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.

Ok I have the setting to only allow one score per user enabled and it was working fine. But now it is showing multiple sores for users when they tie their previous score. Any fix for this so it only shows one score per user?

Please don't past a link that doesn't work or have games, or tell me to look somewhere else! I've looked everywhere - including ibPro Arcade and just can't find any that save scores in V3 107.

The games from V3 Arcade work fine so there are some that work .....

Come on you game hoarders ... give some away - they are free aren't they?

That's why I have switch to IbProArcade.
I have paid for V3arcade and after months of waiting there isn't news comming out.
You can easy switch to IbProarcade because there is a converter to do that.
I know there is (or maybe was) a discussion what the best arcade is (or was) for Vbulletin.
But no support and no new games and new (update) version isn't good.
My members love the IbProArcade and they have not complain about the switch from V3 Arcade to IbProArcade

I tried it but couldn't get high scores to work .... so opted back to V3 ......

I've been waiting for a couple of day to be given access to vbulletingames.com but seems they aren't interested - can understand why people aren't interested in them - go a big "Donate to us" but won't give you access ... you know where thier heart is eh!!

Might try ibPro again and see if I cant get it working .... trouble is I run vbadvanced and having run the forum a while before installing vbadvanced have the forum index renamed to forum.php and the vbadvanced index as index.php in the same directory ..... I think ibpro is trying to access the index file and not the forum.php file for the high scores ... not sure ...

I do have a heap of V3 games from the original site somewhere on disk here ... ran them on a phpnuke site years ago ... now where the @#$#@ did I put them ....

anyway .... I'll have another go
