v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)
1 Attachment(s)
v3 Arcade is now a member of the vBadvanced family!
http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47571 The support forums & data from v3Arcade.com have been merged into the vBadvanced.com site. ================================= v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4.x.x For vBulletin 3.x.x, please see here. ================================= Please note... until v3Arcade.com is upgraded to vBulletin 4, some demo sites can be found here. Also, because of styling changes introduced in vB 4.0.8 to allow customized user profile pages, this version requires 4.0.8+ to be installed. "v3 Arcade" is the premiere arcade system written specifically for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch - not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin it uses the product system for code modifications & utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade. Supports MochiAds, v3 Arcade and IBPArcade games!
Branding Free ================================= All v3 Arcade installations carry and require a small "v3 Arcade" logo in the footer, as well as the text "Powered by v3 Arcade" which links to http:www.v3arcade.com. For information on legally removing the branding, please visit www.v3arcade.com. ================================= www.v3arcade.com ================================= If you're looking for more games, add-ons, support, tutorials, or anything Arcade related - www.v3arcade.com is the place to go. :) ================================= Copyright ================================= All code & images distributed in this zip is Copyright ?2010 CinVin, with the following exceptions:

How do I go from ibProArcade for vBulletin, to V3 arcade for vBulletin? will there be an issue with the .tar files? will the new system adapt?
I am relatively new to this, but know enough to maintain a healthy board. I just don't want to mess my arcade up as it is now---it works! |

Before you doing anything, make a backup copy of your vB database! That is always the first to be done before any type of update to your site. After that follow the steps here carefully. The most important things to remember are (a) backups, backups, backups, and (b) not to uninstall your existing arcade until you are comfortable with how your new v3A installation is working. For the .tar files question, do you mean installing new games or existing games? If you mean existing games then those .tar files unpacked during installation and the original .tar files remove. That's the way it works with both your existing arcade and v3A. Check the /games folder on your server and you can find the actual games files. As long as you do not uninstall or delete anything from your server then everything should be imported fine and, if need be, reverted back to your existing arcade. |
Thank-you, KW802!
Should I switch from ibProArcade - professional Arcade System for vBulletin, or go to v3 and why? If you don't mind me asking. sorry, english is my second language. |

- v3 Arcade has been designed from scratch to work with vBulletin; the other arcade was not. - v3 Arcade has a dedicated support site; the other arcade does not. - v3 Arcade has support for Mochi Media games, which can help bring in some revenue to your site and provides you with access to thousands of free games; the other arcade does not. - v3 Arcade has a dedicated lead developer; the other arcade, at least at the present time, does not appear to. - v3 Arcade is constantly adding new features and looking for ways to make integration with vBulletin easier (and hence why there are two separate versions for vB3 & vB4); the other arcade seems to rely mostly upon hacks & fixes submitted by users. Again, though, that is just my own personal opinion. Some people love the other arcade and find no problems with it on their site. |
v3 Arcade = Supported - own community - easy to install games - easy to install - no template changes
ibProArcade = Not supported - Issues with VB4 - poor support , heaps of template / tweaks changes to get it to work with VB4 saying that there is 1 guy that has been working out the fixes for VB4. present day v3 Arcade is 100% yes to go with Just my thoughts :) |
Awesome work!

I get the security tokin is missing with an arcade score save - is there any code for the index.php?

Because there is no corresponding plugin available for us to use to capture IPB scores in the CMS page, like there is in the forum home page, there is a file edit needed. FAQ: IPB Scores Not Saving With vB4 Suite CMS For vBadvanced CMPS users who have vBa CMPS as their home page and they have vBa CMPS in the same folder as vBulletin, you will also need to do an edit for saving IPB scores for the same reason as the CMS users (because the plugin available to use in the forum home page is not available to us in the vBa CMPS page). FAQ: IPB Scores Not Saving With vBadvanced CMPS Don't worry, we tried making it as simple as possible so it is just a one-line change. |
Thanks! Yep, that did it and I must say - seems MUCH faster than the other.
Scores are saving where they didn't before - that's cool! I was looking forward to this release as it will get my games in the right format for a "different" forum I have... :-) |
OK...
So let me get the smack now if I missed the post on v3arcade... But... Are there any ready available php scripts for building a CMPS or PHP Widget for scores? |
One issue...
I noticed I had to enable Tournaments to get permission to play a game. I set all Arcade permissions to "yes" for admin - got No permission I then saw the tournament and set all to "yes" and was allowed. Strange I needed to enable tournaments for the aracde? |

