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'm new and haven't read through all 170 odd pages, so forgive me for asking a question that must have been asked several times before. Why install this over the ibProArcade one?

[drupy]

For the same reason as the post above, excuse me for asking: can we somehow install both v3 Arcade and ibProArcade on a single forum? Thank you.

[MrZeropage]

why do you want two arcades beside?

[phpdevrus]

anyone know about when the latest update to v3 arcade will come out? how about the first multiplayer game?

In my case, to showcase them both. Unfortunately, it does not seem that you guys are able(?) to co-exist. Either that or there has never been a true effort to do so.

Please let me know what may cause this. I got the same error trying to edit other usergroups. I disabled all mods I installed today (plugins), still same error.

hi there,

i have a problem with v3arcade in the backend. I can only access the Settings but not the other options like "default user settings", "Categories" and so on. When I try to access one of them I get an Error 404 page?!
