Not make him release beta to everyone, just to ppl that he knows that can properly know how to test his hack?

How can he know if somebody is able or not? Accodring to which criteria?

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.

Right, which is exactly what I've done.

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.

Huh? So you are saying that you tend to ignore people that don't have the knowledge to make a hack??? Bad for you...

Never you mind him? I made my own simply arcade page cause I did not like hacks that did not have instruction in how to uninstall. :chinese: Just hope the next version will have instructions or an auto feature.

If you have the knowledge to make that why wouldn't you make a hack???
If I had php knowledge I would have released a ton of hacks!!!

It is not a hack, all I did was made a power page that is in the MOD TIPs forum and place an html page on my board. I will have the finally setup done in january.

my init.php file must have something wrong with it cause i cant find the stuff it tells me to find in the installation, some big help please.

matter fact i cant find any of the things it wants me to find in the init.php file
can anyone help me out asap thanks

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.

im new to this so i got a couple questions:
when i go to arcade on my site it says

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3073

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3073

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3073

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/thug/public_html/arcade.php on line 167"

rb290- Run the installation file:

http://www.yoursite.com/forums/admin...all_arcade.php

After you install delete the install_arcade.php file from the admincp folder.


Also this hack it's not ready for vB 3.5 yet.

this is difficult, its telling me these errors on line 991, etc

oh damn, i have 3.5, so it wont work no matter what ?

I agree with you view too.
If people are not happy then why dont they make their own arcade, I am sure its super easy. :rolleyes:

It wont work.
John is releasing a 3.5 version soon.
This is the official site:

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 ->

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ion#post616010


Is there a solution to this issue ?

Many thanks!

If this was directed at me, then you have only skim the post instead of reading them.

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:

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.

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.

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.

Research it, you'll find plenty on the license policies for the new release.

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?

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.

Enjoy. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/defi...2497&dict=CALD (You might want to consider spending some time there.)

I'd appreciate if you stopped wasting everyone's time by posting in this thread. Regardless, at least one more person will be ignoring you.

Like I said before I hope you release legal games or your site will be shut down like it was before. If you did not learn the first time I be happy to make you learn it the second time. Enjoy your short time online ;)

Can the 2 of you please take your dispute into PM's.

No need to have a flame war started here on the board. Both sites had their chance to make there point.

Much appreciated.

Is that a warning? :rolleyes:
Lead Weight, i cant find any other options here from you to the arcade.
I must say, you remind me of a jeallus litle kid.
I would like to say thank you to John, who takes the time to make us users happy. Looking forward to your new Arcade John, good luck.

ok, how do I make this work in 3.5?

currently there is NO arcade for vb 3.5, though if you go to www.v3arcade.com
John is working on the newest release, for vb 3.5. Patience and time is what is required here.

As long as it is in the works - I'm happy. Thanks for the reply :)

[on-topic] arcade running perfect on 3.0.7 thnx for that John

[off-topic] John get some sleep m8 we can wait and we will be patiently. keep up the good work.
