In my opinion you may release the converter now (or as soon as it is done) - if it doens't affect the add on and the gamedata-folder can be shared easily.

On the other hand: a timeline would be interesting - when do you plan to release the next major release? Is it a question of day, weeks or months?

PROBLEM HERE!!! - Help please!

Any iB "Pro" Arcade I install does not write a score
It just takes me to: http://www.rarewarecentral.com/forum...de&do=newscore
The same thing happens with all the prevous versions of V3arcade I've used.
What should I do to fix this?

How are you installing the .tar files?

Yes. through uploading the tar's in the admincp/games folder.

my backup drive has crashed causing me to loose everything, including the original zip files i had of the games with the php files inside. so all i am left with is the swf and image files that are still on the hosted website. so is it possible to import the games on another website? can i do the export and import thing?

Are they the v32 games? That should be fixed with the latest version of v3Arcade.

No.. You need the entire zip/tar file.

V32 games only write the score once and then after that give you the vbulletin no permission error. Tested on several forums on several platforms with the same error.
