Suggestions for future Versions

This is a list of feature that are going to be in future development:

[Xphusion]

drop down selection

IE say iv uploaded 400 games but i do not want to "install them all" at one time

so a drop down box would be nice and within the drop down you would have numbers

IE 10 ,20,30,40,50 etc when u make a selection
IE say i select 30 this will auto select 30 games to install

that way it wont cause too much server load and you can select the amount of games you wish to install at a time

I think it's unfair that your score is posted in tournaments
if your opponent hasn't played yet

Suggestion: Hide your Score until your Opponent plays his/her turn

Because, there are games (like poker/casino games) where you can submit your score whenever you want, so knowing your opponent score it's unfair

That is an excellent idea dude!

Heres my suggestion: (if not already suggested)

Game Challenges, not a Tournament, but Challenge...
I have seen this on other IPB Arcades and is a fun way to play.

The idea of the challenge is much like a tournament, but doesn't require a set ammount of players to start.

The Challenge will be set to a certain game, like a tournament, and then all the players of the arcade can play, the challenge can be set to a specified time limit before it ends, IE: 7 days to play, 30 days to play etc.

Each player will be allowed a certain number of tries during this time period, say a total of 10 trys within the set time frame to try and reach the best score possible. (it should be up the the challenge creator to decide how many trys each player gets)

At the end of the time frame the player with the best score wins.... and is rewarded points.

Basiclly the Challenge does not require a set number of players to begin, and does not have a set numbers of days to play before being disqualified and allows anyone to play.

Its basiclly an open Tournament, but seeing as it is different from the Tournament is should be called something different, so I thought Game Challenge would be nice.

Examples:

Good idea @Ev!L ErN!E.
Sounds like fun.

Thank you for such a great addon for vb

There's just ONE suggestion I'd like to make that I feel is actually most important.

This mod should use the same vb style coding i.e. all validated XHTML should be in templates and NOT in php files.

That is the only thing I wish for.

vBulletin should make the user's post count a reflection of the their historical post count, including all posts that have been deleted, not a reflection of how many of their posts remain in the database. I keep my forum pruned keep only threads with replies within the past three months so this is constantly affecting users post counts, making the post counts almost useless as an indicator of how much a person has posted. This mod solves this problem though. Thank you.

This thread is for suggestions to updates of ibProArcade.

I'd love this as well

And, of course, keep it to where you can still choose which skin you want for the arcade. Even where imported skins can be chosen in the skin chooser.
