It seems gameroom has been abandoned, I' hope this gets updated to 4.

Yep, this is an essential part of my football site as well. I can't upgrade to VB 4 until there is a vBookie version that works with it or there is something equivalent out there. I fear that it could be a while before I'm able to make the leap to VB4. I would definitely pay $$$ to support this mod or purchase it.

Mines works, but I have a general question, in the vbookie.php where you can find the open / closed posted bets etc, well I've got a number of open bets which threads were physically deleted. (Thread | Info).. When I click thread it just says 'No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator' I know the thread is gone and there is no delete option but would it be possible for me to get these removed from the vbookie.php and how can I do this?

Know what else would be awesome, some sort of hack which works alongside vbookie and posts updates / latest events etc on the forumhome index.

Thanks!

You can run the SQL queries in AdminCP in the Maintenance menu.

For a complete vBookie reset run these SQL queries:

Reset everyone's vCash:

UPDATE user SET vbookie_cash=X;
where X= vCash (eg 500)

To totally clear all past events:

DELETE FROM vbookie_news;
DELETE FROM vbookie_bets_placed;
DELETE FROM vbookie_item_options;
DELETE FROM vbookie_items;
DELETE FROM vbookie_groups;

Some other useful vBookies queries people might find useful:

To remove a specific event:
DELETE FROM vbookie_items WHERE item_id = 'X';

replace X with the item id which you can get by mousing over the info link in the affected vbookie event.

To remove a news event:
DELETE FROM vbookie_news WHERE news_id = X';

To Abandon/Mitigate a wrongly settled event:

UPDATE vbookie_items SET item_status='CLOSED' WHERE item_id= 'X';

This will change it from Settled to Closed. Then click the Abandon Event link in the thread. This only returns the original stakes. vCash won as a result of the incorrect settlement is not taken away and changing the winner in the thread has no effect.

Sorry, SecondV, I don't check this forum much.

As far as I'm concerned anyone is free to hack up my original code and modify it to suit vBulletin 4. I also want vBookie on my own forum once I upgrade it to 4.0, but after spending all day coding PHP, I tend to spend my free time playing Team Fortress 2.

Rather than modifying the old code though, I might just write a new version from the ground up, since my coding's better now than it was 5 years ago. That said, I wouldn't advise anyone to hold their breath waiting for me, as I've been thinking about it for ages, and haven't actually done anything yet...

I would be so happy if you could do this or someone else in the long run as running a football forum, this mod was the heart of my forums lol. I've Not upgraded yet, but will be in under a months time. Also I've removed all mods from my site bar a few, ready for the upgrade.

All the best for the new year.

Ditto, I already shelled out money to Andrew Green for Game Room and he has deserted vbulletin I guess.
I liked the look of this better from the beginning but the warning kept me from trying to install it on 3.84

[Bacon Butty]

Have my fingers crossed this is released for 4.0...

[stb74]

vbookie runs fine for me on 3.84, cant remember though what version I started on. I would gladly pay for someone to get this up and running for vb4 and I am sure that there is enough people here to get a few of us together and make it worth someone doing it properly.

My users loved this mod as well but I upgraded to 4.0. Someone updating this would be great
