The fix I posted had nothing to do with portals. It resolved the vbseo problem of not saving game comments.

In the navbar, how do I make it so the link to the arcade only shows if the user is in certain usergroups? (ie. Forum Leader, Registered User, Admin)

Is this normal?

That's the problem. It seems it is doing a query for each stat for each post. If you want the awards and crowns in postbit turned on, that is what you will get. ;)

IC! :)
Thx, Boofo!

Wonder if theres a way to cache that data daily or something with a cron job and eliminate the queries. I don't see a need for it to be a real time statistic.

Btw, I presume the badwords table is just a leftover from IBP and we can delete that table?

Good news and bad news.
The install and functionality went without a hitch. Great instructions and EXCELLENT program!
However, I too am getting the error after playing a game when it looks to save the score I am not sure.
I looked at the now imfamous post #301 and not sure this is my answer to fix. If so, I would love a little bit better step by step on what file and where to edit this file if possible for all of us mkportal users?
Thank you VERY much!

thats why i never liked this arcade system even in invision board it has them errors with submitting scores

ahem, search this thread for the word scores
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60377
same thing

i didnt claim v3arcade was any better i just knew there was issues with this arcade since i used it on invision power board like two years ago.. you would think by now it would of been all figured out .

I'm also getting the same error.

For some reason, it appears that Forum Leaders are getting the usergroup error when a score tries to submit in Pacman. They can play the games just fine, and I have set their permission to view and play games.

Here we go again.

Most of the score submitting problems here are from outside programs or hacks and the fixes are being posted for them. The arcade itself works fine. I have NEVER had a score submitting problem and neither have most of the users that have installed this. If you don't like this Arcade, then that is your choice, but please stop badgering it in this thread. It's getting really old and tired!

i agree,i think we all should stick to topic this thread is for ibProArcade only, not other arcades :rolleyes:

stop defending the script like its the best thing god created you are more on his nuts then pubic hair ( sorry if that offends you ) i like the hack i think its great but even with the original hack it had problems with score submissions and thats from the original author v3arcade will have problems too all hacks have problems. its a public hack and i made a public comment about the hack. and all i said is that has been a problem since invision board. you make it like i said this hack is garbage and anyone using it is a fool... the onlything i seen wrong with the hack is the fact i didnt like a style it was feedback.. you are taking everything like you busted your arse for the last 9 months writing the script and its your baby. jesus dude i like the damn script i dont like problems with score submitting though like no one does. i would say the same thing in any other hack. in your eyes were suppose to worship this script. free hacks deserve free praise and free criticism and therefore i gave it. this has been a running problem that should of been the first thing adressed and for your excuse that its because of other hacks. Is that a good reason ? the creator should of known people would of had other hacks installed i installed this hack on one of my forums and didnt face a problem with it but whatever ya want to cry because i said this problem should of been fixed when chris did it for invision board.

For clarification, what is meant by your post, LEAD_WEIGHT? Does ibProArcade have a backdoor built-in that we do not know about? It would be nice to know this as if it does (showing proof of this, of course) because it would not be a good choice between available arcade options. As for games requiring payment, I believe that v3arcadegames.com is now gone. Other than that site and the "Free Arcade" that was not so free, can you tell us how many other sites charge for games (without giving links, locations, etc.)?

Just looking for clarification on this as this needs to be shown as either factual (proven) information or unproven information.

Oh... not trolling here for v3arcade or ibProArcade. I have not upgraded to v3.5.1 yet as I am waiting and evaluating what I feel the best options are for the arcade as well as other modifications that have not been ported. I am looking for the facts rather than assuming something is true based on someone's opinion.

Unlike the upcoming v3arcade, this hack does not connect to any server but your own.

Anyone have any idea about the Pacman issue?

v3Arcade doesn't connect to any server either, unless you click the link to have it look for new games that are available. Get your information straight.

The domain for www.pnflashgames.com seems to have expired. Anyone know where else to get multi-player games?

How many times must you repeat yourself in this thread? I have no problem with someone else's opinion but when you state the same thing over and over again, it gets a little boring. This is a thread for the release of this hack. It is not a thread to trash it or the other arcade. If you don't like it or don't want to use it, fine. But stay out of the thread if all you are going to do is complain. Consider this your final warning.

