It is in my root..... thats why I asked you where it went, I added to my root and it added it else where so , I see it doesn't go there, because I uploaded right to my root folder as I have the mod and other mods...

The way I have it set up is a little different , but anyways its there now but I can't add some stuff directly to my root I have to manually add certain things , because if I don't it will add a folder first then it, thats why i asked, sorry I should of been more clear.

It is there now.

nm yes I have the Mochi HTML file in my root .

If you want me to have a look at your setup, PM me a temporary admin account and FTP details and I'll have a look.

okies give me a few days or less I will pm it to you Thanks alot.

I've set this up on 2 forums I admin over the past few days and am noticing the same error as many when it goes to save score in Mochi games, gets the permission error, and dumped out of arcade. Standard games like Asteroids and IPB stuff I've seen no issues.

What I have come to the conclusion for at least on my end, and my installs, is that this is happening for Mac / Safari users (aka me) but when I test on my Windows laptop in IE/Firefox it works flawlessly.

Has anyone else experienced errors with Safari, and found any workarounds? Did a little net searching with no luck and found nothing to help here or at the vba support forums.

Did you go through all the process of verifying your site on Mochimedia.com; uploading the html file or using the verifying code. Enter your Publisher ID etc and upload the crossdomain.xml to your site root?

Do Mochi games score for players using Windows and IE/FF etc?

If you play Mochi games on another site with v3 Arcade or on Mochimedia do the scores submit using your Mac/Safari set up?

I've no real experience of using Mac's and I'm no longer running v3 Arcade so you might be better off trying to contact the developer on vBAdvanced.com or on here.

But being honest, production, development and support has stopped since it moved to vbAdvanced

Import Games Does Not work,when Start to Mochi - Game Import (Local) get this error,how to fix this error?
Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in /home/user/public_html/admincp/v3arcade_admin.php on line 1354

Did you make your admincp/games folder writeable? And did you enter the correct url into the settings page on Mochi under the Auto Post Settings?

Also, you've not renamed your admincp to something else have you?

Thanks !This issue fixed ! can you give me link where i can get many more game for Import ? without Mochimedia.com ! Mochimedia.com is advertisers when start to game wait 10 sec !

I'll send you a PM about game sites.

Yeah after I started poking around I noticed that it's been pretty defunct. I'll keep trying to get it up for a while and if it persists to be an issue I'll either dump it or find a suitable replacement (vbArcade).. Always a shame when a dead mod is up still and you sink in the hours to later realize you might need to re-do the effort lol.

@theoutlawed

What are the contents of your crossdomain.xml file. There might be some extra rules you can add?

Also, if you want to try out Mochi games on my site to see if they submit, let me know and I'll bump your account up to full member so you can try.

Anyone having problems with IPB games not saving scores, download the attachment I've added to this post, extract the file and upload the v3arcade_index_compatibility.php file to your includes folder - overwriting the existing file.

Anyone receiving this error when importing Mochi games, Fatal error: Must set URL with set_option(VURL_URL, $url) in [path]/includes/class_vurl.php open your class_vurl.php file and find:

Either delete that code or comment it out and re-upload the file.

Is there a way to increase the width of Logged in as box so the user's avatar fits in it?

I'm fairly sure (haven't checked) avatars for Registered Users fit since they're 100 x 100, but all staff have 200 x 200.

I'm back to using dual arcades. :D

@Amaury25

Open the v3ARCADE_MAIN template and find:
Change that to:
Next find:
Change that to:
You might need to play about with the 250 and 280 values but that should widen the sidebar.

Also, round about post #47 there is some discussion about resizing avatars (if needed)

Removed, I misunderstood the post.

That's cause I fixed it for you :p ;)

235px for the first one and 250px for the second one got it perfect. :)

Amen and thanks for that too!!!

Uploading the file in the attachment in post #934, overwriting the existing one, should fix your problem with highscores only saving when the game is played for the first time which I seen you posted about on vBAdvanced.

Installed, and working great!

where can i get more games that allow me to save highscores (not Mochi ones).

IVe got some games here which installed and ran ok, but when the game was complete it redirected me to the forum home instead of letting me save any scores, so ive removed them again for now?

