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)

why?

Firstly, did you make the edit to the index.php file which has been posted here on numerous occasions?

Also, when you install vB4.2 it automatically sets the What's New activity stream to your default page, you need to change that.

AdminCP > Settings > Navigation Manager >

Find 'Home' tab and in the 'edit' dropdown select Set Default and save the settings.

Should all work after that.

There is a SQLi vulnerability in the tournaments area, developer of this modification can Private Message me for more information. Had to un-install the modification.

Should all be restored and working now

I've made some posts about this a couple of pages back, you may need to edit your index.php file if you are running either vBulletin CMS or vBAdvanced CMPS and/or you may also need to set 'Forum' to default in the Navigation Manager instead of 'What's New'

Search back over the last 3 or 4 pages and you should find the answers you need

Been browsing online to find VBSEO Rewrite rules for vb3arcade and so far I ended up with this

'^arcade\.php$' => 'aviation-arcade/'
'^arcade\.php\?categoryid=0$' => 'arcade/category/random/'
'^arcade\.php\?categoryid=-1$' => 'arcade/category/all/'
'^arcade\.php\?categoryid=(\d+)$' => 'arcade/category/$1/'
'^arcade\.php\?do=play&gameid=(\d+)$' => 'arcade/game-$1/'
'^arcade\.php\?do=scores&gameid=(\d+)$' => 'arcade/game-$1/scores/"

Now is there anything I can add to that rule, so that I can show the game title instead of game-(whatever number is it)?

This was asked a few times over on the vBSEO forums and they said the core arcade files would need modified to support the rewrites.

Sadly, I don't think it was taken any further. Maybe someone on here has an idea of how to achieve this.

Hello -
I'm having some issues with the tournament system, which used to work fine.

If someone creates a tournament, The invitations are sent via pm as usual. the tournament shows up with the correct number of tiers, but with only the person who created the tournament shows. The other slots all say Empty Slot.

I just downloaded the new files and re-imported, allowing overwrite, thinking this was part of the latest vb upgrade issues, but it had no effect.

They don't automatically get entered into the tournament, they just get a PM inviting them to join - the PM link re-directs to the tournament page. They still have to sign up on the tournament page or the tournament awaiting players page - the only person automatically enetered into the tournament will be the tournament creator if they so choose to be included.
