Arcade Pass Hack v3!

[Link14716]

11/09/04 - Installer upgraded, nothing more.

11/05/04 8:28 PM EST: I botched the release because the important files "mysteriously" disappeared. I have updated the attachment.

11/04/04 9:00 PM EST: Changed to the Hack Installer System for installs. Just upload all the files in the upload folder and run forum/install/hack_install.php, chose Arcade Pass v3 and follow with the instructions. Should make a great replacement for the defunct HTL and the crappy TXT installer.

This is the Arcade Pass Hack v3. While it takes the name and feature set from it's predecessor, the Arcade Pass Hack 2.0 for vB2, the code has been improved, dependancies for the store removed, and the code completely re-written on vB3. The same code was then back-ported to vB2. Right now, the Arcade Pass Hack v3 supports both vB2 and vB3, and vbProArcade Beta 2 (for vB2) and the Arcade v3 (for vB3). When new versions of the arcades are released that have significantly changed code, another version of the Arcade Pass Hack v3 will be written for it.

The vB2 version contains a txt-based install as well as a vbHacker install, and the vB3 version uses the included Hack Installer System. Chose the appropriate vB version, then the appropriate arcade, and then chose the appropriate install and go from there. The arcadepass.php in the vB2 and vB3 folders must be uploaded to the root forums directory.

--------------------------------------

What does this hack actually do, you ask? It allows you, as an administrator, to force people to either buy an arcade pass for a set amount of points (point system not included - you'll have to install one from another hack and then configure this hack to use it) or make them pay a set amount per game (setable per game), or make them pay only if they do not have an arcade pass.

This hack also features a jackpot. First, a default jackpot (amount configurable) is set up, and after each game played, the cost of the game plus another amount (configurable per game) is added to the jackpot. If the user ends up with a high enough ranking (minimum ranking configurable), then they'll get a piece of the jackpot - if they are in 3rd place they'd get 1/3 of the jackpot, if they were in 50h, they'd get 1/50th of the jackpot, etc. Once someone takes 1st place, they default jackpot is entered back in and the lucky winner gets ALL of the jackpot.

This hack currently supports the following arcade/versions:

vB2:
vbProArcade Beta 2

vB3:
v3 Arcade (1.0)

Screenshots below.

[Link14716]

EDIT: Screens moved to first post.

[PixelFx]

kewl, I'll looking forward to this when Futureal finishes his vb3 pro arcade :) thanks for working on this again :) I clicked install, even though I'm waiting for futureals proarcade.

[Link14716]

Yeah, right now there are two versions, but when futureal releases the new vB2 version and the vB3 version, it'll have 4... that'll be fun to maintain. ;)

[Fi_InCogNiTo]

Seems to work fine.

*clicks install

[Fi_InCogNiTo]

If I set it to 0 points needed to play a game, it still doesn't show the play game link. I disabled the acrcade pass option and enabled pay per play in admincp.

Enable Arcade Passes? No
Enable Pay Per Game? Yes

And if I set Arcade Pass cost to 0, it still says "You do not have enough points for this." when I click it.


EDIT: Another thing:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 4:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE user SET uttpoints=uttpoints+505 WHERE userid='1'
mysql error: Unknown column 'uttpoints' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

Date: Monday 01st of March 2004 09:10:09 AM
Script: http://www.pc-nerd.com/arcade.php

Happens when you finish a game and it goes to enter the score on the scoreboard. Even when the master switch is off.

EDIT: The above problem was solved by doing this query:
ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `uttpoints` BIGINT( 15 ) NOT NULL ;

However, even though my jackpot was 500, it gave me 555. And after I played the game, the jackpot reset to 525.

[Link14716]

As I said, this does not come with a point system, you must have one already installed and configure the settings to use it.

Not sure what is causing any other errors, though.

[PixelFx]

does this work with yoshi's store system? or can you add support for it, once he's release 4.0 ?

[Link14716]

It works with any point system that has its point field in the user or usergroup table. So yeas. (Although it integrates more closely with the uTT Store Hack that me and Zachery will be releasing sometime soon.)

[gmarik]

Interesting add-on, if only my vB3 arcade installation would work, something does not fits ....

