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)

I've just upgraded from 4.1.3 to 4.1.10 and none of the game icons/descriptions are loading on the arcade page. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm on version 2.0.3, is there a newer version?

Upgrading your forum software shouldn't have any effect on the arcade as the only file that may need to be edited is your index.php file

2.0.3A - the one available here is the latest version.

That post was something about IPB importing.

I need the edit code for the index file for CMS so that my scores will submit. What I said was, include that in the file that comes with the download of the arcade. Add the code to the readme file. Now, I cannot upgrade my forum to 4.1.10 because v3arcade site is down and I cant get to the code to do the edit on the index file. If that code was on the readme file I would be good to go.

found it. It was post 469

[Gemma]

And the post I linked you to was????

I agree the instructions do need changed but there is nothing I can do about that - at least you found the edit in the end

Okay I have an issue with our test forum running the files just fine, however our primary forums are having two issues with the ipb games i installed. one of the games gives a blank screen on score save, the other doesn't load, it stalls.
Blank screen on score save
Working
Fails to load

I don't understand all it is, is a copied folder. I have done extensive research, added the compat file above the content.php line in index.php. CHmodded a ton of folders and still no luck. The shortnames are also correct.

Should all be fixed now

Yes it is Gemma thanks, you are the best just so everyone else know it was

An .htaccess file on the server that was for another arcade, it was pointing the game loads to a different location. I guess the original admin moved some things around.
