Miscellaneous Hacks - Cyb - Tic-Tac-Toe

Info:
Easy integration of Tic-Tac-Toe game with vBulletin forum software.

The forum user play against the computer, and it has 4 levels of difficulty that are user-selectable. It also includes history of the game. Admin can change competitor name, select usergroups who can play the game, choose different images for X, O, and BGD.

NOTE: Images are loaded from TinyPic by default (to avoid file uploads when installing hack). If you want you can upload them to your own server and then change paths in product settings. Of course, you can use your own images too.

Thanks to:
- Brian from Dynamic Drive for original version of this javascript game
- yoyoyoyo for his vB release for vB 3.0
- Atakan KOC for his vBulletin releases for vB 3.5/3.6

This version requires no file uploads nor template edits. It's easy to show/hide the game when browsing forums. It's phrased, looks little better, and integration with vB is improved. How? See screenshots and try it out.


Installation:
1. Import XML file as Product through your Admin CP
2. OPTIONAL (If you are using some very customized styles):
Open template "FORUMHOME" and add "$cyb_tictactoe" after "$navbar". Save.
Open template "navbar" and add "$cyb_tictactoe_link" after "vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>". Save.


Note:
Default images are stored at tinypic.com (to avoid files uploads when installing hack). If you want you can upload them to your own server and then change paths in product settings. Of course, you can use your own images too (one for X, one for O, and blank one).

nice mod
i will test it

[binevi]

it looks like ok but how about on CMS as a module ?

[tab503]

any chance for multiplayer?

Super easy install. Thanks!

But, I've seen a couple of folks ask about the "Empty Field" issue and I'm having the same issue. Everything I click on says "Choose an Empty Field." Any idea what causes that or what the fix might be? I've uploaded the images to my server to insure that's not part of the issue.

What I suspected was causing the problem was that I have a second navbar. The game was showing up under the first and above the second, but appeared with the standard error.

So, I removed the second navbar and uploaded the mod as is. Unfortunately I still get the same error.

Anybody have any ideas? I'm really eager to get this working!

Thanks in advance,

Tom

I don't understand this at all. What should the <a href="???"> look like?

[PGAmerica]

Is there an answer to this?

[PGAmerica]

Is this even supported anymore?
