[]MeNaCe said: when i added a game there are no highscore stats this is used [] INSERT INTO `w3t_games` VALUES ('YetiP', 7, 'Yeti-PENTATHLON', 'Now it's time for Yeti to show his skills in all 5 parts', 'yetitoursm', '500', '400', 'yetitoursm.gif', 29,,)"; [/] [/]
because I am not mistaken the internal name given to Yeti Pentathlon is yetitoursm not YetiP

Eeeeesh....well first, I want to thank the author(s) for a great mod!
My members are toying with it on a daily basis. Now, I'm attempting to get some different games installed and I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to do this.
I am attempting to install the games via the Arcade Administration (as I'm running v1.6) and I don't understand some of the fields.
Title of game - Yea I managed to figure this one out. Name of the File's excluding the extensions (.swf, 1.gif, 2.gif). This is the internal name given to the game in the swf file. - Okay, I'm lost on this one... Height of the Play Window - Don't know what to set this to. Width of the Play Window - Don't know what to set this to. Description of the Game that will appear in the game menu - Yea, I got this one figured out too. File Location of the game swf file - Yea, figured this one out... File Location of the game image file (use the largest file) - Yup, figured this one out too....
Name of the File's excluding the extensions (.swf, 1.gif, 2.gif). This is the internal name given to the game in the swf file: ** if the image names are frogger.gif then you only put frogger
I set the height and with of the Play Window to 400x400. it useally works good enough
thats just me though. if you dont like the higth and with you can go into the sql tables and adjust them there (phpmyadmin)
I don't know what exactly happened, but something went wrong when I tried to install for the first time. My browser sat for more than an hour with nothing coming back. Anyway, I lost my browser session and thought I could try to continue with the install.
If I try to run instarcade.php again, it says that it's already installed and there's nothing to do.
If I try to run it with action=new, I get the following:
Code
<br />Starting instalation...<br />Creating w3t_arcadesettings...<br />Inserting Data into w3t_arcadesettings...<br />Creating w3t_gamechallenges...<br />Creating w3t_gamenews...<br />Inserting Data into w3t_gamenews...<br />Creating w3t_games...<br />Inserting Data into w3t_games...<br />Creating w3t_gamesessions...<br />Altering w3t_Users...<br /><br />(my forum header here)<br /><br />We cannot proceed. <br />Script: <br />Line#: <br />SQL Error: Duplicate column name 'U_Arcadevisit'<br />SQL Error #: 1060<br />Query: ALTER TABLE `w3t_Users` ADD `U_Arcadevisit` VARCHAR(3) NOT NULL <br /><br />Please use your back button to return to the previous page.<br />
Just as an FYI, in the template arcade.tmpl, I think there's an excessive use of table widths using the $theme[tablewidth] variable, especially where there are occurrences of tables in two or more cells within the same row.
If your forum is set to use a fixed width (like mine), then the arcade section grows massively sideways.
I think the first table definition should use the $theme variable, and any subsequent table definitions within the table cells should all be at 100%.
If your forum width is already set to 100% then you won't notice this problem.
This is just a personal nitpick but is there really a need for 7 or so (identical) links to play the game on the arcade page?
1. "NEW" image 2. Game icon image 3. Game title 4. "PLAY" image 5. "No scores recorded" or "Times played: x" link 6. "Claim that Award!" or "Click here to play" link (btw, what award?) 7. "Click here to play" link in the score column.
all lead to the same place. To clean it up on my installation (v1.6), I've only made the Game icon and title to be clickable and removed all other links.
BTW, my users really dig the arcade Many thanks for the work!
<td align="right"> <object classid=.... (it's easy if you just search for string "object classid")
and change the alignment in the table cell,
<td align="center"> <object classid=....
For the status box, the table cell should already be center aligned? If it's not for you, then just find the next table cell in that same row and change the alignment.
Thats what I thought. My site is still quite new (6 months) and the games room has been a big talking point and does get a few members worked up I have changed a few member titles and they are always trying to get a new one as they get top score on a game.
all I can really say is Catshadow this is what I have in mine..
I have a directory /ubbthreads/arcade/games where the yeti_stagedive.swf is and then a ubbthreads/arcade/game_root/stagedive_data directory where the stagedive_score.swf and stagedivesnd.swf are.
see if that helps.. and yes dparvin you can do anything.. in the showflat you will need to add a query for the users that will pull from the arcade table and then use that query to output a flashing sign of what that user has tops in.. sounds hard but is actually easier then it sounds.. but it will add to the time it takes to pull up showflat
Please I need more help... I have a directory /ubbthreads/arcade/games where the yeti_stagedive.swf is and then a ubbthreads/arcade/games/stagedive_data directory where the stagedive_score.swf and stagedivesnd.swf are.
And....
The logo picture is loaded... The nearest line of load count is working and loaded full, but top (first and maybe sound) line of load not working. So game not started. I our URL position of browser i can see this line "javascript:count_ivw('stagedive')". I don`t know why? ___________________________________________________________
Thank`s for realy interesting hack for this Arcade! It`s realy cool! It`s very useable and top popularity addon of our users and us. We will be pleasure to view a 1.8 version (tournament games) or 1.7 at least. Besides will be very nice if game rating column be present in this hack. This need for admin can delete unpopular games. And in order to a user can sorting games not only in alphabetical order, but as rating! And one more, we need admin function for deleting games and editing games (title, width, height, discription). Also editing high score comments (for example badwords), deleting this comments and hiding results of baned users.

hi guys. i see that thredsdev has v1.7 ...... can i get it somewhere? I just want to be able to organize my games just like on thredsdev, with different genre and categories and pages.... unless there is another mod or something? thanks
scroungr, any estimate on when we can expect 1.8 to be released?
Now that 6.5.1 is finally out, I'm working on setting up and configuring the test version of my guild site prior to a live upgrade, and was hoping to offer your spiffy new arcade as an option.
When I did a mas simprt of user and messages I blew away the tables that the arcade module created - so now it does not work. When I try to run the install script again it says I have the most recent version... is there any way to just run the table creation part of the script? TO restore the tables I blew away??
yeah if you look at the table creation in the upgrade script you can recreate the tables you need by running that query only in a phpMyAdmin SQL session..
[]scroungr said: Hmm seeing as I havent upgraded to 6.5.1 hope the code still works but I shall dispense 1.8 out on the 28th of Feb. Thats an ironclad date. [/]
actually.. had a few issues.. Root Canal... and a Cold.. it will be delayed about a week.. I am currently writing instructions and the installer/upgrader
