Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)

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.

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)

Yes I am using the latest version of arcade (v3_arcade_for_vbulletin_2_0_3A_(vb4)).

I have had no problems installing any other mod/theme etc.

As of yet there is no security mods employed.

But I did try the other arcade (ibProArcade2.7.2+) that installed and ran OK, i just do not like this version. I installed this after deleting all of the v3_arcade version.

The product file could be corrupt, trying using the one in the attachment I've posted and see if it installs using that.

Seems to be problems with some games, try following the steps in this thread - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46930

I've come across this error myself lately and had to go back and install the games in smaller batches until I found the game causing the error. I then downloaded and imported that game manually and everything was fine again.

Hello -

I need a little troubleshooting help.

When I look at my "Pending Challenges" section, the challenges I have already played are still there. When clicking the link, I get this messge: "Our records show that you've already played your part in this challenge before. Only one score can be submitted per challenge."

Do you know where I can look for the problem or where I can fix it?

Thanks!

Has the other player played their part of the challenge?

[doubleclick]

Yes, they have, and the score of the challenge is displayed at the top of the "Recent Challenges" block.

When the other person tries to challenge me again, she gets "You've already challenged doubleclick to a game of Bloots.

Can you only challenge someone to a game once, or is a record not being updated?

[doubleclick]

I just checked the tables, and both the winnerid and loserid fields for the challenges still showning up were 0

I deleted the challenge records, and will keep an eye out for this happening again. I hope it was just a random fluke.

no.. it does not help... in a game someone have (ex.) 1000 in score and is the first place, but other user has 2000 and its the second place :/
I did the maintenance tools but it does not work :/

Are the games set as high or low scoring? To check, go to

AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Manage Games and select any game where this problem occurs. Click to edit and scroll down to Use Reverse Scoring - Reverses the scores, so that the lowest numerical value is the highest score (YES/NO).

If it is set to YES then all the scores are set to lowest score wins. If this is the case then, this should fix your problem - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/show...04&postcount=2

I want to rid myself of ibProArcade for vBulletin and go to V3 arcade for vBulletin?

What exactly must I do?
Where do I get games for V3 Arcade?
