No its not cause I have 10 members with IE6 and they have no problem recording their scores.

Thats funny, when I go to windows update, it always gives me an error :ermm:

MadCat thats the answer then as it was doing the same to me, I found out that you need to set the language in IE go to Tools Internet Options Languages and set it too English US and that should fix the update thing then that might even fix it for it too work for you :)

Yes I did it..... it works! Hooray!

ok it seems as though the games arent loading or its taking very long!

Make sure your game directory is set correctly.

Madcat you owe him $50 now lmao.

He'll have to fly to CA to come get it :p

Lmao take ya losses man lmao.

You are absolutely correct. It is the language. Great fix!

Thanx guys.

Well actually I dont owe anyone $50 cuz my friend Amanda came up with the fix first :p

Then why Mad Cat were you asking for help :x anyways your welcome people for the long a waited fix :) ;)

I was asking for help because my friend didnt know the solution until like a short while before you came up with it.

Sorry she just beat you to the punch thats all.... then I saw your post too. Anyways its not like I didnt need help.... I really did, just that she fixed it then I saw your post

/me shrugs

Hi all,

Been awhile. I'm sure many are ticked that I have been away from this thread. Life has taken a number of twists for me that have kept me out of here, but I am starting to get some time back.

Anyway, worthwhile points to note:

#1] vbProArcade is installed and working under vBulletin v3.0 Beta 6 on my test site. I will not, under any circumstances, be distributing this until v3.0 is officially released, as per the Beta license agreement. Since the hack is mostly self-contained, updating it to work with vBulletin 3 was really not all that difficult.

#2] There will still be one final release for v2.x and it should be soon.

Great, will be looking forward to your v2.x release, Glad to have ya back :) !!!

In the final version of the 2x version of the arcade, is it possible to add,

Hall of Fame, Hack or wish list hack, I'd do it my self but I don't know php well enough yet...

How it would work:
At the end of the month have a feature to wipe the current database scores in the arcade, and move the top 5 players for each game to a hall of fame page.

So on the hall of fame you would have

Hall of Fame
March, 2003, top 5 players per game
April, 2003, top 5 players per game
May 2003, top 5 players per game

this would help keep the size of the arcade down..

Bugs:
- Wipe Arcade doesn't work

again welcome back :)

Thanks for the feedback. The wiping function was fixed in the versions I am running. Hall of Fame is a good idea, I will see about adding that for sure.

Part of the problem I had with designing/debugging the hack was that I did it all in a production environment, which was certainly not the smartest thing. That's where some of the bugs (especially the template ones) came from.

I'll have more info soon.

Sweet Can't wait man :)

futureal, I have two licences for vbulletin, I can setup a test enviroment for bugs on the arcade if needed for a bit :) I also can help with any css and xhtml conversion if needed, and template design :)

Glad you're finally back! I was starting to cry! :cry:

Installed on vbulletin 2.3.2 w/ vbportal 2.3.0 RC2 and with four different themes....here http://www.g-hub.com

Just a suggestion for themes...the themes colours that are good for vbulletin and vbportal sometimes make the templates for ProArcade look really bad, ie. no contrast between the text and background....can ProArcade have its own independent color table that is editable from Admin CP??

Will it be hard for me to upgrade to future versions of ProArcade once I've installed Beta2?

It should be pretty easy to go from Beta 2 to future versions -- at least vB 2.x versions -- but don't quote me on that. There should really only ever be one more 2.x version.

The templates are going to be re-done to use the correct colors very shortly. They were a total hack job when I did them the first time, and then I spent the remainder of my development time on the features, and not on the templates so much.

if you need help with templates let me know ;)

So cool you consider adding a Hall Of Fame, today I was about to wipe out records for this month and I already moved top record members to a hall of fame, manually.

Until the update comes in, can/has any1 beable to reset scores already?

Reading past posts about this issue seems does not help.

Btw, i'm still running it onto 2.3.0....

