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.

When I follow the instructions for the postbit legacy, it doesnt work right in 3.6. Any clues?

Hi,

just to clear this out - it is not Zero Tolerance developing ibProArcade, but me, MrZeropage

No problem you don't like my modification (although it now is working well), but please notice that I do give support for this project here on vbulletin.org, this ibProArcade for vBulletin is a spinoff from the ibProArcade for IPB and finally is completely different today, just for vBulletin, just here on vbulletin.org

Any ideas?

I have this errors with some games too, but i find where was the problem.
Download 7zip, extract the tar and tar it with 7zip again. Then u can import the games without any problems.

fresh install on vb3.6.0, works great! thank you

very slick interface, i like!


I noticed v3arcade.com is turned off for the most part, where can I get more games?

I found an ancient thread,
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ade+more+games

Will those old games work? I don't want to mess it up.

There might be some posts in here about this but 42 pages long... umm.. yeah, maybe someone can update the first post with a link to more games? THX!

Edit: Saw the post above, looks like this site (http://www.gaming-heaven.com/) is commercial..

Damn, sorry for that. >.<
Sometimes I'm mixing names up...

Question about v3arcade: Why does the gameid field starts at 96 instead of 1 when installing v3arcade with the default games? It isn't too much of a problem, just pointing you on it.

[TranceCan]

I hope someone can suggest a solution for my problem.

I installed v3arcade, and my forums are run on SSL pages. I modified the "codebase" tag to use https for the plugin (so I don't get any security warnings)....however...when I play a game it gets to the end and the game just sort of hangs instead of submitting the score. It does this for each of the default 5 games.

If I load the page using http:// instead...it works just fine.

There MUST be some incredibly tiny fix that would solve this problem...does anyone have any suggestions??

[certvn]

I want add game manual. Please update code

Thanks

[MrZeropage]

@Zidane007nl:
geen probleem


@TraceCan:
Games normally submit their score to arcade.php or index.php (depending on gametype) so I think this is somehow "hardcoded" in the games itself.
Maybe you try some htaccess-rewrite-rules to solve this for you ? (just an idea)
