I think you may have misunderstood me...

I'm no longer using the IPBArcade mod that is listed here on vB.org. Thad has long since been uninstalled and there are no product/plugin files associated with that mod installed in my forum.

I went to another site that has those games...and I'm not sure if I can mention it here...so, I won't. But a simple Google search ill direct you to those games.

I downloaded the tar files and uploaded them as specified in the Import instructions via the Admin Control Panel. The install went fine...it's just that the issue with the new high scores not being reflected as the actual high score. It will show the score in the user's profile tab, but will not record it as the new high score. It only happens when nobody else has played the game...and one beats their own high score.

But it may have been because I was doing a 'wipe all scores' first and then trying to get the problem to happen again (played an IPB game, got a score, played again and got a higher score, but the new score was recording fine). Still looking into it.

BTW...

I'm not sure if this is important, but because I'm not using the Mochiads I did not upload the crossdomain.xml file. However, I don't think this would cause the issue.

Hi Everyone I've been running v3 Arcade since 2006 v1.0.6 and its been running great.

I went ahead and upgraded from v1.0.6 to the latest and everything is great.

One slight problem is, I had the addon plugin to allow installation of games through IMPEX I guess v1.0.6 didnt have a good installation feature.

Now in my Admin Panel I see *[arcade_settings]* which is a left over from the older v3 Arcade.

How can I remove this? anyone know which files to edit?

If you're not going to use Mochi, then, yes, the crossdomain.xml file can be ignored.

Yes, this version is intended for vB 3.8.x.

[Saviour]

When I click the link for the Leaderboard, I get the following error...

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/v3arcade_functions.php on line 203

Again...running vB 3.8.5, with vBA 3.2.2 and v3a 2.0.1. All files uploaded except the crossdomain.xml file. Didn't upload it since I will not be using Mochiads.

Little help? Thanks...

Im getting errors on your plugin.

PHP version: 5.3.2
vBulletin version: 3.8.5

This displays at the very top of the page.

I also get this message where the arcade should view:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.

Line: 55

Any ideas?

In reply to my own post, I've now fixed the issue.

I simply editted:

PHP Code:

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 


To:

PHP Code:

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192); 


Seems to have fixed the issue.
