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)

v 2 0 3a on vb4.2.2

I don't run vBulletin any more so this is just off the top of my head but have you run the score maintenance tools in the AdminCP?

Also, I think I can remember seeing this issue before, it was something to do with how scores are stored in the database, a 1 means the score is valid and 0 means it is invalid for whatever reason - could be the session hasn't saved either because it timed out or 2 games windows were open at once blah blah. You might want to check your v3arcade sessions in your database and see how many 0 are in the valid column because that means all these scores haven't been recorded. You could probably do a simple query to validate them.

Sadly, no I don't think there are - the furthest I got with any rules was for vBSEO - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/show...R-and-v3arcade

You could try checking on vbadvanced.com to see if anyone else has posted anything relating to mod rewrite.

Thank you Gemma.

The scoring issue went away after I turned on multiple scores for each user. It only comes back when I activate the top score to be saved. Oh well, multiple scores are better then none.

Thanks

Yes it should do though you'll need to manually add the navigation menu - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=733

Just a word of warning though for anyone that runs Mochi Media games, this service will be discontinued at the end of March and Mochi Media will be shutting down so those games will no longer be available and won't submit scores (this will effect DBT Arcade too)

I'm not sure if anyone will make any changes to v3 Arcade to deal with this - I don't think anything has been looked at in the arcade since it was transferred over to Brian at vBAdvanced so I kinda doubt any updates will be forthcoming (but you never know)

PLEASE NOTE!!!!

I have moved to a different platform (as we all should) and all shoud have found out by now that Mochimedia.com will no longer be supported for these game downloads.


Mochi Media services end date: 3-31-2014

I just wanted to make all of you aware just in case you didn't know... sorry

True, Mochi Media is closing down but there are still 1000s of compatible IPB games available that work perfectly well (all you need to do is search Google for distribution sites)

Do those games work with this add on? I thought IBPArcade were different from IBP games

[stangger5]

IPB and IbProArcade games are the same..

[Firyou]

nvm I got it to work with the index.php file edit. Thank you so much Gemma!

[DGrey2011]

Hi guys!
Does your Arcade register scores from IBP games?

Since Mochi is closed, I tried to install some IBP games, but the scores aren't saved. When you click on Submit score, it leads to the forum home (forum.php).

Should I add some code lines in index.php for it to work?

PS: I use vBulletin 4.2.0 (simple version not the CMS) and v3Arcade 2.0.2
