Thanks! Yep, that did it and I must say - seems MUCH faster than the other.
Scores are saving where they didn't before - that's cool!

I was looking forward to this release as it will get my games in the right format for a "different" forum I have... :-)

OK...
So let me get the smack now if I missed the post on v3arcade...

But...
Are there any ready available php scripts for building a CMPS or PHP Widget for scores?

One issue...
I noticed I had to enable Tournaments to get permission to play a game.
I set all Arcade permissions to "yes" for admin - got No permission
I then saw the tournament and set all to "yes" and was allowed.

Strange I needed to enable tournaments for the aracde?

There is the "Stats" module available for vBa CMPS on vB4. That is the big module (like what is shown on the front page of v3A.com) converted for vB4. That seems to the one most people wanted converted over. If you see any other 'arcade' related modules that you'd like to see converted over just point me in the direction. :)

I will try to recreate that one. There should be no relation between the tournament permissions and being able to play a game but there is always the chance that I was coding after midnight again. (Programmers are like mogwai; there are certain things they shouldn't do after midnight.).

Hi Just wondering if its possible to run v3arcade as well as ipbproarcade ? If so what steps would be needed to ensure no conflicts etc ?

Out of the box, no, they would conflict since both platforms will end up trying to save scores being submitted. With the 2.0.0 v3A rewrite we went through and tried making sure that all of the v3A assets (templates, phrases, files, etc.) were uniquely prefixed. Some may have been missed but to date we have not gotten any feedback that are any remaining asset conflicts. So the short answer is... no known conflicts of assets but there are conflicts when trying to save scores because IPB can use IPB & v3A games and v3A can use v3A & IPB games (and Mochi games as well).

However it shouldn't be that hard to do something where both are installed and IPB is only used for one type of game (eg: IPB games) and v3A is used for other types of games (eg: v3A formatted games and Mochi games). It would be matter of renaming IPB's 'index.php' to something else, updating the IPB templates to point to the new name, turning off any IPB related plugins that are being used for v3A compatibility, use IPB for only IPB formatted games, installing v3A as normal, turn off v3A's plugins for IPB compatibility, and then use v3A only for v3A formatted games & Mochi games.

It is not something that I personally have done but I know others have. If you can reach him, "Mark.B" in the vB support forums might be able to give some pointers since he is doing this on his vB3 site. Check http://www.bowlandcentral.com/ and in the "Arcades" drop-down list the "Yellow Arcade" is v3 Arcade and the "Blue Arcade" is IPB.

I have hundreds of games that have an ".rar" file extension. I've looked over all the posts looking for any mention of how to install these games with the .rar extension...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A ".rar" file a compressed file, like ".zip" or ".tar" files. IPB games are typically packed as a .tar file and both v3 Arcade and IPB are able to uncompress them to extract & install the games.

My memory may be fuzzy but I don't recall IPB being able to work with a .rar file directly.

If you take a look inside of the .rar file (using something line WinRar), what is there? Just the game files (a .swf file and .gif files) or a .tar file? Are these IPB games or v3A games or something else?

Thanks...
After some serious hacking and slashing I was able to run this as a CMS Widget.

Starting to look real good!

One more permission error.

This time with playing a Mochi(sp) game.
Attempt to save uses the following:
http://xxx.com/arcade.php?sessdo=burn&mochigame=5173

This brings back a "you don't have access".
This is with an "Admin" account with everything on or Yes
