=================================
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.

Upload the attached image to your Arcade images folder.

Find in your postbit or postbit_legacy template:

Code:

<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$vboptions[arcadeimages]/trophy.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="$vbphrase[arcade_champion]" border="0" /></a>

Add the following immediately afterwards (in front of the closing if tag):

Code:

<else />
<if condition="($post['arcadeoptions'] & 1) AND $post['userid']!=$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$vboptions[arcadeimages]/challenge.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[challenge_x_in_the_arcade]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</if>

Done

Unfortunally, on my forum this doesn't show up. I'm definately using postbit (as in legacy the code doesnt show up) Im using the current version of arcade, vb, and also have vb plaza installed.

ChrisTech · #**1743** 06-05-2006, 04:48 PM

25 more games that should work with v3arcade (from my own cache of games Ive downloaded since Ive installed v3arcade).

Right Click save as <-- sfx archived this time, so you don't need winrar to open it.

Also missed this one, so just upped it alone. Kitten Cannon (its zipped)

'postbit' is the newer type way of displaying member's details horizontally across the top of their post. An example would be www.habboxforum.com.

'postbit_legacy' is the older way (hence the term legacy) where the details are vertical and to the left of the actual post, just like this forum.

It's best to alter both, like Chris does, in case you decide one day to change the layout/style of your posts.

@John: If I haven't thanked you in a previous post (116 pages now man!) then thanks for a great addition to vB. Can't wait for the site to reopen and grab the shiney new huge update you have...

Because im having a on going problem that no one can post scores without it redirecting you to the home page.

Thanks,

Reece, I feel stupid. I should have gone to your site. The reason it fails is it redirects to your portal, right? The hook to take care of the scores is not set to go work through vbAdvanced and vbAdvanced does not have any hooks in it as of v2.1.0. Try this and let us know if it works.

Note that this should only be done if your vbAdvanced portal has been renamed to index.php.

MAKE A BACKUP OF INDEX.PHP.

Open your index.php for editing.

Find this:

PHP Code:


			
print_portal_output($home);

Add the following above:

PHP Code:


			
//

// BEGIN: v3arcade addon for ibProArcade scoring compatability

//

 

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'newscore' && $_REQUEST['act'] == 'Arcade')

{

 require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_arcade.php');

 // That's right kids, datatype checking is usually a grand idea.

 $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(

 'gscore' => TYPE_UINT,

 'gname' => TYPE_STR

 ));

 

 if (!$game = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "arcade_games AS arcade_games WHERE shortname='" . addslashes($vbulletin->GPC['gname']) . "'"))

 {

  exit;

 }

 

 // Create a session record.

 $db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "arcade_sessions (gameid,gamename,userid,start,sessiontype,challengeid,score,finish) VALUES ('" . $game['gameid'] . "', '" . addslashes($vbulletin->GPC['gname']) . "','" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "', '" . TIMENOW . "', 1, 0, '" . $vbulletin->GPC['gscore'] . "', '" . TIMENOW . "')");

 

 // Fetch the ID number of the session we just inserted.

 $lastid = $db->insert_id();

 

 header('Location: arcade.php?sessdo=burn&id=' . $lastid . '&microone=' . getmicrotime());

 exit;

}

 

//

// END: v3arcade addon for ibProArcade scoring compatability

//

Save and upload index.php.

nah all you have to do is find this -

Code:

require_once('./global.php');

right below that add this -

Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumhome_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;

Note that this should only be done if your vbAdvanced portal has been renamed to index.php.

Same thing, but yours is much cleaner! Dang, I need to get a grasp on these hooks...

I uninstalled the game and removed the template changes and it still will not allow member login.....anyone got any idea what is going on. I reloaded the default style just to see if it is there, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated

Any updates on this issue?
I'm having almost the same problems, if an user tries to login using the header login form it does'nt work. They have to login in the form that appears on the center of the screen to be able to login.
Some times logged users are playing a game and PUFF!, the screens refresh to say they are visitors and they dont have the right to play...even being correctly logged in with their username displayed on the header.

Please help.

Thanks!
