Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)

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)

Or I want to put the 'recent forum posts' widget somewhere on the layout.

Thanks

The "logged in as" code is in the v3ARCADE_MAIN template, search for:

<div class="collapse">
		<h3 class="blockhead">
			<a href="#top" class="collapse" id="collapse_v3_userblock"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" alt="" title="{vb:rawphrase collapse_this_category}" /></a>
			{vb:rawphrase loggedinas}
		</h3>
		<div class="blockbody v3_block" id="v3_userblock">
			<div class="blockrow" align="center">
				<div class="v3_strong">{vb:raw player.username}</div>
				<vb:if condition="$player['usertitle']">
					<div>{vb:raw player.usertitle}</div>
				</vb:if>
				<vb:if condition="$player['rank']">
					<div>{vb:raw player.rank}</div>
				</vb:if>
				<vb:if condition="$show['avatar']">
					<div>
						<vb:if condition="!$player['userid']">
							<img class="v3_gameicon" src="{vb:raw player.avatarurl}" height="75" alt="" border="0" />
						<vb:else />
							<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw bbuserinfo}}<vb:if condition="$vboptions['friendlyurl'] < 3">&amp;<vb:else />?</vb:if>tab=v3arcade_stats"><img class="v3_gameicon" src="{vb:raw player.avatarurl}" alt="" border="0" /></a>
						</vb:if>
					</div>
				</vb:if>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>

I have uninstalled IBPro and installed v3. Now when I go into it, all my old categories and game listings are there...but when you click on them it comes up blank.

Did I miss something?

How can I start from fresh? I am not worried about the old scores. I want to start with a clean v3arcade.

How do I do that?

Make sure you've removed all the IPB files including any plugins.

How do I do that? I uninstalled it and deleted the files that were uploaded originally.

If you've no reference to any IPB plugins in your AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager then you should be good to go. Install v3 Arcade as per the install instructions.

[Gemma]

Is this browser related?

Can you check and see if the games that are scoring 0 have their gamedata folders intact?
