** Common Problems **
*********************************

Non-english letters are not working properly

This is a problem with flash player and has been in there bug tracker for a long time. The workaround is to edit the "gameroom" template, remove the line that ways "wmode='transparent'", the downside it your popup menus will come up behind the flash box, rather then in front of it.

Images are working in IE, but not in Firefox

You likely have some form of image hot linking turned on, it is causing the requests for the images to be blocked.

Locked self out of admin panel

In the tools folder there is a file called 'makemeadmin.php', upload this and go to that page. It will make you admin, don't leave it on your server when you are done.

Updated and it is acting funny

Make sure all of your files are up to date. When you update ensure that all files are overwritten. Having mix matched files will cause funny behaviour. You may also have to clear your cache and reload the page after uploading a new gameroom.swf file.

^^^Make sure you check these trouble-shooting methods if you have problems after installing. AWESOME MOD! Nominated.

I want my gameroom credits to be my vbcredits.

How do I do that?

In Gameroom, I went to admin/Settings/General/Cash Type

Cash Type: Column in the user table which is used for cash in betting games

^^^I'm lost.

You need to know what field name (in the database) that vbcredits uses. You can ask in the vbcredits thread, I'm sure they know... our you can use something like phpmyadmin and open your USER table in the vBulletin Database and look for the column (field) name... it might simply be "vbcredits" or it could be something else...

Where is my USER table in the vBulletin Database?

[BirdOPrey5]

in phpMyAdmin you click on your vbulletin databse, then you scroll down to your table... if you have a table prefix it's called whatever your prefix is _user. such as:
myprefix_user
Otherwise if you have no prefix it's just called:
user

Click on it and it will be browse-able... scroll the window to the side to find the column name for "vbcredits" it should be toward the end (the right) of the table.

Thanks bro but I figured it out by adding gameroom_cash in Currency Manager and activating Transaction Manager in vBulletin so that it automatically adds money earned from the Gameroom to vBcredits. It's automatically disabled when you install vbcredits because it's only supposed to be used for small sites.

Does your poker table allow tournaments?

works with everything so far up to 4.0.8

Can someone provide more details about the pro version? I know it has 2 player battleship but what else? is the appearance any different? I actually liked the appearance of the old casino mod in comparison. I think the games should be visible instead of having to click "add games" before you even see them..

I am also wondering about Andrew's youtube mod.. not the one that allows youtube in posts but the you tube database mod listed on his site.. I am not sure because his site is 3.6.8.... I haven't seen that version in awhile..

Thanks,
Rich
