oKgaz, I know that hehe. I am just thinking of others :) In fact, I've made an option so that you can use a custom title.

KURTZ, really good suggestion. Going to add this to my arcade. :)

thx Jason, if you wanna share the code that's much appreciated ...

it would be nice if admin can give access to specific user permission to start tournament

and mod/super can add games also

To have a link to show the new games per day / week / month ?

Once I have done it Kurtz, I will share the code. :)

Just a little tied up for time at the moment.

Hi MrZeropage

I was just going through this link, and I was wondering just how many of the suggestions / request have been implimented or are going to be...

thx 'Master' Jason! :)

My host will not allow more than 2,000 files viewable from the FTP. This of course makes it a pain to edit files or backup arcade games since I have several thousand as it is.

Would it possible in future versions to limit the number of files that the arcade stores in a directory? For example like VB does with the attachments?

Thanks again for all your work!!!

-Jason

That would be very helpfull when changing host....;)

I just moved over 5,100 games and over 10,000 arcade images..
Man is that a pain when FTP folders viewable files limit is 1,998..

Feature Requests:

1. It was very usefull if there was a function in AdminCp to check which unused IMGs and Gamefiles are in the Arcade after deleting Games from the Database.

In my Case i have installed over 1500 Games and have cleaned the Database by the Mass-Delete Function from unwanted Games but i have not seen that the Files are not deleted in this Moment. Now i have between 50~100 Files in the Gamesfolder that are unused.

2. It was nice if Usergroups can Delete or Edit Games from the Arcade directly without going to the AdminCP. For Example - editing Gametitle by AJAX or/and a Checkboxes to delete a Game or move it to other Categorys like Posting or Threads.

Here's what I'll be creating for my arcade installation:

• Report a broken game
• Email game to friend (let you're friends know about a certain game).
• Reviews (comments on games in a nice block -- Paginate comments/reviews).

Planning on using AJAX for each tab :)

I'll happily share the code (and maybe it will all become default?) -- just need to get a few other things soughted at the moment -- such as a new style for my site, PRO version of HelpCenter and list goes on.... :p

Agree!!!! :up:

Nice job

It would be awesome if we could set the "Server-Timeout (seconds) for Score-Submission" to numbers with decimals. For example, the default is "3" seconds. We should be able to make it something like 2.5.

I hope I worded that well.

wonderful job Jason ... :up:

When you delete a game from the arcade, and choose to remove the files, have it so it removes the TAR file, if it exists. Otherwise when you select "install all games" it will just put it right back in the arcade.. :D

i think the next version IBPARCADE should optimizer and cache temp,ibproarcade run slowly with bigboard :D

Marcel, ty so much for this very great vB enhancement hack.

Pls apologises for my terrible english, I will try my best to be understood.

Donno if what I will ask below is a bug or a possible future enhancement suggestion. but anyway here we go.

1) Group Permissions.
actually arcade's Group permissions does not take in full real consideration of vBsub-groups.

* Suppose (in a private forum that take sub-groups advantages) to be :
with main group:
- User flagged as by default 'Registered' (eg. where Registered Users are not allowed to play but they can see arcade)

and as subsidiary group:
- User flagged (also) as Active Users can play. (eg. where Active Users is an automatically added subgroup once 15 days from registration + 50 active posts)
(eg. where Active Users are allowed to play but with certain limits)
- User flagged (also) as Gamer Users can play. (eg. where Gamer Users is an on-Demand status specific privilege only to Active Users(subgroup) with > 500 active posts.)
(eg. where Gamer Users are allowed to play but w/o limits)

well....(long run!) ....

so at the end will be great if in the arcade Group permissions could be capable to

a) an usergroup flagged as Not allowed, and usergroup flagged as allowed to see but not to play shuld not set all the remaining parameters (minimum posts, day min post .....) and specially the 0 condition.
b) take in greater consideration that an User can be flagged with more than one subsidiary group.
if so, the issue achieved in a similar condition as the above, is solved.

2) User not allowed ‘play-counter’
Suppose to have a day limit set up eg. 5 play per day. and 3 post per day and minimum 200 post.
you have >200 and you forgot that today you didn' post 3 yet.
you try to play a game and the system will tell you almost this....'bad boy post at least 3 then come back to play!'
as the good boy you are, you post the minimum requested and you come back to the arcade. LOL what a shame when you find that now you have only 4 possibilities left as the 1st probabilly was spent already on the advice got b4.
Is this a feature or is something that can be fixed?

