Uploading games/ Mass Install · **Released**: 07-06-2006

I installed, worked perfectly.. THANK YOU!

One problem

I feel like and idiot asking this question but... I uploaded a ton of tar's to the tar directory. I went to go do a mass install (figured I could, should have looked first) but umm nothing comes up for importing. I can add a game manually I guess but that would be too time consuming. Is there a way to do a mass install?

I am attaching a pic for you too see what I see.

Thank you in advance for your help!

The .TAR-Archives are converted Games for ibProArcade ?
They come along in the format game_gamename.tar ?

Yes I have uploaded all the tars to the tar directory via ftp. I assumed I could then go into my admincp and find a way to install but I just don't see how. As you can see from the screenshot, I can upload each manually, but that is it. Or.. I am obviously missing something.

I think the filename-format is not correct - where did you get the TAR-Archives from ?

Please provide a Screenshot from your FTP-Directory /arcade/tar

I have no idea what a tar-archive even is. That is just what it says in the admincp. This is the screen of my ftp.

Actually, those could be wrong file-formats. You might have to either:

1) Unzip the files so they are in the .tar format
2) Upload those original files to your "zip" folder
3) Find new ways to download, they could be botched files

I use www.ibpdownloads.com. Excellent. Only 10 bucks a month for a whole lotta games.

Good luck mate

Please take a look on your files... they are

game_gamename_tar.zip

.TAR is a file-extension like .zip .rar ect.

You uploaded some .zip-Files and so the Arcade can not detect any .tar-file!

Where did you get those files ?!

Try to rename one game:
game_chainreactionJS_tar.zip ==> game_chainreactionJS.tar

Then check if the game can be imported via AdminCP, if so, just rename all the files ...

Yeah where did you get those files?
