Now, ibProArcade was originally meant for another points hack, which was pretty much hard coded into the script, and is still there. So, basically you have to remove all of that code and replace it with the new vBCredits code.




I have two options for you:

• I have the set of ibProArcade files pre-edited for you (used with permission)
• I have provided the instructions for editing your own arcade files (if you have other addons you dont want to undo by overwritting the originals)

In either case - you still have to follow all directions in the instructions! The above is only step #3!

Support for this addon will NOT be here, but instead at this thread:
http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67
I will post announcements and updates here though regarding it. There is also a v3 Arcade version with the same features.

(note: until vBCredits 1.4 final is available, the settings for this addon may appear in a "blank" settings group)

Click here for screenshots and support for this addon

The edited files are only step 3 of the installation / upgrade process! You still need to download and follow all instructions in the main zip!

i looked through the 2.6.7 files and it should be alright, if you find a problem let me know.

[Darkwaltz4]

i have posted the pre-edited files for use with ibproarcade 2.6.7a+

Is there anyway to have a "visual" arcade pass. Like an arcade pass icon and/or data that appears by the pm message info at the top of the screen to let you know you still have a pass.

For example you could have a green icon when you have the pass and red or greyed out icon show when the arcade pass expires with a link to purchase a new one.

Any pointers on the template variables related to the arcade passes would be appreciated.

[Darkwaltz4]

in the arcade there should be a message saying when the active pass expires. you can play around with this in the arcade/modules/mod_arcade.php file

PHP Code:

$the_links = '<span class="smallfont"><b>' . ( $vbulletin->userinfo['credits_ibp_pass'] > TIMENOW ? construct_phrase($GLOBALS['vbphrase']['credits_ibp_passexpires'], vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'] . ', ' . $vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $vbulletin->userinfo['credits_ibp_pass']), $GLOBALS['vbphrase']['credits']) : construct_phrase($GLOBALS['vbphrase']['credits_ibp_buypass'], vb_number_format($vbulletin->userinfo['creditperms']['credit_ibp_passcost'], $vbulletin->options['credits_decimals']), $GLOBALS['vbphrase']['credits'], $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']) ) . '</b></span><br />' . $the_links;

Thanks!

How can i get the code to work in the navbar template?

[Darkwaltz4]

well, put the code in the parse_templates plugin, and use $the_links in the navbar template.

you will have to alter that code a little to fit better, but thats the basics

When a usergroup is excluded from using vBCredits, it doesn't affect the arcade use.

If there is a charge to play the game, they must pay it and if they get a high score, they are awarded the jackpot.

Is there a way to remove the requirement for credits to play the arcade if they are excluded from using the credits system?

If not, this would be a good idea for a future release.

[Darkwaltz4]

hmm you have a point there, must have gotten forgotten.

this should do the trick:

in plugins/credits_ibproarcade_plugins.php find:

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $game['cost'] AND ($vbulletin->userinfo['credits_ibp_pass'] <= TIMENOW OR $_GET['pay'])) 


replace with

PHP Code:

   if (!($vbulletin->bf_ugp['creditpermissions']['credit_locked'] & $vbulletin->userinfo['creditperms']['creditpermissions']) AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $game['cost'] AND ($vbulletin->userinfo['credits_ibp_pass'] <= TIMENOW OR $_GET['pay'])) 


and in forum/arcade.php find

PHP Code:

     if ($vbulletin->userinfo['credits_canearn'] AND $ctr <= $vbulletin->options['credits_ibp_minrank'] AND $lboard['score'] == $player_score AND $vbulletin->userinfo['credits_ibp_paid']) 


replace with

PHP Code:

     if (!($vbulletin->bf_ugp['creditpermissions']['credit_locked'] & $vbulletin->userinfo['creditperms']['creditpermissions']) AND $vbulletin->userinfo['credits_canearn'] AND $ctr <= $vbulletin->options['credits_ibp_minrank'] AND $lboard['score'] == $player_score AND $vbulletin->userinfo['credits_ibp_paid']) 


note this doesnt affect tournaments

Thanks for the quick reply!

That worked great!
