At least for the 1.x.x series it'll be global. With work being done on the 2.x.x series, we did not want to end up in a situation where we were introducing a bunch of new options in 1.x.x while also totally rewriting mass chunks of code in 2.x.x at the same time.

I saw your post over at v3A as well (thanks for posting it there, it makes it easier for me to know what issues are on the "Open/To Do" list yet ). The decimal scores should not be behaving differently so this weekend after I get 1.1.0 packaged & posted I will go back and experiment a bit.

Hi guys.

I have a very popular game before I switched to v3arcade but the install file is a .zip

I've tried converting it to .tar but perhaps i'm being useless but v3arcade refuses to install it.

Is there a proven method of converting .zip to .tar that works with v3arcade or is there a way I can manually install the files?

Thanks

[KW802]

Zelnik, is it a v3A game or a IBP game? What method are you using to install it?

Well...

It was installed on my previous install if IBP but according to the .php it's a v3arcade game.

I've just converted a different .zip game to tar so I'm assuming the php is not compatible with this version of v3arcade.

[Biker_GA]

You shouldn't have to convert the file.

Extract the contents of the zip file. Upload the appropriate files to:

forumroot/admincp/games
forumroot/images/arcade
forumroot/games

Then use Game Tools in AdminCP to import the games.

Hi yep have tried that and it refuses to install it must be the php is not compatible

Don't suppose anyone have a mahjong connect working that could point me in the direction of?

I have copied this answer by Kevin from a post over at v3arcade.com since I couldn't bother to write it myself.

Please go into one of your usersgroups (eg: administrators) by selecting ACP => Usergroup Manager => {Administrators} Edit Usergroup and then scroll down the page a bit and you will see a new "Arcade Permissions" grouping of options. Set the options for the administrators (does not matter what, just change something with their permissions) and then hit the Update button. You should see a message like 'bitfileds rebuilt' or similar.

That should take care of the problem for you.
