vb.org Archive - Major Additions - ibProArcade

I was about to install then saw that there were a ton of issues hanging out there unanswered. MrZeropage the coder who is the support for this has not posted anything since 2009. It seems he has abandoned this project. He has been online this month but not addressed any issues.

This is off my todo list.

The coder can only answer the same question so many times before he expects you to search it out for yourself. How exactly do you expect the coder to edit YOUR index file? Think about it.

I'm having trouble getting torunaments to appear on a forum with dark background. looks like it's there but you can't see it.

Has this one come up before ? Any suggestions anyone ?

Hi,

Will there be a proper update to VB4 ? As nothing for the CMS and also the games are not always saved, as mentioned in last topic. I hope this will be updated very soon, so we are able to check this further :).

Thanks.

I am having trouble installing this. (sorry I'm a newb).

When I try to upload the arcade folder to my webserver, it always loads like 70-80 of the files (of the 4000?) and then stops, and then I get timed out of the server.

Any idea why this may be? Thanks in advance.

Nevermind I was able to install it (somethin was buggy with my comp).

That being said I have a new problem.

On my homepage (www.mydomain.com), I get this screen and can't seem to move it:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/02/46.jpg

Anyone know how to get rid of it?

It's just people pay no attention to the big green letters in the first post that says not to ask for support in this thread.

The coder can only answer the same question so many times before he expects you to search it out for yourself. How exactly do you expect the coder to edit YOUR index file? Think about it.

One would expect the Add-On to be updated and the issues corrected. He has not even updated the original Posting to reflect compatibility except for in 1 place. The Original post is sloppy and you can not deny that, huge gaps, incomplete compatibility list. One would also assume that said Coder would not have to answer to a problem more than once if said problem was corrected in the Add-On.

Secondly he has no posted ANYWHERE since Jan 31st. That includes the Respective support forums.

I commend you on your support for a fellow coder, however none of my statements are incorrect.

And so what if he hasn't posted in 2 weeks? Maybe the guy took a holiday? Maybe there's been a family emergency? Either way he doesn't owe it to any of us to live online updating things the second someone reports an issue they've run into.

Sorry if that seems harsh to you - just getting fed up of the amount of posts on here lately where people are whining that coders/designers aren't jumping through every hoop for them instantly when they're all getting these modifications for free.

<?php

Below that add:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ibProArcade

if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames")

{

    require_once('./global.php');



    switch($_POST['func'])

    {

        $game = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games_scores WHERE mid=$uid AND gid = $gid ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 0,1");

        $scores = $game[score];



        if($scores != false)

        {

            //Return true

            print "&opSuccess=true&gameScores=$scores&endvar=1"; //send endvar to keep opSuccess separate from all other output from PostNuke

        }

        else

        {

            print "&opSuccess=false&error=Error&endvar=1";

        }

        break;

    }

}



$act = $_GET[act];

$autocom = $_GET[autocom];

$showuser= $_GET[showuser];

if($act == "Arcade" || $autocom=="arcade") {

include "arcade.php";

exit();

}

if(!empty($showuser) && $showuser >= 1) {

$u = $showuser;

$_GET[u] = $showuser;

include "member.php";

exit();

}



// end of ibProArcade

Save and upload your index.php back to your server.

Now its ok for me nice

Which index.php? in the root or an other file? Silly question, but I love specifics, I am encountering the same issue as well. And I am very happy the solution is here!

Do you guys even know about the support forum? This is the thread for the release of the product. No wonder you guys can't find the answers to your questions, you'd be expected to sift through 55 pages of the same gdfn questions over and over again.

If you have a problem, go there, look for an answer to your question, and if it's not there, start a thread.

Anyone know how to fix the postbit_legacy after the Arcade is installed? Now that there are symbols for the games streaming in the legacy, my post count, location, and join date stats are all outta wack. Any help would be appreciated!

back up your ARCADE_vB4 template. incase this doesnt work for you..

replace entire contents with this:

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}">

<head>

    {vb:raw headinclude}

    <title>{vb:rawphrase Arcade} - {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>

    {vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

</head>

<body>



{vb:raw header}

{vb:raw navbar}



<div id="pagetitle">

    <h1>{vb:rawphrase Arcade}</h1>

</div>



<vb:if condition="$show['errors']">

<div class="block">

    <h2 class="blockhead">{vb:rawphrase errors_occured_when_submitted}</h2>

    <div class="blockbody">

        <div class="blockrow">

            <ol id="errormessages">

                {vb:raw errormessages}

            </ol>

        </div>

    </div>

</div>

</vb:if>

  <body>

    {vb:raw header}

    {vb:raw navbar}

    <div class="blockbody">

      <div class="blockrow">

  {vb:raw arcadeheader}

  {vb:raw maincontent}

      </div>

    </div>

    {vb:raw footer}

  </body>

</html>

This worked for me in ARCADE template, thank you very much :up:

Well again Nice try.

So I have to ask. if it works perfectly in 4.0.1 what are all the issues i see above this post? Is it due to personal style conflicts? User error on the install?

Cna you post a url to your site or someone who has installed as per the instructions and made no code changes.

Click here
to jump to the
ibProArcade-Support-Forum
in the Premium-Modification-Section

This isn't a support thread! So yes, the list is going to keep on growing so long as people continue to ignore the above. There's a support section for this mod, an actual DEDICATED FORUM for any/all issues to be posted in. The majority mentioned on this thread have already been dealt with so I really don't blame the developer for not wasting his time on this particular thread.

Ps - he says it works on 4.0.x - and he's right! Currently have it running on my site and my members love it.

