question i installed a PNflashgames game and when im done it dont submit score nothing it a free game on there site.... bar slide i was wondering do these work or no for keeping score and if so how do i make it work?

pnflash games .zip games didnt work for me...

any one can tell me the way to install pnflashgames (*zip free download)

Thnx.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but does anyone know if version 2.5.5 will include vbPlaza integration? Very eagerly awaiting this. :)

Send me a PM or post a link to the game in question - it might not have the correct score submit routine. If we have the author's permission, the routine can be added to the .swf file.
Is there anyway you could .tar the files, instead .zip? There are many different compression algorythyms for .zip files, and your installed copy of vB may not be able to recognize it as a valid .zip. There are far fewer algorythyms for .tar files, making them more likely to be recognized and handled correctly.
I don't believe so. v2.5.5+ looks as though it's going to be more of a stabilization release for some of the code that MrZ "inherited" from Chris Kelly. As far as I've been able to tell, it looks as though it will be focused on three main areas:

1. Enhanced Score Tools
2. Enhanced and Stabilized Tournaments
3. Addresses the vBulletin "time-out" error that some users were experiencing

There probably is more, but I'm not "privy" to that information :p

hi peeps

dont matter its working now lol

yeah in 2.5.4 im getting a timeout when you play long on a game... basiclly say you play for 5 mins on a game and win high score then go to submit it... it wont it times out...

In v2.5.5+ there won't be any timeout anymore :)

The Release of 2.5.5 is getting closer, just working on the last topics to prepare the package ...

Will there be hooks available??? :drool:

WOOT!!

MrZ you R0xor my s0xorz!

Does this or is there a mod that will let my member's play on a new page after they click on the game they wish to play?

There is a link next to "play" that says "Play In New Window" which you can even enlarge to full screen!

I like iBProArcade (for it is what I have installed) but the new v3Acade has multiplayer gaming (although I have yet to see a game released with it) is this something that iBProAcade is planing to intergrade. I also like the idea of having an all catergory and a random catergory - what are the chances of making this happen or getting it added.

You can easily define an "all" category, just check the category-settings :)

Random Category is nice idea, maybe that is something I can quickly build in :cool:

Mutliplayer-Gaming is supported via PNflashgames, but they recently stopped their Multiplayer-Games, I am waiting for this to come back.

If there are multiplayer-Games in a "new format" available we will try to implement them, too. There is even some plan to extend the list of compatible Games to other Arcade-Systems ...



Just wait for ibProArcade v2.5.5+ which is about to come *whistle*

question MrZeropage as you seen my forum i have alot of games over 900 in there own categories lol will the upgrade be easy? or will i lose my games?

Sorry, I looked but with over 100 pages ....

I have the v3 arcade which uses the arcade.php file. When installing this arcade it also has the arcade.php file. I changed the arcade.php to ibproarcade.php till I figure out how to make the ibproarcade go to it and not arcade.php which is the v3 arcade.

Any suggestions?

*twiddles thumbs* My finger is getting numb hitting refresh to catch v2.5.5:banana:

I don't see any problem with renaming the arcade.php file at the root of the forums, and making a link to the renamed file to launch ibProArcade, but you can't rename the 2 others that are further down in the ibProarcade directory structure, because of the fact that it's hard coded.
In terms of the scores being submitted to the correct place, this is an example of the actionscript that I and other game converters add to the .swf files to submit the score:So theoreticaly, as long as it can reconcile that statement, it should work in terms of submitting the score to the correct arcade.
Note that the file structure is logically very similar, i.e.:/arcade/images, /arcade/tar, /arcade/zip, etc. - so be careful not to overwrite any existing files or directories, although at these levels, most file names should be unique.

@DementedMindz:
Upgrading is very easy, you just need to upload all Files to your Server and update the Product-XML (on vBulletin 3.5.x) :)

@VTXcafe.com:
What exactly do you want ? Test ibProArcade before migrating to it ?

^^^^

Also to create an All catergory I can't label it All for it needs 4 charcs. is there a way to change that to like 3 charc. so the word All can be used.

Thanks a lot............i knew it had to be that simple.

We are using ibproarcade v2.5.4 on vBulletin 3.5.4. We just installed a vBAdvanced CMPS v2.l.0 Portal. We renamed the CMPS file to Index.php.

We had the problem of when we submitted a score it popped up the CMPS Portal.

We placed this code we found in the Arcade Zip file for vBAdvanced portals
and it didn't work. It said parse error on line 2. The forums also disappeared.
This is the code we used. Is there an error in it or is there something new for VB 3.5.4?

