v3 Arcade
for vBulletin 3.6.1
=================================

"v3 Arcade" is the third Arcade system I've written for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch, not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin 3.6 it uses the product system for code modifications, and utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

- Supports both v3 Arcade and iB games.
- Download *legal* free, premium and multiplayer games directly from v3arcade.com to your Arcade installation.
- Import script to convert your old v3 Arcade installation. (A script to import games, scores and news from old IBPro installations is available here, thanks to Tigga: http:www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=324)
- AJAX based instant ratings, for simple to use game ratings.
- AJAX based inline score moderation.
- AJAX based instant game searching.
- Tabbed, customizable categories.
- Challenge system for one-on-one contests.
- User-permission based settings for email/PM notification, challenge settings.
- Streamlined viewing modes for users with lower resolutions.
- AJAX based quick stats, for viewing statistics by passing the cursor over a username.
- Mass import tools for importing games in bulk.
- Reverse and decimal based scoring.
- Arcade-only closure with customizable message.
- Per game criteria, allows you to control access to games by reputation, posts, registration length.
- Postbit based awards.
- Personalized recommendations for other games users might like, based on what they?re playing.
- Quick stats, letting a user know how many other scores are above and below theirs.
- Score ranking.
- Admin customizable ?score feedback?, displays a message based on how well as user has done.
- Numerous Admin CP settings to control things like popup opacity, maximum comment length, hover delay length, and numerous other behaviors.
- Full admin control over the types of content allowed in comments (BB code, HTML, smilies, etc.)
- Usergroup based access permissions.
- Fully phrased, for each translation into other languages.
- An ever growing collection of third party add-ons, thanks to Oblivion Knight.
- A slick, professional layout.

I get blank pages whenever I try to add games I see the header and the new games name on it but nothing else, any help?

z3r0_00 · #**1893** 07-02-2006, 09:13 PM

Why does there have to be 127 pages of garbage to find any useful info.. can SOMEONE explain in clear consise English HOW to add new games... Why this is NOT in the instructions is beyond me. Also from what I have read I believe I have installed the games right.. but when I go to import I get this error...

Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/gamerzp/public_html/admin1cp/arcadeadmin.php on line 600

I have done what someone else said and delted the arcadeadmin file and reuploaded it.. BUT I am still getting this error. How do you fix this?

trinigamers · #**1894** 07-02-2006, 11:21 PM

Is there a way to manually edit scores in d mysql db?
some user scores are not adding..so i want to do one or 2 manually

ltaylor · #**1895** 07-03-2006, 02:42 AM

Just a few short minutes to install, worked seamlessly. Love the look and layout in my forum. Thank you for creating and sharing!

ltaylor · #**1896** 07-03-2006, 05:09 AM

I've been trying to upload games via vbgames.com. Following the instructions to a T. (I mean they are very easy , simple installations compared to other's I've done), I keep getting this error each time I try to run the install . (point to browser).

HTML Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/just4pa/public_html/forums/admincp/pacman.game.php on line 31

Anyone know why this is happening? What am I missing here. All files are installed in proper folders. Do I need a permission to upload? is there a setting I need to adjust?

You got a misnamed folder for one. Just noticed it when looking again.

.../home/gamerzp/public_html/admin1cp/arcadeadmin.php on line 600

Bet that is the issue.

Game shouldn't be in /admincp/ should be put in .../forums/admincp/games/ for installing. You missed part of the directions.

I get the same error every time.

I've tried using the .tar and once that error appears the file is deleted from the directory.

I've tried having them all unzipped in that dir, same error, everything deleted.

What is going on? =/

Here's the PHP from one tar that doesn't work;

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$config = array(



gname        =>  'nanacacrashSYKOECT',

gtitle        =>  'Nanaca Crash',

bgcolor        =>  'dddddd',

gwidth        =>  '700',

gheight        =>  '400',

active        =>  '1',

gcat        =>    '1',



//optional leave blank if not using

gwords        =>  "See how far you can crash the person using the others for bonuses.",

object        =>  "See how far you can crash the person using the others for bonuses.",

gkeys        =>  "See in game",



);



?>

And here's a link to the tar....

Chris thanks for you help, but when I put the install folder in the suggested area, this is now the response I get.

Quote:

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/just4pa/public_html/forums/admincp/games/pacman.game.php on line 24

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/just4pa/public_html/forums/admincp/games/pacman.game.php on line 24

I also tried uploading some of the games in your link to all the directories you've mentioned and I am still getting the same error. :-( Something is missing somewhere.
