I'm assuming that you have the arcade installed already and just need instructions on how to install games.

Or do you need further instruction on installing the arcade also?

no i allready have ibProArcade installed i just need to upload some more games to it.

Ok, nice and easy then

Your games will either be in tar or zip format.

Upload these to the appropriate directory arcade/tar/ or arcade/zip/ depending on the file extension. Do not unpack these files.

Once the files have finished uploading go to your admincp > Arcade > Add New Game.

Scroll down this page until you find the list of games that you have just uploaded.

At the end of the list there is a link that says install all games. Click that and wait.

It can take a while depending on the number of games that you have uploaded for installation and your connection speed, so just be patient until it finishes.

Once it has finished, delete the tar or zip files again from your server.

Your games will be installed and ready for use. The only thing that you need to do is sort them into categories if you use them.

Log into the FTP for your site and locate the directory that your forums are in. There you will see a folder called arcade (after admincp in the list). Enter this folder and there you will find the tar and zip folders.

Also, make sure that the entire arcade directory is CHmod to 777

is this the right place sorry i no i sound dumb .
like to find tar and zip folders

[peterska2]

No, that is in your admin control panel.

You need to log into your server via FTP like you did when you were first installing vBulletin.

Once you have logged into your server via FTP then you need to locate the folder that contains your forums. In this folder you will find your arcade folder.

If you have access to it, then no. Otherwise yes.
