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.

Supports MochiAds, v3 Arcade and IBPArcade games!

• Edit-free template updates!

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'll send you a PM about game sites.

Yes.

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

Yes. Safari seems to be the one not currently working. I swap over to my PC laptop and IE/FF work fine.

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

Not on either of my installs, I'll test that right now. I've been using Billy Bob Bash as a test since it works on my laptop, not on the Mac/Safari.. It DOES seem to save when on the MochiMedia site directly when I'm logged in with my account there.

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.

LOL Realized that when I signed up to your arcade site to test

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

Yeah after I started poking around I noticed that it's been pretty defunct. I'll keep trying to get it up for a while and if it persists to be an issue I'll either dump it or find a suitable replacement (vbArcade).. Always a shame when a dead mod is up still and you sink in the hours to later realize you might need to re-do the effort lol.

@theoutlawed

What are the contents of your crossdomain.xml file. There might be some extra rules you can add?

Also, if you want to try out Mochi games on my site to see if they submit, let me know and I'll bump your account up to full member so you can try.

[Gemma]

Anyone having problems with IPB games not saving scores, download the attachment I've added to this post, extract the file and upload the v3arcade_index_compatibility.php file to your includes folder - overwriting the existing file.

Anyone receiving this error when importing Mochi games, Fatal error: Must set URL with set_option(VURL_URL, $url) in [path]/includes/class_vurl.php open your class_vurl.php file and find:

if (empty($this->options[VURL_URL]))
        {
            trigger_error('Must set URL with set_option(VURL_URL, $url)', E_USER_ERROR);
        }

Either delete that code or comment it out and re-upload the file.

Is there a way to increase the width of Logged in as box so the user's avatar fits in it?

I'm fairly sure (haven't checked) avatars for Registered Users fit since they're 100 x 100, but all staff have 200 x 200.

I'm back to using dual arcades.

@Amaury25

Open the v3ARCADE_MAIN template and find:

<div style="float: <vb:if condition="$vboptions['fliparcade']">left<vb:else />right</vb:if>; width: 200px">

Change that to:

<div style="float: <vb:if condition="$vboptions['fliparcade']">left<vb:else />right</vb:if>; width: 250px">

Next find:

<div style="margin-<vb:if condition="$vboptions['fliparcade']">left<vb:else />right</vb:if>: 210px">

Change that to:

<div style="margin-<vb:if condition="$vboptions['fliparcade']">left<vb:else />right</vb:if>: 280px">

You might need to play about with the 250 and 280 values but that should widen the sidebar.

Also, round about post #47 there is some discussion about resizing avatars (if needed)

[trackpads]

Removed, I misunderstood the post.

235px for the first one and 250px for the second one got it perfect.
