Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)

v3 Arcade is now a member of the vBadvanced family!

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47571

The support forums & data from v3Arcade.com have been merged into the vBadvanced.com site.



=================================
v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4.x.x
For vBulletin 3.x.x, please see here.
=================================

Please note... until v3Arcade.com is upgraded to vBulletin 4, some demo sites can be found here. Also, because of styling changes introduced in vB 4.0.8 to allow customized user profile pages, this version requires 4.0.8+ to be installed.

"v3 Arcade" is the premiere arcade system written specifically for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch - not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin it uses the product system for code modifications & utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4 also has some feature differences versus v3 Arcade for vBulletin 3. Currently that list includes....

• The separate Arcade navbar has been replaced with the options being moved up to the standard vB navbar. Be sure to turn on the navbar link! (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade General Settings => Navbar Link Position)
• When viewing a game categories other than the 'All' category, the category name will now be included in the navbar breadcrumbs.
• Added a new template "v3arcade_postbit_userid_trophy_wrapper" to allow adding some HTML around the arcade award images in the postbit.
• The category tabs shown on the main page will use the vB styling instead of their own defined styles. As we go forward the vB4 version of v3A will lose more & more of it's custom styling and instead use more of the new vB4 styling features elements.
• New option to display a "New" game category tab that will display all games in newest to oldest order. In addition to the new tab a "New Games" link will also be shown in the vB "What's New" navbar link. (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade Homepage Settings => Display "New" Category Tab)

Very nice idea..:up:

I`ve worked on it for a day or two and this is what I`ve come up with..

Game Challenge from arcade main,, per game

Give it a try..

Choose your opponent from the drop down box.

After upgrade to 4.2 no one can submit scores, it takes them to the forum homepage. Any work around for this?

There is a conversion script in this thread - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?p=221023

The most up-to-date script is in the last post. If you are looking for support for it then I'd suggest posting your queries within that thread.

Quick update for the v3arcade_tournaments_forumhome template to eliminate the :0 :0 on forumhome for guests and also add the number of completed tournaments and a clickable link to them

Open v3arcade_tournaments_forumhome and replace everything with

<dl>
    <dt>Tournaments Awaiting Players</dt>
    <dd><a href="arcadetourmnt.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewwaiting">{vb:raw tourcounts.0}</a></dd>
    <dt>Active Tournaments</dt>
    <dd><a href="arcadetourmnt.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewactive">{vb:raw tourcounts.1}</a></dd>
        <dt>Completed Tournaments</dt>
        <dd><a href="arcadetourmnt.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=viewfinished">{vb:raw tourcounts.2}</a></dd>
       </dl>

That's awesome stannger5! Thank you so much. I think this will generate a lot of activity in the arcade, since this makes it obvious you can play against people you know (or want to know) instead of against a scores.

Where can I get this code?

Is your leaderboard empty or do you have data (members with highscores) on it?