Hi Just wondering if its possible to run v3arcade as well as ipbproarcade ? If so what steps would be needed to ensure no conflicts etc ?

However it shouldn't be that hard to do something where both are installed and IPB is only used for one type of game (eg: IPB games) and v3A is used for other types of games (eg: v3A formatted games and Mochi games). It would be matter of renaming IPB's 'index.php' to something else, updating the IPB templates to point to the new name, turning off any IPB related plugins that are being used for v3A compatibility, use IPB for only IPB formatted games, installing v3A as normal, turn off v3A's plugins for IPB compatibility, and then use v3A only for v3A formatted games & Mochi games. It is not something that I personally have done but I know others have. If you can reach him, "Mark.B" in the vB support forums might be able to give some pointers since he is doing this on his vB3 site. Check http://www.bowlandcentral.com/ and in the "Arcades" drop-down list the "Yellow Arcade" is v3 Arcade and the "Blue Arcade" is IPB. |
I have hundreds of games that have an ".rar" file extension. I've looked over all the posts looking for any mention of how to install these games with the .rar extension...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Quote:
My memory may be fuzzy but I don't recall IPB being able to work with a .rar file directly. If you take a look inside of the .rar file (using something line WinRar), what is there? Just the game files (a .swf file and .gif files) or a .tar file? Are these IPB games or v3A games or something else? |

After some serious hacking and slashing I was able to run this as a CMS Widget. Starting to look real good! |
One more permission error.
This time with playing a Mochi(sp) game. Attempt to save uses the following: http://xxx.com/arcade.php?sessdo=burn&mochigame=5173 This brings back a "you don't have access". This is with an "Admin" account with everything on or Yes |
Quote:
You'll also want to make you aren't using an ad blocker in your browser since that'll block the communications to bounce & verify the score against the Mochi servers. |

PHP Code:

I have a suggestion, I see user can not see others scores on Tournament page, Is there any possibility to make it viewable for players and tournament creator? In ibproArcade everyone can see.
|
Great to see this finally released on vb.org, well done Kevin and the v3arcade team for all your hard work and efforts :)
|
Wow it's so awesome, 1 of the best detailed extended mods I've got on my forums!
Great job! Really! --Edit-- does anyone know if it's possible to remove the ads out of the games from mochi media? |

Yep, that was it... Needed to upload the crossdomain.xml file... Same game I had a problem with now works fine (and quickly I might add).
EXCELLENT! Nice to have such a major mod keep up with the times! |

And to contribute to everyone here with CMS.
If you would like to add a Widget to your CMS. Download the CMPS module here: http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3502 Open the .xml file and manually add the templates to your skin. Just look for the template name and copy everything between the [CDATA] tags. Then create a new PHP widget and paste this: PHP Code:
1st... This isn't my code... 2nd... I commented out the BB_Code parse for the "news" since I don't know the global call for the do_parse command. 3rd... I did some edits to the templates to make mine fit nicely on the side. |
Is there a plugin/script to replace the trophy.gif icon in the users postbit with icons for each individual game?

ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade General Settings => Enable Arcade Awards You'll have your choice of showing either trophies, crowns (all the same color), multi-color crowns (random colored crowns), or the game's mini-icon. |
I downloaded the version from v3 website. I get an error when I try to mass import games:
Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in /admincp/v3arcade_admin.php on line 1157 |

Yes I downloaded the one for 4.0.X

I need instructions for where and how to add games. What I really need is an "Install For Dummies" manual :)
Love this mod a lot better than IPB. |
