I was excited to see this and wanted to pay for the branding free option, but based on the creator's lack of activity here and at his own forums (and the indication this is to be expected), I'm hesitant to touch it at all. I'm going to check out ibProArcade and see if it's any good.

Most v3arcaders are waiting and hoping on the part of John that he'll actually decide to partake in his own hack at some stage and actually get it back on track. Unfortunately, for the most part, a lot of us have been here before and seen this exact same thing happen with the version 3.0.x arcade.

I've been very loyal to v3arcade for as long as it's been around, but even i'm considering swapping over to ibProArcade at the moment, simply because I am desperate to have the tournament part of the arcade for my site and after so long, I'm on the verge of giving up waiting. If I could code it into v3arcade myself I would, but i'm not quite advanced enough for that yet.

I had v3 Arcade installed on my forum before and it all worked fine. A while ago I uninstalled it, everything appeared to go fine. Now I installed it again and this time there's no section for the arcade in my AdminCP. Before there was a bar just for the arcade in the list on the side where I could add/remove games, change settings, order, etc. Does anyone know how to get it there? There is a Arcade option under vB Options but that just does the general settings.

I've installed and uninstalled at least 5 times today hoping a I made a mistake each previous time but no luck. So... Does anyone know how to get it to appear?

Thanks - Kevin

Who knows, mine didn't even add the tables into the database, and no one is answering a question I put in about the proper code to add a query into mySQL to fix the errors.

To be honest, maybe if you can, write the step by step to uninstalling, so I can get rid of the damn thing. :(

I got rid of it, but you're most likely not going to want to do what I just did.

I just scrapped the test forum and started over. I just couldn't wait any longer.
I don't get why this hacked is still marked as supported? I even emailed. VB.org about it, and asked them to remove it. Just so others finding this hack know there is no support and to know ahead of time before installing.

At least there are a number of posts here now, that describe the problems so hopefully newbies who find this, read all the way through before attempting to install.

sorry 80 pages is a LOT to look at
if u look at this page

any post my make add the Arcade Awards to the post
how do i remove that?
thanks

well i found the option
If enabled, users will have Arcade awards displayed in their postbits and profiles.
but i like all the other features any way just to disable postbits

I attempted to find this answer in this thread, but could not (tried searching, sorry if I missed it): is there a place where I can set the default arcade settings (accept challenges, etc) for new members of the site?

I appologise for not reading the whole thread but is there any way to set a post limit to play the games. Like to play you must have X amount of posts.

Yes, you can control which usergroups have access to the arcade. You can create a secondary "Arcade Available" usergroup and setup how users get automatically added to that group. Then you allow access from that group, but not the normal registered users usergroup.

Is there a way to import the high scores from a 3.0.7 board that I am currently running to a 3.5 that I am migrating everything to?
