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)

So, anyone have a collection of games yet? I have several hundred but they are out of date. Would it be wrong for members to trade games they have with other members?

I just need games, ever how I can get them

Have you set up an account at MochiMedia? Once set up, there is thousands of games to install via your AdminCP at a few clicks of the mouse button.

Also all iBProArcade v32 converted games will run on the arcade - a simple google search should provide a list of sites

Hey KW802, very nice mod and thanks for all your hard work.

I was having two issues. I lost my .tar files, so I am manuually uloading and adding them using the V3Arcade CP.

- The game posts as it should and I can play it, but the images are missing (even though they are the proper folder) .

- When I try to post a score (from the manually added games), I get a "Security token is missing" error.

My ibproArcade stopped saving games. I tried several fixes and they did not work. It worked during vb4.07 but not after I upgraded to vb4.08.

Will v3 Arcade save games?

How the hell do you earn money from this?

Thanks, but I have tried that. Then then I get this...

The file(s) uploaded were too large to process.

Do you know if modsecurity is enabled on your server?

looks very promising, it's on the list of stuff I will look into. Sadly, that list of tagged items might be about 20 deep but it will get my look and try.

Good job.
