now updated ;)

I have installed the ibparcade on my site http://IJFG.com, it is great.
However when I added a few games a few minutes ago, I got the following errors:

Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0 in /arcade/functions/tar.php on line 794

I have added many games in the past with no problems. This time I downloaded 6 games
from ibpro site, when I installed , I got the above error message. The 6 games are:

game_hammerthrowTAY
game_spbob_Sea_MonsterTh
game_3DPokerV32PC
game_batandmouse2JS
game_PolePositionJS
game_fifaworldcup2006Th

So what caused the problem?

Thanks.

2 things.

1. Use the support forum section for support on the arcade.
2. These are issues with the games themselves. Certain games when compiled by whomever compiled them to work, sometimes didn't make them truely universal. You'll find probably maybe 1 or 2 per 100 games are goofed and unusable.


FYI, a way around those goofed games is sometimes placing all the files in their proper location instead of using the automatic un-taring function and installing them manually. Info on how to do that if you don't know can be found in the support forums. Link is in the "creation post" of this thread.

(This forum section is about the arcade platform. Which is a platform to run games created by others all around the world. The creator of this arcade isn't responsible for or have much knowledge of what games are out there and who is making them and if they work or not. He just maintains the script that makes it possible to play these games. The working games that is.)

Upgraded 2 weeks from v3arcade to ibProArcade and everything was running well till today and now getting the message below, the guy that looks after my server said to contact the owner of the arcade, so can any of you help.

mySQL query error: SELECT userid FROM user WHERE username='city til' I die'

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 'I die'' at line 1
mySQL error code:

Edit that users name removing the ' ' ' from there name. Its causing issues and will do the same with other mods for vbulletin possibly.

After you do that. AdminCP>Arcade>Scoring Tools>Update Usernames to resort the mess and I think you will be good.

Please use the support forums instead of here in the future. Link is in HUGE green text in the starter post of this thread.

for upgrade my ibProArcade need to download everythin? or only the PHP ?

everything - this is the secure way :)

Im getting this error all of a sudden when trying to view the arcade:

EDIT: actually, i'm getting that error when trying to view any arcade function, period.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

not that I don't think it's been answered less than 300 times in the thread...

But where do I get more games?
