Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade - Professional vBulletin Gaming (vB4)

v3 Arcade is now a member of the vBadvanced family!

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47571

The support forums & data from v3Arcade.com have been merged into the vBadvanced.com site.



=================================
v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4.x.x
For vBulletin 3.x.x, please see here.
=================================

Please note... until v3Arcade.com is upgraded to vBulletin 4, some demo sites can be found here. Also, because of styling changes introduced in vB 4.0.8 to allow customized user profile pages, this version requires 4.0.8+ to be installed.

"v3 Arcade" is the premiere arcade system written specifically for vBulletin. It's coded from scratch - not a port of an older version - and because it was coded specifically for vBulletin it uses the product system for code modifications & utilizes AJAX technology throughout. Here's a brief rundown of the features in this version of v3 Arcade.

v3 Arcade for vBulletin 4 also has some feature differences versus v3 Arcade for vBulletin 3. Currently that list includes....

• The separate Arcade navbar has been replaced with the options being moved up to the standard vB navbar. Be sure to turn on the navbar link! (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade General Settings => Navbar Link Position)
• When viewing a game categories other than the 'All' category, the category name will now be included in the navbar breadcrumbs.
• Added a new template "v3arcade_postbit_userid_trophy_wrapper" to allow adding some HTML around the arcade award images in the postbit.
• The category tabs shown on the main page will use the vB styling instead of their own defined styles. As we go forward the vB4 version of v3A will lose more & more of it's custom styling and instead use more of the new vB4 styling features elements.
• New option to display a "New" game category tab that will display all games in newest to oldest order. In addition to the new tab a "New Games" link will also be shown in the vB "What's New" navbar link. (ACP => v3 Arcade => v3 Arcade Settings => v3 Arcade Homepage Settings => Display "New" Category Tab)

What type of game (IPB, v3A, Mochi)? Any errors during the install screens?

Did you check the steps here (mentioned in Gemma's thread)?

http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3407

[SBKTR]

I'm sorry KW not to be ugly.. did you not read my thread?

In the thread above I said the following:

Ok, I guess they have stopped helping with this mod, I can't get answers anywhere.

First, I have read thru every page here at least 5 times. I have tried everything here at least 5 times. I have reloaded the entire thing, I have checked all the templates. I have checked Gemma's thread/posts/help posts more than a dozen times and gone thru it.

Here is my problem.

I have VB 4.1.0

The games that came with the installation work fine, save fine and save the high score... no problems.

I had a time trying to download games and went thru the white pages, games not downloading and all that.. got that fixed.

Now I can download games (I do not use Mochi and don't plan on using Mochi, so please no tips for that) from http://www.ibpdownloads.com they now install fine and they play fine, they just do not show a score. When the games I downloaded are over, some says submit score and others do doing and sit there. The ones that have submit score, when you click it.. it takes a moment then as well just sits and does nothing, does not save score.

I do use cmps but the arcade is installed on my main site www.mysite.net//public_html/arcade My main site is set to go to www.mysite.net when you click the link.

So I don't understand why the original 5 games store high scores and the downloaded games do not.

HELP is appreciated and I do appreciate all the help so far, but it's FRUSTRATING when you can't get these mods to work right.

Thanks

As far as the other.. I have addressed that as well. I've sent emails, done everything. My emails go unanswered.

[SBKTR]

From V3arcade, I signed up, same name as here, I got the activation email it didn't work, I tried all three things.. the two clickable links, and the activation code.

I had it resent 2 or 3 more times and tried again.. same thing.

I sent at least 2 or 3 emails to the email at "contact us" saying the problem I was having and the error I was getting.

NOTHING.

I just did it again.. had my pass sent to my email.

Nothing comes.. and I wait again.

[KW802]

SBKTR, yes, I did read your entire post and directed you to the likely answer already. If you are using vB4 Suite and you are using vBa CMPS in the same folder as vB (eg: in your root /public_html folder) then your IPB game scores will not be saved unless you do the edit I linked to.

For the email, I am not seeing any "SBKTR" accounts over at v3Arcade.com and there is nothing recent in my inbox for the Contact Us form (double checked my spam folder in case). I am finding a "SKTR" account (no "B" in the name) though. If that is your account, make sure you check your Yahoo spam folder to make sure the email is not ending up there. Alternatively, if that is your account, send me a PM here with the email address you used for that account and I'll manually verify the account over there.

Those edits don't worked as I have said. I have tried them and retried them. When I checked that folder for the edit it was already there ABOVE where you said to put it.. not below. So I added it below and tried.. no saved scores. I went back in and took it off the top and only left it on the bottom.. no saved scores. So I went back in again and left it the way it originally was.

The only scores that save are with the 5 games that came WITH the installation.

In Gemma's thread the only thing I couldn't find, was the short name thing she was referring to... but I also didn't manually add the games, I uploaded them. I couldn't find any ini.php file to check for her solution, I don't know what file folder that is in. It would be really helpful if when someone says check your so and so file.. that you tell us what folder/s that file is in? Otherwise I have no clue where to look.

php.ini is a configuration file on your server. Usually in the uppermost directory. However, I don't actually see her mentioning php.ini anywhere in that thread.

[SBKTR]

She mentions it in one of her help files.. trust me, I went thru these posts with a fine tooth comb.... still not saving score on loaded games

Which help file, exactly? Maybe I can see what you missed.
