The fix worked, thanks!


Sorry about wasting your time with the other problem. you were right, one of my members snuck in when I wasn't looking. :bored:

Here's a new one for ya...

I have a usergroup named EZCO Admins. They have all the permissions of the Registered Group, and more. They have access to 3 other forums that the Registered Group does not.

Yet...no one in this group can play any of the games. It says:

What would cause this? Somehow they are being subjected to the rules of those not signed in, or not registered.

I assigned other usergroups to the same member name...it appears that any created usergroup, does not have permissions to play the games. Only the default groups do.

Scores will be recorded forever, and database size is not an issue at all. I have had over 15,000 scores recorded on my site so far, and the size of the three tables, even with the icons, is about 300KB. Compared to a typical site's search index and post/attachment database, that is next to nothing.

The ability to define a max. number of scores to be displayed will be added in the next version.

Apok.

I had the same problem.

Ope up proarcade.php

search for // access check (here for future expansion)

right around line 32

under that there is lines that start with
if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]

just add the uder group id.

you will see when you get there :) pretty easy :)

See my response to chad777 in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...244#post294244

You need to add a line to proarcade.php corresponding to the group you'd like to give access to the arcade.

This functionality will definitely be part of the admin panel in the next release.

I have a couple suggestions for a features to be added in one of the releases :) not nessary, but would be nice.

Put the users highest score achieved under user name kinda like the crown.

Maybe if they don't have the highest score (crown) then it would have there highest scores achieved for certain games.

Also maybe the feature to be added to let the user select a type / music for the games they are playing ?

I don't know i had some brain storms when I was playing breakout. I mean it was kind of a boring game so I could think of other things :)

btw let me know if you need any beta testing :)

Having multiple music selections is tough, since it increases the filesize of the game files significantly. Plus, I'm not yet the Flash wizard that I'd like to be. :)

As for the highscore thing, that is something that could definitely be done...

Great... can't wait to install this...

My users are going to be upset because their high scores with John's arcade hack will have to be reset again... I may have to figure out a way to import it over (but it looks like he does use a very different db structure).

Thanks for the info on the db size, I won't sweat it then. :)

Also, sorry for not seeing the permissions issue earlier. Fixed as per your instructions, and it's running fine. Thanks again, my members are going nutz over it.

I'm still working on the Who's Online issue though. I'll get back to you if I can't get it working on my own.

Erwin: Converting the old vbTetris table would not be terribly hard.

You would need to alter the table to include the date, time and username fields, and then make a quick script to pair the usernames with the ids and insert bogus date/time info. Once that is done though, it would work fine -- you'll just have to make sure that the Tetris identifier in vbProArcade is 'tetris' to match up with John's hack.
