v3 Arcade
for vBulletin 3.6.1
=================================

"v3 Arcade" is the third Arcade system I've written for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch, not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin 3.6 it uses the product system for code modifications, and utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

- Supports both v3 Arcade and iB games.
- Download *legal* free, premium and multiplayer games directly from v3arcade.com to your Arcade installation.
- Import script to convert your old v3 Arcade installation. (A script to import games, scores and news from old IBPro installations is available here, thanks to Tigga: http:www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=324)
- AJAX based instant ratings, for simple to use game ratings.
- AJAX based inline score moderation.
- AJAX based instant game searching.
- Tabbed, customizable categories.
- Challenge system for one-on-one contests.
- User-permission based settings for email/PM notification, challenge settings.
- Streamlined viewing modes for users with lower resolutions.
- AJAX based quick stats, for viewing statistics by passing the cursor over a username.
- Mass import tools for importing games in bulk.
- Reverse and decimal based scoring.
- Arcade-only closure with customizable message.
- Per game criteria, allows you to control access to games by reputation, posts, registration length.
- Postbit based awards.
- Personalized recommendations for other games users might like, based on what they?re playing.
- Quick stats, letting a user know how many other scores are above and below theirs.
- Score ranking.
- Admin customizable ?score feedback?, displays a message based on how well as user has done.
- Numerous Admin CP settings to control things like popup opacity, maximum comment length, hover delay length, and numerous other behaviors.
- Full admin control over the types of content allowed in comments (BB code, HTML, smilies, etc.)
- Usergroup based access permissions.
- Fully phrased, for each translation into other languages.
- An ever growing collection of third party add-ons, thanks to Oblivion Knight.
- A slick, professional layout.

New user here, so bear with me...

When I go to Default User Settings, when I go to save, I get this:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/arcadeadmin.php on line 1047

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3163

What did I do wrong??

[Alien]

This is not an issue with the arcade hack.

Update to 3.6 Beta 3 and the problem will fix itself.

Any ideas on my problem? I deleted and re-upped all the files. I do have them CHMOD to 777 and it will not let me make the games active, so when you try to go to the arcade, you are told you do not have permission to view this page...

There are no GAMES at that link.

And what php/mysql version are you running.


As for games. You won;t find any "Free packs" avaliable. unless you go through illegal means to get them.

Some sites offer some of there games in singles only stipulation is that you have to become an active member of their community.

The transfer Needed to Server arcade games are humungous.

You have to set all the user permissions before you can play in the arcade. As for this, as well as the games, I highly suggest you go back about 10 pages, and read thru them. Most of what people post here (minus the the newer BETA of VB) have been answered in the previous 10 pages. Multiple links have been posted for games, mulitple times the same question has been re-answered over and over. Reading back, solves most of it, that and the little search button just rocks!

Thank you for answering these.

Answer please?
