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.

We can only get the games if we buy it right? And the forums are closed so how are we supposed to buy it?

[Brandon Sheley]

i have plenty of games, but can't add.. can someone answer post 1631 ?
thx

[aramik]

I have added some games, but it seems it bugs up when we try to add scores to the high score field. can anyone help?

I've joined quite a few IBPro arcade game download sites and its really hit or miss if they will work with V3 Arcade. I like the clean look/fee/use of V3, but there are a bunch of (fun games I like) that are just about impossible to find that will work with v3. I just got a working version of Nanaca Crash for V3 tonite. I've been looking for it since I've installed the arcade. =/

Hopefully the new pro will include some of those games.

everything is fine but i got an Script Error, so i cannot Search Games and Add Favorites on the arcade homepage:

Line:94
Char:12
Code:0
Error:无效的属性值。(that is in chinese, in English i guess it is something like: no avaliable property value...)

anyhelps? thanks a lot!

For one, he doesn't have it done yet. When he does, he will obviously re-open the forums. Did you even read the message he posted on his site that was also posted here?

If it's not out, how could you buy it to begin with?
