hmm i receive a database error
how can i fix this error? please help me

That appears to be an error from v3 Arcade, judging from the language group it is trying to access, plus arcadetourmnt.php is not a file added by vBArcade.

What were you doing when you got that error? Sounds like you still have a link to that file somewhere on your site, but because you have uninstalled v3 Arcade, that orphaned file has no supporting resources to access, so you get that. Find the lingering links and remove them, and delete that arcadetourmnt.php.

i delete arcadetourmnt.php and works now.
i use auto. database backup everyday and i received a info email with these error

thank you :)

I cannot install games, I get memory error messages and I am on a dedicated box. ???

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9376073 bytes) in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/forums/dbtech/vbarcade/functions_arcade.php on line 126

You seem to be trying to untar a particularly large game file (looks like 8MB and you have a memory limit of 32M). Does it work with other games you have (smaller ones!)?

Not a whole lot can be done about it because its not an optimization issue, short of increasing your memory limit.

Thanks, I increased the limit and it installed loads of games in the import folder. :D:up:

Any advice on what to do to make it save scores, I get a security token error.

I am almost ready with an update to vbarcade for hopefully this weekend, that includes the handful of reported bugs that have been patched, optional vbcredits integration support, and even some ie7 fixes for the layout (which incidentally will make it easier for vb3 porting)

Wow, this actually boils down to a typo! In (forum)/(admincp)/arcade_admin.php find:

and replace with

Do you have an .htaccess file in your forum root? Did you get any installation errors when you imported the vbarcade product xml? Do any games work with scoring?

Yes I have a .htaccess file, no errors when importing product, no games save score. Also after playing a game for the first time all other games come up with this when I go to play them.

Same issue here

Just installed this on my live board, ran the import and lost all the high scores, not too bothered about that, but having difficulty with a lot of the games i have as they dont save, in the game box my forum appears for a short while then screen reloads and no scores are saved

Any joy on the update ?

update to 4.1.8 removed ARCADE from the navbar, how can it be put back!

I fixed it.

Astriods when done and you click OK, it says CAN NOT ACCESS GAME TABLE. What is this? I have many other games that I loaded to the arcade and they are working fine., recording scores!

Any reason why the scores are not submitting to my forum?

Hi,

I have installed this mod, i have the moshi ID's in place but get this when trying to import games ?

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in [path]/dbtech/vbarcade/systems/moc.php on line 100

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.mochimedia.com/feeds/game...it=25&offset=0) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in [path]/dbtech/vbarcade/systems/moc.php on line 100

How do i fix this ? And how else can i install games ?

Thanks

Also just noticed when this mod is installed i get this error when trying to view a PM ??


Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in [path]/includes/class_postbit.php(345) : eval()'d code on line 5

Uninstalled the mod and the error is gone...

Ask your host to enable allow_url_fopen in your php.ini settings - that being disabled only prevents you from using the feed-based import methods; the others should work fine (including downloading games from mochi and using the upload import method).

The fix for that was posted here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....5&postcount=23

Can you get a screenshot of that error? that shouldnt be something the arcade would ever say, so it sounds like the game itself might be doing that.

When you did the import from an existing install, did you check the box to include previous scores? What browser are you using?

If all of you have an .htaccess file in your forum root, PM me an admin login and ftp so I can make sure your games are rerouting the scores to the correct place.

Not sure why you need access to my FTP and VB admin.

Sorry i am not passing details over.

Could you guide us on what is going wrong if not then i will move on to another arcade system.

Regards

All my errors seem to be on Internet Explorer, what a pile of crap that browser is, all perfect on firefox and chrome.

In my testing, this fixed playing games in IE9-7 at least - please confirm, since the guy who originally reported this at our site never got back to me :D

Unfortunately, this addon is new enough for me to only have a couple "common" causes to why scoring isnt working. As those are exhausted quickly, I generally can't recall every possible thing that could be happening (could even be a server thing ive yet to know about). In the meantime, it will always be vastly faster for both of us if I can get directly to your problematic setup and debug directly with the games you are using to figure out what your specific problem is - and upon finding that solution, ill have another bullet point to check with the next guy.

