Steps to install a new game?
 
Hello guys can anbody list the used steps of how to upload a new
game to the IpProArcade so we dont waste time looking everywhere in the forum.

An example i have .rar file.. extracted i got the files : .SWF, .PHP, .GIF
How to deal with them?
thanks alot

If you are manually installing the game, there are three files required, minimum (Some special games, like the Yeti ones, require some extras): The main .SWF file needs to be copied to the /arcade directory; two .GIF files (a 20 x 20 pixel image named <gname>2.gif, and a 50 x 50 pixel image named <gname>1.gif) needs to be copied to the /arcade/images directory. You would then manually add the game using information gleaned from the .PHP file, such as the gname (game name), size of the game, scoring type, description, and so on.

A much easier way would be to .tar the four files into one called game_<gname>.tar and upload that to the /arcade/tar directory, and let the auto installer take care of it...

How can i manually add the game using gleaned? what is gleaned? how can i get the
game name?

or how to convert the file to .tar game_<gname>.tar? so i can let the installer in the arcade /.tar take care of it.

thanks alot, and sorry i'm new to this. :)

yeah if youre new to this i would recommend you to use only .TAR games

you can google for: ibpro arcade games

or go here: www.ibpdownloads.com

once you have your .TAR game you just need to upload it in your
forums/arcade/games/tar games folder

then just go to the arcade CP in your forum and go to add games, you should have the option to add the game you just uplaoded to the tar folder.

ok you just need to leave the .Tar file in
/site.com/forums/arcade/tar
once the file is in the folder, go to the arcade cp, click on add game
then you should see the option to insttall the game, you dont have to do anything else.


here is another site for games

Sounds like you skipped a step while installing:
