[DOWNLOAD] Converter (from v3arcade to ibProArcade)

Anybody who has v3arcade running on his site and wants to migrate to ibProArcade... Here is the solution


This will automatically convert your installed games and, if you want to, even all the scores from v3arcade to ibProArcade.
The converter is designed to be used on a fresh ibProArcade-installation as you will lose all installed games and scores in your ibProArcade.


The Converter is compatible to:

• vBulletin 3.5.x / 3.6.x
• ibProArcade v2.5.9+ and later
• v3arcade 1.0.6 (for vBulletin 3.5.x)
  usage with <1.0.6 are untested yet, please let me know if/how this works

Just follow those steps to migrate:

1) don't touch your v3arcade-installation yet, just close the arcade
2) download ibProArcade and install it
3) upload the attached converter to your forum's root-directory and run it

That's all, the converter is interactive and will tell you what to do ect.


Don't forget to remove the converter.php after everything is done !


The converter will let you choose if you want to remove v3arcade after conversion or not.

After you successfully converted, feel free to click UNINSTALL for v3arcade


Note to the sceptics
If you want to take a look on ibProArcade first while not losing your v3arcade, make sure you rename your /arcade.php to /v3arcade.php before you install ibProArcade. Then, after conversion is done, do not remove v3arcade at this time and test ibProArcade.
If you feel comfortable with it, remove v3arcade later via vBulletin's Product-Manager or (and that is what I point you to) run the converter again, it will provide a link for uninstallation on the first page and then guide you through the complete uninstallation (will even tell you which files and folders to remove, which the Product-uninstaller does not!). Remember to remove the renamed /v3arcade.php too
If you dislike ibProArcade, please let me know the reason and uninstall ibProArcade via the Product-Manager, then rename your /v3arcade.php to /arcade.php and you can use your v3arcade again.



If you find any bugs, if you have any improvements, ideas ect. please let me know

Converted games from v3arcade suffer from the 'Score not saved problem' but newly uploaded ones from .tar files are fine. Any suggestions as to a fix ?

Converter does not find v3 arcade, It also says that I will lose scores and trophys

v3arcade 2.0.0 has not been released. As far as I know, it's still in Beta.

Ok, I've managed to tweak converter.php and it seems to have worked, but before I post it here I just have one question...when the converter finished, I was told:

Now you have to do the following steps in your AdminCP (Arcade -> Score Tools):
1) run Update Highscores
2) run Update the Best Results
3) run Update League

Is there a way to run these in my browser?

Ok, managed to find the link, but have no idea why it's not in my admin cp...something I'll probably figure out at some point.

Anyway, I've attached my converter.php, but please, please, please backup your database before using it as I'm not a programer and know very little about...well, anything really! :erm:
