v3 Arcade Tournament
 

SK v3 Arcade Tournament v1.0.5

A tournament add-on for v3 Arcade v1.0.7 (by John Warwick)
Created for vBulletin v3.6. Now also tested on v3.7 and v3.8.

This add-on is not needed and doesn't work on the new v3Arcade 2.0.0. It has its own tournamnet system (based on this one).
Since this is now starting to be obsolete I've removed the Supported status. I will of course still try and help those who use it as much as I can though.

cool,very nice

thank u very very much

Great work skhms!

mrmike click install! ;)

with this hack installed i can only see the list of four games that you have included with it, I have 100`s of games installed and they don't show up :confused: any ideas please? :o

I am guessing that the games you see is converted for v3Arcade and those that don't show is ibPro games.

If you make a challenge, do all games show or is it only the same four?
I am using the same query to get valid games as v3Arcade uses on challenges. So it should be the same games showing.

There is a sql query you can do to make all games look like they are v3Arcade games. If that is the problem.

/SK

its always the same four. Thanks a lot

Thanks for the release! Gonna have to re-install the arcade system once again on my newly forums. :D

still waiting for a fix please.

For a quick fix you can enter this at the Maintenance > Execute SQL Query Page:

This changes the system flag to 0 and all games will show in both tournament and challenges. (It is set to 10 for ibPro games)
It will only fix the games you currently have installed. If you install new ibPro games you will have to run the query again.

I will change this in an update and include both, had forgot about it.
There is no reason why ibPro games can't be used in a tournament (or challenges).
