reloaded it, the problem went away. Anyway, my money is it's all based on your servers bandwidth and cpu speed.

I've been monitoring my server (local, not hosted by someone else) with a full t-1 line (1500kbps up/down) and I have no problems running over 70 of the games and a busy forum with over 30Gb of downloadable attachments and PhotoPost Gallery files. The biggest drain is cpu usage. It was banging my cpu up to 100% at times. Once I moved it from a 1.7GHz server with 1Gb ram to a 3.2GHz server with 2Gb ram it's been perfect!

I think John said he's working on a release that isn't so cpu intensive, but don't quote me.

Since I run an adult board, adult games would be nice.
I agree, although my board is not of an adult nature it has some adult content, so adult games would go over great.

At
admincp/index.php
the search and replace code doesn't exist there.

if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))

isn't in the file.

For
construct_nav_option("General Settings", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=general', '<br />');
the lines closest to that start out differently....

makenavoption("Download Set","template.php?action=downloadset","<br>");

Am I using a wrong version of the board, 3.0.1, or an older version of the hack?

Check your templates. This is because you need to add the arcade templates to each style on your forum. When you have a white page you either don't have any templates in your current style or you did not install them correctly.

(No, I havn't got it working on my site yet.)

v3 Arcade is a wonderful hack and brings a new alternate life to the forums. With challenges and competitions.

The problem I face though is members sign up and only play the games. Where they have no activity in the forums. So what I'd like to do is find out about limiting play time.

First off I'd like to define that if you are under so many posts you can't play in the arcade period.

Also... people who are in a specific usergroup only get a certain alottment of time per day.

Maybe like an if / else statement for usergroupid

if
/* 30 minutes playtime daily */
usergroupid playtime => 1800
display $arcadetimesup

else

(regular arcade code)

I am not sure if this would require a cron job or not. Furthermore... being a PHP Novice I don't know exactly what would need to be edited and defined. If I could get some help with this I'd be greatly appreciative.

SnowBot
04-24-2004, 07:00 PM
the first part is easy. I have 2 usergroups, the first is the default Registered Users. I set there perms so that they can see the arcade but not play in it. The other usergroup is Arcade Users. I have set up a promotion for the usergroup Registered Users so that when they hit 15 posts they get moved to Arcade Users usergroup via a cron job. Simple but effective.

lasto
04-24-2004, 07:16 PM
yeah but is easy to spam to get 15 posts then they dont need to post again to carry on in the arcade which i find a lot of memebers aint doing now so i have laid off adding new games.

Very good made hack. (Only bad thing is, that it is not using phrases ;) ) *installed*


But one point I can't manage is this:

I would like to show in the "who is online" which game a forum-user is actual playing. I did not manage it to extract / use the parameters do=play and gameid=x

Has someone an idea how to realize that ?

Sounds like you're describing a vb2 admin/index.php file. vb3 files appear to have a header at the top with the licence number.

At
admincp/index.php
the search and replace code doesn't exist there.

if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))

isn't in the file.

For
construct_nav_option("General Settings", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=general', '<br />');
the lines closest to that start out differently....

makenavoption("Download Set","template.php?action=downloadset","<br>");

I've just installed like 9 skins. How do I get the arcade templates onto each style? I ryun the aracde isntall script, but I only went as far as to "Add New Templates," after that it prompts me to "Apply Database Changes." Should I do that as well? Because afder "Adding New Templates" nothing happens...

MindTrix
04-25-2004, 02:50 PM
If i remember correctly you need to edit your vBulletin Options and change the default style to one of the new ones, then run the first part of the install script which will do the templates. and it will add it to the style.

Basically the installer only adds the templates to the default style, so you need to keep doing this over and over for each new style you add

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

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

Every second the chopper is in the air, you gain roughly 30 points. Someone who can dodge sticks for a minute will have 1800 points give or take a few. Basically your champ was at it for around 2 minutes...

When you complete the game tetris you get sent to a page where you get access denied (for admin only included in config.php I guess). What page is this and why is this set up this way? Because users who finish the game and get sent to this page will not get their score saved.

You should have a small navigation box at the bottom right corner of the games list. To change the amount of games shown, find in arcade.php (around line 341):$perpage = 10;
Change 10 to a large number to show them all on the main page.

this might not answer your question, but what you can try is edit your install_arcade and delete waht is giving you the error,
I had trouble with the same thing,, ha dto reinstall and was gettin a similar error but with gamechallenges error came up, so i deleted the whole step 2 in the install_arcade than changed step 3 to 2.
also made the mistake of uploading the wrong files(before edit) just not thinkin and forgot where i had put the edited version

They are not difficult to remove but I agree... some sort of remove function would round this whole package out nicely. I've removed several games I didn't care for by deleting the two graphic files and the game itself and then searched my database for both the game name and game ID.

Alright, I just got back from this hacks officialy forum and I tried to post my problem there but I keep getting a "you don't have premission" error when I try to post. Anyways, I've had this hack installed for a couple weeks now and its a great addition to my community, BUT ever since I installed it a handful of my users (40-50 people) have reported that they get a "no premission" error when they try to access the forum. Now they have the same premissions as the rest of the users, but for some reason they can't see the arcade.