Keep in mind that you can always create both temporary and limited versions of your admincp accounts and ftp accounts to cater specifically to where and what I might need access to, and I would be happy to walk through what I'm doing over IM or something. But that's of course entirely up to you, and wish you luck with support if you decide to try elsewhere.

I think you should stick to trying to fix your product instead of slagging off the competition....don't forget the other arcades both work, are arguably better and FREE. I'd respect you more and expect better from a 'company' if you didn't come out with sh*t like this.

Worked the first time, game played and saved scores, but after that the "You appear to be playing a game;starting this might forfeit that session." message appears, then it does the same bug again..

I think that's a bit of an overreaction there Gemma, though as a fellow Scot I'll put it down to our fiery nature =P.

I don't think John meant what you're reading into his comment there to be honest, I read it as a throwaway good luck elsewhere with individual support if you are uncomfortable with allowing developers access to debug issues.

Either way, to clear up any possible misconceptions and make our position official: Our feedback from users has not at any point indicated the support for Gemma's mods is poor compared to other mods on vBulletin.org. We have no reason to believe the support of her mods is in any way, shape or form bad or lacking, and while I can't speak from personal experience of her work anyone who has worked on a mod as long as she has deserves praise =).

Obviously we'd argue about the better part though! =D

Iain

Is that when the screen returns to start a replay, or when playing any other game afterwards?

Hi thanks for the reply, i must of missed that post :eek:

One other thing, i also have your thanks/likes mod installed both awesome mods :D

One slight issue is the post bit stuff is all messed up looking... Im sure it's easily fixed when you know how, i have just imported over from phpbb so im a bit new to vb...

See attached image. Any tips would be much appreciated...

Still getting the message, but games seem to work ok today ??
Next up is the IE formating issues ;)

Still no problems here ... very pleased with it....:up::D

Get the following error when trying to install this on our test forum.

What would likely be causing that?

I keep getting a playing screen about 1/3 the size of the designated area for playing. Any clue?

Having the same issue only in IE, so I can verify this.

I hadn't reported it because I was just assuming it was among the other IE glitches that are planned to be fixed in the next version =)

Yeah, same thing happens to me in IE too...

Thanks to everyone who nominated vbarcade for MOTM!

Here are the current reasons why scores might not be submitting on your site:

• The permissions for you and that game have not been set to Score
• The game has been set to not accept scoring
• The game has been set to the wrong scoring system
• Your game session has not submitted the score
• Your .htaccess file has not been altered correctly (usually indicated by errors during product import)
• Your arcade is set to archive your non-best scores, and that was not your best score

The first bullet is most likely, the next two are USUALLY set automatically, MOST games will have a well-informed score submission time (though I've seen games that send without telling you, and some that don't actually send despite claiming it), the fifth bullet will usually throw installer errors/messages, and the last bullet should at least show some scores from somewhere being saved.


Do only specific games, or specific scoring systems, or all games not save scoring for yourself, specific usergroups, or everyone?

If you have checked all of those and think its all correct, please PM me an admin login and FTP so I can look into it.

Create an empty .htaccess file in your forum root and make it writable. Then run the installer again to apply the contents to it.

Did you edit your postbit templates to include special classes or something to the items in the postbit?

Can I get a screenshot of this happening? Unfortunately the first one that got posted was of the entire desktop and has been skewed such that its difficult to figure out which dimensions of the game are incorrect :-/ Alternatively, if someone wants to PM me an admin login with style permissions I can verify that I've got this taken care of in the next update.

I'm actually trying to include vbcredits integration in the next version, or at least all the hooks in place that im going to want. All of the bugs reported so far have been taken care of.

Looks like that did it, thanks. When we're installing on the live forum, simply making our existing .htaccess file writable will be enough, will it?

@Darkwaltz, will Pm my test board details for you to look at, hope this helps..

Man, thanks. I was losing my MIND trying to figure out what was causing that, never even dawned on me it could be linked to the arcade......DOH !!!!

Is there a time limit whenplaying games, installed a few games today and if your only on for a short time it saves ok, but if your on them for a long time it does not save, in the arcade box a small shot of my forum appears and thenjust goes back to normal and no saving of the scores..
