could not access game table error message

I am getting this message "could not access game table" after every game. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Can anyone help me?

make sure you CHMOD the /arcade directory and all its subfolders to 0777

Yes, the 1st time I played the games (other than Space Invaders, it has never worked)
Yes
Not on my host, if 0777 stuff breaks, MUST be 0755
What Index Edit? Maybe that is what I am missing... The install Instructions don't say anything about editing any index, the only edits are a few template edits.

I got this error on Vbulletin 3.7.2
Anyone know of a solution?

I have CHMOD the /arcade directory and all its subfolders to 0777

[Hippy]

Just tested those games and I get the same error
but the added games I don't get that message..

any of you have any other games installed besides the default ones ?

and as someeone stated the score still saves on those..

the edit Dragonsys
is

If you are using vbAdvanced Portal and your /index.php is not the original one from vBulletin,
you have to edit your alternate index.php:

open index.php

At the very beginning of the File, right after:
----------------------------------------------------------
<?php
----------------------------------------------------------

you have to insert:
----------------------------------------------------------
// ibProArcade
if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames")
{
	require_once('./global.php');

	switch($_POST['func'])
	{
		case "storeScore":
		$_GET['act'] = "Arcade";
		$_GET['module'] = "arcade";
		$_GET['do'] = "pnFStoreScore";
		break;

		case "saveGame":
		$_GET['do'] = "pnFSaveGame";
		break;

		case "loadGame":
		$_GET['do'] = "pnFLoadGame";
		break;

		case "loadGameScores":
		$gid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'gid', TYPE_INT);
		$uid= $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
		$game = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games_scores WHERE mid=$uid AND gid = $gid ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 0,1");
		$scores = $game[score];

		if($scores != false)
		{
			//Return true
			print "&opSuccess=true&gameScores=$scores&endvar=1"; //send endvar to keep opSuccess separate from all other output from PostNuke
		}
		else
		{
			print "&opSuccess=false&error=Error&endvar=1";
		}
		break;
	}
}

$act = $_GET[act];
$autocom = $_GET[autocom];
$showuser= $_GET[showuser];
if($act == "Arcade" || $autocom=="arcade") {
include "arcade.php";
exit();
}
if(!empty($showuser) && $showuser >= 1) {
$u = $showuser;
$_GET[u] = $showuser;
include "member.php";
exit();
}

// end of ibProArcade
----------------------------------------------------------


Otherwise your scores won't be recorded :)

I only have the games installed.
Thanks for the edit, but...

If you are using vbAdvanced Portal and your /index.php is not the original one from vBulletin,

My index.php is the original vbulletin one.

again.

People been having problems since vb starting using the forum.php

the index.php is still there as well but its kind of like a redirect..

unless in your admincp you have index set in the option> Forums Home Page Options
(This option allows you to set the script name of the page that acts as your forum home page. By default this will be 'forum' (meaning forum.php but you may want to call it whatever else you like for your own purposes.

If you change this value you must manually rename the forumhome PHP script to match the new value.)

admincp > arcade > information youll see this notice
Notice:
Your forum's mainpage is forum.php - please make sure to adapt your /index.php otherwise scores won't be recorded!
You will find detailed instructions in the ibProArcade-archive: INFO - vbadvanced or other Portal.txt

I will try the index edit posted above, but I ask, how was I supposed to know about this edit when it is not in the install procedure document? I would not have looked in any kind of portal related info, since I do not use a portal.

[Hippy]

you need to test other games then..
Like I said before ..those games I get the same error but any other the ones I install don't .

the edit above it for the score not saving ..
if your score is saving then that will do nothing for you.
and this edit is in the install procedure document.

I use abvanced and I have no issues, never had to use this edit .
I have a test board that is using forum.php and I had to do the edit to save score , unless I change Forums Home Page Options

But my dir's are 777... you stated your dir's are 755, I am guessing this is your problem

[geebee]

Has there ultimately even been a resolution to this? Just installed 2.7.0 and I am getting this message after my game. The only two tested thus far have been Snake and Asteroids.

the /arcade folder is set to 777 and i have tried the forum.php suggestion with no success..

Check to see if you even have a table named _games in your database. If not, you may need to re-import the product.
