When I edit the htaccess.txt file accordingly, it still gives me the same message.

I am using vb 4.1.10.

The file you need to make is .htaccess, not htaccess.txt

I don't have games to give you, but you can import hundreds from mochi, or convert from the other arcades.

Yes, but the message you got during install indicates that file already exists on your site. Look for it in your forum root directory, and edit on the code that it presented to you. If you are having trouble doing that, contact me via PM with the content of that .htaccess file and I will give you what you should replace it with.

Go to the Import Games section in the vBArcade menu in the admincp. There you can upload the games individually for import, or ftp them all into the directory it indicates. Submit that form to begin the process.

I understand how to upload but which web site i may get all games ? And how may i save it ? Please help me =[

[Darkwaltz4]

Google. Or, you can use the feed-based import with mochi right through your admincp, via the same Import Games page (you need to sign up for free api keys with mochi though).

[whitey92lx]

Im not sure why I cant find the .htaccess file on my server. When I do a search for it, it shows there to be at least 20 different ones, but when I click on each one to go to the file, it just takes me to the folder where it is supposed to be, but there is no .htaccess file there.

[Darkwaltz4]

Your FTP client is probably not showing you the "hidden" files on your server (ones preceded with a period like that). If you would like, you can PM me your ftp info and I can locate and edit the correct file for you.