They been bought out. This is who own's them now.

http://www.sourcekitsoftware.com

And as far as finding any of their games that are worth a crap, let alone games that are multi-player, good luck. I'm in search too.

hi, I have broken my shoulder and cannot type very fast with my left hand, i will post answer when i can use my hand again

Still, if that is available in the v3Arcade, what else is there that you don't know about? An arcade connecting to any other server for ANY reason is only inviting problems and complaints.

Copy and paste? ;)

Why straighten something that's already straight? Last I saw there, you had to supply some personal information and the admincp integrates with John's site. There's was some validation and stuff also. Unless he's going to drop that for the public release.

Disappointing to see you playing such petty and political games, Boofo. Always respected the way you carried yourself. This seems beneath you.

Let Jenta be your willing and eager troll.

The petty bickering and such is so completely pointless. Spreading misinformation and bashing another hack that is the product of another coder's long-running efforts is just pathetic.

It's optional, troll. But you haven't let facts get in the way of your rhetoric yet, so why worry about them now?

shakes head you can do it but i cant what a great gift power tripping mods are

I've just realised that the PM popup doesn't work in the Arcade, nor does my Chatters Online for my sigmachat integration.

What's in THIS one that we don't know about? :rolleyes: It's not like the code is encrypted. Anyone and everyone will be pouring through it.

You use your moderator powers to warn others about bashing this or other arcade hacks, then turn around and do it yourself.

exactly

Post reported for name calling. Keep things civil please.

Isn't that a bit like reporting me for saying the sky is blue? Do as you please. Who did you report it to? Boofo?

I believe that it should go both ways as far as bashing or fact finding for v3arcade and ibProArcade. It was announced by John that v3 had this in it. Unless someone can say for a fact citing example, code, whatever where it is a problem, then it should not be made an arguement for one or the other. For that matter, you may as well say that because vBulletin software talks to the Jelsoft servers that it is only inviting problems and complaints.

Quite honestly, I think what John is doing may be the more author-friendly (sure-fired legal) approach for approved games and a user-friendly approach for those that want a game all they have to do is get it from the "approved" list and the AdminCP grabs it from John and installs it. That will not stop others from converting games for it. I have not viewed either arcade nor their code, so I cannot say I like either new version yet. Yes, I chose v3 before, but that does not mean I would pick it now over ibPro until I see them for myself.

Before anyone gets off to say this is a bash or starts the flames, I am looking for facts, not opinions. If someone says that something is happening, I would like to see the proof of it. I wonder if some of those (honestly) are going off of what has been stated and working off of assumption or they have seen it for themselves by installing and viewing the arcade code. I will be downloading ibProArcade and v3arcade tonight and will do my own comparisons. Although you were quoted, the above comment was not directed at you, Boofo.

Just so you know, I have no idea what or how v3Arcade connects to any server. All I was stating was if that IS the case, it is wrong, just as it is wrong for ANY piece of software to connect to another server when it does not have to to run properly. And Jenta has nothing to do with my opinion. I wouldn't run this arcade either is it connected to any other server. It doesn't need to.

I don't appreciate your remark above. I am not conducting myself any different than I always have.

Well I guess vBulletin is wrong too, since it connects to their server. And it does it without even telling you it's doing it. With v3Arcade it's only if you click a link that basically says "Click here to download a list of available games.", so, you know that it's going to go somewhere to pull a list.

Notice the word IF in the above quote. ;)

Appreciate them or don't. They're my perspective after following through the thread. If they're unfair, then perhaps my perspective is somehow skewed, but I'm just calling it as I saw it. I was surprised in several of your posts to see you taking thinly veiled shots at v3a. Not sure what the point is.

Frankly, I'm glad both arcades are out here. I'm glad we have options. I just don't know why it's turned into a confrontational issue.

Then perhaps it's my older perspective on your demeanor that is flawed. I have no idea.

Anyway, I've said my bit. If you (or Jenta) have additional issues, we can take it to PM so that it's not polluting the thread for those with legitimate technical issues.

--edit--
Er, what Danny said below.

i see no wrong in it connecting to a server. the choice is yours you dont have to connect and download games from the v3arcade server you can manually install them all day. its just a option if you want to download games from there server you connect it sends the game it disconnects.

Please lets keep the discussion of arcade systems and there individual advantages and disadvantages somewhere else. (A thread in General Modifications forum would suit perfectly. :)) This thread is for ibProArcade only, it isn't fair for the author and other users trying to find valuable information concerning this hack to have to read through tons of posts concerning an entirely different hack.

Also, please keep the name calling...etc...etc out all the forums. :)
