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)

Yeah they don't answer over there, I can't even register, nothing works and no one will answer email or anything!

Ok, I guess they have stopped helping with this mod, I can't get answers anywhere.

First, I have read thru every page here at least 5 times. I have tried everything here at least 5 times. I have reloaded the entire thing, I have checked all the templates. I have checked Gemma's thread/posts/help posts more than a dozen times and gone thru it.

Here is my problem.

I have VB 4.1.0

The games that came with the installation work fine, save fine and save the high score... no problems.

I had a time trying to download games and went thru the white pages, games not downloading and all that.. got that fixed.

Now I can download games (I do not use Mochi and don't plan on using Mochi, so please no tips for that) from http://www.ibpdownloads.com they now install fine and they play fine, they just do not show a score. When the games I downloaded are over, some says submit score and others do doing and sit there. The ones that have submit score, when you click it.. it takes a moment then as well just sits and does nothing, does not save score.

I do use cmps but the arcade is installed on my main site www.mysite.net//public_html/arcade My main site is set to go to www.mysite.net when you click the link.

So I don't understand why the original 5 games store high scores and the downloaded games do not.

HELP is appreciated and I do appreciate all the help so far, but it's FRUSTRATING when you can't get these mods to work right.

Thanks

Are you getting an error trying to register or some other problem? We are using vB Stop Forum Spam for registrations but there are no other limitations that would block a new registration.
