you need a few things when altering games to work with IBProarcade, or V3arcade.. you need the authors permission and the to read this thread

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when I set the minimum number of posts required to play to zero and "became" another member with a zero post count and I couldn't play the games. I upped their post count to one with an SQL command and then I was able to play the games.

BTW, feel free to use the new arcade.tmpl file with the table fixes I posted a few messages back in the original download. All work was done by Josh, so it's good.

hi,

i am using an own session handler for my ubb board.
now the arcades dont work correct any more.

its possible to play, but doesn`t insert the score.
in flashgames u can read "waiting for transmit score" and it never end.

the db connection must be ok, because when i start playing a game it write an insert to table gamesessions. but after the game it doesn`t do any updates of score, validate,...

anybody know this problem?

thx for help.

bye
tydu

PS: sorry for my english...

yes, i set it to sessions and build my own php session handler.
it works great on the forum.

all games are working, but as i wrote there is still the problem with saving the score.

any other idea?

thx & bye

ALL games have issues with saving score? or just IBPRO type? because ibpro was written using a session script where the stock 5 that came with this did not..

if its just ones marked as ibpro type then it could be that but if its ALL then something else is happening..

if just the ipbro type do the following..

create a file called index.php

and within it place

<?php
foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
echo "key: $key; value: $value<br />\n";
}
?>


and play a game it should run that script afterwords..

if ALL of them try turning cookie back on in threads instead of sessions and see if that works..

All I can say is it works fine for me

Since installing 1.8 I have not been able to play Yeti Sports. I have just reinstalled the game and it starts to open, but does not get as far as 'Type in your name' or (whatever it says) screen.
Anyone know why???

1) I just looked at the zip again and there is no index.php in the zip...

2) and about session handling sorry but I wrote it for cookies since most people use cookies not sessions...

3) I dont think I am writing another version for threads since threads is at end of life...

4) Cookies/Sessions are only used for ibpro type games so... basically if you can't use cookies.. and you can't use the session function that was scripted for ibpro games.. dont use ibpro games.. stick with the v3arcade type games that don't use sessions/cookies and uses $_POST. $_GET instead...

ok, thx anyway.
u are right, ubb threads is at end of life.

but 1 question i still have:
maybe i can solve the problem by my own.
i just need to know how the flashgames transmit their variables.
which file they are asking for and what are the var names?

thx

something tells me your missing a table end or something....

you sure you have


<br />
<br />
UBBTPRINT;

if($marquetext) { //UBBTREMARK
echo <<<UBBTPRINT
<table height = "20%" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td>
Current High Scores in:
<br />
</td></tr><tr><td>
<marquee width = "95%" scrollamount="2" direction="up" loop="true"><center><font class = "small"><strong>
$marquetext
</strong></font></center></marquee></td></tr></table>
UBBTPRINT;

} //UBBTREMARK
echo <<<UBBTPRINT



after

$TotalPosts
$Location

in showthreaded.tmpl?

because it shouldn't expand like that

you can also try changing

<font class = "small">

to

<font size = "1">

to save a little space also

well because you modified your showflat.tmpl the way you did.. the only thing you could try is to find

<span class="small"> {$postrow[$i]['Title']} <br />
{$postrow[$i]['Rating']} <br />
{$postrow[$i]['Picture']} <br />
{$postrow[$i]['TotalPosts']} <br />
{$postrow[$i]['Location']} </span>

and change to

<span class="small"> {$postrow[$i]['Title']} <br />
{$postrow[$i]['Rating']} <br />
{$postrow[$i]['Picture']} <br />
{$postrow[$i]['TotalPosts']} <br />
{$postrow[$i]['Location']}<br />
Current High Scores in:<br />
<marquee width = "95%" scrollamount="2" direction="up" loop="true"><center><font class = "small"><strong>
{$postrow[$i]['marquetext']}</strong></font></center></marquee></span>

if that doesn;t work you won't be able to use the optional marque section. either that or return the showflat.php back to stock version but I figure ya rather not use the marque then do that!

did you modify your showflat.tmpl any? or is it basically stock? looks like a table size issue? does it happen in ALL browsers?

To the best of my knowledge, it is stock except for this mod.

Barry thats a definite bug with IE.. It does not happen in mozilla.. and if you notice as you scroll up the page the space gets bigger and smaller.. it does happen when I pulled the code out just not as noticeable.. thats one of the reasons I detest Internet Explorer.. You have two choices.. live with it. or do what I ended up doing on my site and not put it in.. thats why its optional.. they can still see the scores in the arcade itself or under their member pages... sorry...

right where the {$postrow[$i]['Location']} is in the showflat.tmpl you will notice a <span class="small"> and a </span> is encompassing it.. try changing the span to a div

I actually meant a sig in their posts. (dont know why I said avatar)

I had the very same problem. the way I fixed it was to add a few returns in the sig area of the users preferences.

I dont remember exactly how It was fixed. I think I had to wait untill the last update and it fixed its self.


go into mattymx prefferences and in the sig area just hit return a few times and then save it.

Been reading here on where to find games to add and how to do it as well as converting them...and I'm still confused...yea, nothing new.

Is there anyone who has a list of these games available that are already setup for this hack that we don't have to do some tweaking to?

Yea I know....looking for the easy way out but I would rather not attempt to recreate the wheel if it's already been done.

Thanks...

What a great hack, LOVE IT!!!!

of course there are questions lol

I have installed a few flash games, everything works great on the ones that i installed, other than the scores being saved. I ahve checked everything, even the database and everything seems to be the same as far as format, and stuff. i have tried everything in all posts above also and cant seem to figure it out.

Here is the error i get when i try to run fixarcade.php:

SQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ' highscorerid = WHERE shortname = 'battleships' ' at line 5
SQL Error #: 1064
Query: UPDATE w3t_games SET highscore = , highscorerid = WHERE shortname = 'battleships'

i have tried to even query the database and everything.

any ideas?

thank you
