v3arcade Manually Add Game via Admin CP [Archive]

Oblivion Knight

28 Dec 2005, 21:49

This modification provides you with an additional Game Tool to manually add a game without the use of a script or import tool.. Boofo pointed out to me that before today, this was not possible and I believe it to be a rather useful tool for the more knowledgable of vBulletin and v3arcade users.

Please note that games added to the database with this modification must have already been "converted" for use with v3arcade/ibProArcade for them to work..

Upgrade Notes: [1.0.0 -> 1.0.1] (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=906818&postcount=27) -- [1.0.1 -> 1.0.2] (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=962566&postcount=46)

Compatability: 1.0.6

help me understand why this is needed. isn't games managed through the download system?

is this similiar to the way that nukearcade works? input the graphic name, the swf name, game score name, etc

help me understand why this is needed. isn't games managed through the download system?Old v3arcade games, and ibProArcade games are compatible with the new version of v3arcade.

So if you don't have the accompanying .game.php file, or .tar archive, you can use this to install those games by entering the details manually. As mentioned, it's intended use is for developers and more knowledgable of vBulletin and v3arcade users.

is this similiar to the way that nukearcade works? input the graphic name, the swf name, game score name, etcUmm.. Pretty much I guess.

It's basically all the options from the "Edit Game" page, plus the shortname, the swf name and the 2 image names. It's probably more options than you'll ever need, but it saves future upgrades just to add an option here or there.

Wow! I would love to see this integrated in the next version. Very good work!

This is what I have been looking for but It installs the game ok except when i go to play the game I get a white screen

any help would be appreciated

Oblivion Knight

01 Jan 2006, 09:36

Make sure that you've definately entered the correct information..

The Flash File field needs to include the ".swf" extension at the end of the name.

Diggazz

01 Jan 2006, 15:04

OK thanks the.swf extension I didnot include

thankyou

As I understand it, this script will allow me to import iBPro games into my new install of v3arcade. Is that correct?

Oblivion Knight

Installed

As I understand it, this script will allow me to import iBPro games into my new install of v3arcade. Is that correct?Theoretically, yes.

Although in future versions of v3arcade, installing ibProArcade games with this addon may cause some problems. I guess I should add a "system" setting to this which would take care of it..

Thanks! :)

Awesome, how would I do that? I don't see how I run the script once it's installed. Thanks in advance.

Make sure you're using 1.0.2 of v3arcade.
It is 1.0.2

Oblivion Knight

11 Jan 2006, 13:50

It is 1.0.2Then this column should exist in your arcade_games table; "minpoststhisday".

According to your error, it doesn't.

Citizen

12 Jan 2006, 12:38

Then this column should exist in your arcade_games table; "minpoststhisday".

According to your error, it doesn't.
Do you have the code to manually add the column?

I've had to manually add most of database given that there wasnt much support for people that had the 3.0.x version of v3arcade intstalled and then upgraded.

Hey, thanks to this I can install games to the arcade, unlike before. But now people cant submit their score!!! lol Can anyone help? Link: www.habbodialogue.com/arcade.php

plateau

15 Jan 2006, 05:25

It seems that in my system , there is no this phrase:

$vbphrase['use_reverse']

thus I dont know what is the : print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['use_reverse'], 'isreverse', $game['isreverse']); for? therefore dont know how to do the setting for that option.

Thanks for help!

Do you have the code to manually add the column?

I've had to manually add most of database given that there wasnt much support for people that had the 3.0.x version of v3arcade intstalled and then upgraded.Chances are, you could be missing more than just that one column.
Could you possibly take screenshots of your arcade_games table structure for me?

Hey, thanks to this I can install games to the arcade, unlike before. But now people cant submit their score!!! lol Can anyone help? Link: www.habbodialogue.com/arcade.phpIt depends on the game(s) you're trying to install.

It should be noted that the games still require to be modified to work with v3arcade in order for them to submit the score to your database.. I got a 404 when trying to visit the URL you supplied.

ok, i think i need 1.02..............mmmmmmmmmmmmmPossibly.. Have you solved this issue now? Sorry for the late reply.

When add a new games, can u make it appear at News & Events?
ThanksI'll try and release an update tonight for you..

Can anyone explain in any detail what needs to be modified to fix the score submission?

Oblivion Knight

14 Mar 2006, 09:09

The games that you add must already be modified for use with v3arcade in order for them to submit the score to your database (sorry, I took it for granted everyone would know)..

Oblivion Knight thanks so much for this add-on. After many failed attempts at trying to get John to fix a problem adding games, I was able to install this add-on and manually add them myself and it works - to bad the auto system doesn't.

Thanks again!

I am using v3arcade 1.0.5. I installed this mod and I can add games but can not edit them after installing. I have to reinstall the un-edited arcadeamin.php file to edit any on my games.

I see this mod is for v3arcade 1.0.2 only. Is that causing this problem and if so will you update to work with v3arcade 1.0.5 and 1.0.6?

Oblivion Knight

09 Apr 2006, 10:45

It states 1.0.2, however other users have tested it with newer versions and haven't reported any such problems. I'll try and find some time to look into it though..

In the meantime I suggest double checking your file edits of admincp/arcadeadmin.php

Oblivion Knight

1.0.2 is now available..

This Works Really Great, Your a Great Coder to come up with this handy Coding for vb 3.5.4 arcade help.

EDIT: I watched the .php codes for activating the submit code.
You Said That it must have been already imported for vb arcade to work.
but i looked up the php codes but i see no changes of one who is activated with v3 arcade and can submist and a game who can't submit.

Have any idea if it's even a .php file or does it lie different
