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.

You can delete all the scores for that person, then ban them from the forums via user cp.

There are no GAMES at that link.

Go to either the link or to the very first post, look on the right side and you should see a box like the attached pic shows.
Make sure you are logged in and registered or you won't see it..

Most of what people post here (minus the the newer BETA of VB) have been answered in the previous 10 pages. Multiple links have been posted for games, mulitple times the same question has been re-answered over and over. Reading back, solves most of it, that and the little search button just rocks!

I keep trying to set permissions, but when I go to the edit page, that is when I get the
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3163.
It happens all the games I have installed at this time, which is only the 5 that came in this pack.
I click to make the game active, but when I go back to check it, it shows it is still at no.

My server info...

Server Type Linux
Web Server Apache
PHP 4.4.2
MySQL Version 4.0.27-standard

If error in "/includes/*" then double check to make sure you've uploaded the files to that folder (also could be corrupted, delete and reupload the file(s)).

What do you mean by "click to make the game active" ?

Can you tell us how you are installing the games?

[aacircle]

Anyone know which template to edit in order to place a banner just above the copyright notice down near the footer?

[melefire]

can anyone fix my problem??

[aacircle]

What is your problem? Your arcade is switched off. You need to turn it on from the admin console.

[aacircle]

Once a user has beatne another users high score, an automated email is sent. Where would I go to change this email as the content is slightly wrong. The bottom of the message reads:

{size=1}Note: This is an automated message. However, you may send Billy a message by clicking on the "Reply" button below.{/size}

Note however the [size=1] tags show. This is exactly how it shows in the message. Note, in my VB options I do not allow the size tag to be used.

Why is this even in this post? Try using the search option.

Try searching for that problem or it sounds like someone else has admin on your forums and is messing around with it.