[Red Blaze]

I posted this in the wrong vb Arcade Pass Hack (the vb2 version). Here's my... minor annoyance rather than a problem:

Installed it and works great. Just a question though. Why does it leave the comments saying
// [Start Arcade Pass Hack blah blah blah
// [End Arcade Pass Hack blah blah blah

For all edit changes in adminarcade.php? The coding works great, no damage done, but it leaves the comments there.

[Link14716]

I posted this in the wrong vb Arcade Pass Hack (the vb2 version). Here's my... minor annoyance rather than a problem:
It's one bad thing about the HTL, it doesn't let me disable those goddamned comments.

Search for those comments in arcadeadmin.php and remove them.

[Red Blaze]

Well, I didn't really have a problem with the other HTL compatible hacks I installed. I'll remove them anyway.

[Link14716]

Because the other HTL compatible hacks didn't modify code that was being echo'd. ;)

[PixelFx]

any eta on your point system? :) *twitches a bit more*

[lasto]

looks good but will wait for a store hack to be releashed like everyone else is :)

then will have this :)

[Zelda-King]

The arcade_main_games_bit template edits don't appear compatible with vB3 Gold. I get that 'parse problem but you can continue if you want' prompt.

[James Collins]

I dont get that, but what I do get is that when someone wins the "Jackpot" the "Jackpot" defaults back to 500 for me - then it goes to 255, then 500 again :o

Which part defines the score, maybe I left something out? This was after setting them all to 20 in the CP first off.

Either way, nice first addition for the shop - even if this did come before your shop :)

[Zelda-King]

Well I got that template working. I have Arcade Pass working just fine with the uShop from what I can tell.

[James Collins]

Do you get the jackpot problem I have?

hmm, maybe I need to install again - will wait for your input :)

[dstruct2k]

My jackpots are turning into HUGE decimal numbers... (Probably from people coming in third and dividing by 3) Squall, any ideas for a fix?

(My idea: X by 100, floor, ? by 100) :)

[dstruct2k]

ALTER TABLE `games` CHANGE `arcadepass_jackpot` `arcadepass_jackpot` DECIMAL( 20, 2 ) DEFAULT '0.00' NOT NULL
This query fixed the super-long decimals, and made it so that the jackpots ALWAYS have 2 decimal points, like a real dollar amount.

Change the underlined number 2 to how many decimals you want and run the query to fix long decimal values. :)

[Leah]

There seem to be a problem here.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to fix this?

[James Collins]

Does anyone get the Jackpot to work after it has been played a few times. Like I said I reset the Jackpot to 50, but it always goes back to 500 again after someone has "won" the jackpot.

500 is far 2 much imho to start off with...

Hello,

I am trying to do a manual install on vb3.0 after installing links' store hack. Unfortunately I ran setting.sql before settingphrase.sql and now I get ;

Error

SQL-query :

INSERT INTO `vb3_phrase` ( `phraseid` , `languageid` , `varname` , `text` , `phrasetypeid` )
VALUES ( 6472, 0, 'settinggroup_arcadepass', 'Arcade Pass Hack v3 Settings', 5000 )

MySQL said:

#1062 - Duplicate entry '6472' for key 1

How can I fix this situation ?

Thanks in advance .

[Leah]

Ok, now I got the templatething working. But the arcade pass doesn't stop people from playing if they have the URL to the game or find it on the highscore.

Or have I missed something here?

[Cyricx]

If they don't have the pass they pay the "cost fee" I believe, if they do have the pass, they don't have to pay the "cost fee". At least, thats how I'm understanding it =/

[msimplay]

I dont get that, but what I do get is that when someone wins the "Jackpot" the "Jackpot" defaults back to 500 for me - then it goes to 255, then 500 again :o

i have a similar problem where i set the jackpot to 100 and set the jackpot increase to 0 yet it still increases

[lasto]

so does this hack not work proper with the Ustore then ?

I get the same problem. Link, any help here? Can we continue the install if we get that error?

[NameWolf]

Well I was trying to manually delete the entries and I just realised that entry 6472 is used by another entry that that does not belong to Arcade pass. None of the IDs are actually free. They are all used by previous hacks or entries.

