Uploading the file in the attachment in post #934, overwriting the existing one, should fix your problem with highscores only saving when the game is played for the first time which I seen you posted about on vBAdvanced.

Installed, and working great!

where can i get more games that allow me to save highscores (not Mochi ones).

IVe got some games here which installed and ran ok, but when the game was complete it redirected me to the forum home instead of letting me save any scores, so ive removed them again for now?

Google will help you find games - search for IPB Arcade games download - sorry you can't list games sites on here.

Highscores not saving could be due to numerous things.......

1. Games aren't highscore compatible - IPB, v3 Arcade or Mochi Games
2. You are running either vB CMS or vBAdvanced CMPS and need to make an edit to your index.php (it is mentioned any times in this thread)
3. You have a htaccess file with rules in it that 'bypass' your index.php
4. You have disabled the Arcade Forumhome Info & Index Compatibility plugin

The most common issue is running a portal and not editing your index.php

My forum isn't sending out emails to notify people when they have been challenged.

• Email notifications for received private messages, new posts in subscribed threads, and forums go out.
• In v3arcade default user settings, all are set to yes
• Just in case, I ran the Set Challenge Permissions for All

Where else should I look to troubleshoot this?

thanks,

The 'Default User Settings' function will only work for newly registered members, it won't work for members who are already registered.

Are the arcade settings set to accept notification by email in the UserCP?

I've not had any problems with email notifications for beaten scores, tournaments or challenges and cannot reproduce any error of non-delivered email notifications.

edit: YOu would need to get the users to updated their settings manually, or if you want everyone to be notified by email (or PM) you could probably do a database query.

Hi Gemma

I installed v3 after most of my members were already here, so if the initial default is to have no notifications, and there is no way to change that globally then I guess the database query is the only option. Maybe in a future upgrade it could be set the same way that admins can globally change the challenge permissions to force all members to allow challenges initially. Just a thought.

Back here in the present, though, I tried looking through the database to find the table that holds the settings so I could run the query as you suggested, and can't find the one that holds these settings. Do you happen to know which table these settings reside?

Thanks

That is something you would need to ask the developers about. Due to the lack of activity from Brian I am unsure whether we will ever see an update of the arcade

I'm assuming there is settings stored in the database. I'll have a look later and let you know

Ok, some super-crazy combinations here. I've not worked them all out and I'd advise you to probably set everything to YES then let your members switch off as desired. Here are the queries I managed to determine.

Everything to YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '1023'

Allow Challenges set to YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '1'

Allow Challenges and Auto-Accept set to YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '3'

Allow Challenges, Auto Accept, Email Notification and Tournament Events

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '519'

Allow Challenges, Auto Accept, Use Email, Use PM and Tournament Events

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '527'

Allow Challenges, Auto Accept, Use Email, Use PM, High Score Beaten, When Challenged and Tournament Events

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '575'

Everything EXCEPT Email Notifications Set To YES

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '1019'

wow. thank you for the extensive work. I'll run that today.

So has vbAdvanced dropped this mod? If there are no updates, then vb5 will essentially kill it off. Not good news for us Arcade Junkies!

Thanks again for going the extra mile to create that query. It is a big help in getting things hopping again with the games.

This and Current Version: 2.0.3 (Released 06-08-2011) nailed the coffin shut for me... Unfortunately will be porting to another developers arcade with whom I seem to be running more and more of their software....