Another Idea other than the hall of fame I had, would be for someone to add, Store System addon for the arcade once the next version is out.

I think link made something at one point but I think that addon is dead.

What I'd like to see in addon..
Store addon,
- Jackpot System, based on 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th place. if members don't beat the score points pool to jackpot would build up for each game, if members get one of the top 5 scores, based on a points setting in admin cp, the player would get a portion of the jackpot at that given time, if they gest 1st place they would get the full jackpot of points. have the points link with your bank/store hack.

anyway thats my idea and I'm sticking to it, anyone want to make it or future you up for it as added feature?

Another thought would be arcade pass system, where members have to pay so many points to play the arcade games, and or buy a store arcade ticket... To play and compete with the jackpot system.

by having the hall of fame system which I listed a few posts back, each month your database would be kept small, this only issues is to make sure people don't loose points in the jackpot system when the database is wiped and top 5 of each score is put into a hall of fame...

I'm not an expert yet at php, but I think this would make a killer system for the arcade. I can help with template design and setup as well if needed ..

what ya guys think of the ideas?

The hall of fame would be a good addition and pixelfx idea to let it work with the store/bank hack to.

There are games as slots, poker and blackjack and i wonder if these games could work together with the bank/store in a way that they not only make the score but in the same time the points in the bank, extract by losing or add by submit.

I don't plan on writing a store-based part of the hack since I don't have a need for anything like that on my forums, and I would rather concentrate on the other aspects of the hack itself (e.g. Hall of Fame). That would be a natural add-in, though I would suggest waiting for the new versions -- especially the vB3 version -- before working on it.

PixelFx, I will let you know about the templates. I have made a number of physical changes to them for Beta 2.1, so you'd have to look at those first. If you'd like to test the install of Beta 2.1, get in touch with me and I will send it to you when it's ready. I am sure the upgrade process will need to be tweaked and alll that before it hits general release.

You can find me as futureal in #vborg on irc.devcore.co.uk most often. I am idling there 24/7 now.

Ok dont know if this is any use to anyone but i couldnt get my games to load and it pi**ed me off :p so i tried movin them. I placed all of the games in my root folder and then changed the link in the proarcade options from /games/ too /forum/ Blah any way the games work perfect now so hope it helps anyone else (knowin me this has probably been posted by someone already)

You could also just have removed the initial forwardslash and left them in the games directory ;) ^^

that works aswell? ARghhh damnit lol

GRrrrrrr damn you it does work aswell Booo i thought i was beein smart figurin it out :( lol

That /games/ isues comes up a lot in the 107 posts ;)
note: future make note to add change in next update ;)

ug getting names confused :P

At the very least I need to modify the admin template so it tells people that if it doesn't work, to change the slash. The original setup was totally intuitive to me but I guess real-world applications are somewhat different! :)

I will more games... :(
have anybody more games for this hack? :)

Theres a whole thread dedicated to the games ;)

Hi @LL,

after reading through all these pages and having seen that many people have massive problems with the uploading of thumbnails it took me now 1 day to find the problem.

I have tested it with Windows 2000, latest Apache and latest MySQL version. UPLOAD worked FINE !!! :nervous:

I have tested it with SuSe 8.2 and Redhat 8.0 and latest Apache and latest MySQL version. UPLOAD FAILED !!! No error MSG.

On all three machines same settings for PHP and MySQL. But it worked on Windows and it did NOT work on any linux. :cry:

So i went through all variables and through the source code and made some changes. Now it works on all three OS. :banana:

Anyone interested in these changes ? Does some people still have this upload problem ? I would share my changes. :cool:

Cheers,

Pseudomizer

THX :D

I play that all tonight :)

Hi Pseudomizer,

I'm very interested in these changes, cause I have these upload probs.
Please share it!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Magic Spark,

please find in the proarcadeadmin.php the following source code in line 170:

and replace this with the following:

This should solve your problem.

Pseudomizer,

I'll try it.

Thank you so much for your help!
