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.

If you're blind, so am I. I see the options in the USER CP, but I have no idea how to go about actually challenging someone.

I got a database error when opening a games highscores while no one has yet played that game. So there were no highscores to show.
I found a solution though:

in arcade.php find:
Code:
	if ($vbulletin->options['distinctscores'])
	{
		$scorecache = array();
		while ($score = $db->fetch_array($scores))
		{
			$scorecache[] = "(arcade_sessions.score='$score[score]' AND arcade_sessions.userid=$score[userid])";
		}
			$scorecache = implode(' OR ', $scorecache);
			$scores = $db->query_read("SELECT arcade_sessions.*, user.username, user.email FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "arcade_sessions AS arcade_sessions
		    LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (user.userid=arcade_sessions.userid)
		    WHERE arcade_sessions.valid=1 AND arcade_sessions.gameid=$game[gameid] AND ($scorecache)
		    ORDER BY score " . iif($game['isreverse']==1, 'ASC', 'DESC') . ", arcade_sessions.finish DESC
	        LIMIT " . $vbulletin->options['scoresperpage']);
	}
and replace by
Code:
	if ($vbulletin->options['distinctscores'])
	{
		$scorecache = array();
		while ($score = $db->fetch_array($scores))
		{
			$scorecache[] = "(arcade_sessions.score='$score[score]' AND arcade_sessions.userid=$score[userid])";
		}
			$scorecache = implode(' OR ', $scorecache);
		if (!empty($scorecache))			
		{
			$scores = $db->query_read("SELECT arcade_sessions.*, user.username, user.email FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "arcade_sessions AS arcade_sessions
		    LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (user.userid=arcade_sessions.userid)
		    WHERE arcade_sessions.valid=1 AND arcade_sessions.gameid=$game[gameid] AND ($scorecache)
		    ORDER BY score " . iif($game['isreverse']==1, 'ASC', 'DESC') . ", arcade_sessions.finish DESC
	        LIMIT " . $vbulletin->options['scoresperpage']);
		}	
	}

That's weird, on my Arcade, when a game has yet to be played (and has no high scores) there is no "highscores" to click!

Instead it says:

Want this?
<lil pic of trophy>
Play now!

So not sure what the discrepancy would be... are you running the latest version?

That's true, the link isn't on the frontpage of the Arcade or in the catagories.
But when you open a game to play, there is always a link on the right to the scorepage, just above the "use your backbutton tip".

Still, when I click that, I don't get an error, I get an empty highscore list, that says: "No Scores Recorded"
