Suggestions for future Versions

This is a list of feature that are going to be in future development:

Not when I tried it.

MrZeropage, following needs to be looked into

1) The disqualification problem. The 7 day rule is not properly enforrced. I am giving examples.
a) Sometimes the arcade tourney gets locked when even though both the players have played the games, the winner is not advanced. In such cases we are shown a link to "make winner advance". Now if the faceoff player at next level has completed his games and was waiting for this guy, and if we advanced this person a bit late, than the original waiting person gets disqualified(if his waiting period was more than 7 days) A better option would be to reset his time when we make the winner advance as he can only play when he has an opponent. The time reset should be done everythime the faceoff player is ready and not from the time one guy becomes promoted to next level as to be fair to him he didn't have anyone to play against during that time. Yes he could have played on his own but people usually wait to see opponent before playing or before completing the game quota and in those cases(see point#2 below) he will get disqualified again cos of not completing the games in 7 days.
b) Another major problem is that in case a person has say 3/3 game tourney and two guys are playing. Suppose person-A has played all three games and person B has played only 1 out of 3 but has a higher score in that then all three combined games of A, after 7 days if B doesn't complete his rest 2 games(he has no need to) B shouldn't be disqualified. As he had more score than A even though he played one game, B should be promoted and A eliminated.

Some feature requests:

• I would also recommend that you have a cron maybe to check stalled tourneys that we can run say every day automatically that advances winners. This should take care of stalls.
  
• Also i would suggest a setting in admincp to cap the maximum tournaments that can be run at any given time. People seem to be opening a lot of tourneys without finishing the older ones.
  
• A group setting on who can take part in the tournament. (so that only active guys can)

The feature requests aren't important. But the tourney probs need a fix. People are getting a bit disillusioned by the arcade tournament's otherwise.

First off thanks for an amazing mod and all the work you put into it.

Some way to let the user challenges another user would be amazing. Where it already says what game they are playing when you hover there name in the arcade some way to challenge them on the game there playing. Would give players a lot more competition then just talking trash to each other in the high scores notes.

Also if there was some way to put the record of how many challenges won/lost in postbit/profile would improve competition too, and would drastically improve arcade activity.

If this is in it I'm unaware of it - the ability to have games only able to play in tournament mode. As in I can select an option for a game so players can't regularly play it, but they CAN create a tournament using that game.

well i ran across this thread on accident so if this has been suggested already i second it.

when i install games it kills my server or i run into bad games. recently i purchased some game packs where there are several hundred packed together and ill ftp them and walk away.

well would i would like is a feature where i can pick like maybee 20-30 games at a time and click "install these games" opposed to "install all games" at once.

Not sure if this available yet but I would like the main skin to have an option below the trophy leaders to show the best of the rest. i.e. the 4th-10th ranked trophy holders.

There is currently no way of finding out who has the fourth most trophies and so on and so on.

I want to give score to some user in ibProArcade. thnx

[regitbull]

I'd love to see Groups/Guilds/Clans/Teams, and the ability to use them in Group Tournaments and a separate Leaderboard, etc.

A Challenge system (seen this everywhere as a request, and I concur).

Prune all scores after top X scores (used for basic clean up, not the same as full pruning), OR the option to not save any score that doesn't get into the top X scores. Obviously, X is configurable.

A special "All Games" Category that shows every game from every category the user has rights to, and an intuitive change to the Game List View Filtering:

Right now when you click on "All" in the line, "All 0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z", you only see the current category's games, whereas clicking "A" will show all games that start with "A" across all categories. By having a special "All Games" Category, you can make the line, "All 0-9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z", filter the currently selected category only, be it "All Games" or "Puzzle Games", "Shooters", etc.

I'd also like to see some additions to the Game List templates:

1. Top X Highscore Champions, not just current High Score Champion, X is adjustable
2. Last Comment
3. Show the Category the game is listed in
4. Instructions/Description of game (so you don't have to pay credit to view them, or have to click on HighScores to get a description)

Add to my wish list the ability to have games appear in more than one category. Example: most holiday games would fall under multiple categories, like Holiday + Puzzle. This how "Tagging" works.

Another idea would be to implement "Rooms" (works like Categories, can be set up to allow certain usergroups access into the rooms, i.e. Premium Room, Free Play Room, etc., can't have same game in more than one room, can have separate instance of game in different rooms) and "Types" (works like Tags, i.e., games can have multiple tags, can limit usergroup access to certain tags, like Adult). I don't know if I'm explaining this correctly, but it I can think of several ways to use this.
