Let's see:

1. I can't seem to get the Arcade Home and category pages to validate. I would like to see a future version that would pass XHTML validation so I can say my whole site passes.
2. A module for vBadvanced that also validates and has multiple display options.
3. The ability to better control the orientation of the tables on the game pages. Many games these days are 800 or more pixels wide. The side table for the description just looks odd when pressed thinned and stretched by a wide game (on a fixed width forum), with the game sitting midway down the page. I adjusted the code to get them to align bottom. But it would be nice to not have to redo that after every upgrade.
4. Similar to above, only this is on the arcade home. I would like to be able to orient those pages differently. Perhaps have the stats only show on the Arcade Home.
5. In line with the above two, how about something more straightforward, like a wholly new set of layout options (skins)? I'd even be willing to offer some HTML designs and donate them to you to work with.
6. When you edit a game, I think it would be nice to have it either return to the game you were editing, or return to the category you were in. Not just return to the "select filter" home.
7. An ESRB equivalent rating system in the Admin CP. Something that shows up in the Description and in the Game Objective section. 'E' 'T' 'M' 'Ao' etc
8. And this is the big one: Total elimination of the need for the page to reload to submit a score. For games that require manual submission, a small [submit score] button can be located beside the game menu, which can double as a way to ensure that all games record scores without reloading the page. Perhaps even an AJAX way of showing the score submitted successfully, like saying so, or displaying the usual rank page in a AJAX div.

I need this new feature:

- The ability to set max time/round (before disqualification) for every tournament. For now the setting is global, I'd like some tourmanents to have 1 day, some tourneys 2 days etc...

I would love if when mass installing games if one game cant be install to skip to next one and then report games that dont work and auto delete them .
not stop and show error.

I let people to have the ability to remain hidden in the forum, but when they go to arcade it still shows them at the bottom of the page. Can this be fixed?

Add the option to limit the number of plays for guests/not logged in people like the other user groups have

The ability for Admin's to create a challenge and specify the participants. For example, I created a challenge and was able to change my ID to another individual. But since the other blocks are null, you cannot add a name to those blocks.

ibProArcade does not have "challenge" but "tournaments" - and those can be created in AdminCP with all predefined participants...

I just found that option and was on my way back here to edit my post. **banging head on desk**

Hey,
How about the ability to make the system 'drop' a players high score in a game if they play the game again and get a lower score? - Call it 'Boxing Title Scoring' - where, if they play and get a lower score.. they aren't the CHAMP anymore.

This has probably already been suggested, but I think it would urge others to play...

Add to this that the player with the TOP score can be challenged by anyone else.. A kind of, "I challenge you to keep your score".. if the player doesn't play within 48 hours or so.. they auto-matically lose the top score... (Of course, if someone is going to be absent for the 48 hours they could 'buy' insurance ... cost of insurance (top score in one of the other games)...

Next, add a BLING store... let users 'buy' Bling to decorate their PostBit thingie..

I mean.. c'mon!. there's tons of stuff to ADD to this game.. Hooray!

hello,

Please add feature to comment on Games

Thank you

A deeper set of statistics and numbers would be pretty cool.

Currently the most popular game list is determined only by the number of times the game has been played. Unfortunately there are quite a few games that last only a few seconds and get played over and over just for the game player to get any manner of game playing experience. These are usually not the best games in any given arcade and they certainly aren't the most popular.... are just over very quickly. You will usually find 'Archery 2000', 'Copter', 'Yeti long shot'. and a few other that are always on the popular game list.

I believe a better way to determine the most popular games would be to use the total time played instead of the number of times the game has been played. This would make a more accurate popular games list. Perhaps an admin choice between the two methods?

There are a lot of games that are best played full screen. Instead of playing game in new window, then maximizing the window, another choice, play full screen would be nice.

I'm testing Ibproarcade Vbulletin version and it seems this one is lacking a lot of features that the Invision Power Board version has like

Inline Moderation of the scores I find this quite annoying and members can't edit their own comments

It would also be good if the Arcade profiles were more like the Ibproarcade for Invision power board like in this screenshot

Ok

what I really would like to see, is Latest Arcade Score in Ajax

Seems like a cheap way to outdo someone that has a bad day at the game.

While that is the Boxing type system of defending your title, anyone could simply just not play the game anymore and avoid risking losing there high score.

Even if you allowed challenges, in Boxing its about who wins, not how you played the game, so even if it was a close match with a lower high score if the champ still wins he still wins. So really, what's the point?

Why wouldn't you go by User Ratings and have a function that orders the games in a list of highest rated. Therefore each community will determine what are the best games based upon the rating they give them.

