Chaning the name of arcade.php!!!

Hi i want to change the name of arcade.php to ibparcade.php what should i do.

Preper for a long and difficult job.

It is possible, as I have done it HERE.

You have to search for all instances of arcade.php in the files and rename them to ibproarcade.php. Not as simple as it sounds.

If it's because you want to run v3arcade as well, you also have deal with all the /arcade/ folders.

It also makes upgrading a nightmare.

Edit: I now see from a similar post in the v3arcade thread that this is indeed what you're trying to do.

It's possible, but tricky.

Firstly, leave the v3arcade files as they are....arcade.php.

Secondly, take all ibproarcade references to arcade.php and change them to ibproarcade.php
Then rename the ibproarcade folder from "arcade" to "ibproarcade".
Then take all instances of arcade/ in the ibpro files and change them to ibproarcade. This is slow, manual process so beware.

You also have to watch your gamedata folder. This needs to be moved to the v3arcade /arcade/ folder, even though it's for ibproarcade, because the games try to reference it from there. So when you install any TAR files, you will get an error message, the game will have installed but you'll need to manually upload the gamedata files.

Finally, once this is done, games from the two arcades are not interchangeable, they have to run on the arcade they were originally converted for.

It's a LOT of effort, and frankly as the games are natively interchangeable now, there's no technical reason to do it. Unless you really know what you're doing, steer clear of this.

I have changed everything. The arcade is running fine with the new ibparcade.php file. Even the games are playing the only problem is that i cann't save the scores as when scores are being submitted the file used is arcade.php instead of ibparcade.php. Where should i change this?

You need to edit the arcade/skins/skin_Arcade.php and skin_v3Arcade.php for the games to save scores right..
Find the arcade.php link and change to ibparcade.php..

I have ibproarcade and v3arcade running together on the same forum too..
It only takes 5 min`s or less to edit everything...
I didnt move the gamedata folder..

Make sure to diable the v3arcade plugin (iB "Pro" Arcade Game Compatibility)..
That way each arcade will save there own scores..
