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.

Hi,

I am also getting this error, "I get this whenever I try to edit any usergroup with the Arcade enabled".

Is there a fix for this?

From what I'm reading, v3arcade 1.0.7 doesn't work with vBulletin 3.6.2... is that true? If so... wow... I'm surprised. 3.6.2 seemed like such a minor update.

[DementedMindz]

works on my 3.6.2

[SuperFly]

works fine

[shaynehammy]

I need V 1.06 download link. I am running 3.5.4 and need arcade to work with the new VBux / Vbplaza.

Any help is appreciated.

This arcade is fantastic.. You could make it a paid hack if you had the following: Titles = Gamename Only. <-- easily done with a template edit but some users won't know how.

Unique Meta Description on every game, plus the description of the game showing on all game pages <-- easily done, see http://forum.snesclassics.com/arcade/

I've also added a mod-rewrite so it has nice clean urls using vBseo. <- would be nice if this came with one.

And finally probably most important something i cant do on my own, add a browse button for uploading swfs and the images for the games. Now this will help people add games because you won't need FTP access to the server which means mods/admins can help fill the arcade.

I think many people would be willing to pay for a premium version of this hack with the above included. I hope you release it john. :laugh:
