Great! I like v3arcade more than ibproarcade But i have some problems with games - If game contains folder "gamedata" - it`s not work :-( This type of game is not supported?
And question yet - i have big collection of games, but i don`t know - it are v2 or v32 or v3a?

@Pyro: Make sure you uploaded all of the files to your /includes folder.

@Ljuysa: "v32" game compatibility will be in the next version coming up (1.0.9). It is in beta right now being tested. Note: The current IBP => v3A converter does not yet support converting v32 games; an updated converter will be coming later.

Ok, so this is what I did first. I took all of the folder called "files and added them into my includes folder. Then I tried to import the xml again and got the same error. Then I tried it like the install directions said. Just upload the files to my forums directory which i did. THen I tried importing the xml and the same error. So any ideas?

[KW802]

Please clarify... where exactly did you put the files?

In the zip is a folder named "files" and inside of that folder are several files and sub-folders. Everything inside of that "files" folder was to be uploaded to your forums folder, not your forums/includes folder.

In other words, the "arcade.php" file for example should be (*if* your forums folder is named "forums") available at /forums/arcade.php and not /forums/includes/arcade.php.

[pyro1082]

Ok, so my forums are called forums. I uploaded the files folder to my forums directory "forums" So in my ftp i see a directory called files next all my vbulletin directories, admincp, ext. So then once i uploaded that directory i went to my control panel in vbulletin and attempted to import the xml file. Then i got the error.

[tyranny]

You shouldn't upload the "files" folder, you should only upload the contents of the "files" folder. You should not have a folder called "files" when you look via ftp.

So if you board is at http://www.yourforum.com/forum/
your arcade.php should be here: http://www.yourforum.com/forum/arcade.php

Then upload all the files to their matching vb folders you already have

admincp files to admincp folder
images files to images folder... etc.

Hope that helps.

Can also be seen in action Here

Check your link. It has two "Http://"

Question: I just installed it, went into my usergroups to set the permissions, and discovered to my surprise, that they are in another language. Any thoughts about putting it into English?

Edit: It's all in a foreign language. How do I change it to English?

NEVER MIND: We'll just call that one a "Brain Fart." lol

This may come back to haunt me but... submit a Support Ticket at CinVin (http://www.cinvin.com) and I'll take a look. We do not have ticket system in place at the v3A site ("yet" for those wondering ) so that's why I'm asking that you submit it at CinVin. I'll be online late tonight so if I see the Ticket tonight then I'll get it tonight, else late Sunday night.

You can get additional games at v3Arcade.com. The games that come included with the zip and the games offered in the Game Shop at v3A are made available with their creators permission.
