Vbarcade or IPBarcade? Which is better?
 

Subject. Im trying ot see which i shjould install?

V3Arcade

The better one is the one you prefer.

It's no good asking anyone else - if you bothered to read the multitude of other threads on the same subject you would see that both have good and bad points, and the choice is personal.

I swear I've seen this same thread, like nine times?

i settled for the IBProArcade.

but i am looking for another similar question (which I am sure somone has already seen 9 time or more) -- photopost or something else :D

I installed both and can say ibProArcade better than v3arcade ;)

ibProArcade has many cool functions.

gallery2 by menalto is awsome freeware!

v3Arcade forsure!

IBPro Arcade. Among other things, V3 does not have an uninstall option at this point.

Um, yes it does ...... all products have the option if the code is there - and in v3's case there is a full set of uninstall code.

IB Pro Arcade.
I like having the top played games and latest games when you go to the arcade. Lots of other cool things. Also, all support is given here instead of at a secondary site.

PS MrZeroPage did it for free.

v3 Arcade
it needs more add-ons, features, then itll be nice

I think v3arcade is both better coded and just better looking, more feature rich, just a more complete overall product.

First of all, IBproarcade for vB is still an emulation, the system is still tricking the arcade into believing it is vBulletin, and that seems as though it might add a little more processing time.

v3arcade is a more solid, just overall the whole package solution. :)

Who said John did not? You have to put into your head that John's hack is only John, his work. ZeroPages is someone elses work, and he did not have to do everything from scratch.

hmm.. then go tell that to the people in the v3arcade support thrread who are having multiple problems trying to uninstall/reinstall/upgrade

We were having problems with both arcades when they were initially released. That's a hazard of initial releases of large scripts.

I don't think you are going to get a good answer by posting a "which is better" thread. The arcades are too political a topic around here right now for some reason.

There are good things and bad about both. You should play with both and see which you prefer.

If by multitude of threads you mean multitude of childish rants that lack any respect for all parties involved and have been closed, then yes, you are correct.


I lean towards v3arcade because I am used to it and like many do not like change, BUT there seems to be a lack of games for it. I have not installed either for 3.5 yet as im still trying to resolve this riddle.

Either one of these effectively implemented mutiplayer without any charge?

You bore me, v3arcade is also free.. :tired:

Let's not turn this into another one of "those" threads, shall we?

Why must you be so ignorant?

I use v3arcade and I didn't pay a dime. So how is it not free?

Why must you be so stupid?
Did I say the arcade wasnt free? Read it again.

Please curtail your flames or this thread will be locked again.

Why would I want to do that - it's not my hack. You made an incorrect statement, I corrected it. Simple as that.

No, not in so many words - but you did say this ;

Which seems to imply that you think that v3 is not free.


BTW - in case you are wondering - we ran the IPB version for a year until we upgraded to 3.5 - atm I have had both the new versions on test and will probably stick with v3 as it's written from scratch for 3.5 - as opposed to IPB which is an emulation. There are a couple of IPB features that I will miss but such is life.

I find the arguments (and ignorance) of some posters for/against each quite amusing - so much fuss over an arcade ......

Since we seem to get threads going out of control (intentionally??) or turn into personal flamings, i think we should consider changing tactics on this. Maybe locking the threads is not the best solution, maybe we should start deleting posts without warning or placing a time limited ban upon some troublemakers.

I agree. Last time I reported someone calling me names or personally attacking me, it got ignored. This time I shot back since they are letting things slide.

That is the best resolution. A lot of members are seeking the opinions of others without the constant banter of derogatory remarks.

Lets keep it simple... State what you use and what features made your mind up. Do not respond directly to others on this thread. Take it to pm.

All reports are monitored, and action will be taken if it seems needed. They might be handled in public or by PM, depending on what the moderator handling the report think will be the most effective.

I don't understand why it's not possible to compare both hacks in a fair and respectful way without pissing each others. Give the troublemakers 1 day vb.org holidays and it will be getting better. Thanks

You misunderstood my post, perhaps because it was a bit sarcastic. The fact is that many users are reporting uninstall/reinstall/upgrade problems with v3arcade. To simply say "uninstall it like all other hacks" doesn't address the obvious inherent issues that this hack has.

I think that "freezing" threads is a much better idea than locking them. Freeze the thread for 12-24 hours, along with a note saying everyone should "chill out" is much better, since it is frustrating to return to a thread, and see it locked, with no ability to be ablt o ever respond to a valid point, due to the fact that it got heated up.

Ah, but many other hacks have install/uninstall/upgrade issues from time to time. So, Paul was correct. You uninstall it like any other mod. First, you get a clue about PHP ;) Then, you undo the things that need to be done to get rid of the mod.

(Sorry. Couldn't resist.)

The comparison was between the two arcade hacks- one of them has uninstall issues, and the other does not, in my experience, which is what I stated. There is no need to make remarks like "get a clue about PHP," etc., that is simply flaming/bashing and I am surprised to see it come from you.

v3Arcade - no doubt about it.

Probably because vbulletin.org has such a wide and diverse member base - everyone is bound to have their own opinions. What peeves me off however, is when people post inaccurate statements about either arcade script. Both authors have taken a considerable amount of time and effort in bringing us a stable and feature-rich solution for our flash gaming needs.

Expressing your own opinion is something different then attacking other people, being disrespective, being abusive or starting a rant.

I think a lot of us forget this, I personally prefer ibProArcade mainly because of familarity and being an old fart I hate change ;) BUT I do appreciate the hard work by both authors and feel either would do the job wonderfully if I wanted to change.

I see that everything is some what normal now, I prefer ibProArcade over the unknowns Vbarcade & IPBarcade? must be a typo. :rolleyes: I made my comments already in this link.

I've tried out both of them and liked both pretty much equally. Right now, I have v3Arcade installed :)
