vbPlaza-Integration
 

Hello,

if you are using ibProArcade v2.5.5+ and vbPlaza v1.5.5 (or even newer versions), both Hacks are full compatible to eachother and have smooth integration.

ibProArcade automatically detects if vbPlaza is installed and active.
If so, you will find all the Options in the Arcade, like:

• Costs per play
• Jackpot per Game (static or raising)
• Costs per Tournament-Participation

The "Costs per play" are defined in ibProArcade's AdminCP in the Game-Settings. Remember those settings do only appear if vbPlaza is detected and active ;)

Then you can choose a Jackpot-Type per Game:
--> static (means always the same amount to win for getting Highscore-Champ)
--> raising (means all costs for playing directly raise the Jackpot which you can win by getting Highscore-Champ)

In vbPlaza-Settings you can tell a raising Jackpot to get raised with X percent of the Costs



If you buy an Arcade-Pass in vbPlaza, you can play all Games for free, but won't win a Jackpot.
In vbPlaza-Settings you can change that to "play for free, but still win Jackpots"



For Tournament-Games you can setup Costs for Participation, so each Player who joins in has to pay that costs once for joining.
The Jackpot of that Tournament is the amount all Players paid, so for example an 8-Player-Tournament with 100 Points each brings a Jackpot of 800 Points :)



:banana: Enjoy this fantastic Integration :banana:

hello Zerpage..

its really nice......
can i ask for few things..like
can u plz add a feature here...

i)cost for play per catagory
ii)Cost for play per game(customizebale)

Those who have lots of games installed...set scrore in every game..its kinda taugh...but there are +/- 10 catagory.It would be easyer.

Plz give a thought on it...
Thnx.

Plz

I will try to add several multiple-game things in AdminCP to do settings for more than one game at once ...

this is wonderful, but i ahve over 600 games installed. i suppose i could run an SQL command to set the cost per play for all games? eg. UPDATE vb3_game_settings
SET cost_to_play = '5'
WHERE cost_to_play = '0.000'

(with the correct table/field names)

UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."games_list SET cost='100.00000' WHERE cost='0.00000'

UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."games_list SET jackpot='100.00000' WHERE jackpot='0.00000'

by default all Jackpots are static

i have set the price from vbbux, but then in my arcade, the price still show FREE.

any tips?

vB 3.5.4
vBPlaza 1.5.5
ibProArcade_v2.5.5+

thanks in advance

"FREE" is only shown if you buy an Arcade-Pass :)

this is fantastic Mrzeropage. Thank you for this announcement, for the explanations (I didn't know any of that stuff before I read this just now). and for the ongoing support. It's very much appreciated.
Because even thought the two are integrated and fully supported by the other.. it's not real clear where to find some settings, what to set them to, and what some things are even for... such as the static and raising thing.

Thank you for explaining those things above clearly and specifically

ok.. now i understand. my fault. i see it by using admin user. :confused:
but then, when i use normal user account, its working now. :banana:

thank you. :bunny: :cool:

instead of vplaza,is there anyway can relace it with vbookie's vcash?

I can set the points to play for each game but don't appear to have the option to set a Jackpot .. !?

is it possible get ibp to work with ucash+ushop?

@geo1, Wordplay:
currently there is no Integration with uCash, uShop and vBookie
Maybe somebody asks the corresponsing Hack-Authors if they are interested in contacting me here via PM so I can tell them how to integrate.
Should be easy as most things are prepared I think

@TTG:
If you edit a Game you can see the Costs and Jackpot-Settings

Ok .. where exactly !?

here :cool:
(see Screenshot)



Seems like you do not have:
-> ibProArcade v2.5.5+
-> vbPlaza v1.5.5 installed and activated

For more information read here

yes to both !?

Please make sure you have the actual arcade.php in your /admincp-directory

If that does not help, please provide ACP+FTP-Access so I can check ...

Indeed, I am facing the same issue. Both hacks added, both turned on.

No options for integration with anything other than v3 Arcade. :(

D'oh.. I am a moron. I didnt have the latest vBPlaza! :(

Sorry MrZeroPage.

