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)

I've given up on trying to import any game using this.

All I get is

"There are no more games to import."

But nothing ever gets imported. I'm not going to manually import XXX amount of games and if it can not do it on its own, then its worthless.

The only games I seem to be able to install are from v3Arcade website and using the MochiMedia.com importer, but its not search-able.

This is what the mod is for.

Mod also says they can import games which have been uploaded manually (such as iB "Pro" Arcade games or other v3Arcade games). Nothing I upload to the server manually ever gets imported.

Only thing that gets imported is if I use v3Arcade's website or use the Browse MochiMedia.com Games (which isn't search-able)

In what way is MochiGames not searchable?

I've made a thread on v3arcade.com which might address some of your problems with ibPro games - http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3602

What steps exactly are you taking with installing your IPB games? Should be as simple as uploading the .tar files to your server (default folder is /admincp/games), making sure that the folders specified in the ACP 'Import IPB Games' are chmod to 777 during installation, and then hitting the install button.

I suspect he means from the ACP. Since the ACP is driven from pre-defined feeds off of the Mochi server, it'd be a huge mess to even try a search feature directly from within the ACP using the feeds.

If I upload a .tar file or .zip file... And tell it to mass import, all I have ever gotten is

Importing Games
There are no more games to import.

And then the .tar or .zip file is gone (off the server).

AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Import Games > Browse MochiMedia.com Games

Brings up a nice list, but you can not search by title ... ie... type in a name and get the exact game you want.

I do this. I get the following;

Importing Games
There are no more games to import.


.tar or .zip is removed, but no game imported
