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, im having a little problem, on the Board, whenever someone posts, there is a little box under the box where the user posted that says
"Challenge User in the Arcade" and then it has a bunch of arcade stats and i really dont want anything from the Arcade to roll over into my Forum. Is there any way to fix this so these stupid messages dont get displayed there?

[clam]

hey - great mod, my users love it - but i cant get the scores to submit on some of the games - any idea whats wrong or how to fix it?

Can any of you guide us in the right direction ?

Thanks.

[coreyspeed]

we have sorted that problem now turns out we didnt have the tables installed had to manually install them

[paulvev]

Installed and working sweet on 3.6.7

Only thing missing (or requested please!)

Is there a way to display the TOTAL AMOUNT OF GAMES PLAYED and THE MOST POPULAR GAME in the Arcade Stats at the bottom of the Acrade_main.php ?
Thanks in advance. This is by far the best mod on Vbulletin.

Does anyone remember the query to update "Minimum Posts Per Day" for all games at once? It was posted ages ago on the home site but it's been long turned off.

(And yes I know of the option in the Games section but it's a drag doing it for over 300 games when one simple query can fix it...)

This should do it

UPDATE tableprefixarcade_games SET minpoststhisday='xx'

Where xx is the minimum number of posts per day you want to change it to.

Excellent, thanks for that quick response!
