Hi John:

Version 1.0.5 seems to be working great on my boards. However, the Microstats hack alerted me to a minor problem with the software: The arcade_award_bit template is no longer being cached properly, where it was before with 1.0.2. (I had to add a plug-in in order to fix this problem.)

John,
I know you've been busy, congratulations on getting the latest release out.. But I was sad to see that the Mysql problems I (and others) encountered with the previous versions were not even addressed in this version.
Question: Does your arcade "uninstall" as easily as it installs?

Could you perhaps take a few minutes to explain "How to uninstall" your arcade should a database error be encountered?

I really think you'd make mileage out of your material if you'd listen to some of the real world problems people are having with the version and not try to ADD to the product before those problems are solved or at least a work-around provided. I see many, many questions here that simply go unanswered. I know you're busy trying your best to bring everthing to everyone.. But before we need a neat new scoring system, or multi-user ability.. I really think there should be some work done on how to FIX a database or safely UNINSTALL a product.
If you've answered the questions about uninstalling the arcade, either here or on the support site, please point out the messages, thank you for your time.

I've tried installing the games by uploading them to the games dir in the admincp and running the import script within admincp. I've also tried uploading the games in each of the directories manually then adding them - either way I get the same error.

I've posted this error twice in this forum with no anwswers, I've also posted on your site as well, nothing there either. I've found 2-3 other members on your site with the same error but also either got no reply or replies with nothing solving the problem.

Please advise.

Products - v3 arcade 1.0.5 pirated - unistall.

Ive just done an upgrade. Ran the clean script. Then installed the addon and made sure templates were correct. When I do the the step of "Game Importing" I get...

What have I done wrong?

--------

Oh good I followed...

//=================================\\
Upgrading from 3.0.x
\\=================================//

I guess that means I just delted my games database, my users will be impressed.

Upgrade from 1.0.2 to 1.0.5 went smoothly.
Thank you.

March 30th is for the branded version...if you have payed for branding free you can already download it.

I get that too. :(
Anyone have a fix?

I fixed it by clicking Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager then clicking to edit the admins permissions.

Jon offers as much support as a toilet paper bra. I doubt piracy is the problem.

sorry, gt used to sticking that next to stuff..

from places i know piracy is a every min thing.

Just curious about the solution, since I have the same errors :D

I have seen this done on other sites
You know on the main user display when they are posting
Like where the avatar and things are
Some sites have a scrolling message for certain users saying they are the champion of a certain game:confused:

How can i do this please...

LOL!! Ha ha ha... I totally agree. But you've got to realize that he's not getting paid to distribute this hack, nor is he getting paid to support it. We should all be grateful that he's even made it available for download here. But you're right, the lack of support is at times extremely annoying.

Yeah, was online on msn but just ignored me
Suppose he has no obligations to help

Anybody know how i can get the leaders of a certain game have the game and them being the leader shown on their profile when they post in the forums?

All help is appreciated...

First of all, I don't give support over MSN. Secondly, you were sending me messages on a weekend evening, at nearly 1am. Thirdly, my status was clearly set to "Busy". There's a support centre where 100% of tech support tickets and enquiries are answered.

Excuse me? Unless it's a stupid question, 100% of tickets in the support centre are responded to. There's not a single ticket awaiting a response in the support queue right now.

Yep, mine actually just got answered a few hours ago. So I'm going to put forth another one: how can I remove the border around the images on the main page of each game -- both the standard and mini. I tried changing the border="1" to border="0" in both game_bit templates, but that didn't work.

Then you have my sincere apology. Casting aside known support issues in the past, I'm glad to hear that things have turned around. Thank you, seriously.

(As an aside, you have to admit the toilet paper bra thing was funny.)

<--- would like to see a toilet paper bra :D


Well that's tricky, isn't it? The question certainly isn't "stupid" to the person asking the question, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the time to submit it to the support centre in the first place.

I ran the upgrade this evening, but ran into an issue. First, I lost every game that didn't come with the install of the v3arcade and second of those original games it reverted back the scores to the previous high before I reset my arcade scores.

Did I do something wrong and if so what did I do wrong or was this a known occurence?

Thx

Any ideas?

John,

I'm getting the same problem. I uploaded all games in swf format to the admincp/games directory, CHMODed the 3 directories to 0777 and I'm still getting that problem. Any ideas?

I'm curious if someone has any idea how I could "delete" a Challenge.

Somehow there is one "stuck" on my site. The user has no prompt to Accept / Deny. And I only have the ability to Accept, but when I do it says I've already played it.

Any query to delete it? or any other ideas?

The Third (heh) hack I downloaded since I baught vB!:banana:

Issue Resolved :)

How, exactly? Your solution may help someone else out in the future.

IN admin CP under default user settings, i get this error :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3123

In AdminCP Usergroups -> Usergroupmanager -> you must select the Arcade Permissions for the Usergroups first. This was my resolution to fight this error. :banana:

Do you have any argument for this conclusion ? :cool:

Other than it doesn't make sense to me, no. :banana:

By "stupid", I mean questions that anyone would class as stupid. Timewasting questions. Questions that have nothing to do with the arcade.

Same, any fix?

Re-add the plugin fix again.. :)

(Surprised that didn't get fixed..)

hey can someone enlighten me with how I know what version I currently have installed? Is there a simple way of knowing?

Go into your Plugin Manager -> Products. Look for v3Arcade and check the version number.

hrm I'm using the Advanced Plugin Manager and I don't see it...perhaps it's not something built into this mod. Can someone post a screen shot from their default plugin manager so I can see.

See attached...

Okay, noob questions coming in-but I need to learn this so here goes:

I downloaded the install to MY computer and install directions say to, "upload all the files from the "files" directory in this zip into your forums directory".

How do I do this (assuming FTP here) and then how do I access the forums directory using my plug in (first time using that-we just upgraded).

I DID manage to change my templates though! I just can NOT for the life of me figure out this other aspect of the install.

In addition, the former owner HAD the arcade up but removed the hack to try and upgrade vB herself. It didn't work, so I ended up paying for pro. upgrade myself. ANYWAYS, I know that the games she did have are still in the files and I really do think that the files for the v3arcade are still there too.

After I changed templates, I thought it would just allow us to access those files, but got this error instead;

mySQL query error: SELECT * FROM games_settings
mySQL error: No database selected
mySQL error code:
Date: Sunday 26th of March 2006 08:00:15 PM

I think I understand why this happened but again, being so new to this, I'm not sure how to fix this.

Please don't fall off your chair laughing at my obvious lack of techie know-how. I really DO want to learn-just need someone to hold my hand and walk me through something one time and I'll start to grasp all of this.

Thanks everyone.