NW

[Seany]

So what exactly did you do to get it working? Or did you get it working? Also, which entried do I delete if I wanted to get rid of it? Thanks.

[NameWolf]

Well I did not get it working because I did not delete the entries 6472 and above. All the IDs were also taken up to around 13500. I wonder if we can change them and assign higher ids such as 14000 etc. Link ?

NW

[Davey-UK]

When clicking on the buy an arcade pass link, it just takes me to page unnavailable, but when i buy one in the shop it works fine.


When i hover over the buy pass link above the avatar, it says arcadepass.php as the link, which i have uploaded to the correct place.

Any ideas? :o

Ive sussed it out!!...

You cannot have the pass enabled in the Utt store, or it seems to conflict with the arcade pass hack

[msimplay]

yep find

header("Location: uttstore.php?do=a&aid=$action[actionid]");


and change it to


header("Location: ushop.php?do=a&aid=$action[actionid]");

[Seany]

Well I did not get it working because I did not delete the entries 6472 and above. All the IDs were also taken up to around 13500. I wonder if we can change them and assign higher ids such as 14000 etc. Link ?

I wanna remove the queries I performed up and till the point I got that error. Any way I can do that? Thanks.

It seems to be working fine for me after running the query dstruct2k provided. But I'm wondering if there is a way to have a notification when someone wins part of the jackpot telling them how much they have won. Also, maybe a list of recent jackpot winners similar to the "latest arcade scores" box.

[lasto]

msimplay cheers m8 so it dont work to an extent where it forces people to pay to use the arcade as thats all im bothered about at moment as im fed up with people parking thier behinds in the arcade all day and totally by passing the board.

Wait till tournament arcade comes along LOL will be nobody posting :)

Wait till tournament arcade comes along LOL will be nobody posting :) yeh its a great addition i've used the query but it doesn't fix the jackpot fluctuating

i wanted mine to be at 100 jackpot however it always defaults back to 500 and then goes doo lally with the increase on winning the jackpot even tho i didn't set one and at times i've tried setting it to 0 but this seems to have no effect

this seriously needs to be fixed

[sabret00the]

is this the one already included in the ushop or another one?

[msimplay]

theres not one included in ushop this is the only arcade pass hack available for vb3

[Zachery]

Its not included in ushop, however the two work together :)

so how comes i got the action included in my ushop then :confused:

[msimplay]

am not sure on that one but my guess is that the shops ready to intergrate with the arcade pass hence the settings being their already

but i'm guessing to finish the hack to work with the points u have to download this hack and install it
but don't take my word for it coz am not too sure
wait for the official word lols :p

Basiculy we left it as a default action, it can be turned off or removed if you dont want to use it, however if you do want to make use of it you would need to install this hack as well.

[sabret00the]

oooh goody, i'll isntall tomorrow then :)

[sabret00the]

installed btw :)

[Seany]

What about the prob me and LoneWolf or whatever are having? Any idea how we can fix that? Cause I really want this mod to work.

[Cyricx]

In your vboptions there is a section for arcade and you set what the default would be too.

I'd like to see this have an implementation that let's people bet money in challenges.

[teksigns]

my board is setup with 3 groups .....

regular members
donators1
and donators2
and staff

i would like to make it so that

staff, donators1 , and donators2 groups all can play arcade without having a arcade pass.

i would like the regular members still be required to buy pass.

can this be done ?

[Lostnode]

How about addind Jack pots to the Arcade Challeneg feature... When you challenge somoen you can wager 300 points, if you lose, you lose 300 pts to your apponent, if you win, you get 300 points of his/hers...

[weaver]

Well my arcade pass has expired but I'm still able to play games. What is the fix for this?

if u have installed a new game make sure u set the points for that game
ie the jackpot amount and
cost of play

[gwhooooey]

Is that definately the problem? I think I did that, might have been with another game that was already installed though. I undid the template/file edits because of this...so if that's definately the problem...I'll re-do it.

