[DOWNLOAD] Converter (from v3arcade to ibProArcade)

Anybody who has v3arcade running on his site and wants to migrate to ibProArcade... Here is the solution


This will automatically convert your installed games and, if you want to, even all the scores from v3arcade to ibProArcade.
The converter is designed to be used on a fresh ibProArcade-installation as you will lose all installed games and scores in your ibProArcade.


The Converter is compatible to:

• vBulletin 3.5.x / 3.6.x
• ibProArcade v2.5.9+ and later
• v3arcade 1.0.6 (for vBulletin 3.5.x)
  usage with <1.0.6 are untested yet, please let me know if/how this works

Just follow those steps to migrate:

1) don't touch your v3arcade-installation yet, just close the arcade
2) download ibProArcade and install it
3) upload the attached converter to your forum's root-directory and run it

That's all, the converter is interactive and will tell you what to do ect.


Don't forget to remove the converter.php after everything is done !


The converter will let you choose if you want to remove v3arcade after conversion or not.

After you successfully converted, feel free to click UNINSTALL for v3arcade


Note to the sceptics
If you want to take a look on ibProArcade first while not losing your v3arcade, make sure you rename your /arcade.php to /v3arcade.php before you install ibProArcade. Then, after conversion is done, do not remove v3arcade at this time and test ibProArcade.
If you feel comfortable with it, remove v3arcade later via vBulletin's Product-Manager or (and that is what I point you to) run the converter again, it will provide a link for uninstallation on the first page and then guide you through the complete uninstallation (will even tell you which files and folders to remove, which the Product-uninstaller does not!). Remember to remove the renamed /v3arcade.php too
If you dislike ibProArcade, please let me know the reason and uninstall ibProArcade via the Product-Manager, then rename your /v3arcade.php to /arcade.php and you can use your v3arcade again.



If you find any bugs, if you have any improvements, ideas ect. please let me know

Well, this really is not supported, I surely could do a converter, but this takes time (which I have few) and I think there are not enough people still using v3arcade for vBulletin 3.0.x

Think about a fresh install of ibProArcade after upgrading to vBulletin 3.6.x

The converter does work on the 1.0.7 of v3 arcade. Thanks alot for the script.

Awesome, thanks for this.

Not much to do:
move all .swf-Files from /games to /arcade
move all .gif-Files from /images/arcade to /arcade/images

That's all

This notice doesn't appear if you choose to not import the old scores. Thanks again.

The arcade option in my admin cp has disappeared :S

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1046/admincpzz1.jpg is my admin cp and there is no category called Arcade (there was before I followed the instructions to uninstall v3arcade)

http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/4908/productsey7.jpg proves that I have the product installed.

I can still play on the arcade ok but I cannot administer it (I have re-imported it numerous occasions, and it still doesn't appear.
