Something that has been bothering me is that people who endorse the other arcade have been bashing this one. This is a great arcade and if you read this entire thread like I have you will understand why John stopped supporting this!!! This is probably the best hack ever created and most problems have been cuased by either a faulty installation or a hack conflict....

I just think that it is extremly rude for people who like this arcade getting talked out of installing it by people bashing it. There are many, many people using this arcade without problems...
-------------------------------

To keep this hack alive I am offering my services to install this.

I have done this install over 25 times and I have repaired and troubleshooted install problems over 10 times. I have had this hack installed on 2 sites for well over a year.

If you are having a problem or if you need this installed I will do it for a very cheap and fair price.... This is a great hack!!! I also have almost all the zip files with the uncopyrighted games and I will ftp them for free as time permits...

----------------

I love the arcade, my users enjoy it

But, a user who had alot of high scores recently quit the forums and his user name was deleted, so all the high scores show up without a name
Is there anyway to remove all the entries without having to delve into the database itself?
I tried deleting them manually with the "Delete score" checkbox option and nothing happens.

How good of you to keep this hack going by making money off it! Awww

Installed with no problem! FANTASTIC. My only question is where can I get more games?

THANKS JOHN, dont worry about the haters.

Go back 2 pages..:)

Tell me what you guys think. Would you like to see a game download site that has all available games uploaded or would you think it to be prefered to get it online right away and people would simply have to check online as the games are uploaded? My site has been put up, but I have only uploaded about 15 games so far (worked on it for about 30 minutes uploading, so more time = more games). If people more or less say put it up and they will check as games are uploaded, then that is what I will do. As it stands, I have entered the games that begin with numbers. A's are next followed by B's, etc.

@Intrepid: Yes mate - it just kinda hangs when you click it :)

Any particular game mate or all of them?

Help plz

SimonHodgkis, I have an error very similar to yours which I can't fix. I wonder if these are related.

Any advise on fixing this is greatly appreciated it's been driving me nuts for over a week now.

I thought that you said this was working now and you were seeing another problem.

Guyz i fixed my problem .. now iam getting a blank page when i open up arcade.. help plz

You need to update your templates

Hi guys, strange problem i hope you can help me with.

I just did a prune of all scores as i have not done it for months and now i am getting a MYsqll error

The arcade was working fine and i have not updated any hacks or installed any new ones, all i did was prune the scores. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Snowy

you dont need to waiste your money on all these stuff just use note pad and read properly that would do :ermm:

Crimson Editor is great to use and is free. Color codes your text and makes things a lot easier to edit than Notepad.

Nah... more likely something was missed in install or changed by your editor you did not see. Countless members installed without a problem.

Mj: I'm looking for help, not criticism. Please "properly" re-read my post. Thank You.

rj: Thank You. I'm closer to resolution of this mess with your response. Should I attempt to re-install over the existing arcade program, or back track and delete all of my file edits in reverse order?

Either way should work. If this was the last mod you installed and made backups of the files before you made the changes, I would put a copy of those backups in place and reinstall the file edits from there.

Make sure you get all of the changes required. I forgot a simple closing bracket at one point installing this which made it not work.

I installed V3 arcade, when I try to install any game, I get this

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_cp_header() in C:\{forumroot}\{file/gamename}.game.php on line 61

here is what is on line 61

print_cp_header("v3 Arcade - $title");

any help/suggestions will be useful, thx

Did you install the templates? Go to your AdminCP styles and see of you have the arcade templates. If not, re-run the install and install them.

Edit: Actually, rereading your post, this may not be the issue, but check it out anyway... :o

it didnt install the templates, started the installer again and it added the templates. I cheack and they arent there, only the mods that I made manually.

any ideas?

I have the templates in vB. After recoding the fresh files, I don't get the error codes, but I do get just a blank page after clicking the arcade icon in the navigation bar. I'm not sure why I have no gifs displayed or fla files fla-ing.

hmm, what are the names of the templates the installer adds, maybe I am not looking for the right thing.

I can play the 5 basic games that are thereas well as change their option ins the CP, I just cant install new ones.

What is to become of v3Arcade when vB 3.5 is release later this year? Is it going to be redeveloped to work with vB 3.5? This is the only hack I use that I have not heard about moving with to 3.5!

Yep, it will be. It'll be very different, but it'll still use the same score data.

He's ALIVE! lol

This is a blindman smilie.

Well I did go through the files again, and found a missing edits.

I now can edit arcade in the ACP. What I get now, when I click on Arcade in navbar is another page, but a 404 message. So none of the graphics or vB gifs for that matter are posting.

I still think I have a template issue. But my templates are all in place. I suppose I can recheck the locations of all of the file uploads..

My postbit legacy and navbar edits are also correct.

I think that I am so close to making this work, but yet so far away.

Would someone like to see my arcade.php?

Bottomline question:

How do I remedy a 404 error?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

OK I've made progress in the last 5 minutes.

I changed the name of arcade.php to Arcade.php and I now have a complete Arcade screen!

Just a little matter of keeping my capitals and lowercase straight!

:squareeyed:

JustDave

good to see you are still on project John :)

Any screenshots or anything John?

Just letting everyone know I fixed my problem... ended up being a script problem. Thanks for your help!

quick question, how do you delete the scores and start the arcade fresh?

It is really good news John. This is the greatest hack ever been released on vb.org for vb 3.0.x i never see a hack that is installed this much.

If you are planning any new features can I suggest one :) Is there a way to add some javagames like backgammon and chess that members can play each other ? If it is possible it will be perfect for the boards.

@Intrepid - sorry for the slow responses i've been extremely busy.

It happens on all the games.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Hi!
Thanks For Your Nice Modification. :nervous:

I have 2 problems:
1) My users Say somtimes when they submit a new score in the page appear "You Do not Have Permission to acces this page"! :disappointed:

2) I want to change news and allert tgezt to my language! but not found in the phrases and templates! :rolleyes:

thanks!

I'm realizing now, just how great this hack really is.

John, thanks for this!!!

I want to appologize for venting my frustration in some of my previous posts. The real fault was all mine in the installation, and I didn't mean to offend anyone.

JustDave

John is back on this!!!!


Awesome John!!!!! This has got to be the all time best out there!!! Glad to see you working on this again... I have been spreading the v3arcade word for you!!!! :)
