As far the error after the fix..Yes I removed it because it gives blank error page with SQL error.

The 2nd error...I am asking the members what they were doing when they got the error...still pending that.

I got the errors via my email.

If you want to look at my arcade.php that would be great. Just tell me how you want me to get it to you.

It is replies such as this that I think endorse my opinion. First, none of us can be in the "know" with this John who does not deem it worthy to make his intentions known to the masses. It would seem this Oblivion Knight has all the answers, well kudos to him.

As far as your laughing at those who have suggested this hack be put in its proper place, I cannot see how such a declaration can serve any purpose but to cause one to consider anything you say made by a person who laughs at things that are really not funny, unless of course, they consider someone installing a hack that there are no games for humorous.


We have the wise guru here informing us of how the masses want free things, interesting, and in his wisdom he informs us that there are thousands of games out there for us. Ok, where? I am sure I would rather use up more bandwidth than the 5 or 6 games I have now will use.


To the others, I am sorry, I have tried to avoid any unpleasantness, but as you can see sometimes there are trolls who will not let you. Some are so called educated trolls who instead of addressing the issue prop themselves up and promote ridicule.

Ok, what purpose did this post serve other than to state the known fact that John is not releasing information on his pro version (if it is being released)? Also, at the time of your post, Oblivion did not say there were "thousands". He said nearly a thousand.

As to laughing at something that has no games available for it, there are games out there. I personally have roughly 900 coming out for download (and no, not duplicates like some of the current game packs have). I was going to wait until after I got some of the games entered into my database, but now I may have to publish the site so we can stop the ridiculous (hope I spelled that right) comments about how there are no games out there. I know that more are being converted by Dechevious as he is now at over 1000 games on his site (www.v3arcadegames.com).

Hell, if I can find a tutorial that can made a flash noob like myself understand how, I would love to convert some games myself.

Please, can help me?
i edit the game description and the description disapear form Admin CP and it locks, it cannot be re editable again but in the description of the arcade page apears as i wrote, but is not editable anymore

any one know how to fix this?

Don't even bother registering on that v3arcadegames site because no matter what email you use it says it has been banned and I have never registered on that site before in my life.

This is why I think I ended up switching to IBproarcade. For hassles and stupidity like this that was found with V3arcade. A problem that became apparent more in the later stages of its life. Instead of dealing with the problem, he tucked his tail and hid. Thats not how you solve problems. I would have had more respect if he stuck with it and fought the issues. But cutting support off, betrayed loyal users of his modification.

That was wrong.

Yeah, and $20 per user for the first month is outrageous - HOW is it possible that one user can use $20 worth of US-server bandwidth?

590 games in one rar file: all you need I think!: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...590#post641861

Alright, I upgraded from 3.0.3 to 3.0.7 and I am re-doing the file edits.

The code that the readme wants me to find isnt in global.php:

echo "End call of global.php: $aftertime\n";
echo "\n<hr />\n\n";
}

Does anyone know where in global I put that code then?

It should be in forums/global.php

Thanks, sorry I was looking in admincp for some reason.

As far as I am concerned, the hack is already in it's proper place? :rolleyes:


There have been several links posted in this thread to downloadable games for v3arcade, free of charge.. They're out there if you look hard enough.! :D

I have offered what I think to be good rationale why this hack in defunct. Some of you agree and others don't, seeming to suggest it be kept around for the various individual webmasters or board owners to decide if they want to use it. This also seems to suggest that we should keep some hacks around that contain traps so people can fall in them. A good joke or two or two never hurt anyone, right? Well, of course, I say wrong and I would think most others would as well.

I agree with the others that Deschevious site is not the answer unless you just like to throw away money.

Thanks to all who have gave links to games.

LOL this hack is defunct? Riiiight ;)

I just downloaded 500+ games for this thing. We've got a 239 page thread full of people helping each other out with coding problems and finding games. Just because the creator of this hack no longer has a functioning website does not make this hack any less valuable.

Deschevious's site... I have never paid for a game for this thing, nor will I ever. His site DOES have plenty of excellent additions to the arcade though as far as modifications.

V3Arcade isn't dead... there's still plenty of folks updating the game selections and various mods. Heck, there's a bunch of people hosting games for everyone to download. I can fully understand the webmaster of v3 shutting down the website if people kept ignoring copyright issues. I got some stern warnings on my old political site because a few members kept posting published articles out of context, or they would not list the source. I ended up wiping out the whole thing rather than deal with the hassles and letters from legal departments.

As far as Deschevious's site goes: I subscribed for the first month and I saw where he would get a bunch more long term members if he lowered the additional monthly fee to like $5 a month (after the initial $25). I was on it for a month and like most people I got a ton of games, a great new look for my arcade, but once I had the games that I wanted I just could not see plopping down $15 a month for just a handful of new releases.

