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)

It is in my root..... thats why I asked you where it went, I added to my root and it added it else where so , I see it doesn't go there, because I uploaded right to my root folder as I have the mod and other mods...

[Recon0303]

The way I have it set up is a little different , but anyways its there now but I can't add some stuff directly to my root I have to manually add certain things , because if I don't it will add a folder first then it, thats why i asked, sorry I should of been more clear.

If you want me to have a look at your setup, PM me a temporary admin account and FTP details and I'll have a look.

I've set this up on 2 forums I admin over the past few days and am noticing the same error as many when it goes to save score in Mochi games, gets the permission error, and dumped out of arcade. Standard games like Asteroids and IPB stuff I've seen no issues.

What I have come to the conclusion for at least on my end, and my installs, is that this is happening for Mac / Safari users (aka me) but when I test on my Windows laptop in IE/Firefox it works flawlessly.

Has anyone else experienced errors with Safari, and found any workarounds? Did a little net searching with no luck and found nothing to help here or at the vba support forums.

Did you go through all the process of verifying your site on Mochimedia.com; uploading the html file or using the verifying code. Enter your Publisher ID etc and upload the crossdomain.xml to your site root?

Do Mochi games score for players using Windows and IE/FF etc?

If you play Mochi games on another site with v3 Arcade or on Mochimedia do the scores submit using your Mac/Safari set up?

I've no real experience of using Mac's and I'm no longer running v3 Arcade so you might be better off trying to contact the developer on vBAdvanced.com or on here.

But being honest, production, development and support has stopped since it moved to vbAdvanced

Did you make your admincp/games folder writeable? And did you enter the correct url into the settings page on Mochi under the Auto Post Settings?

Also, you've not renamed your admincp to something else have you?