I didtn quite understand the cost of game function when I was installing, and now I've got about 1300 games - is there a way to mass set that option from the back end? A sequel query or something if I wanted to make all games be 15 points? Then I could just go around and make a few select games different prices.. Would also be cool if we could mass-set a cost per game per category...

go into AdminCP -> Game List

at the bottom there are several options for multiple settings like costs ect.
if you set a filter (at the top) to a category you can filter a category and then mark all the games in it and set the costs :)

I don't get the vbPlaza integration options either.

I had vB 3.5.3, vbPlaza 1.5.5 and v3Arcade
I upgraded to vb 3.6, then upgraded to vbPlaza to 1.5.8
I then installed ibPro 2.5.6 and used the converter script

Any suggestions?

Did you install the ibpro .xml that was in the vbplaza .zip file?

Yup ... did that :)

Found it ... you need to go to the vbBux >> Manage Options and set Enable Arcade Integration? to yes.

Firstly, sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere ... or I've posted in the wrong thread.


The older I get, the worse I get at finding things on vbulletin.org !


Installed vbplaza with this arcade ... all works superbly :)



But I've got an issue with the tournament view and cost to join ( image attached .... although it still works as it should and members are only charged the correct amount .... it's just "cosmetic")


Any ideas how to fix ? ( or point me to the correct thread ! ).


Thanks for your time all.

I'm having a problem with the integration. Everything seems to be integrated however when a user plays, it says Costs per game 10. Well it doesn't take 10 away. Also the jackpot doesn't seem to raise, it stays at the default.

I'm running the newest version of vB, ibpro and vbbux

I looked through the code a little but and I dind't see anywhere that it changes vbbux points. Anyone have any ideas?

you have chosen "raising jackpot" for the game ? Otherwise is will be static.

costs have a seperate setting in vbPlaza-settings with some percentage, check this.

Yes, they are all set at raising jackpot.

I checked the options in vbPlaza but I don't see anything that would effect this.

When you're viewing the arcade it says games cost 10 but it really takes nothing.

All the handling of costs ect. is done by vbPlaza, so you should ask for help in the [ulr=https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=171]vbPlaza support forum[/url]

ibProArcade just provides Hooks for Plugins in some places to get this working

Does the integration still work for 2.5.7 and vbplaza 1.5.8?

I am running both of those on a 3.6.0 board and everything seems fine.

IU'm having the same issue...did you get this resolved?

Go to the vBPlaza download and you will find an extra folder for "Addons". Inside that folder is additional pluggins that are required for the ibProArcade integration as well as a second product that must be installed

Just curious, Mr. Zeropage

but has this been corrected, or a known fix for yet? I have found a few instances of this, dating pretty far back..

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114254

But I can't seem to find a fix yet.

Two screen shots are attached.

I think I found the problem regarding the above issue, but I am not a coder, etc, so I can't help fix it properly and as such broke it a little, but with much minor issues. I did however fix it for my needs, and until a proper fix comes from someone that knows what they are doing as opposed to me, then I will use it since it's better than above I think. Again, please realize, I really have no idea what I am doing, so back up your arcade.php file if you want to try this.

That said, I added some hard coded text because my "fix" disabled the $costhtmlstart and removed the "Costs to play" text, as again, I really have no idea what I am doing here. Anyways, this is what I did, and hopefully from that Mr. Z can find a proper fix for us.

Basicly all I did was change $costhtmlstart .= to $costhtmlstart = (took the period out) and that fixed it (but caused other smaller issues), added the hard Coded vbbux text and a <br />

Mr Zero Page, an idea for a future release may be setting it up so that all money paid to get in a tournament is added to the jack pot just to sweeten the pot a bit more.

don't think it will now since its been removed from the site since there was a exploit https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=121138&page=3

Does anyone have information concerning integration between ibProArcade and Icash? Is it do-able now? Is there another alternative to Icash where the integration is already in place? Have the authors of vBux/vB Plaza made any commitments wrt fixing the exploit issue?

Thanks for any info you can provide.
:D

Hello, when I click on the link for vbPlaza, I get this

"you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"

I am already logged in vbulletin.org, why won't it let me go to that link for vbPlaza.

Where do I download the vbPlaza.

Thanks.

vbPlaza is currently taken off vbulletin.org as some security-issues where discovered.

Please wait to next vBPlaza-version to be released, which will be bugfixed.

Is there any alternatives to this? I don't need too much fancy stuff, just a way to get points for playing games and getting high scores.

Where can I download an older version? Also where can I download another alternative?

Thanks.

Does iCash work with this mod?
