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.

[GrabAssGirl]

My final time to post this question, then I am giving up...

Here is a repost from pg 17 and from pg 13...

Can ANYONE help me? If not, I guess I'll have to pass on this arcade.

REPOST:
Pg 17 post: WOW, this thread moves fast.... I made a post on PG 13 and was wondeirng if anyone could answer it for me. I added the arcade to the site and it's not working. But, the error I'm getting isn't what everyone else is getting. I have no clue where to even begin to fix this problem...

Pg 13 post:

Please help! I am an amature when it comes to this kind of thing. Could someone give me a starting point on how to fix this error:

Warning: main(./arcade/functions/functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /arcade.php on line 88

Warning: main(./arcade/functions/functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /arcade.php on line 88

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './arcade/functions/functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/tblough/domains/xuniverse.org/public_html/forums/arcade.php on line 88

TIA!!

Good, thats a step in the right direction.

I guess I'll go import a dump of my database and see how things go.

When you need a tester for that new import/upgrade script please let me know

I think the biggest problem is lack of documentation.. but I was so tired trying to get the release out that I missed a lot of things. I'll cover everything in a lot more detail in the next release.

That for the IBPRO no?

You could have at least provided a proper upgrade script to get their databases preped for the new installer. or an upgrade script that took care of this all together.

For your product file you should do a check and report back that the database is not yet ready for the install s it contains old data, instead of just running querys all wildly at them. Then we have a failed product import, etc.

Agreed, Zachery can you help and help the members here that are having problems with arcade?
