v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4) · **Released**: 11-04-2010

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.

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)

I dumped all the old games I had that were in .rar format and now have 300 V3 games that are in the .zip format. I put them in the FORUMROOT/admincp/games folder but when I try to import them I get message saying "There are no more games to import".

So, can anyone help?

KW802 · #53 11-07-2010, 08:49 PM

@GaryT: Two major questions.... are you putting the zip files in that folder or the unzipped files? (See Gemma's post a few post back for game installation steps). The other thing is how old those files. The .php file should be a really small file with just a few variables in it; if it looks like the .php file that was posted earlier that was an actual install script then you'll have issues just like you would have with the .rar files.

Robbed · #54 11-07-2010, 09:44 PM

Thanks, import went well.

Replace it with

<vb:if condition="$show['avatar']">

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

						</vb:if>
					</div>
				</vb:if>

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

that worked great. 175 was the magic number.

Recommend putting that in configuration in next version

Doctor Death · #56 11-07-2010, 09:59 PM

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

Quote:

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?

Try editing your php.ini file settings to something like

max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

Or, if you don't have access to your php.ini file, temporarily up your limits by editing your includes/config.php file and add this lines right under the <?php line:

ini_set('memory_limit', 128 * 1024 * 1024);

You may need to change the 128 to 256 or 512

See if that helps

That worked perfectly with the number 512.

I have to say how great it is to get advice from someone who has a clue.

Thanks, great work.

Open the .xml file and manually add the templates to your skin.
Just look for the template name and copy everything between the [CDATA] tags.

Then create a new PHP widget and paste this:

Couple of notes:
1st... This isn't my code...
2nd... I commented out the BB_Code parse for the "news" since I don't know the global call for the do_parse command.
3rd... I did some edits to the templates to make mine fit nicely on the side.

I would like to get this widget working, but the instructions arent that clear.

Can you elaborate about the XML file what to do with it?

Thanks

Yep that's it. The ,PHP file has basically the same content as the other .PHP file I posted.

Doctor Death you need to go through the xml file you downloaded from v3arcade and extract all the templates below

adv_portal_as_recent_gametable
adv_portal_as_played_gametable
adv_portal_as_popular_gametable
adv_portal_as_champbits
adv_portal_as_champstable
adv_portal_as_random
adv_portal_as_newsbits
adv_portal_as_newstable
adv_portal_as_scorebits
adv_portal_as_scoretable
adv_portal_arcadestats

The information you want for each template is between the [CDATA[ brackets

For example the adv_portal_arcadestats template would be extracted from the xml file by searching for the template

Code:

<adv_portal_arcadestats><![CDATA[<div>

<table align="center" width="100%">
  <tr><td colspan="3">{vb:raw as_score_table}</td></tr>
  <tr><td colspan="3">{vb:raw as_news_table}</td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3">
      <table width = "100%">
        <tr>
          <td valign="top" width="60%">{vb:raw as_random_table}</td>
          <td>&nbsp;</td>
          <td valign="top">{vb:raw as_champs_table}</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3">
      <table width = "100%">
        <tr>
          <td valign="top">{vb:raw as_recent_table}</td>
          <td>&nbsp;</td>
          <td valign="top">{vb:raw as_played_table}</td>
          <td>&nbsp;</td>
          <td valign="top">{vb:raw as_popular_table}</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

</div>]]></adv_portal_arcadestats>

Taking away the <template name> and CDATA opening and closing brackets it would look like this

Code:

<div>

<table align="center" width="100%">

You would do that for all the templates I listed at the beginning, you would then go to you AdminCP>Style Manager and add each of the new templates, keeping the same template names as before

Then go to you AdminCP>vBulletinCMS>Widget Manager and make a new widget ie 'Arcade Stats' and copy the following code

Code:

global $vbulletin, $bbcode, $parser, $path, $db;
$g_limit = 5;
$g_champs_limit = 5;
$g_news_limit = 5;
$g_scores_limit = 5;

function get_games ($as_handle, $as_title, $limit) {
    global $vbulletin;

    switch ($as_handle) {
        case 'recent':
            $orderby = "dateadded DESC";
            break;
        case 'played':

    }

Save it, then go to AdminCP>vBulletinCMS>Layout Manager and add your new widget.

You can see the result on my site http://www.forumbanter.com

It took about 10 minutes. I still need to go back and edit the templates to make them fall in line with the changes introduced in vb4.0.8

If you have any problems let me know and I'll post up each individual template over on v3arcade.com but I'm off to bed now.
