how can i fix this error? please help me

[Darkwaltz4]

That appears to be an error from v3 Arcade, judging from the language group it is trying to access, plus arcadetourmnt.php is not a file added by vBArcade.

What were you doing when you got that error? Sounds like you still have a link to that file somewhere on your site, but because you have uninstalled v3 Arcade, that orphaned file has no supporting resources to access, so you get that. Find the lingering links and remove them, and delete that arcadetourmnt.php.

[shuuk]

i delete arcadetourmnt.php and works now.
i use auto. database backup everyday and i received a info email with these error

thank you

I cannot install games, I get memory error messages and I am on a dedicated box. ???

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9376073 bytes) in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/forums/dbtech/vbarcade/functions_arcade.php on line 126

[Darkwaltz4]

You seem to be trying to untar a particularly large game file (looks like 8MB and you have a memory limit of 32M). Does it work with other games you have (smaller ones!)?

Not a whole lot can be done about it because its not an optimization issue, short of increasing your memory limit.

[Andyrew]

Thanks, I increased the limit and it installed loads of games in the import folder. :up:

Any advice on what to do to make it save scores, I get a security token error.

[Darkwaltz4]

I am almost ready with an update to vbarcade for hopefully this weekend, that includes the handful of reported bugs that have been patched, optional vbcredits integration support, and even some ie7 fixes for the layout (which incidentally will make it easier for vb3 porting)

this is one of the reasons why I wont be using it

Wow, this actually boils down to a typo! In (forum)/(admincp)/arcade_admin.php find:

PHP Code:

TYPE_ARRAY_NOTHML 


and replace with

PHP Code:

TYPE_ARRAY_NOHTML

Do you have an .htaccess file in your forum root? Did you get any installation errors when you imported the vbarcade product xml? Do any games work with scoring?

Yes I have a .htaccess file, no errors when importing product, no games save score. Also after playing a game for the first time all other games come up with this when I go to play them.

You appear to be playing a game;
starting this might forfeit that session.
