Game colours... Changed?
 

Hey guyz.

I migrated from v3arcade to ibparcade, i'm using the same games...

A member pointed out a strange problem today...

Parts of games are black when they shouldn't be...

For example. A game on my forum, Air Dodge... It was a blue/white sky when played on v3arcade, now it's a black sky on ibp.

Same with KCYL Tetris... Except with KYCL Tetris, the score and level is in black on the white background, but because the background when played in ibp is black, you can't see the scores and level...

I personally don't understand it coz I asumed the colouring was predefined as a part of the game file...

These are the same game files that I used on v3arcade...

Is there any way to maintain the colours so that they aren't 'changed'... Just screws around with some games when you current score and what not is in black as well..

Thanks

EDIT: I have just realised that this also effects some entire games, with the game screen being completely black. This again was not the case in ibp...

Any help would be appriciated

You need to change the background colour (black) of each game.
It's an option in the Admin CP.

each game?

I have over 500!!!

This was never a problem in v3arcade

I edited the skin file (forum/arcade/skins/) so that each games background was white.

Edit each instance of bgcolor to:
<param name="bgcolor" value="white" />

yeah, I might do that if I get desprate...

but what i'm trying to say, is that obviously there is a default colour... In v3arcade some games where blue, other's white, black yellow...

Why does ibp need a defined background? just makes things more complicated

it is more flexible, not complicated :)

I did not saw any setting for this in v3arcade in the DB ...


If you want to change the BGCOLOR of all Games, just use Query(replace 000000 with the color-code of your wish)

thanks zeropage

hey mate, i'm getting an error:
An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table 'commodor_vB_clcc.games_list' doesn't exist

maybe you are using TABLE-PREFIX ? Then use this instead of pure "games_list" ...

thanks mate, forgot about the prefix ;)