3) vB Admin Management
in vB adminCp would really be Great and Gorgeous if the arcade tab could be allowed or not allowed upon customizable admin privileges.

ty so much for the attention

take care

ciao

would be great to have the 'arcade admin section' selectable on admin permissions.

example admin 1UID enable admin uID1,32,54 but not UID153 to have arcade controls on admincp

would be great to have the sentence for crowns (in forumbit) not Harcoded.
Not all languages use 's Saxon genitive (eg. Tom's Hardware - in my language whould be : Hardware di Tom) - or a final 's' for plural.

the plural final 's' should be fixed also for an arcade section - Look at own score page. the column where states the rekord time duration :

acp_days
acp_day1
acp_day2

acp_day1+acp_day2 will make confusion!!
(also nosense to use day2 as acp_days is already there)

would be very gorgeous to have a control switch on arcade CP to enable or not the final s (plural) and 's (genitive)


apologises for my broken english

ciao

I noticed now that I have the scores pruned 10% every week that this is an important thing. In V3arcade this worked as expected. In ibP the score to beat is lower but in reality you still need to hit the highest score to score on the scoreboard. Strange.

I think better integration with vBadvanced and other portals ( i have 2 footers, and 2 navbars ).

Hi,

I just took a look at my mysql slow query log and found entries like this:
u.username has an index. Maybe t.champion (text field) should have one too or the query could be optimized in another way? I`m no sql-expert, just wanted to mention it and hope it`s useful.

all the best,
Sacha

PM members when a tournament has been created

Just a thought...

Sideways scrolling img of random games on top of arcade page (max 5 images).
With ability to turn on or off.

few quick and much needed suggestions for "tournament" would be
> clean-up of tournament code
> new look for tournament, current look is too depressing
> make the tournament windows work with "Fixed" vBulletin style

tx!

Possibly allow admins to set the "posts pr day" to access the arcade to a more realistic time scale for not so hectic boards.
Maybe "per month" or even "per week", but we feel "per day" just attracts spam posts.

PLEASE??

has there been anything confirmed about what will generally be in the next version ? Im kind of holding off till the next version is out.

You really think this mod will see the next version?

next v2.6.8+ already is in progress, no worries :)

Thanks for the update, Zero. Its good to know things are still being taken care of. The Arcade's future rests in your hands.

Congrats on the little one by the way !

Hi,
I would report a bug we discovered in the last version of ibproarcade...
First of all we use a lot of games - as I imagine all ibproarcade users - and each games has a different type of score system, for some games high for other lower...
The problem is the following: if you first open a game with high scores and after you open another windows with a game with lower scores - so you play the first game with high score and submit the score - it will be registered in the second game! in this way it's possible to cheat all the system!
I would be grateful if the coder could check the bug and try to solve it. I'm at disposal for other questions. Bye.

Hi, I would like to see option, so any member can easy add game to his/her site, it would allso be nice that a if he/she add game to his/her site, a game have a link back to site.

Is there a list of what new additions or changes we could possibly expect in 2.6.8?

I think I mentioned this before, but I wanted to amend it somewhat. I said I would like different skins. Actually, what I'd like is for all the style options to be in the templates. As it is, a lot of it is defined by the PHP files. I have to redo my customizations everytime I upgrade. Templates that largely remained untouched by upgrades would make this mod as close to perfect as it could get.

i dont know if it has been suggested upto now so her my thoughts:
the only way to comment a game right now is to play it and enter our comment in the highscore.
but is there a way to discuss the game on the each games page?? like e.g. posting comments under a photo?

in my opinion this would be a great feature :D ;)

Is it possible to add an individual language chooser for every member in Your Settings? Would be great for boards with members are speaking different languages.

I'd like to be able to display all games in the order that they were installed in the newest games box instead of just the number of games set in admincp. IN admincp, you would set the number of games visible in the box, then when the total number of arcade games exceeded that number, a scrollbar would appear in the box so users could scroll through all the games. The same thing could be done for the most playe games box. This would give quicker access to games.

My suggestion (if it hasn't already been suggested):

Let users decide how to get notifications (or use the user's settings for this in vBulletin). Now there is only a global setting for all members.

I would like to see a more meaningful error when you try and install all and you have a corrupt tar file.
At present you just get a timeout error, is it possible to tell you on which file it timed out meaning that file is likely corrupt.

Keep up the great work.

Sorry if it has already been suggested, but my suggestion is to put the gametitle into the pagetitle.

Also i would suggest to include an option to select how many random games and new champions should be shown.

Sorry, its me again ;)

Got an other suggestion. I would like to have static URLs, with the gametitle inside. Maybe something like this "www.site.com/forum/arcade/game/4711-xyz.html".

What about the meta-description tag? Any chance that it will be filled with the gamedescription? That would be great.

Thank you MrZeropage
