I think this is a nice addition to the Arcade Pass. I'm gonna set it so Registered Users "Can Free Arcade". Then, I'll set up a promotion scheme so that after one week they move into a "Registered Plus" group where the Arcade Pass system will kick in. They'll be hooked by then and will be forced to post in order to play...

cool one

It seems to be working fine on 3.0.1. Nice one!

There are two

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

Do we replace one or both?

It's the one in the part that defines the new points value after getting a valid position...

After:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Change

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

Do you mean that you get that after you hit the Submit button in the AdminCP page usergroup.php?

I haven't ever seen an SQL error in that format, so I'm stumped at the moment.

[idslamyou]

That is correct. I forgot to copy the complete error. Here it is again:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

[idslamyou]

I figured the above problem, for got to add some lines in the init.php. It was working fine for a few weeks and now I am getting errors when a user trys to submit a score.

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE user) SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+135.73 WHERE userid='1'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ') SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+135.73 WHERE userid='1'' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

Can someone help me to figure this out?