Google will help you find games - search for IPB Arcade games download - sorry you can't list games sites on here.

Highscores not saving could be due to numerous things.......

1. Games aren't highscore compatible - IPB, v3 Arcade or Mochi Games
2. You are running either vB CMS or vBAdvanced CMPS and need to make an edit to your index.php (it is mentioned any times in this thread)
3. You have a htaccess file with rules in it that 'bypass' your index.php
4. You have disabled the Arcade Forumhome Info & Index Compatibility plugin

The most common issue is running a portal and not editing your index.php

My forum isn't sending out emails to notify people when they have been challenged.

• Email notifications for received private messages, new posts in subscribed threads, and forums go out.
• In v3arcade default user settings, all are set to yes
• Just in case, I ran the Set Challenge Permissions for All

Where else should I look to troubleshoot this?

thanks,
bw

The 'Default User Settings' function will only work for newly registered members, it won't work for members who are already registered.

Are the arcade settings set to accept notification by email in the UserCP?

I've not had any problems with email notifications for beaten scores, tournaments or challenges and cannot reproduce any error of non-delivered email notifications.

edit: YOu would need to get the users to updated their settings manually, or if you want everyone to be notified by email (or PM) you could probably do a database query.

Hi Gemma

I installed v3 after most of my members were already here, so if the initial default is to have no notifications, and there is no way to change that globally then I guess the database query is the only option. Maybe in a future upgrade it could be set the same way that admins can globally change the challenge permissions to force all members to allow challenges initially. Just a thought.

Back here in the present, though, I tried looking through the database to find the table that holds the settings so I could run the query as you suggested, and can't find the one that holds these settings. Do you happen to know which table these settings reside?

Thanks

That is something you would need to ask the developers about. Due to the lack of activity from Brian I am unsure whether we will ever see an update of the arcade

I'm assuming there is settings stored in the database. I'll have a look later and let you know

Ok, some super-crazy combinations here. I've not worked them all out and I'd advise you to probably set everything to YES then let your members switch off as desired. Here are the queries I managed to determine.

Everything to YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '1023'

Allow Challenges set to YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '1'

Allow Challenges and Auto-Accept set to YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '3'

Allow Challenges, Auto Accept, Email Notification and Tournament Events

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '519'

Allow Challenges, Auto Accept, Use Email, Use PM and Tournament Events

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '527'

Allow Challenges, Auto Accept, Use Email, Use PM, High Score Beaten, When Challenged and Tournament Events

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '575'

Everything EXCEPT Email Notifications Set To YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '1019'

wow. thank you for the extensive work. I'll run that today.

So has vbAdvanced dropped this mod? If there are no updates, then vb5 will essentially kill it off. Not good news for us Arcade Junkies!

Thanks again for going the extra mile to create that query. It is a big help in getting things hopping again with the games.

This and Current Version: 2.0.3 (Released 06-08-2011) nailed the coffin shut for me... Unfortunately will be porting to another developers arcade with whom I seem to be running more and more of their software....

I've no idea what vB Advanced plans are for the arcade or their own products, this is just my opinion but it doesn't look very promising. The lack of activity on their site is worrying. The arcade should have been updated when vB 4.2 came out to address the navigation changes and there are bugs in the system that need fixed. There are individual posts here that will fix everything but it really should all be working out of the box.

Saying that though - this, again in my opinion, is still the best and most stable arcade system.........it just lacks the required support which leaves a cloud over future production.

I agree with Gemma. It is a good system and the only one that will play Mochi Games. Which completely removes the effort of finding legal arcade games that users can play.

DragonBytes vBArcade will play these as well.

As you can see from the 2 screen shots I provided the text Tournaments awaiting players is not showing when logged out. Only when logged in. How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Thanks!!!!

Actually, the main reason I'm running two arcades is because DBT's wasn't stable - I had major issues with games scoring and playing over various browsers. But this isn't a thread for discussing other arcade systems so we'll stop there.

You're welcome :)

Hello Gemma -

As an fyi, I ran the queries you provided above. The email notifications and pms now both work. Thanks for coming up with that. I know it wasn't easy.

Is there a way to allow guests to view and play games but their scores will/would not be recorded?
