[DOWNLOAD] Converter (from v3arcade to ibProArcade)

Anybody who has v3arcade running on his site and wants to migrate to ibProArcade... Here is the solution


This will automatically convert your installed games and, if you want to, even all the scores from v3arcade to ibProArcade.
The converter is designed to be used on a fresh ibProArcade-installation as you will lose all installed games and scores in your ibProArcade.


The Converter is compatible to:

• vBulletin 3.5.x / 3.6.x
• ibProArcade v2.5.9+ and later
• v3arcade 1.0.6 (for vBulletin 3.5.x)
  usage with <1.0.6 are untested yet, please let me know if/how this works

Just follow those steps to migrate:

1) don't touch your v3arcade-installation yet, just close the arcade
2) download ibProArcade and install it
3) upload the attached converter to your forum's root-directory and run it

That's all, the converter is interactive and will tell you what to do ect.


Don't forget to remove the converter.php after everything is done !


The converter will let you choose if you want to remove v3arcade after conversion or not.

After you successfully converted, feel free to click UNINSTALL for v3arcade


Note to the sceptics
If you want to take a look on ibProArcade first while not losing your v3arcade, make sure you rename your /arcade.php to /v3arcade.php before you install ibProArcade. Then, after conversion is done, do not remove v3arcade at this time and test ibProArcade.
If you feel comfortable with it, remove v3arcade later via vBulletin's Product-Manager or (and that is what I point you to) run the converter again, it will provide a link for uninstallation on the first page and then guide you through the complete uninstallation (will even tell you which files and folders to remove, which the Product-uninstaller does not!). Remember to remove the renamed /v3arcade.php too
If you dislike ibProArcade, please let me know the reason and uninstall ibProArcade via the Product-Manager, then rename your /v3arcade.php to /arcade.php and you can use your v3arcade again.



If you find any bugs, if you have any improvements, ideas ect. please let me know

I was lucky enough to be one of MrZero's test bunnies on this. As usual, excellent work.

Today I made the change to Ibproarcade. Out with the old, in with the new.

I used the converter to bring over all the scores from V3 arcade, but there is one problem. It brought over every score ever set, even though I only want members highest scores to show. I have the ACP set to "only save users top score", and that seems to be working just fine now, but how do I go back and update the leaderboards to delete every score except the highest for each user? I have ran all of the updates in score tools, and none of them had an effect.

I dont have too many users so I could just go through and prune each users scores individually, but if there is an easier way to do this, please do tell.

Thanks!

@altdelete47:
Thanks for using ibProArcade
That is a thing I thought of to integrate in AdminCP for next v2.5.7+: prune all lower scores of a user per game if setting is changed to "save only users top score", or just provide a function in "Score Tools" for that.
By now there is no option to do that automatically, sorry.

thank you for such a fabulous mod, and the great converter - worked wonrderfully to do the conversion, and the removal of v3 - everything was very clear and easy to do! I was so thrillede to be able to include the old games and old high scores so easily.
wonderful job!

It worked, but the other Games that come with Ibpro .. like Pacman etc are missing, even though they were their before i did the Conversion.
