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)

Where are the categories and games stored? I can't find where this info is being pulled from. Could it be in a DB somewhere? If so, what are the files so I can have them removed.

I want to start clean with this arcade.

Thanks

Where are the categories from - a previous v3arcade installation or IPB installation?

They were originally from IPB install but then I followed the install directions to install v3arcade. I am guessing they are in the same place being that I am seeing them in v3 and IPB files were removed and it was uninstalled.

Thanks for your time.

I really don't know what you're trying to do, are these categories from a previous install (IPB or v3 Arcade) or is it the default categories that are installed with v3 Arcade that you want to remove?

The categories for v3 Arcade can be found by going through AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Game Categories

The database table is v3arcade_categories.

You can also check which games are in a specific category by going to AdminCP > v3 Arcade > Manage Games and selecting a category from the dropdown menu.

I've not used IPB arcade for years so i couldn't tell you off the top of my head what the database table is for games categories using that.

I am sorry for not being clear. I am not good at this stuff.

I have a ton of games from when I had IBP. I originally wanted to go to v3 and keep all the existing games and scores. My server crashed and I lost all the game files. I need to get rid of the games that are showing up in my v3arcade being that there is no game files for it to reference.

I know I can hide categories, etc. Also, can delete each game, one by one. I would like to get ride of all of them at once.

If not, I guess I will just have to delete each one.

Sorry again.

Doesn't uninstalling v3 Arcade remove the database tables? Then re-install the product to start over again?

If you run this set of queries via phpyAdmin it will empty all your database table contents but keep the tables

TRUNCATE `v3arcade_categories`;
TRUNCATE `v3arcade_challenges`;
TRUNCATE `v3arcade_favorites`;
TRUNCATE `v3arcade_games`;
TRUNCATE `v3arcade_news`;
TRUNCATE `v3arcade_ratings`;
TRUNCATE `v3arcade_sessions`;
TRUNCATE `v3arcade_tournamentplayers`;
TRUNCATE `v3arcade_tournaments`;

Or running this should delete them altogether allowing you to re-import the product

DROP TABLE `v3arcade_categories`, `v3arcade_challenges`, `v3arcade_favorites`, `v3arcade_games`, `v3arcade_news`, `v3arcade_ratings`, `v3arcade_sessions`, `v3arcade_tournamentplayers`, `v3arcade_tournaments`;

I am so sorry. I had uninstalled it but did not actually delete all the uploaded files. I did that and now I have a fresh arcade.

Now I just need to get some games...

Thank you for being patient with me.
