yeh its a great addition i've used the query but it doesn't fix the jackpot fluctuating

i wanted mine to be at 100 jackpot however it always defaults back to 500 and then goes doo lally with the increase on winning the jackpot even tho i didn't set one and at times i've tried setting it to 0 but this seems to have no effect

this seriously needs to be fixed

is this the one already included in the ushop or another one?

theres not one included in ushop this is the only arcade pass hack available for vb3

Its not included in ushop, however the two work together :)

yeh what he said :p

so how comes i got the action included in my ushop then :confused:

am not sure on that one but my guess is that the shops ready to intergrate with the arcade pass hence the settings being their already

but i'm guessing to finish the hack to work with the points u have to download this hack and install it
but don't take my word for it coz am not too sure
wait for the official word lols :p

Basiculy we left it as a default action, it can be turned off or removed if you dont want to use it, however if you do want to make use of it you would need to install this hack as well.

oooh goody, i'll isntall tomorrow then :)

installed btw :)

What about the prob me and LoneWolf or whatever are having? Any idea how we can fix that? Cause I really want this mod to work.

I am also getting the same error that Seany & NameWolf are getting...I really like this hack and hope to get it working as well :)

In your vboptions there is a section for arcade and you set what the default would be too.

I'd like to see this have an implementation that let's people bet money in challenges.

my board is setup with 3 groups .....

regular members
donators1
and donators2
and staff

i would like to make it so that

staff, donators1 , and donators2 groups all can play arcade without having a arcade pass.

i would like the regular members still be required to buy pass.

can this be done ?

How about addind Jack pots to the Arcade Challeneg feature... When you challenge somoen you can wager 300 points, if you lose, you lose 300 pts to your apponent, if you win, you get 300 points of his/hers...

Well my arcade pass has expired but I'm still able to play games. What is the fix for this?

I'm getting this error when trying to play a new game I installed

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.1:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE user SET uttpoints=uttpoints- WHERE userid='1'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE userid='1'' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

Not quite sure why...anyone help?

if u have installed a new game make sure u set the points for that game
ie the jackpot amount and
cost of play

Is that definately the problem? I think I did that, might have been with another game that was already installed though. I undid the template/file edits because of this...so if that's definately the problem...I'll re-do it.

Thanks

i get a database error when clicking on new games
until i set the cost and jackpot so i think it is that but i'm not totallly sure because i cant remember the query but it looks like the same one

the features are good but with so many problems ppl got I can't risk my board installing it along with UCS.
The problems occour but no one appears to answer.

i hear ya , quite frustrating
i wish they'd release a quick fix
but then again this hack has been labelled beta

I have yet to have an issue with this hack, I guess I am lucky

ur forums don't seem to have jackpot set thats probably why u haven't had a problem

Okay, seems to have worked.

What happens when users run out of points/cash? Does it just show a no permission page?

If so...can somebody make it so it goes to a page that says you don't have enough points to play, you can get points by doing either of the following things...and then have it show the things that have been enabled, such as how many points per thread made, per reply, referal etc.

Could anyone do that?

Just signed in as a user with 0 posts and it says you need more points to play. It would still be good if you could get it to say how to get the points, and the amount you get for doing such things

Does the pass expire over a period of time?

Bit of a Fix for your starting points in the arcade:

up this query on your forum

note you can change the base cost from 25 per game to what you want, and jackpot from 100 to what ever ya want.

hope that helps a bit :)

I tried to run that query but I received this error:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

i have my jackpost all set at 50 with a 5 point increase ....

however its doing a 25 point increase instead ......

anyone know how to fix?

i fixed it :

i changed the line in arcade.php

from:


to:

its was adding the cost of the game to the increase setting then adding
it to the jackpot .......

I have one small problem, after installing everything and running the queries I still don't have a Arcade pass hack option in the admincp. Also the arcade will still let you play games even with the price set at 1000. It's kind of weird, games that have been played have a link to play them and games that have not been played do not have a link! Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bigwrenn

EDIT- I now have the Arcade pass hack options in the admincp but still have problems with the game links being active on certain games!

Bigwrenn do you have UCS installed ?
nice work teksigns, I am going to install this and UCS at a time.

UCS? If you mean a points system, yes.

I'm still having an issue with the jackpots being reset to 500 even though in my admin settings I have it set to 50. The initial jackpot is correct, but once someone wins it the jackpot goes up to 500.

I have installed the hack Arcade_Pass_Hack_v3_[2004-03-01]_30_Beta and this hack, but when I type this url in my browser I only get a 404 error.

anyone know what is the problem?

go to vbulletin options and in the listbox there should be an option to set arcade pass

change that value to the same as u want ur games
that is the 500 that it keeps resetting to

thank you that fixed all of my arcade pass problems i've been having

Thanks! That was very simple to fix. I don't know how I missed it since I had just changed the price of an arcade pass last week. :ermm:

It would be cool if there was an option for FREE PLAY mode. People who chose this mode won't see the price or the jackpot, since they couldn't quality for it. If you wanted a shot at the pot, you'd have to pay for a ticket. How hard would this be?