Thanks

until i set the cost and jackpot so i think it is that but i'm not totallly sure because i cant remember the query but it looks like the same one

the features are good but with so many problems ppl got I can't risk my board installing it along with UCS.

but then again this hack has been labelled beta

[insanctus]

I have yet to have an issue with this hack, I guess I am lucky

[msimplay]

I have yet to have an issue with this hack, I guess I am lucky
ur forums don't seem to have jackpot set thats probably why u haven't had a problem

[gwhooooey]

Okay, seems to have worked.

What happens when users run out of points/cash? Does it just show a no permission page?

If so...can somebody make it so it goes to a page that says you don't have enough points to play, you can get points by doing either of the following things...and then have it show the things that have been enabled, such as how many points per thread made, per reply, referal etc.

Could anyone do that?

[gwhooooey]

Just signed in as a user with 0 posts and it says you need more points to play. It would still be good if you could get it to say how to get the points, and the amount you get for doing such things

[InsaneContender]

Does the pass expire over a period of time?

[PixelFx]

Bit of a Fix for your starting points in the arcade:

up this query on your forum



UPDATE games SET arcadepass_cost='25', arcadepass_jackpot='100', arcadepass_increase='5';



note you can change the base cost from 25 per game to what you want, and jackpot from 100 to what ever ya want.

hope that helps a bit :)

i fixed it :

i changed the line in arcade.php

from:

$addtojackpot = ($game['arcadepass_cost'] + $game['arcadepass_increase']);


to:

$addtojackpot = $game['arcadepass_increase'];

its was adding the cost of the game to the increase setting then adding
it to the jackpot .......

[Bigwrenn]

I have one small problem, after installing everything and running the queries I still don't have a Arcade pass hack option in the admincp. Also the arcade will still let you play games even with the price set at 1000. It's kind of weird, games that have been played have a link to play them and games that have not been played do not have a link! Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bigwrenn

EDIT- I now have the Arcade pass hack options in the admincp but still have problems with the game links being active on certain games!

[deathemperor]

Bigwrenn do you have UCS installed ?
nice work teksigns, I am going to install this and UCS at a time.

UCS? If you mean a points system, yes.

go to vbulletin options and in the listbox there should be an option to set arcade pass

change that value to the same as u want ur games
that is the 500 that it keeps resetting to

Thanks! That was very simple to fix. I don't know how I missed it since I had just changed the price of an arcade pass last week. :ermm:

[007]

It would be cool if there was an option for FREE PLAY mode. People who chose this mode won't see the price or the jackpot, since they couldn't quality for it. If you wanted a shot at the pot, you'd have to pay for a ticket. How hard would this be?

A member suggested today receiving an email to inform them when their pass expires.

to expand on this although a great idea
it would be better if they were allowed to choose what kind of notification they recieved for it ie checkbox in usercp / options
Notification of Arcade Pass Expiration
Pm
Email

its a checkbox so if they don't check anything it would mean no notification at all

[cashpath]

can anyone help me possibly fix this... I had about 8 games installed.. I installed this... everything works except that... it does not charge people to play the games... And yes I do have that option set to charge in the cp

[cashpath]

I am thinking that this should happen when the prson clicks to play the game... it should subtract the points from their account... and I just can't find that in the file edits (arcade.php) anywhere??

I haven't seen anyone else complain of it not working so it MUST be in there.... so if anyone knows please at least tell me which edit it is that controls this??

Thanks!!

[cashpath]

anyone?

[msimplay]

try in the game settings and also turning the arcade pass on

[cashpath]

No thats not it.. could someone tell me the line that in the file edits that controls this please?

ok.. at first I thought I had left something out.. now I have been scouring my code to find this part and I think I finally find it.. now this sucks, cause it IS in my code... which means it is not a simple fix that I just missed it...

I am wondering if you could further explain how the jackpot works. As I understand the above text, if someone places 1st place in a game, they get the jackpot automatically? Or am I wrong? Is it on a "Time-Delay" ?

HoC they have to get first to get full jackpot

but it is configurable to allow for example the top 3 to obtain a prize

Yep. Check my signature. :)

[Littlebit]

I've noticed that all you have to do is aquire the amount of points needed for a pass in order for the arcade games to become enabled for use. But you don't actually have to buy the pass.
Did I mess up part of the install?

