Same here. When you clicked expand the border of box expanded but the game stayed normal sized. Sorry I forgot to get a screenshot.

I have a problem

# Place this code into the top of http://*my url of my forum*.htaccess so certain games can process scores, then try importing again:

i dont get it, what i need to do?

Could you load the v2.0.2 XML file again, But edit the product file from dbtech_vbarcade_game_flash template replace

<style type="text/css">object.flash, embed.flash { width: $game[width]px; height: $game[height]px; }</style>

With

<style type="text/css">object.flash, embed.flash { width: 100%; height: 100%; }</style>

I try this and its working for me

I am using this on my 4.2.2 site... everything is working well.

Question: I downloaded a bunch of games, used FTP to the import folder to install them.

After they are installed... do I have to leave the files in the import folder or can I delete them?

Also, any know where I could find a particular game? My users are asking for "Dope Wars".

Tried searching via google but can't seem to find any source for it.

Thanks

D.

Anyone know why this is showing as "Updated" when it's still v2.0.2?

[ozzy47]

Because there was a security patch which did not require a updated version number. If you have not installed the latest files You should do so now.

Hello I just imported my v3arcade games and Mochi games into DBTech Arcade plugin that I have just installed. I am aware Mochi site is dead and I had to download as much good rated flash games as possible before the Mochi network got shutdown.

Some of my games are working fine, but I think those Mochi games doesn't work for some reason. I got this error regarding some of the Mochi games that doesn't work:-

Fatal Error: require_once() [function_require]: Failed opening required '/home/apgclan/www/dbtech/vbarcade/systems/moc.php'
(include_path=' /:usr/local/php5.3/lib/php') in /home/apgclan/www/arcade.php on line 585

When I looked in /www/dbtech/vbarcade/systems/ the moc.php appears to be missing - only the ipa.php, pba.php and v3a.php.

And I am also aware some of the flash doesnae have the forwards compatibility for newer Adobe Flash Players beyond v12. But I am more concerned on the Mochi games that I've imported from my old Arcade plugin.

I've installed all the files but when I go to the arcade tab there are no games? Do I have to install them or does it come with some and where can I get them at if so?

Did anyone ever figure out nginx rewrite rules? I'd prefer to use this mod over the other two I've tried, but without scores saving I can't.

[fred86]

Not sure if I've done this properly, but I seem to have gotten it working at least.

Added this to my existing stuff for my root location block in the .conf file for my site:

rewrite newscore\.php /arcade.php?sendscore=legacy break;
if ($query_string ~ "func=storeScore"){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /arcade.php break;
}
if ($query_string ~ "do=liveinstall"){
rewrite ^(.*)$ /$document_root/admincp/arcade_admin.php?$query_string&do=review&import=browse&system=v3a redirect;
}
}

And then added this in its own block in the same file:

location /arcade {
rewrite ^/arcade/gamedata/(.*) /dbtech/vbarcade/media/$1 break;
}
location /crossdomain {
rewrite ^/crossdomain\.xml /dbtech/vbarcade/crossdomain.xml break;
}
