[DOWNLOAD] Converter (from v3arcade to ibProArcade)

Anybody who has v3arcade running on his site and wants to migrate to ibProArcade... Here is the solution


This will automatically convert your installed games and, if you want to, even all the scores from v3arcade to ibProArcade.
The converter is designed to be used on a fresh ibProArcade-installation as you will lose all installed games and scores in your ibProArcade.


The Converter is compatible to:

• vBulletin 3.5.x / 3.6.x
• ibProArcade v2.5.9+ and later
• v3arcade 1.0.6 (for vBulletin 3.5.x)
  usage with <1.0.6 are untested yet, please let me know if/how this works

Just follow those steps to migrate:

1) don't touch your v3arcade-installation yet, just close the arcade
2) download ibProArcade and install it
3) upload the attached converter to your forum's root-directory and run it

That's all, the converter is interactive and will tell you what to do ect.


Don't forget to remove the converter.php after everything is done !


The converter will let you choose if you want to remove v3arcade after conversion or not.

After you successfully converted, feel free to click UNINSTALL for v3arcade


Note to the sceptics
If you want to take a look on ibProArcade first while not losing your v3arcade, make sure you rename your /arcade.php to /v3arcade.php before you install ibProArcade. Then, after conversion is done, do not remove v3arcade at this time and test ibProArcade.
If you feel comfortable with it, remove v3arcade later via vBulletin's Product-Manager or (and that is what I point you to) run the converter again, it will provide a link for uninstallation on the first page and then guide you through the complete uninstallation (will even tell you which files and folders to remove, which the Product-uninstaller does not!). Remember to remove the renamed /v3arcade.php too
If you dislike ibProArcade, please let me know the reason and uninstall ibProArcade via the Product-Manager, then rename your /v3arcade.php to /arcade.php and you can use your v3arcade again.



If you find any bugs, if you have any improvements, ideas ect. please let me know

ok, i'm kinda stuck. i just upgraded VB from 3.5 to 3.6 and then installed IPB from v3. Games can play just fine but scores are not being recorded. Ideas or suggestions? it's exiting and going back to the arcade title page but nothing is being shown (except the game counter for number of times played goes up),

you have some portal installed ?

please open a thread for your problem in the support-forum ...

Looks like a smooth conversion.

Converted using Converter from V3 1.06 to OBPro 2.5.6+ - So far no issues...will post if any come up.


Looks like I might have to do something to make it work with vbplaza correctly. Almost the 100% smooth there...almost...hehe

Edit - Found the problem and fixed it. I still had the V3 stuff installed for vbplaza/bux. Removed those and the plugin, and installed the IBPro addon for VBPlaza/Bux and all is well.

Hope this helps someone else in the future.

Pure genius. No idea why i ever stayed with V3. MrZeroPage is a legend.

I am having issues with step 2.. Moving the scores.. I know I have a lot of sessions to move due to a lot of games, but I was looking in the database and I see LOTS of sessions with the score of 0.. Would it help to remove these? I know there is an option to remove all 0 scores in the admincp for v3arcade, but I really dont think its doing anything other that keeping it from being seen in the highscores templates.. If I should remove these from the database, what would the query be?

DELETE FROM `arcade_sessions` WHERE `score` = 0
???????

Is that safe?

The error I get when performing step 2 is

Welcome to the ibProArcade-Converter v1.0
=========================================
Converting SCORES

Please wait...
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in *websitepath*\includes\class_core.php on line 363

So I am guessing its just too much.. Is there somewhere I can increase that time out period??

Any suggestions.. I see the results of step 1, and I am very excited to finish this off.... PLEASE HELP!!!

[MrZeropage]

Ok seems you really have too much scores.

Remove all with zero value ...

This converter (and the arcade of course) are just great stuff.
Thanks!
