vb.org Archive - v3 Arcade - Games Arcade & Challenge System [vB 3.0.3]

Hi John, people on the MINI2 Arcade at www.mini2.com/forum/arcade.php are still having problems recording scores.

It only seems to be very high scores and/or when people spend a long time in one game. I have the hack installed 100% correct as far as I can see.

It's happened to me once only, when I got a high score on the new Monkey game.

People are getting frustrated because it does it at the worst time possible, when they've got a good score!

It happens on various games, to various members, from various locations. The only pattern is it happens with very high scores or when they've been playing a long time.

The error is (as I've stated) the standard vBulletin "no permission" error.

Any chance you could offer any suggestions at all or if we could work out what's going wrong, as something is for sure!

n order to get members to post more, i thought about making the entire arcade require X number of posts, but that's not the right idea.

what i want to do is take my most popular games and make THOSE require X number of posts. how can this be done, with individual games rather than the entire arcade?

Still tracking down my scores problem.

I have tracked the problem down to arcade.php, inside

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_POST['sessdo'] == "permrequest") {

specifically this area:

PHP Code:


		
			
    globalize($_POST, array('note'=>STR_NOHTML, 'id'=>INT, 'gametime'=>INT, 'score'=>STR_NOHTML, 'key'=>INT));



    // Turn negative globalize results into errors

    if ($_POST['note'] == 0 || $_POST['id'] == 0 || $_POST['gametime'] == 0  || $_POST['fakekey'] == 0) {

        exit;

    }

Inside these vars I have:
note=0
id=0
gametime=1076957565
fakekey=3

so it is note and id that are causing me to exit without recording the score.

These are _POST variables, why would they not be present here?

Does this happen with every game? What version of PHP are you using?

Yes, and PHP Version 4.3.3

Why the two gametime variables?

I am also having a problem with it recording high scores. It seems to work for everyone besides me. It records all their time and scores but when it comes to mine it doesn't record anything. I am member id=1... Do you happen to know what could be the cause of this? Everything else is working besides recording my own statistics/high scores.

Thanks in advance.

After playing around with this issue, I found that high cpu/bandwidth usage on the server or a client with low bandwidth causes this. Playing the game from the server hosting it, is a bad idea. It may not be your problem but I hope this helps.
