It should be pretty easy to go from Beta 2 to future versions -- at least vB 2.x versions -- but don't quote me on that. There should really only ever be one more 2.x version.

The templates are going to be re-done to use the correct colors very shortly. They were a total hack job when I did them the first time, and then I spent the remainder of my development time on the features, and not on the templates so much.

if you need help with templates let me know ;)

So cool you consider adding a Hall Of Fame, today I was about to wipe out records for this month and I already moved top record members to a hall of fame, manually.

Until the update comes in, can/has any1 beable to reset scores already?

Reading past posts about this issue seems does not help.

Btw, i'm still running it onto 2.3.0....

Another Idea other than the hall of fame I had, would be for someone to add, Store System addon for the arcade once the next version is out.

I think link made something at one point but I think that addon is dead.

What I'd like to see in addon..
Store addon,
- Jackpot System, based on 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th place. if members don't beat the score points pool to jackpot would build up for each game, if members get one of the top 5 scores, based on a points setting in admin cp, the player would get a portion of the jackpot at that given time, if they gest 1st place they would get the full jackpot of points. have the points link with your bank/store hack.

anyway thats my idea and I'm sticking to it, anyone want to make it or future you up for it as added feature?

Another thought would be arcade pass system, where members have to pay so many points to play the arcade games, and or buy a store arcade ticket... To play and compete with the jackpot system.

by having the hall of fame system which I listed a few posts back, each month your database would be kept small, this only issues is to make sure people don't loose points in the jackpot system when the database is wiped and top 5 of each score is put into a hall of fame...

I'm not an expert yet at php, but I think this would make a killer system for the arcade. I can help with template design and setup as well if needed ..

what ya guys think of the ideas?

The hall of fame would be a good addition and pixelfx idea to let it work with the store/bank hack to.

There are games as slots, poker and blackjack and i wonder if these games could work together with the bank/store in a way that they not only make the score but in the same time the points in the bank, extract by losing or add by submit.

I don't plan on writing a store-based part of the hack since I don't have a need for anything like that on my forums, and I would rather concentrate on the other aspects of the hack itself (e.g. Hall of Fame). That would be a natural add-in, though I would suggest waiting for the new versions -- especially the vB3 version -- before working on it.

PixelFx, I will let you know about the templates. I have made a number of physical changes to them for Beta 2.1, so you'd have to look at those first. If you'd like to test the install of Beta 2.1, get in touch with me and I will send it to you when it's ready. I am sure the upgrade process will need to be tweaked and alll that before it hits general release.

You can find me as futureal in #vborg on irc.devcore.co.uk most often. I am idling there 24/7 now.

Ok dont know if this is any use to anyone but i couldnt get my games to load and it pi**ed me off :p so i tried movin them. I placed all of the games in my root folder and then changed the link in the proarcade options from /games/ too /forum/ Blah any way the games work perfect now so hope it helps anyone else (knowin me this has probably been posted by someone already)

You could also just have removed the initial forwardslash and left them in the games directory ;) ^^

that works aswell? ARghhh damnit lol

GRrrrrrr damn you it does work aswell Booo i thought i was beein smart figurin it out :( lol