I have no clue how to fix this cause I've looked through all the usergroups and everyone has permission to view the arcade. If someone could explain why this is happening please let me know as I would like EVERYONE to view the arcade since its a fun way to kill time.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

I have tried to install the 1.01 version of this Hack. All seems ok but I dont have access to the Arcade games. When I click on ARCADE in the navbar the Board says that I dont have permission to access the page. I double check the init.php and globel.php with no result. All seems ok.

What is going wrong or where should I search for possible errors ?

I had the same problem and had to figure out that you should edit your phpinclude_start and phpinclude_end templates and alter it this way:

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'arcade')
{
<insert content of template here>
}

Ah I hope this works as it's the exact problem I've got atm. I'm running the latest vbportal as well so I'm hoping its not interfereing with it...but my forums also under https :S I like to make things difficult...Doh!

argh! no joy! it just wont submit scores I'm baffled the whole thing is correct up to the score bit..the daft thing is it registers that I've played it because i become the high score holder with a zero score! seems as if non of the information gets over.

any help now would be appriciated.

UPDATE!

It doesn't seem to work under internet explorer but when I access the site via good old mozilla firefox it works!!! so there you have it use firefox ;). no seriously though thats a start any other information would be appricaited.

I've found that there's a huge disadvantage having the add-on games located on another forum.

I signed up to the v3arcade forum over 48 hours ago to download a few games, however, I'm still waiting for the administrator to validate my account.

I don't see why the administrator has to validate the account, considering it has already been confirmed via e-mail. This issue is drawing away from the excellent hack that you've created.

Hi.. I'm halfway through the install to the part where you have to edit templates. but when I go to my adminCP to edit templates it gives me the following:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /home/pixelki/public_html/forum/includes/init.php on line 507

Which is where it does all the specialtemplates bit. I've checked this loads of times and there are no commas, brackets or anything missed out. I have the shop installed as well which has something that goes here too, but it worked fine until adding the first step of modifying init.php. I've also reviewed global.php and all of those file edits are done correctly. Any ideas anyone?

All people concerned have the appropriate permissions in the arcade

<if condition="$post['arcadesettings'] & 4 AND $post[userid]!=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $bbuserinfo[userid]!=0">

Because this has nothing to do with this hack. If you would have placed all code in the corresponding places and you did not alter the main structure of the layout for your vb ( table, tr, td, etc ) then it would work fine. Your problem looks like having one /td and/or /tr to much.

Pseudomizer were do you think i should check first to find out why it's doing that on the page?

I would go into the templates and insert in one after the other <Table tag a border="1". Then you can see where the table fits.

My guess would be that one table will end just before the arcade stuff and instead of having the arcade stuff in the table you have a second end of </Table which should not be there. But this is "a finger in the air" guess.

Hey, guys, the hack is great. I have a minor problem, howerer.

You know how some games have a maximum score or how you can tie someone's score? Well, apparently, the script does not award the person who is fastest. For example, let's say you get 300 points in a game in 30 seconds and you win the championship. Someone else comes along and gets 300 points in 29 seconds but you are still champion. It's unfair, but like I said, it's only a small issue.

Hi WeForums,

i would say that this is due to having bad games which should be modified from the original author. I had multiple games which had a score limit and i removed them all. There is no fun if 10 members have the highest high score and the member who created the last high score is number one.

My 2 cents on this.

Cheers,

right just for anyone whos interested heres an "issue" with aracde / Internet explorer.

If your running your site under https (like I was) then during the score submission it would hang and a zero score would be submitted. Run it on firefox and the hack works 100%. Probably something simple but I don't have time to look at it. Just be aware of it if your running https.

I have a question about pruning. If I turn it on, does it remove the high scores for each game if they are x days old?

I believe it's supposed to but I've never been able to get it to work on my board. I have it set to 7 days yet the original scores from several months ago are still listed. The problem seems to be in the cron script because if I run it manually it does what it should but when the scheduled time comes up nothing happens. Unfortunately I do not know enough about it to diagnose the problem.

Will this hack work with other hacks installed? That is the only thing that I can think of that is causing me problems. Currently I have the following installed

Ushop & ucash
Timeslip database
welcome panel v1
Prevent Doubleposting

Is there a different way to be installing this than what i stated above?

Thanks again
Charlie

I have no idea if this is it but have you made sure there are no lines below the closing ?>

Yeah, no lines. Just did exactly what the instructions said. Did it twice in fact. Its a good thing i backed up all the files that i edited. As soon as i put the backed up files back, good to go, just no arcade. That why i had wondered if this would work with other hacks installed. Thats the only thing that i can think of that would cause a problem. Everyone else seems to have no problem getting it to work.

Does it work with 3.0.1 ?

Yes, I'm running it with 3.0.1 with no problems. In fact, if you look at the hack title it says it's for vB 3.0.1 ;).

Is their a way to change the url for the images cause they don't show from my images/arcade folder but they do show from my public_html folder but this is just a mess.

FlowFusion - I can't remember whether you specified the image path on installation, but if you take a look at the 'arcade_main_games_bit' templates in AdminCP, you'll see the following code:

<td align="center" valign="center" width="60" height="60"><a href="arcade.php?do=play&gameid=$game[gameid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_arcade]/$game[stdimage]" border="1"></a></td>


You can see that it's using $stylevar[imgdir_arcade]/$game for the game icons for example. Changing that there would probably work but maybe somebod else knows exactly where the imgdir_arcade variable is defined?

Also another long shot - are you using mulple styles?
