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.

Supports MochiAds, v3 Arcade and IBPArcade games!

• An ever growing collection of third party add-ons
• A slick, professional layout.
• Edit-free template updates!
• User ability to specify viewing resolution while playing games.

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)

Love this mod a lot better than IPB.

Make sure your forumroot/admincp/games, forumroot/images/arcade and forumroot/games are CHMOD 777

If you want to install v3arcade type games (zip format) or IPB type games (tar format) upload the said files to your admincp/games folder. Then in AdminCP>v3Arcade>Import Games>

Choose the Mass Import option that coincides with what game type you uploaded and click Start.

If you are installing games manually (already converted but not in zip or tar format), go to AdminCP>v3Arcade>Import Games>Manually Add Game and fill in the details

For example-

The .swf gets uploaded to your games folder and the two images (one 20*20px and one 50*50px) get uploaded to your images/arcade folder.

Game Title: simple enough ie Pacman
Description: blah blah blah
Game System: you would need to know what type on conversion they were made for
Shortname: pacman
Game SWF File: ie pacman.swf
Height: varies per game
Width: as above
Standard Thumbnail Image: ie pacman1.jpg
Miniature Mode Thumbnail Image : ie pacman2.jpg
Then fill in the last couple of details.

For Mochi Games read through this post (parts 6 & 7) - http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1934

Once you have set up your Mochi account, you have access to thousands of games and the install process is as easy as clicking a few buttons

Great mod.

On high score, is it possible to shrink player image to fit within column space?

Some player images are larger and ruin look.

This runs very fast and smooth. Thanks again.

Open the v3arcade_scorebit template and search for

<img src="{vb:raw score.useravatar}" align="{vb:stylevar left}" class="v3_gameicon" alt="" {vb:raw score.avdimensions}/>

Replace it with

<img src="{vb:raw score.useravatar}" align="{vb:stylevar left}" class="v3_gameicon" alt="" height="50"/>

You can change the 50 to whatever you want

Thanks for such amazingly quick response....

One more issue on import of TAR games (from IPB).

I put all the TAR files in the right place and CHMOD'd folders to 777 as specificed.

Upon import, I get this error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6268724 bytes) in /home/xxxhbabh/public_html/forums/includes/v3arcade_class_tar.php on line 150

It does this regardless of how many I try to import (1, 10 or 100).

Thoughts?

The avatar/user image under "LOGGED IN AS" is the one that is mis-sized (too large).

Would this be the code that also fixes that? I tried it and it doesnt seem to have an impact.

Thanks!

Sorry I thought you meant on the highscores list

Open v3ARCADE_Main and find

<vb:if condition="$show['avatar']">
					<div>
						<vb:if condition="!$player['userid']">
							<img class="v3_gameicon" src="{vb:raw player.avatarurl}" 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>

Replace it with

<vb:if condition="$show['avatar']">
					<div>
						<vb:if condition="!$player['userid']">
							<img class="v3_gameicon" src="{vb:raw player.avatarurl}" height="xxx" 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}" height="xxx" alt="" border="0" /></a>
						</vb:if>
					</div>
				</vb:if>

Changing the xxx (2 instances) to whatever suits your forums
