FiMeTi, we have started the testing of v3 Arcade 2.0.0 (Alpha 3 right now) and so I will take your PM & suggestions to see what we can work into the new release.

I really like that idea of the AJAX name search of finding a user to challenge but at this point it likely won't make it for 2.0.0 but I will be keeping that one in mind for the future.

quick question is it safe to import from IPB? will it import everything?

Thanks

Not yet. The current importer was made prior to the current versions of v3 Arcade supporting IBP v32 games so those games would be a problem. IBP games yes, IPB v32 games no. We have been holding off on creating an updated importer because v3 Arcade 2.0.0 coming soon. That version (currently in testing over at v3A) introduces several new features. Once we get 2.0.0 released as a Gold version then we'll be working on an updated importer.

Kawe,

With the 1.x.x series you'll need do use a plugin. I don't recall if I posted this here at vB.org but you can grab a copy of the plugin from this thread over at v3Arcade.com.

Going forward with the 2.x.x series (in Alpha testing right now), the ability of specifying the default category will be an option in the ACP instead of having to use a plugin.

I really love this arcade, it's definitely my favorite one.

But, I did notice one odd thing with it. I have the Vbulletin Blog on my forums, and in the User CP, at the bottom, it says 'Edit Arcade Options,' but it's under a 'Blog' tab.

Have you heard of this before, or know of a way to fix it?
Thanks!

Contra Fates, it should be showing up under the "Miscellaneous" grouping in the UCP. It relies upon the "usercp_nav_complete" template hook so if you're using a custom style it may be possible that the template hook is not in the right spot. If you don't think that is the case, forward me the URL (PM here or at v3Arcade.com if you prefer to keep the URL private) and I'll take a look.

... and welcome to the v3A community.

I don't recall there being a single game upload option but you can still put the files in your /admincp/games folder and choose the Mass Import options.
