Add-On Releases - v3 Arcade Tournament

SK v3 Arcade Tournament v1.0.5

A tournament add-on for v3 Arcade v1.0.7 (by John Warwick)
Created for vBulletin v3.6. Now also tested on v3.7 and v3.8.

This add-on is not needed and doesn't work on the new v3Arcade 2.0.0. It has its own tournamnet system (based on this one).
Since this is now starting to be obsolete I've removed the Supported status. I will of course still try and help those who use it as much as I can though.

You need a modification for vbCredits that take care of payment.
The one included in the package is for vbBux/vbPlaza.

I have never used vbCredits and don't know how it works. So I am not sure if I will be able to do such a mod at the moment.

An add-on for vbCredits v1.4 has been added to the zip package in the first post.
It has only been tested briefly for v1.4. And I am pretty certain it wont work on older versions.

You can download the complete package again or download the attachment to this post for the vbCredits add-on only.

Sorry, no other news this time...

Is there any way to disable "two person tournaments", as people in my arcade are continually running .2 person tournaments instead of challenges to become the "tournament champion".. stupid, I know, but ..

Also, thank you for this mod. It's awesome.

easiest way would probably be if u want to do it right now just to remove it from the template

As msimplay says, in the template Arcade Tournament Templates -> arcadetourmnt_newtournament
Remove the line

<input name="numplayers" class="forminput" type="radio" value="2" />2 $vbphrase[skat_createnewtournament_players]<br />

I guess people could still cheat their way to create a 2 person tournament this way, but I don't think that is a problem in reality

Thank you very much. I should have thought of that honestly, but thank you nonetheless

Awesome response time too. Again, awesome modification skhms. My forumers are going nuts

this is GREAT m8.

One thing though, could you set this to work with reputation??
Like.. if you win you get + reputation and when you lose - reputation?

I will not implement that in the main product.
But I guess you could do that with an add-on like the ones for vbPlaza and vbCredits that are included.

Don't think it is something I will be able to do immediately though...

[GuaRRand]

Ok np. its working fine and people like it

Is there an addon you know of (or maybe implemented in a next version) that will put a kind of "announcements" or "scoreboard" on the mina page?

Like "4 people player Tournaments now, 2 active tournaments, 4 tournaments awaiting players"
?

[GuaRRand]

AND .. or ... could you intergrate it with VBCasino also??