[Littlebit]

Kal, is my above posts issue a known bug?

[Holidazed]

OK, so here is my question. If my user buys this pass, is it a lifetime pass or does it expire in xx hours or xx days?

[Littlebit]

I user doesn't have to buy the pass, but just needs the amount of points a pass costs to play the games and when a user who didn't buy the pass loses the amount of points required to buy the pass, database errors occur each time that user attempts to play.
Is anyone else having this issue?

[Holidazed]

OK, so here is my question. If my user buys this pass, is it a lifetime pass or does it expire in xx hours or xx days?
Is anybody going to answer my question?

[netrosearch]

How long is the arcade pass good for? It is good forever, or for a set period of time?

[netrosearch]

I have now lost the ability to use my Remove Game hack. Can someone help me please? Here is where I think the problem is...

This is the code needed for the Arcade pass:

$menu .= "<tr onClick=\"document.getElementById('id').innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."id;document.getElementById('descr').innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."descr;document.getElementById('title').innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."title;document.getElementById('cost').innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."cost;document.getElementById('jackpot').innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."jackpot;document.getElementById('increase').innerH TML = ".$games[shortname]."increase;document.getElementById('showaward').inne rHTML = ".$games[shortname]."showaward;document.getElementById('challenabled'). innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."challenabled;document.getElementById('playpanel'). innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."playpanel;document.getElementById('active').innerH TML = ".$games[shortname]."active;document.getElementById('netplay').innerHTM L = ".$games[shortname]."netplay;document.getElementById('removegame').inne rHTML = ".$games[shortname]."netplay;document.getElementById('uptbut').innerHTM L = ".$games[shortname]."upbuttext;document.getElementById('categorytitle') .innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."categorytitle;\">

Here is the code before the arcade pass hack

//$menu .= "<tr onClick=\"document.getElementById('id')
.innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."id;document.getElementById('descr')
.innerHTML = ".$games[shortname]."descr;document.getElementById('title')

How long is the arcade pass good for? It is good forever, or for a set period of time?I have asked this question as well, but it seems that either nobody knows or nobody cares to answer. This should have been a cusomozable field in the ACP.

I have now lost the ability to use my Remove Game hack. Can someone help me please?I think the correct entry is as follows
$menu .= "<tr onClick=\"document.getElementById('id').innerHTML =

You can set the time span of the pass in the admin options area > arcade pass options...

"Timeout for Arcade Passes?
Set this to the number of seconds after purchase that an arcade pass is valid. Set to 0 to disable. Default: 1209600 = 2 weeks."

Seems pretty self-explanatory to me :D

Is this also a bug?
Many bought the pass while the timout was set to the default two weeks and I've changed the timeout to 0 disabled just recently, however the message in arcade saying Hang Pass Expired! Buy a new one! Still shows. Furthermore, when the users click and buy a new one, it still shows the same message when they revisit the arcade.
Has anyone else ran across this along with this issue in my previous post?
:surprised:

I installed this on my vb3.01 system and it works fine. That is, until I install a new game. When I install a game after I have installed this hack and then a user runs the game, the following database error comes up.

You need to go to each new individual game you install and give it a jackpot cost etc. and that should stop those errors

Is there a newer thread out of beta for this hack that I'm not finding in my search?
I'm unable to fix the below issues with this hack ... or know if they have been reported elsewhere or addressed yet.
If anyone could direct me, I'd be obliged

I user doesn't have to buy the pass, but just needs the amount of points a pass costs to play the games and when a user who didn't buy the pass loses the amount of points required to buy the pass, database errors occur each time that user attempts to play.

Tip:

To get it to show on left hand panel in admincp, edit admincp/index.php

Find:
construct_nav_option("Challenges", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=challenges', '<br />');

Add Below:

construct_nav_option("Arcade Pass Settings", 'options.php?dogroup=arcadepass&do=options', '<br />');

After doing this, upload admincp/index.php

It should now be accesible from left hand menu under Arcade.

'Course, you could create a separate group for it, too...

[k40tic]

I'm not sure where to post this at but since it has to do with getting around having a pass or using points and wouldn't matter as much if you didn't use this hack I chose here. There is an exploit that will allow anyone who has the same game on their home pc to play without using a pass at all as if they are doing it from your website. This is how the person done it on my site and used it. It happened to be a friend so he warned me about it and told me how he done it. The info he sent me word for word:

You create an html file on your computer and embed the flash game like the arcade.php file does. You can either download the game and run it from your computer or run it from the web, either way. The key is to set this html tag to point to the same directory that the arcade.php file is in, which should be the forum root. Below is an example of the tag that was used on my site minus my real address.

<base href="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/">

He did use it a couple times but I caught on right away since I just payed for vbulletin a couple weeks ago and less then 24 hours ago added the store and arcade pass. There was no way he should have been able to have what he has so I asked him what he was doing and he told me. Is there a way to fix this or is it only happening on my site?

[ambrosious]

I have no errors, just can't turn the dang thing on!?

[gfxhavenowner]

There's a very easy fix to get this all working.

Do everything via the TXT install, rather then the HTL install. Run db_queries and setting in MySQL first. Then, go through file_edits and template_edits. Finally, add the phrases via Download/Upload in the ACP. Point to arcadepass_phrases in the HTL folder. Do the same for the new templates, pointing to arcadepass_templates. This will work, and it works well.

As an added feature for the full release, how bout a field in the ACP to change the cost of the pass?

Nothing has changed on my arcade why is this it doesn't show costs of the games it just looks normal and you can still play any game.

Also what i click on this: http://www.myfootballforum.com/arcadepass.php

Arcade passes are not enabled by the administrator.

But they are enabled?

reedit: I appear to have fixed the problem, but I don't know if it was the right thing to do. I am awaiting a PM from Link14716 to let me know if its right. All I did was add a 1 in front of all the SQL queries for the settingphrase.sql file. So 6472 became 16472. Hopefully he'll reply here or to me in PM. I'd upload the SQL file, but it appears that I don't have permission to upload or something.

Thanks

[TTG]

Can someone post the file edits and template edits .. Ran the installer and screwed up somewhere and now can't re-run the installer again.

[The Equivocate]

When I go into my AdminCP to edit a game, I am unable to click in or edit the Game Cost, Jackpot, or Jackpot Increase fields. They are empty and blank, and you can't click in them or hit tab from another field (it skips over them). I have no idea why it would be doing this...

Also I figure it might not even be that necessary, if there is just some MySQL query that I can run since I want all the games to have the same values for those fields anyways.

[bahawolf]

I've traced the problems with the links to the template: arcade_main_games_bit

I fixed it!

I removed all of the following: '<if condition="!isset($show['nolink'])">' and the concluding '</if>' with it.. not sure why it made it not work, but the links work and I tested it and no problems so far.

Having problems with people not being able to submit their scores, they report getting a "blue screen". Also, usergroups that normally had access to the Arcade before installing this hack, now get the warning screen that they have to "obtain an Arcade pass", which, when clicking on that link, brings them to a blank page, looking for "uttstore.php" (what file edit is that mistake in?).

Three issues here, and I haven't even gotten into it. Any suggestions? I really need to have this in my forums . Thanks for the help!

Installed, and I think, working well.

Still watching what it does with the money. But, it is clear to me that having the Category hack is disruptive, and, you cannot do a simple copy and paste in one of the file edits. I copied the "changed" lines of code into my files, as opposed to doing a complete "find this and replace". (I think it was the arcadeadmin.php file)

Maybe an update with respect to the install is in order. Otherwise, nice job.

LOADS of people seem to be having similar issues. The problem here is the unecessary closing brackets after "user" and "uttpoints" (see above). I've tracked references to these irritating closing brackets to the database in "tables datastore" but I can't figure out how they end up there.

It would help lots of people if someone out there could figure this one out!

It would help lots of people if someone out there could figure this one out!

The install puts those closing brackets into the ADMIN CP / Arcade Pass hack control panel automatically. Not sure why he did that. Personally, I have issues with his install package, but that's another story. The brackets threw me for a while too. You need to go into your ADMIN CP, vboptions, arcade pass hack page, and take those closing brackets out.

