- - Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade - Games Arcade System for 3.6.0 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114012)

So I installed everything and made the template modifications as required without any hitches. For some reason I am not able to see the arcade though. I have the permissions set to allow me and I don't see a thing. I am using a different style than the default VB but that shouldn't matter right? I placed the images in the proper folder as requested and also placed them in the images folder for my style. I have set the options in the AdminCP to what's appropriate. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Sorry for my noobness.

Nope. I double checked that I made the appropriate template edits. I'm stuck.:erm:

Thx for the help bro. I am able to access the arcade from the direct url so it's most likely an issue with the style I am using. But your help lets me know It's all installed correctly and I just have to sort out the templates.

Thx again!:D

It's a nice hack and I have it installed on my forum.
But the negative thing is that there are no games available to download! Or maybe it's me who couldn't find any!

Regarding v3 Arcade not supporting IBPro's v32 games...

Here is a plugin I did to add such support. See the attached file.

If you want a improved 'iB "Pro" Arcade - Mass Game Import' function you also has to edit the arcadeadmin.php file.
This improvement also copies the gamedata folder in the tar package.
Note that the empty file v32game.txt is not copied (nor an empty index.html, if there are any).
This doesn't matter if you use my plugin since that file isn't checked anyway.

How to do it:
Import the attached file 'iB Pro v32 Arcade Game Compatibility.xml' as a plugin.
(Via "Plugin & Products" > "Download / Upload Plugins" > "Import Plugin Definitions XML File" in your Admin CP.)

Create the folder "arcade" in the forum root.
Create the folder "gamedata" in the newly created "arcade" folder and CHMOD it to 777.

Edit the file admincp/arcadeadmin.php
Warning! Copy the original arcadeadmin.php first, just in case...
You are doing this at your own risk. This will copy and delete files on your server. Don't blame me if anything goes wrong.

                            fclose($handle);

                        }            

                    }

Done!

OBS! I don't guarantee this work for every v32 game, I don't guarantee it will work at all actually.
But it is being used and seems to work... I just don't guarantee anything :)

/SK

just for your information: it is not enough just to make it possible to install and uninstall those v32-games, you also need massive changes in incoming score-handling from those games, as they call some other function, use additional variables and encrypt the score itself and (in v33 games) even the GameID.
If you don't support those new communication between the new v32/v33-games and v3arcade mainscript, scores won't record or be totally messed up...

It's a simplified version of it, for sure. But it handles those requests.

Ok, I now saw the PlugIns you provide, sorry.

But you return static values for the encryption-algorythm and you even never verify any crypted values if they may be cheated/modified or not. You just pass any value to the scores and save it.

The main avvantage of v32/v33 games is the improved security and cheat-protection using the encryption and verify-system...