I'd recommend it for anyone who want a variety of games (you can only have so many version of pacman and tetris!) $25 was kind of steep, but it was good for a single month and I grabbed quite a few newer game releases. Unless you know of another site that offers an updated selection of properly modded games.

My only complaint was the support was almost nil. I was wanting the basics for changing over a .swf game to run in v3arcade, and so did quite a few others, but no one ever posted much in the way of assistance.


And in closing I'll be sure to upload the latest Yeti game Yeti #8!

I'm sure it may be worth it for some, but I do not believe that people should be making money out of the distribution of games which are not theirs, for a hack which is not theirs - which is what I believe is happening :(

True. I never thought of it that way. I was just looking at it from a service point of view.

Please, can help me?
i edit the game description and the description disapear form Admin CP and it locks, it cannot be re editable again but in the description of the arcade page apears as i wrote, but is not editable anymore

any one know how to fix this?

What can i do? is there bad comnunicate between db and arcadeadmin.php?
any ideas?

How can I put the module news after the module Welcome, juste below it ?

Where are there 500+ games? I use this hack and don't want to change.

Are there any path changes for using this on a site with VBPortal???

Anything else that might cause arcade.php to contain nothing??? It appears that all the templates were installed etc but still nothing... Is it possible this could be a permission issue or a path issue??

is there any specific changes in the default installation.txt i have to change for this to work with 3.07?

I have a question for you gurus (noobe here).... I make swish/flash animations using my graphics program, swish (I don't know how to use flash program and I don't own it = too expensive) and It's Me 3d people avatar animations.

My question is.....could I install these in the arcade if I change the install php file to reference the swish/flash I created?

Thanks in advance and I am sorry if I hijacked the topic...I just thought that this would be related.

Just installed V3 Arcade. Its there but when I go to play it, as the network admin I cannot do so. It says I do not have permission. I have checked and re-checked all file edits and My usergroup is set to "yes" in every aspect of the arcade.
Can you tell me whats going on? Myself and another person have checked through my edits and they are air tight.

Running VB-3.07

Current instaled hack: RPG inferno 2.3 by Zero Tolerance.

Website http://www.ff-net.org - Boards are offline however.

It works perfectly with 3.07...

I believe there are some threads on that Kila but I am not sure where...

Does anyone have an answer for my question???

could you add an addon to this where people could become points in the ucash system on challanges? I think alot of people would like that.

A friends site I installed this on is having what looks like a template problem.... On the arcade.php page everything shows up but the games.....


I have read the posts on this where most say it is usually a template issue but I do not believe it is in theis case. Is there any thing else that could cause this....


There will be a small reward for an answer leading to a solution :)

As long as people do not forget my request for help. I have seen a few people get ignored with this issue. Its clearly a problem and i'd really like to sort it.
Is there anywhere in this thread that tells me what to do?

I have figured out the problem my friend was having... maybe this can help someone else...

When you install the other arcade it tells you to create a template called arcade.... you must delete this and any other templates that the other arcade installs before installing this version..... if you simply uninstall the other one it will not work.....

thankl you for all the hours you put in on installing this for me...great job and thank you once again

Its a fresh install. Create a template called Arcade? I assure you there is no mention of that in the guide. All I see in the template alterations and modifications is:

If it's a fresh install and you have no other arcade hacks installed such as IbProArcade, then all templates are installed except for the modifications listed in the instructions.

"could you add an addon to this where people could become points in the ucash system on challanges? I think alot of people would like that."

Or has this already been accomplished? I would like to find a way to get this done. Thanks. I bet it wouldn't be that much code. It already returns a winner. Would just have to put a place to bet your points. Thanks

Wonderful hack, too bad it's not being developed any more :(

- Sid

That's the great thing about this mod. It is great as it is and there are modifications to do more stuff out there. I am still waiting to see what the new version will have... if it ever comes out... :nervous:

Is there a new version of this hack coming out?
If so, I hope the netplay portion is completed. That would make this a very powerful system!

Not to sound stupid but whats net play?

Hello,

A. In the usergroup manager, I have set YES for:

Can Post Comments?
Allows usergroup to post comments when they achieve a high score

However,

I found the user still cannot add comments after they have finished the game. A logged on user, whoever the Admin, Moderator, or General Users, when they tried to add the comments, the following message appeared:

^ im also having the same problem as you

I'm somewhat of a newbie, but from what I've seen and been told... you didn't need to reinstall. What you needed to do was redo ALL the file edits. When you upgrade vB it must overwrite a a lot of the files, and in doing so, kills any hacks depending on those files. Have you tried redoing all of the original file edits?

nope but i will thanks
