v3 Arcade
for vBulletin 3.6.1
=================================

"v3 Arcade" is the third Arcade system I've written for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch, not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin 3.6 it uses the product system for code modifications, and utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

- Supports both v3 Arcade and iB games.
- Download *legal* free, premium and multiplayer games directly from v3arcade.com to your Arcade installation.
- Import script to convert your old v3 Arcade installation. (A script to import games, scores and news from old IBPro installations is available here, thanks to Tigga: http:www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=324)
- AJAX based instant ratings, for simple to use game ratings.
- AJAX based inline score moderation.
- AJAX based instant game searching.
- Tabbed, customizable categories.
- Challenge system for one-on-one contests.
- User-permission based settings for email/PM notification, challenge settings.
- Streamlined viewing modes for users with lower resolutions.
- AJAX based quick stats, for viewing statistics by passing the cursor over a username.
- Mass import tools for importing games in bulk.
- Reverse and decimal based scoring.
- Arcade-only closure with customizable message.
- Per game criteria, allows you to control access to games by reputation, posts, registration length.
- Postbit based awards.
- Personalized recommendations for other games users might like, based on what they?re playing.
- Quick stats, letting a user know how many other scores are above and below theirs.
- Score ranking.
- Admin customizable ?score feedback?, displays a message based on how well as user has done.
- Numerous Admin CP settings to control things like popup opacity, maximum comment length, hover delay length, and numerous other behaviors.
- Full admin control over the types of content allowed in comments (BB code, HTML, smilies, etc.)
- Usergroup based access permissions.
- Fully phrased, for each translation into other languages.
- An ever growing collection of third party add-ons, thanks to Oblivion Knight.
- A slick, professional layout.

[sickboy6ths]

Hi,

I got this error with certain games that I try to import (IBPro games):
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \admincp\arcadeadmin.php on line 728.

They work in ibpro as a charm.

Vbulletin 3.5.0

Thanks for any help!

[Paul M]

A few additions that would be nice;

• Ability to disable categories.
• Usergroup settings for minimum posts/reputation etc
• Pruning of scores over a certain age (preferably automatic).
• Ability to import zipped v3 games (similar to importing tar games).

weve installed the v3 product-v3arcade.xml as a new product with no errors. however looking at the database there doesnt seem to be any new tables appended with arcade ... in fact theres no reference to arcade in any of the table names



when i click unistall the product i get :



Database error in vBulletin 3.5.0 Release Candidate 2:



Invalid SQL:

ALTER TABLE arcade_games DROP isreverse;



MySQL Error : Table 'mydatabase.arcade_games' doesn't exist

Error Number : 1146



anyone any ideas ?

[Paul M]

Upgrade to 3.5.1 would probably be the first suggestion - you still seem to be on RC2.

I have same problem with VB 3.5.1 :ermm:

[Dutchmang]

This worked great..... Now if all names are made live for challenges -- not just Forum posts but especially names appearing in the arcade, where everyone who shows up is a game player -- my life will be complete. (Ok I have no life :ermm: )

All notification events are on and PM set for method...

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '505';

(Method = email)

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '501';

(Method = both)

UPDATE `user` SET `arcadeoptions` = '509';

A lot of us had this problem. The XML doesn't seem to be adding the necessary tables sometimes.

If you have access to phpmyadmin on your server you can add the tables manually
