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.

any help please.

I followed the stupid upgrade instructions and everything on the games got removed once I reached step 3. I had a stressful day, and this damned upgrade made it worse. Although it upgraded successfully, step 3 is NOT necessary to do. Damn bastard.

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM games;

MySQL Error : Table 'ossanctu_csforums.games' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

Got that error when I tried to "import" my "old" games and scores.

[ImportPassion]

all working well...one question.

Possible to make it so that if it costs 0 to play, the phrase does not show up?

[Otikeu]

Um, update needed in the upgrade for 1.0.x to 1.5.x? As in the upgrade instructions, you forgot to add the how-to for 1.0.x - 1.5.x.

Thanks.

whats your table prefix?

If you dont have a table prefix you just need to go into phpmyadmin -> select your database, then click sql at the top and run this query.

if you have one then tell me an i'll update that to your table prefix.

[rjordan]

Now all we need is that per-game permissions option and the tournament added.

[WoodiE]

Doesn't look like the upgrade fixes the problem with NOT being able to install new games, here's the error...

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

arcadeimport.php has only ever been a tool to import scores and games from v3 Arcade for vBulletin 3.0.x. From the upgrade instructions:

//=================================\\
         Upgrading from 3.0.x
\\=================================//

If you're upgrading from a version of v3 Arcade for vBulletin 3.0.x, follow these instructions.

1. Make sure you upgrade vBulletin to 3.5.1 first. 
2. Remove all of the old Arcade templates from the forum. To do this, upload arcadetools.php from this zip file to your Admin CP directory and visit http://www.yoursitehere.com/forums/admincp/arcadetools.php?do=clean
3. Read "Installation Instructions.txt" from this zip file, and proceed with installation as normal.
4. Run http://www.yoursitehere.com/forums/admincp/arcadeimport.php to import old games and scores.

It clearly states this is for 3.0.x only.
