Don't forget to click 'Installed'.

For more games, you'll want to keep an eye out for when v3A 2.0.0 is released. v3A has been completly re-worked for integration with MochiGames.

Check this thread over at vBCredits.com.

If you can repeat the problem with specific games, please report it over at v3Arcade.com so we can try to duplicate it. If it can be duplicated, it can be fixed.

If they were off in 'programmer land' playing with vB4 alpha/beta and starting to work on their hacks & mods, then they couldn't talk about it because it would be against the terms of the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that they all had to sign.

Nobody has reported this one before. If you don't mind, could you please submit the problem over at v3Arcade.com so it can be sure to get looked at?

wow Thank you I don't know How I missed all this new stuff, I have some work cut out. But at least maybe I missed out on some bugs.

[ctlatino]

more games please?

[midirtrider]

will this work with 3.6.0?

I know I know I need to upgrade

Ok, new problem but not too big an issue. Maybe someone here has seen the same thing. I use Multi-colored Crowns in the postbit. But I have a user that has a ton of the crowns and its pushing his posts out of our theme. Does anyone know of a way to have the crowns drop down to another line at a certain number so it wont push the post window outside of out theme?

It *should* but you'll likely need to do some template edits manually.

What version are you using? This problem came up before about the number of awards shown in the postbit, so the newer versions have ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade General Settings => Show All Awards in Postbit as option.

I could be missing something or even messed something up im switching from IPB to V3 and when i go to "mysite.com/forum/arcade.php it always redirects to .arcade.html but on all the sites i check except mine it says arcade.php.

Also my Auto Template Edit to the Navbar says the same /arcade.html if you hover over it or click and follow it.

Can someone help please.

Thank you.

By any chance, are you using vBSEO or some other type URL rewriting add-on? If so, you'll want to exclude "arcade.php" & "arcadetourmnt.php" from the rewrite rules (the file "arcadetourmnt.php" is a new file included in v3A 2.0.0, not present in older version).

Correct, but we are darn close to releasing 2.0.0 "Gold" to the general public. The beta testing is currently at RC2 and are down to just a couple of items on the To Fix list.