Quote:
If you are using vbAdvanced Portal and your /index.php is not the original one from vBulletin,
you have to edit your alternate index.php:

open index.php

At the very beginning of the File, right after:
----------------------------------------------------------
<?php
----------------------------------------------------------

you have to insert:
----------------------------------------------------------
// ibProArcade modification
if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames"){
$_GET[act] = "Arcade";
$_GET['module'] = "arcade";
}
if($_POST['func'] == "storeScore"){
$_GET['do'] = "pnFStoreScore";
}
if($_POST['func'] == "saveGame"){
$_GET['do'] = "pnFSaveGame";
}
if($_POST['func'] == "loadGame"){
$_GET['do'] = "pnFLoadGame";
}
$act = $_GET[act];
$showuser= $_GET[showuser];
if($act == "Arcade") {
include "arcade.php";
exit();
}
if(!empty($showuser) && $showuser >= 1) {
$u = $showuser;
$_GET[u] = $showuser;
include "member.php";
exit();
}
// end of ibProArcade modification
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone help us with this?

i have a question say i wanted to name my index.php file to home.php or whatever.php the arcade scores wont submit will they? cause dont they look for index.php? or is there a way to get around this?

here kellee88 try this... Enter the full path to your forum in the file....

Thank you. It was my understanding that this is already there.
$forumpath = ' '; This is what you have in your attachment.

My forumpath reads
$forumpath = './'; which is different from yours.

well that is the stock index file with just the code added to it you have to enter in your forum path where it says to it has a example right above it if you open the file up you will see right above there this
Example: /home/vbadvanced/public_html/forum

so you have to change yours to what ever your path is for it to work mine is just /home2/public_html but its how mine is set up view your php info in your admincp to see your right forum path and setting....

I had it that way and vbadvanced change it back to the original. I am able to set up the portal and everything works except the arcade submits to the portal.

If it is that simple then why does arcade give us the above code. That code is for people with an arcade who are using a portal. It is supposed to make the arcade submit to the forum rather than the portal.

the code is so your scores will submit... since usually the index.php is the stock vbulletin file... most people name there cmps_index.php to index.php and there stock vbulletin file to forum.php... and if thats the case if you dont add the code it wont work... its really pretty simple to edit... is yours working???

We finally got this working using the code submitted by Arcade. It didn't work last night, but it works today. Adding the forum path crashed the forum. I think in vB 3.5.4 you don't have to add the path.

i dont see why it would crash the forum if you used the right path.... but good job hope all goes well.... yeah i run 3.5.4 and still have to use the path... i think it could of been you didnt use the right path

thats only working when saving scores ..which lot of us had issue when saving score..because we have vbadvance installed and for my board i changed the index to board and the cmps_index to index if you leave it as default then you should have no problem.

I changed the arcade.php to ibproarcade.php and the arcade will open: http://vtxcafe.com/ibproarcade.php

I edited 2 links in that file and changed the from arcade.php to ibproarcade.php also. But, the games still open in v3arcade. I'm not wanting to merge the arcades I want to run both, the larger one will be for our sponsor members.

I think the CMPS folder was corrupted. I sent over a new folder and that's when it worked.

There might be a chance that this is wrong in your cmps_index.php: $forumpath = ' ';

I think you have something missing there. Mine is $forumpath = './ ';
This is probably what automatically picks up the forum path.

no mine is fine like i said i sent you the stock file you had to edit it... all i did was edit it with the arcade setting... mine works great for months now :)

There are at least 2000 posts answering this question, I think, but, i cant find no one...

How can I fix a log-out-problem? Means, a user, playing longer than x minutes, is logged out. Means, no highscore saved...

I tryed some vbulletin-session parametres, but doesnt work.

Any hint for a very old and very frustrated member? :cool: Thx...

Not much you can really do, MrZeropage, has stated though, that it has been fixed in the as yet unreleased update, coming out soon. I know i can bw frustrating we just have to wait a little longer.

Wait some more days for ibProArcade v2.5.5+ then this thing is fixed :cool:

ok! danke! ;)

Hi there all!! someone has worked a lot for this!!!TNX!!!

I have some questions..

1) Can I (and how) increase the nomber of users to participate on a tournament?
2) How kan i make bydefault so that users can create there own tournament
3) Can i disable the PM posting(and how)?If not, Can i make the default selection in the arcade user's settings "Receive PM ?" -> "NO".I need that because i need to stop sending PM's except the user want's them...

Tnx in advance.

1) Tournaments are possible with 2, 4 or 8 Players, maybe more will be possible later
2) This will come soon I think...
3) Just wait for the upcoming ibProArcade v2.5.5+
