=================================
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 noticed this: Developer Last Online: Jun 2008
But, hasn't posted since May 07.

Does this mean that this software is officially abandoned? I paid for the no branding, and I think I at least deserve a word on the future of it.. Maybe a mass e-mail to everyone who registered on v3arcade.com saying "ib pro arcade" or something to that effect to get the message across.

I like this better than ib pro, and I paid for it, so I'm going to leave it installed for a while longer. I just don't think it's right to keep your customers in the dark about the future of a product they paid for. (especially since it claims to be "supported")

It would be nice if John popped in here and gave us a quick word--I guess he's just busy.

This is how John always supports his mods. He bursts onto the scene with something cool, swears he's going to support it, and then leaves for extended periods of time. It's been this way since I've been here and probably before...

Can anyone help with this..

ive installed this add on just fine, but i want guests to be able to play aswell.

but they are getting this message

"you need to have a reputation of at least 0 points. Your current reputation stands at points"

I thought setting this to zero in unregistered guests permissions would allow them to play - am i missing something ?

kes · #**2986** 06-12-2008, 11:07 AM

Hi all,

getting another issue when unregistered users finish the game, it gives them a database error as below. (i want unregistered to be able to play so thats ok)

Invalid SQL:
SELECT arcade_sessions.*, user.username, user.arcadeoptions FROM vb_arcade_sessions AS arcade_sessions
LEFT JOIN vb_user AS user ON (user.userid=arcade_sessions.userid)
WHERE arcade_sessions.valid=1 AND arcade_sessions.gameid=139 AND ()
ORDER BY score DESC, arcade_sessions.finish DESC
LIMIT 10;

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')
ORDER BY score DESC, arcade_sessions.finish DESC
LIMIT 10' at line 3
Error Number : 1064

I fixed it this way
In arcade.php, find:

PHP Code:


			
$vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] = 0;

Below it add:

PHP Code:


			
$vbulletin->userinfo['reputation'] = 0

This one I have never seen before. It seems that it will occur when a guest plays and there is no score since before. When you have one score this will not be a issue any more.
But I guess it could be fixed this way:
In arcade.php, find:

PHP Code:


			
        $scores = $db->query_read("SELECT arcade_sessions.*, user.username, user.arcadeoptions FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "arcade_sessions AS arcade_sessions

        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (user.userid=arcade_sessions.userid)

        WHERE arcade_sessions.valid=1 AND arcade_sessions.gameid=$game[gameid] AND ($scorecache)

        ORDER BY score " . iif($game['isreverse']==1, 'ASC', 'DESC') . ", arcade_sessions.finish DESC

        LIMIT " . $vbulletin->options['scoresperpage']);

and replace it with:

PHP Code:


			
        $scores = $db->query_read("SELECT arcade_sessions.*, user.username, user.arcadeoptions FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "arcade_sessions AS arcade_sessions

        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (user.userid=arcade_sessions.userid)

        WHERE arcade_sessions.valid=1 AND arcade_sessions.gameid=$game[gameid] " . iif( $scorecache, "AND ($scorecache)" ) . "

        ORDER BY score " . iif($game['isreverse']==1, 'ASC', 'DESC') . ", arcade_sessions.finish DESC

        LIMIT " . $vbulletin->options['scoresperpage']);

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