Now, if only my Update button in the ADMIN CP / Arcade/ Game settings page would come back (this hack caused it to gray out and become unusable for some strange reason...)

[Roxie]

It would be nice if the hack listed how much money you won or if you won any at all. Or told you how long the arcade pass lasted (for the members). Or if it told what place you had to come in to get a part of the jackpot...and how much you get.

Anyone know what I should edit to put that information in?

[mindbuster]

Anyone having this working on vB 3.0.5 with v3 arcade and uCS ?

[MorrisMcD]

Anyone having this working on vB 3.0.5 with v3 arcade and uCS ?

Nope..

In fact.. I just upgraded from 3.0.1 a few nights ago to 3.0.5.. I had this installed and working before the upgrade, and now after the upgrade, I cannot change the prices or other options.. Those fields simply will not let me click in them.. I reinstalled and made all necessary edits as well..

[mindbuster]

Nope..

I installed it and it's working, well, kinda working, when not buying an arcade pass there are no links to play the games eventhough i have the option for pay pr game enabled, only link available is the most recent hiscore link, and when clicking that it says i dont have enough money to play, although i have.

But when buying an arcade pass in uShop it works just fine, after applying some of the small fixes mentioned in this thread.

I need to test it some more though, with other accounts and such.

But so far its working, there was a few things in the instructions which didnt fit my version of the arcade (1.0.3) but got them sorted out, i guess.

Some places where it says "Add below" you need to "Add after" instead, in between certain places on one line, also in arcade.php there where 2 instances of the "no permission", i chose the first instance i found, the one farthest up in the file, not the one you find first when following the instructions step by step, when you come to the "no permission" edit place your cursor at the top of the file to find the first instance of "no permission", seemed more logical than the other option.

Maybe im gonna try with the other option if cant get the "pay pr game" to work, but it didnt look like it was there it was supposed to be, just guessing here though.

But again, i got it working fine with vB 3.0.5 arcade 1.0.3 and uCS .95b.

[fly]

I gave up on pay-as-you-play long ago and disabled it.

[ambrosious]

I had installed this a long time ago on 3.0.3 with utt Shop and never got it to work right, I was excited to see the self installer!

However, when it got to the db additions, it crashed (installer) due to the tables being in existance.

Is that the last step? Can I reinstall? Is there a solution? Also, I noticed in the options for Arcade Pass in my admin cp all of the numeric values had a ")" after them. Is that normal? Do I leave the ")" or take it out?

Thanks in advance for this!

does it work for 3.0.6

The install puts those closing brackets into the ADMIN CP / Arcade Pass hack control panel automatically. Not sure why he did that. Personally, I have issues with his install package, but that's another story. The brackets threw me for a while too. You need to go into your ADMIN CP, vboptions, arcade pass hack page, and take those closing brackets out.

Now, if only my Update button in the ADMIN CP / Arcade/ Game settings page would come back (this hack caused it to gray out and become unusable for some strange reason...)

Thanks so much!!! I have been struggling with db errors all night. Too bad the hack itself isn't updated to correct the problem.

Nevermind, found my problem ;)

[EricaJoy]

Great hack! I was looking for this very thing. Thanks!

Hi,

i have a little problem with uShop/uChash - Points and v3 Arcade Pass. The Arcade Pass works fine, but not pay for play.
Example:
I select 10 points for playing snake. I played it and looked at my points. But i`ve the same points before i played the game. No points will be taken off.

In my admincp - Arcade Pass i have the following attitudes:

- Arcade Pass Masterswitch: ON
- Arcade Pass aktive: NO
- Pay for play: YES

I have the right settings, but nothing happens. What is wrong ? :ermm:

I tried to get this working the othernight, finally had to uninstall it, I'm on vb3.0.7 .. heavely hacked arcade. Still that should effect it. Would be cool to see an update for this later.

If it helps, I never got pay-for-play to work, ever. But everything else worked fine. Dunno if that was the problem you had...

I recently changed the price for the arcade pass and now users that had already bought passes show that their passes are expired (which they should), but it still letting them playing the game...Help?

