Hello KW802

You have a PM

Oh and I have licence too. Can I test Beta version?

[benFF]

Just upgraded from 1.0.7 - and whilst it looks like everything is ok, there is a problem with the scoring.

Ever game you play, it tells you that you got the highest score, even when the score table to the right clearly shows you didn't! (This table isn't updated - so the real high score stays intact) but it does say you beat 100% of all previous scores!

vb3.8.4

Tried rebuilding scores, no dice ...

benFF, are you using MySQLi? A change was done to take care of a different problem with MySQLi but it resulted in a new bug. It will be fixed in 2.0.0 shortly.

[benFF]

Ta very much - I am indeed using msi.

If I send a challenge to someone if they try to accept it tells them that "Our records show that you've already played your part in this challenge before. Only one score can be submitted per challenge."

So whats going on?

Thanks in advance!

Haven't seen that one reported before. What version of v3A are you using (so I can try to duplicate it)? 1.1.1?

[dieselpowered]

Yes I am using 1.1.1 with vb 3.8.4. Thanks for your help!

Ok I was able to duplicate...here is how I re-created.

User one, challenges user two. Challenge goes through and is allowed completion. (game was chopper challenge)

User two, challenges user one. User two is able to play their part, however, user one receives the message when attempting to accept challenge of: (game was again chopper challenge)

"Our records show that you've already played your part in this challenge before. Only one score can be submitted per challenge."

[Exsert]

Hey i installed it fine, no problems.

But I'm having problems adding games?

Are there any tutorials on how to add them

How are you Kevin? Hope things are going well for you. Anyway, I was just making sure this mod is still up and kicking. I am looking to possibly switch over from IPBproArcade.


Thanks,
Curt

Honestly... this weekend I've been battling a killer migraine. Just typing this response on the laptop keyboard results in a twinge above my right eye on each key press.

But v3Arcade is going along well. If you're thinking of switching from IPB, I'd say wait until 2.0.0 since Brian has just finished working on an updated converter. The new 2.0.0 converter takes into accounts the tournaments. So far a few volunteers have stepped forward to have their IPB sites switched over to the latest beta of v3A 2.0.0 using the updated converter and the response so have been positive.
