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.

Supports MochiAds, v3 Arcade and IBPArcade games!
  • Download THOUSANDS of *legal* free and premium games directly from Mochi Media to your v3 Arcade installation. Earn money from people playing games on your site! With just a few mouse clicks you download games directly from within your ACP or from the Mochi Media web site. You have to check it out it to see just how easy it is.
  • Tournaments! Challenge your friends to see who the champ is!
  • Integrated arcade statistics on your user's profile pages!
  • 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
  • A slick, professional layout.
  • Edit-free template updates!
  • User ability to specify viewing resolution while playing games.
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)
=================================
Branding Free
=================================
All v3 Arcade installations carry and require a small "v3 Arcade" logo in the footer, as well as the text "Powered by v3 Arcade" which links to http:www.v3arcade.com. For information on legally removing the branding, please visit www.v3arcade.com.

There's mine, and there's also Stangger5's site, Next-Level Arcade, which also runs both.

You have to take one of them aand change all instances of /arcade/, arcade.php etc to something else.
In my case I took ibproarcade and did that, so for example my main arcade file is now ibproarcade.php.

The files clash, the databases do not.

It's quite a task and not for the faint hearted.

You then find that ibpro games won't run on v3arcade due to the way ibpro uses index.php. However I remember stangger5 once saying he'd got round this, but I don't know how. I didn't pay much attention to the problem since when you have both arcades running, being able to interchange the games isn't really an issue.

I can confirm that when running both together Mochi games work on v3arcade as well, as I've recently implemented that.

My arcades (to prove it works):
v3Arcade
ibProArcade

Modify /forums/index.php
What type of games aren't submitting scores - IBP, v3a or Mochi?

Ah, yes. Thank you for reminding about Stangger5's site, I forgot he was running both.

... at least as of v3A 2.0.0 & above. As part of the the 2.0.0 rewrite the table names were renamed to be prefixed along with a bunch of other items so that a lot of the v3A elements were more uniquely named.

Well, thanks for the info. It looks as though I'm going to have to choose between either one or the other as I don't fancy trying to modify too much as I might mess it up!

I read of this before, but I have to say I was running both arcades on vB3.x for many years and as far as I can remember, I never encountered any database clashes, it was always just the files and folders.

Feel free to take any aspects of the design, you will probably be able to code it better than me (if you saw how I'd got the rows of boxes on v3arcade it'd make you cry...with laughter!)

Hi, nice arcade

I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else:
For basically any other game I import besides the stock ones that came with this download, the high scores doesn't work. What I mean by this is: I get the score, and then it gives me a permissions error, and the score doesn't save.

Any fixes for this? Thanks.

Can't really say without more information. What type of games - IBP, Mochi or v3a?

This thread might help you out for pointers - http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3602

Sorry :P The games are Mochi.

I would love some links to some IBP or v3a games in addition, if you have any good links

You should just import games that 'Leaderboard Enabled' in the Import Game menu. All of them can save the score.

Did you set up your Mochi account properly (verify, upload crossdomain.xml etc)? - http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1934

Also, if you have an adblocker installed on your browser the scores won't be passed to the leaderboard - http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3325
