vB3 Arcade - Allow Users to Change Game Size

[Tigga]

This mini-hack is so simple, but (IMO) is a must have for anyone who uses John's vB3 Arcade. This will add an option to allow users to change the default size for the games.

File Modifications: 1 file, 2 changes.
Template Modifications: 1 template, 2 changes.

Enjoy! :)

[MikeRoweForums]

great job Tiger :)

[Dart1337]

great job Tiger :)
AWESOME! Thanks!

[Tigga]

Awesome! :) Should be made standard.
I agree. :) I posted about the feature in one of John's threads a little while ago, but I guess the feature never made it.
I would have made this months ago if I had realized that John had already set up a column for the width & height of games. I assumed it was set up similar to Futureal's and was planning on making a script that would create the width & height columns and then pull the width & height from the game code to update everything. I finally decided to do this for a friend the other day (I don't even have John's arcade installed since I'm still running Beta 7) and was pleasantly surprised when I saw how easy it was going to be. :)

[Boofo]

This sure makes it nice for us old guys to not have to wear the reading glasses while playing now. LOL

[mlevenson]

everyone has this working but me :(:(:(

[Zachery]

Is it just me or is there no install button here O.o

[OGT]

does this save the entries ona per user basis?

[teksigns]

it would be very nice if this would remember each users selection
for each game ....

when you come back it would use the last setting used for that game
by that user.

is this possible ?

[BarBeQue]

great hack!

/me looks for the install button but can't find it.....

That's definitely possible. The easiest way would be to do it with cookies... The settings will be lost when a user logs out, but otherwise it would most likely require modifying the user table to add a field for their settings. I'll add the cookie setting as soon as I get a chance though. :)

[BarBeQue]

* BarBeQue clicks install (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=63487)

any luck with the settings being saved yet?

[Darnell 0216]

Easily installed and very much needed. Thanx Tigga!

[Natch]

I've found that the popup menu generated is about 50% the width of the screen (in Mozilla Firefox) - does anyone else have the same experience ?

Yes, Opera too.

[GeekyDesigns]

anyone having a problem with gecko based browsers please
find


<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="gameres_menu" style="display:none">


replace with

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="gameres_menu" style="width: 125px; display:none">

[Zoints]

Thank you very much GeekyDesigns. Much appreciated.

[sabret00the]

possibly the hardest hack in the world to find.

[RichieBoy67]

Great!! Thanks!!

[Pseudomizer]

Perfect idea. Good job. Installed straight away.

Cheers,

[Holidazed]

Good job. Where is the freaking "Install" button for this thread?

[cooltechie]

installed it and works fine so far. thanks!

[teksigns]

has anyone been able to make it remember your settings.

this is very costly to users when using arcade pass .....

when a user only buys one game play and then clicks a larger screen size it
charges for another game ....

so it should remember your last setting so this dont happen .

is this possible and if so how?

There are 2 ways to do this. First option is to store it in the database ( requires work from hack author ) or store the data in the cookie.

But who will do this ?

[Pseudomizer]

Hi Tigga,

do you have any solution for a problem like this ? Users can not set the size with Mozilla.

Thank you.

[Intex]

Another great hack from Tigga.

* Intex clicks INSTALL.

[Intex]

By default the game resolution is set to 550 x 340. I need this default to be the resolution below (413 x 255). Does anybody know how to do this?

[Intex]

Tigga - where art thou? :)

[ChuanSE]

* ChuanSE clicks install :D

[Cold Steel]

Installed awhile ago, thanks.

[Princeton]

great job! thank you

[cLord]

*Installed*

Now why didn't I see this one before?

[TTG]

Great and very useful addition .. thanks for that .. clicks one of the installs :)

[FWF]

YOU RULE!

thanks so much for this MUCH needed hack :)

[weitalia]

I installed and it was very cool [even with the Mozilla mod].
But I was wondering: does this hack makes the games score more easy,due to the fact that increasing resolution more of them plays slower? Consider this...I found that is like that,so the high scores are not the same with the original size...

;)

[Milorad]

true, but everyone has the same advantage.... so what's the big deal?

some of those games are almost unplayable in their smaller resolution, on super-high resolution screens

by your logic, people on slower computers also have an advantage.... perhaps those people with slower machines will also run the lower resolution, thereby evening out the playing field :D

[Warlord]

Nice addition!

*Clicks install*

[Vega]

Awesome! Thanks for that one! :)

[Limpkinw]

All of my resolutions are just a bunch of x's anyone have this problem?

[Limpkinw]

ok my bad I hadnt saved arcade.php yet ~doh~

Also does this charge users the cost of the game since its resizing the window?

I mean if you have arcade pass installed of course.

[Limpkinw]

Ok I answered my question id does...

[TTG]

Can someone PM me with the original or working arcade_play template ?

I screwed up somewhere .. the resolution options are showing in the arcade but none of the games enlarge.

[lamilein]

YAY!
/me hugs Tigga
thx for this one
