v3 Arcade
for vBulletin 3.6.1
=================================

"v3 Arcade" is the third Arcade system I've written for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch, not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin 3.6 it uses the product system for code modifications, and utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

- Supports both v3 Arcade and iB games.
- Download *legal* free, premium and multiplayer games directly from v3arcade.com to your Arcade installation.
- Import script to convert your old v3 Arcade installation. (A script to import games, scores and news from old IBPro installations is available here, thanks to Tigga: http:www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=324)
- AJAX based instant ratings, for simple to use game ratings.
- AJAX based inline score moderation.
- AJAX based instant game searching.
- Tabbed, customizable categories.
- Challenge system for one-on-one contests.
- User-permission based settings for email/PM notification, challenge settings.
- Streamlined viewing modes for users with lower resolutions.
- AJAX based quick stats, for viewing statistics by passing the cursor over a username.
- Mass import tools for importing games in bulk.
- Reverse and decimal based scoring.
- Arcade-only closure with customizable message.
- Per game criteria, allows you to control access to games by reputation, posts, registration length.
- Postbit based awards.
- Personalized recommendations for other games users might like, based on what they?re playing.
- Quick stats, letting a user know how many other scores are above and below theirs.
- Score ranking.
- Admin customizable ?score feedback?, displays a message based on how well as user has done.
- Numerous Admin CP settings to control things like popup opacity, maximum comment length, hover delay length, and numerous other behaviors.
- Full admin control over the types of content allowed in comments (BB code, HTML, smilies, etc.)
- Usergroup based access permissions.
- Fully phrased, for each translation into other languages.
- An ever growing collection of third party add-ons, thanks to Oblivion Knight.
- A slick, professional layout.

Did you try thier site for support?

http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/index.php

[cdoyle]

I can't post there, before it allows me to post it wants to verify my arcade license. To do that, it makes me open my arcade to guests. But I can't change usergroup permissions because it causes that error.

[Oddjob]

I had to revert to my original postbit template, how do i get the trophy back next to names who have a title in the arcade?

[shaynehammy]

Ok. Completely new database, latest version of VBulletin, latest version of V3Arcade. No hacks etc added so its a completely fresh database. Trying to run this installation and it doesn noit install. Well the progress bar just keeps scrolling across in import plugins.

(this is my second attempt. The latest database was modded and i thought that might be the problem. So i tried on a fresh new database with the same result)

Please, is anyone aware of this?

Thanks

PS I left this exact message on the V3 arcade forums too.

[cdoyle]

Does anyone know how I can remove these from my usergroup permissions?



if I try to change my usergroup permissions I get this.



I've tried to uninstall this hack, and it gave me an error. I tried just restoring my db from a backup, but that didn't help either.

Where do I go to remove these empty option from my usergroup permissions screen? How do I get rid of the arcade totally?

Please someone help, I've posted on here at least 6 times and the only response I have gotten was to post for help on the offical forum. But I can't post there. To post there you need to verify your arcade license, to do this you need to open your arcade up to guests. That is the problem, I can't change usergroup permissions!! So this is my only forum to ask for help on this.

GREAT Arcade! Best ever! I am highly anticipating your Multiplayer Live addon. Oh, and yes, very much worth the wait. So easy to install and operate

@ cdoyle
Did you upload the xml product file? That adds all the MySQL, templates, phrases, etc. It seems that you didn't... the name of the file is product-v3arcade.xml and you can import it via Product Manager.

[shiva]

Actually, the xml file isn't loading in the tables for some of us. It didn't with me, and I have been trying to add the tables manually to try and fix it.
Support isn't that great really, and if you try and uninstall it, you could bugger up the site. A proper un-installer would be nice, so if there was a bad upload, we could remove it completely and try again.

When I try to uninstall it, I get this error:

vBulletin 3.5.1 database error:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE usergroup DROP arcadepermissions;

MySQL error : Can't DROP 'arcadepermissions'. Check that column/key exists
