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.

aah see. no soloution for fixing it though

[webgeek247]

its ok im gonna uninstall it. dont think many will use it on my site anyway.

I never used to have problem mass importing games until now.

I have changed my admincp dir to a different name, so I am thinking that may be why.

I have admincp/games chmod to 777 with the swf the php and the 2 image files in it. plus I have done the same for my admincp dir just to try both of them out.
plus I have images/arcade chmod 777 and games chmod 777

Everytime I click on start, I get There are no more games to import.

But none have been imported.

Anyideas what I can try?

If the games are the new v32 and v33 format, you vill need this mod.

Have you got a portal like vbAdvance or something similiar?
Or in any other way not using the original vBulletin index.php file?

In that case you may need to add some code to your index.php file so it handles the submitted score.

Great mod Very feature-rich.

I have a strange problem with it giving me the vB "You do not have permission to access this page" error, even though I had set permissions for all the usergroups. I ended up setting my own user group 'Can Override Permission Checks' to yes, which allowed me to view the arcade; and after setting it back to no I was still able to view it. Others (in different user groups) could then view it too. Don't know what caused this, maybe some sort of caching.

[John3971]

how do i challenges someone else in the arcade? i have it on an its active on everybody but i can´t find out how i challenges them.