Unfortunately, not everyone will rate the games. Therefore, if no one rates them, then this would become a useless way of tracking the most popular games :(

I think it could go either way especially if most popular games are determined by rating that would in itself encourage members to rate games and also it would be a good idea if the rating of games was made more visible for example like the threads here on vb.org

I think a neat feature would be to allow members to set their preferences in their UserCP Options as to whether they want Private messages & E-mail notifications from the Arcade.

Some of my members want to know when their high score gets beaten while I think it's annoying. :)

Cheese and Rice!..
Y'know, this message 'asked' for suggestions.. I gave a few.. and then someone 'ARGUES' down the suggestion?

Maybe, that's why there's no suggestions..

Hey Legions!.. imagine this... Yeah, someone could just 'not play' - someone comes up behind them and plays with a HIGHER score.. they take the lead.. duh!..

Keeps those 'players' (for lack of a better word) from just sitting on a high score.. And who cares if someone has a 'bad day' in the games? Losing their seat in the game serves them right for Playing when they have a bad day. Like the top score 'belongs' to them or something..

Again though, if you're going to ASK for suggestions.. Lets not ARGUE them down..

It was a viable suggestion.. I've seen it in play elsewhere.. and if you really want to get technical.. "If someone risks playing the game after having a high score" and does worse.. So what?!!..

IT's A GAME!.. Just a GAME!.. yeesh!

12 Players Can Participate In Tournament
And
Any One Can Challenge Any One (One On One)

Thank You for my wonderful Arcade! :up:
I read most of the posts in this thread but excuse me if these have already been suggested.

I replaced my pnFlashGames with this arcade and it had Contests, these had an unlimited # of Users that could participate in a tournament but you could set a starting and ending date.

A script or something that can detect if installed v32 games has a gamedatafolder, see this thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=171934

Allow any registered user to submit comments and/or rate games anytime, not just after playing it, perhaps an ability to activate or deactivate this option.

Some display suggestions that i think would be nice are links to recent comments (like in the ModCP), to be able to change the number of random games and Latest scores that are shown and i currently use the Arcade Post on new highscore, this would be excellent for Tournaments.

The ability to play tournaments in a full screen, also the create tournament page is very hard to navigate for choosing the proper game when there are a lot of categories and games installed, perhaps an option to ignore categories and just list them alphabetically.

Sorry, I'm adding information that i forgot about, I'd love to use the notifications by email but have it disabled because the links don't work.

Where can I download games and how do I do it. I have searched a few sites but cant figure how to install them into this program. Is there another program I have to get?

either an addon, or an added feature to charge a fee (out of whatever money system you are using be it casino or store or whatever) to play an arcade game

$1 a game type thing

would love it there was an option to set size of
Champs avatar on the arcade home.

if forum avatars are big, they stretch out forum template on the arcade.
eg: http://www.unrealaddicts.com/forums/arcade.php

Is there any chance when someone completes the game it will print out tickets through their printer? :D

A game Report system,

If the game is faulty you just click a link, and a window opens with all game details.
You enter your comments and post..

Like @

Ajax in the search and ajax so we can edit the scores faster and easier.

What do you think?

I just realised that iBproarcade does not record how long it took the user to get the score. I used to use this feature in v3arcade to work out if that user had been cheating many of times.

Anychance of putting this feature in this?

Wtf... it does. At least I have a time there..

It records the time they played it, not how long it took them to finish the game, unless i'm missing it, it is not a feature, so im suggesting it.

Did you ever end up doing this? I would really love it.

Probably the smallest suggestion ever, but please change the page titles for the arcade. Because by default, they say:

[Your forum title]

When they should say:

[Your Forum Name] Arcade for the home page and High Scores should be [Game name] Scores. And so and so for the rest of the pages. Well, they need to be friendler to both human members and search engine bots...

when you are 'rating' a game, and the choice is 1-5, we need to specify whether 1 is the best or 5 is the best,,so whichever, added to the text, so people know which direction is good rating,,

it records the total time the game had been played but if you go to show high scores it will tell you exactly how much time the player played the game to get that 1 score. It's there mate.

I have a great suggestion. I have kind of a formal forum so the main style has to be formal too. Now I'd like to be able to give the arcade page a fancy style other than the main one. Please Pleases try to make this work. Thanks.

I don't know if this was posted in the 19 pages but:

it would be awesome if when playing a tournament your score is saved in the scoreboard, so if you make a top highscore it will be saved

it would be help full to have the option to add a post in a thread when you install a new game
and have it say what game and so in other then that I love it GREAT JOB

integrate or make an iBProBattle system

Is there any sort of timetable for a whole new version?

Can you add an option so that we can choose our own announcement title. Currently it is just: Arcade announcements:

it's possible to improve the arcade with the 'report broken game' for the users per single game? this is really helpful for the Admins ...

Have you had a look through the language file?

(arcade/lang/ then one with en at the end) You should be able to edit that there.
