When trying to import games:

For automatic game importing to work, your https://tunerheat.com/core/packages/...vbarcade/media directory needs to be readable and writable (chmod 0777).

But it is in media is 777?

New error when adding a game:

Your game needs a game ID, title, height, width, and flash file at a minimum.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you are reporting. That is a message telling you that some information from the previous page was missing.

Can you please provide more information?

I filled in all the required fields. But I'm not sure what they're asking for Game ID? Where can this be located and is there an example?

Also can u recommend websites to use that include game id?

Ok, so I had reported a few weeks ago that i couldnt get any of the arcade modules to show up on the arcade page. I checked into a few sites running this arcade on 5.2.4 boards, and found that all the sites who appear to be running the arcade script successfully, are using a 2 column layout on the arcade page.

I had been using a 3 column layout for my vb5.2.4. I tested this by changing the arcade page layout to a 2 column layout instead.

Results: All the arcade modules now appear as they should on the arcade page as long as i dont try to run a 3 column layout on the arcade page.

all the categories show but you click on anything except ALL its empty.

I'M getting same errors on 5.2.4. Games play fine up until submitting scores. Ive tried the various options for scoring system such as ipb, vb etc..

At least now I can see the arcade and the games are playable.

Any plans on working on getting this VB5 compatible more? The pro version is what I really need, but I won't invest until I know the lite is on the way to being stable.

I assume lite version can't add games?

To be honest, considering the fact that I am still receiving emails about critical bugs and issues I reported over 4 years ago in the Pre-release version of vB5 and how they are just now being cleared out, it would not make sense for us to dedicate significant resources to improving compatibility with vB5.

That's not to say I'll never fix any bugs or anything, I'm just saying it's very unlikely major updates to any of our vB5 products will happen as vB5 is in my opinion a very poorly managed product that has intentionally been made very difficult to develop for.

If we physically cannot produce products that live up to our standards of quality, or even feature parity to the vB4 versions, in spite of reporting these shortcomings during the preview version we were given specifically to report shortcomings, then our hands are pretty much tied.

To put it another way: I know and I understand how frustrating this is to you, but please believe me when I say it's ten times more frustrating for me when I'm faced with support tickets from users like yourself, who just want a working product. Knowing that I can't actually deliver that is incredibly saddening to me.

There should be no limitations on adding games to the Lite version as far as I can remember.

This is such a shame. I feel the pain of the coders who try their best to provide quality modifications for us. I just don't understand the logic of making a product like this less appealing to customers by limiting it's capabilities?

I'll admit my wording was coloured by my own frustrations. The fact is, vBulletin 5's priorities now rest solely in the hands of bean counters. To them, making the product more modification friendly is the tiniest of blips, as their data most likely suggests that the vast majority of forum owners do not install any modifications.

For that reason, it makes more sense to them to focus on trying to make the product contain the same features as the previous version (:p).

That's also the reason why they decided to implement our "Advanced User Tagging" product into the core vBulletin product - a lot of people requested it and voted for it in Jira.

Since our ability to eat is directly tied to our ability to produce quality products, vB5 is not a viable strategic location for our (very limited) resources at this time.
