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.

Does this solve the problem you are having, in it's entirety? And, Where exactly should it be added? If you could provide a short string it would be appreciated.

Make sure that you CHMOD the following folders to 0777 for this import:
forumroot/admincp/games
forumroot/images/arcade
forumroot/games

Repost:

I know I should be asking this at v3arcade.com, but since no one over there seems to know what the problem is, I'll ask here.

I tried to add new games via the "get games" tab on v3arcade.com. When I did, I got this error at my forum:


XML Error: unknown at Line 0


BLAH!

Anyone know what the problem is?

I get this same error too.

REPOST:
Pg 17 post: WOW, this thread moves fast.... I made a post on PG 13 and was wondeirng if anyone could answer it for me. I added the arcade to the site and it's not working. But, the error I'm getting isn't what everyone else is getting. I have no clue where to even begin to fix this problem...

Pg 13 post:

Please help! I am an amature when it comes to this kind of thing. Could someone give me a starting point on how to fix this error:

Warning: main(./arcade/functions/functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /arcade.php on line 88

Warning: main(./arcade/functions/functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /arcade.php on line 88

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './arcade/functions/functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/tblough/domains/xuniverse.org/public_html/forums/arcade.php on line 88

TIA!!

make sure your directories are setup correctly.
under the forum root, there should not be an "arcade" folder, but only a file ("arcade.php").


and john...well done! thanks for the work and releasing this!

John you can email webmaster@vbulletingames.com

I did a whois lookup and it's registered through Godaddy so it didn't give me any contact info