So in your own words - nice try, but I'm afraid you failed.

I've always been curious about this thread, as to why it exists at all. Most questions about any mod involves support, so why is this non-support area for this mod here at all? It clearly confuses many people, as many discussions here involve questions for support followed by a reply about this not being a support area.

What IS the purpose of this area then?

Your under the misconception that every problem can be fixed just by tweaking a few settings in the add-on. That isn't always the case. Sometimes it's unique to individual forum owners, or something that can only be fixed with a manual edit to something on your website. Something the coder doesn't have access to.

Do you think I have not gone to the support section and seen the larger laundry list of issues that have not been answered. The support area is full of members "trying" to help other members. When you view someones profile and click on "find all posts by member" it SHOWS posts there also. None of which have happened since Jan 31st. Apparently DJ is trying to help with issues but ZERO is MIA or someone stole his keyboard.

Your juvenile attempt at a comeback or sarcastic reply was a waste of font and keystroke.

What you failed to see or as you put it "are blind to" is that I have not asked for support here. The support section is for that. I simply stated that this product "seems" to be no longer supported by the Coder that posted it and developed it.

P.S: That "other" list of lists is growing also.

after upgrading to vb4.0.2, the scores are not saving, saying "missing security token" or something.

It was working fine on 4.0.1 but after the upgrade it is going nuts.

please help

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I was looking for a way to have new high scores from the arcade shouted in the VSa - Chatbox and could find nothing in this thread, so I created this...

Obviously need to have VSa - Chatbox & ibproarcade installed. This is currently working for the latest versions of each on my site, which can be viewed HERE

Also create a new bbcode called 'siteurl' with the code
<a href="{option}">{param}</a>
(This makes the game link in the chatbox open in the same window rather than a new one)

Code:

Title = siteurl

BB Code Tag Name = siteurl

Replacement = <a href="{option}">{param}</a>

Example = [siteurl=http://www.example.com]Example Web Site[/siteurl]

Decription = This open site urls in the same window rather than the default target="_blank"

Use {option} = Yes

Button Image (Optional) = Leave Blank

Remove Tag If Empty = Yes

Disable BB Code Within This BB Code = No

Disable Smilies Within This BB Code = Yes

Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code = Yes

(Please bare in mind I am not an expert so take no responsiblity for any damage you may cause - backup arcade.php first!). If there was a simpler way to do it, I searched but couldnt find it.

Open arcade.php and find around line 3846

PHP Code:


		
			
                        // finally update Highscore-Table

                        if ( ($this->arcade->user['id'] != 0) && ($player_score <> 0) )

                        {

                                                $DB->query("UPDATE ibf_games_champs SET ".$db_string." WHERE champ_gid=".$gid);

                            $ginfo['champ_mid'] = $this->arcade->user['id'];

                            $ginfo['champ_name'] = $this->arcade->user['name'];

                            $ginfo['champ_score'] = $player_score;

Add after

PHP Code:


		
			
// Insert New Chatbox Message

$DB->query("SELECT c.*, g.gcat, cat.password FROM ibf_games_champs AS c, ibf_games_list AS g, ibf_games_cats AS cat WHERE c.champ_gid=g.gid AND g.gcat=cat.c_id AND g.active=1 AND trim(password)='' ORDER BY champ_date DESC LIMIT 0,1");

while( $row = $DB->fetch_row() )

        {

            $newchattxt .= "[color=green]".$row['champ_name']." set a new high score of ".$row['champ_score']." in [/color][siteurl=http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=".$row['champ_gid']."]".$row['champ_gtitle']."[/siteurl]";

                    $vbulletin->db->query_write("

                        INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox

                            (userid, userip, message, dateline, textprop)

                        VALUES ('42', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '".$newchattxt."', ".TIMENOW.", '')

                    ");

        }

// End insert

Then Find

PHP Code:


		
			
                    if ($player_score <> 0)     // no champ with no result ...

                    {

                                $DB->query("INSERT INTO ibf_games_champs (" .$db_string['FIELD_NAMES']. ") VALUES (". $db_string['FIELD_VALUES'] .")");

                        $ginfo['champ_mid'] = $this->arcade->user['id'];

                        $ginfo['champ_name'] = $this->arcade->user['name'];

                        $ginfo['champ_score'] = $player_score;

Add after

PHP Code:


		
			
// Insert New Chatbox Message

$DB->query("SELECT c.*, g.gcat, cat.password FROM ibf_games_champs AS c, ibf_games_list AS g, ibf_games_cats AS cat WHERE c.champ_gid=g.gid AND g.gcat=cat.c_id AND g.active=1 AND trim(password)='' ORDER BY champ_date DESC LIMIT 0,1");

while( $row = $DB->fetch_row() )

        {

            $newchattxt .= "[color=green]".$row['champ_name']." set a new high score of ".$row['champ_score']." in [/color][siteurl=http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=".$row['champ_gid']."]".$row['champ_gtitle']."[/siteurl]";

                    $vbulletin->db->query_write("

                        INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox

                            (userid, userip, message, dateline, textprop)

                        VALUES ('42', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '".$newchattxt."', ".TIMENOW.", '')

                    ");

        }

// End insert

Change BOTH INSTANCES of 42 in the above to the value to the userid of the users name you wish to appear in the chatbox. i.e. I have a user with id 42 called Arcade who does all the arcade shouting.

Thats it.
Jim.

ftechuk you should really go to the mods section on vbulletin.org and post this under vbulletin vb4 template modifications.

So that it wont get lost in the responses here and others can use it.

Thanks Im going to try it right now!

because for every level there is an index file.
