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.

Supports MochiAds, v3 Arcade and IBPArcade games!

• Edit-free template updates!

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)

Thanks again for a great mod...

Why, yes, yes there is .... there are so many options in the ACP that sometimes I forget what is ACP configurable.

For those wanting to add/change the available game zoom dimensions, you can find the option at ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade General Settings => Game Size Resolutions.

It would be nice if you could add a "Pull-down" menu to change the category while in the "Manage Games" section.

If you don't mind, post that in the Suggestions forum over at v3Arcade.com?

One feature I would like, is when you download games, for there to be a way not to include the games you have already downloaded.

Do you mean in the Mochi listings? Unfortunately there isn't a quick path to doing that because the Mochi listings are really XML feeds that are read from the Mochi servers in real time. To filter them against the list of already installed would cause a bunch of queries as your go through the pages of the list of games.

on 3.8 and v31rcade 1..0.6 there was addon to make it work to get words in the link ex:

but now it it will not work
and i hope you add title of the game in the arcade play page :
arcade.php?do=play&gameid=1464
to be
arcade.php?do=play&gameid=1464&title=UFO Breaker
so we can use vbseo to make it :

How can you tell what type of game it is? It's called Ninja Kid. I imported all my games over from IbpArcade