[sim tech]

Sorry if this was already covered, but I scanned thru the 13 pages of posts and didn't see anything...

I have the ushop hack installed, and my arcade.php was modded for a playing card layout, rather than the standard column layout of all of the games.

Will the auto installer screw things up here? (I'm backing up the entire site as I type this before I try).

Also, I'm not sure if I'll use the arcade pass part (I may activate it to menbers who help me with my site) but I do want something like 10 points per game to be deducted from the point system I have installed. The problem is I have close to 550 games on my site! Will I have to set up each game and jackpot?

i had to set mine up for every game

I wonder if theres way so that games have default values so you don't have to edit each game after installing it

Hi, I have a question, or help if anyone can provide.

I have implamented the arcade pass and credit / points usage, how can i make the challenge part take points from the person challenging as it's currently free no matter if you have points or not.

If anyone can make it charge points for challenges it would be appriciated, i am using ushop for the points, if it matters

[m0nde]

This hack works...

But when a user wins a game and gets a highscore, I get this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE forum_user) SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+525 WHERE userid='1'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ') SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+525 WHERE userid='1'' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064


This error doesn't occur if they don't get a highscore and are getting the jackpot points.

It looks like it's got an extra ")" in the code somewhere which I must have added inadvertantly. Can someone tell me what to change to fix this?

:ermm:

I don't think any of those ) are supposed to be there. Go back over the steps of the hack and take those out.

Anyone got any ideas how to help me figure this problem out, please

[msimplay]

I don't seem to have those problems so try my arcadepass.php
see if that helps

[steadicamop]

I get this error when I click the link to buy a pass from inside the arcade:

Multiple Choices
The document name you requested (/uttstore.php) could not be found on this server. However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested.

Available documents:

* /uttstore?do=a&aid=13 (common basename)

Please consider informing the owner of the referring page about the broken link.

The only uttstore file I can find is the includes/functions.uttstore.php one, it looks to me like it's looking in the wrong place ... any ideas/suggestions?

My goof, it's a simple fix, just rename uttstore.php to ushop.php on line 38 in the arcadepass.php file

UPDATE games SET arcadepass_cost='20', arcadepass_jackpot='500', arcadepass_increase='5';

Thats kind of weird since those queries alter the tables you should have . The games table should be there if you have got the v3arcade hack installed and the other one the user table is default in all installations of vbulletin3

Thanks for the reply :)

I dont have it because Im an idiot :laugh: I read it all wrong..I was looking at the wrong section. :nervous:

I have ibpro and was reading the v3arcade.

Is there anything like this for ibpro and Vb3? I want people to 'buy' the games and receive jackpots. I know there is something to 'pay to play' but didnt see anything like this in one package.

[danb00]

Any fix to my error im getting? as of right now no one can submit scores to games (lol)

and yes i did all the file edits right

plus i got uashop installed as well

not that i currently know of V3arcade is the only one that has the arcadepass for the moment unless of course someone converts the current hack to work with it

I see...and how hard would something like that be?

[danb00]

[KevinL]

I think it was answered in this thread... the ' ) ' arent supposed to be there. Cant remember what was said to remove them though. Id have another look through the thread.

[msimplay]

Shouldn't be that hard just need to tell it to use the tables in the IPB hack instead of V3arcade. But don't quote me on that since i haven't checked the code on both hacks properly

I'll take a look at them, dont think I'll get all that far but no harm in trying! :laugh:

Thank you :)

I think if you read pages 9 through 12 there is some stuff that might help you. :)

I had that problem too, I re-read this thread a couple times before I found what everyone meant about the extra ")".

Go to your admin control panel, click on "vBoptions" and go to the "Arcade Pass Hack v3 Settings" and in all the fields remove the ")'s" from them, you should be good to go.


Now for my current problem, the arcade pass was working fine, I left for a week and during this time no one can purchase them anymore. I signed in on my test account, adjusted settings and it can't be purchases anymore.

When you click the "Buy" button it brings you to this page:

In arcade.php search for
$addpoints = ($game['arcadepass_jackpot'] / $position['position']);
and change to
$addpoints = round($game['arcadepass_jackpot'] / $position['position']);
