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.

Lionel, you uninstall products in the same place as you install them. Use the drop down menu.

John, problem is the product disappeared, not to be found in that place, after I upgraded from 1.0 to 1.01. I manually deleted the tables, and since settings were empty in admincp, nothing was necessary.. However on re installing I get the same errors.

Here is the error I get after I drop all tables and try to start from scratch

PHP Code:

 Database error in vBulletin 3.5.1:
Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE vb3_arcade_categories ADD categoryid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment;
MySQL Error  : Duplicate column name 'categoryid'
Error Number : 1060

This is easy to do with Promotions, unless you're talking about setting permissions for individual games.

To everyone who has it installed but can't see the link in their navigation panels, try going to the Plugin Manager, Editing a plugin and saving it without changing anything. For some reason, this fixed it when I was having the same problem with another hack.

[Snoop-It]

SQL query:

ALTER TABLE vb3_arcade_categories ADD categoryid int( 10 ) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT

MySQL said: Documentation
#1075 - Incorrect table definition; There can only be one auto column and it must be defined as a key

I dont have a clue what im doing, could some 1 guide me the exact code to paste in phpmyadmin

[Lionel]

Oh man, version 1.0 was working perfect. Just don't know what took me to be among the first to upgrade. Now I've got nothing :-(

[Snoop-It]

^^ i hear ya, my whole enitre arcade is wiped off... :/

[John]

Uninstall the product.

Run each of these queries one by one.

ALTER TABLE usergroup DROP arcadepermissions
ALTER TABLE user DROP arcadeoptions
ALTER TABLE arcade_games DROP isreverse
ALTER TABLE user DROP challengecache
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS arcade_challenges
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS arcade_categories
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS arcade_games
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS arcade_news
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS arcade_sessions
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS arcade_ratings

So far, all of the errors I've seen here were solved on my table prefix installation by the latest installation. Because I can't replicate this problem it's very difficult for me to fix it.
