Import Games under DBtech-vbarcade side panel

Hi there,
I would love to get this working on a forum I'm intending to upgrade later to vB5.x . I'm using 5.0.4 at the moment.

I installed following the instructions (now actually for the 4th time after restoring) but when I click on the Arcade option, it's just showing me the forum index again (but without the usual 'NEW TOPICS
WHO'S ONLINE
MARK CHANNELS READ
MEMBER LIST' at the top before the Forum Index is shown.

Any ideas please?

I was thinking maybe it's something to do with a mod rewrite type thing / route parameter thing but I still can't find it. Alternatively, maybe I'm missing a file.

I hope you can suggest some other things I can look into.

Hopeful thanks in advance :)

I am currently in the process of re-testing our mods for 5.0.4 compatibility.

Meanwhile, you may be able to fix it by clicking Repair Cache in the AdminCP - that will install the necessary elements on the page.

Hi Fillip,

Thanks very much for your reply.

I did try the Repair Cache on the AdminCP for the Arcade and I tried the Clear System Cache but unfortunately, it still shows the forum.

Incidentally, it's installed on a subdomain rather than www. (just in case that makes a difference).

Thanks
Gene

I don't think it would, it's probably an issue with installing the new page content. We'll see once the update is live :)

OK .. Also, whilst I can Import games via the AdminCP, again if I attempt to play one (from the AdminCP) it gives me a

'Topic not found. You may have followed an invalid link or the topic may have been deleted or moved to another forum.' error

which makes me think something about reading the URL is not working correctly.

Anyway, of course I'l happily wait for your update.

<font size="3">vBArcade v2.0.2 Alpha 4</font>
Change: 5.0.4 is now the minimum required version
Change: Changed module wrapper to use the built-in template
Fix: Fixed various other CSS change issues
Fix: The avatar for the Welcome block is now the correct size

Thanks Fillip. The arcade page now shows correctly.

However, now when I submit a score (from an IBProArcade game at least) / when the game ends (I tried a few different games all from a previous IBProArcade install) and when the page returns it says that "You appear to be playing a game; starting this might forfeit that session."

I checked the 'sessions' table and it only showed the 'start' time. If I click 'Cancel Session' after - it does update the sessions table, but it's not recording any scores.

I tried quickly looking for a game from Mochi that I could submit a local score (I assume that's what it means, but I couldn't see anything that submitted a score - or possibly the game was, but it wasn't working for some reason).

Here are few recent log entries. I hope these might help discover why the scores are not being submitted.

Thanks very much for your time making this mod :)

When you import games, there should be a small message and a golden crown that says "Supports local scoring" if the game does indeed support it.

By default, Notices are suppressed - what version of PHP are you running? Does it hide the notices if you change the default error_reporting level to E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT ?

I'm using games supporting local scoring. Scores are not really saved locally.
