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.

And I'm back! Sorry about the delay, I've been stuck without internet for the best part of a week. I've got about 200 emails to go through, then I'll get started on this thread. If anyone has any pressing issues post them again and I'll answer them first, otherwise I'll just work my way back from this post.

Also: I may have been without internet, but I got a lot done last week. Will post some screenshots later.

John i have 10 games which are .tar and they are ibpro games. How can i install them??? Inside the tars are 2 gifs 1 php and 1 swf I have read all the posts how to do it but it doesnt work!!! Can You Help me???

I kept getting a problem where unregistered users did not have permission to play games, ie:

Quote:

In order to play gamename, you need to have a reputation of at least -1 points. Your current reputation stands at points.

I fixed this on my forums by giving unregistered users a default reputation of 0 in the access check:

Approximately line 737 of arcade.php:

Change from:

PHP Code:


			
        if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==0)
        {
            $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] = 0;
        }

to:

PHP Code:


			
        if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==0)
        {
            $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] = 0;
            $vbulletin->userinfo['reputation'] = 0;
        }

PS - Support for java games would be awesome!

John · #**2346** 10-01-2006, 10:09 AM

Fixed in 1.0.8, thanks.

If anyone has any open source java games they want in the Arcade, I'd be happy to add them.

I am not getting an arcade on the left side in my admin,I am also getting this error when I try to access it -

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

and cannot fix it because it is also not in the usergroup permissions.I have refreshed,left the site,cleared cookies ect... what can I do to correct this?
I am running vb 3.6.1
Thanks in advance and a great job John just wish I could get into it to play.

How do you uninstall this? I tried using uninstall from the plugin but this is the error that I receive:

Install 1.0.7 over the top of your current installation, then uninstall. By reinstalling, it makes sure that the database changes are all correctly made - right now, you're trying to uninstall but there's a field missing.
