Or, you can combine things as seen here: https://xfrocks.com/threads/arcade-project-section.174/#post-1806 Arcade Project section? Well, it's been a month since the announcement and was hoping for a few tidbits or plans for the future... When will we be talking about this project... xfrocks.com ...and just make the "Highscores" column a simple icon that does a popup or hover-over for results) for the top 5 runners up (don't think we need 6 as seen now)? Would be nice to somehow ditch the "Personal Best" column as well and produce the results via an icon as well. Tons of space to save here.
gemma @gsd103 I think it's a bug or maybe IPB games now use an update version of the tar import. You can go into each individual game and adjust the game heights/width. Sometimes clicking edit game and pressing save without editing any details will fix the problem.
I agree that the use of space could be better used - columns would be a viable option. This is just an idea but something like this could probably be achieved Using icons to minimise space, open overlays or new pages (someone could probably find better icons to use as these are only to highlight features and give ideas) 1. Add/Remove Favourites (single icon changes when one or other is selected) 2. Rate Game (single star shows until rated - shows your rating, tooltip shows average) 3. Highscores (click opens highscore page/overlay) 4. Share game (social media - popup overlay) 5. Report Game (if a game is broken etc - opens overlay to submit details) 6. Comments (opens comments page - possibly incorporated into the highscores page) You've got the game title, description (via tooltip). Highscore champion, score and how long ago the highscore was achieved (could be date if preferred). Your own personal best (could have a indicator to rank ie (1)) and how many times the game has been played in total. I think you could easily get 3 or 4 columns in most styles?
I'm not having any luck getting the core games to save scores. Installed a few IPB games and they seem to work fine. Any suggestions?
There used to be some issues if you were running xenPorta but I'm not sure if those problems have been fixed or whether they effected "core" games. Out of curiosity are you running xenPorta?
d12j28 @gemma Yes I use xenPorta. Was there some code that was added with the first arcade to get it to save scores or am I thinking back when I used VB?
gemma @d12j28 I've never used xenPorta so I've no idea if this works or if it is still relevant (@xfrocks or @Kevin may be able to confirm) Open the file /library/EWRporta/Listener/Init.php Find this line... Code: EWRporta_Helper_Index::setDefaultRoute($config, $data); and change it to: Code: if ((!empty($_REQUEST['autocom']) AND (($_REQUEST['do'] == 'verifyscore' AND $_REQUEST['autocom'] == 'arcade') OR ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'savescore' AND $_REQUEST['autocom'] == 'arcade'))) OR ( !empty($_REQUEST['act']) AND ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'newscore' AND $_REQUEST['act'] == 'Arcade'))) { // Do nothing! We want to let these requests be handled // by XenForo so that they can they be caught by XFA. } else { EWRporta_Helper_Index::setDefaultRoute($config, $data); } Save and upload.
I'm using xenPorta 1.6 and don't have Init.php On a side note I disabled the portal and the core games still wouldn't save.
Are you sure the file isn't on your server in {xf}//library/EWRporta/Listener? The earlier versions, at least, had init.php in the folder. What version of XFA are you using and is your server Apache or Nginx?
d12j28 @Kevin You were right. It was in the server and already had the code that @gemma suggested. I tried it with the code, without the code and actually deleted the file and still didn't work. I am using XF 1.3.2 and on Apache. What is strange is Bejeweled works but the others don't.
Kevin @d12j28 I think Bejeweled is a IPB v.32 game and not a v3Arcade game (v3A games are the default game type in XFA). In your XF root folder, do you have the arcade.php file on the server?
Garamond @gemma Already visited those sites, and even with a premium account I can't seem to find any download links
gemma @Garamond Dunno, I can see links fine either downloading directly via the arcade on the sites or in most cases via a download manager. Try http://www.next-level-arcade.com/ there are thousands of games available there
I have a bunch of "Find Her Differences" games. They are v.32. However when I try to play them, they don't play fully. I'm guessing because of gamedata has files in sub folders? I tried many different ways to upload them etc, but I can't get it to work. For example, the gamedata folder is like this: gamedata\findher\level1\xxx.swf The game loads up, but when you are int he game and you select the level, it doesn't play. So the Level X subfolder just isn't loading. Has anyone had this issue?
gemma @Ski-Whiz Only one I've tried is the Shakira one. It plays, changes levels and submits scores fine - do you have a copy of one that isn't playing so I can upload it?
I have been adding games manually, but I'd love to just use the import game feature. When I try to import the TAR, I get this error: I'm on shared hosting, so is this the problem? I am not 100% sure what the file/folder permissions should be, but most of the arcade folders are 777. Does anyone have any ideas?
Any idea when there will be instructions on installing this? The requirements? I can't get the Import feature to work, and I have PEAR and Zend enabled. So my host and I have no idea where that error is from.
Ok, for me, I resolved this issue with PEAR. It was not installed correctly. Great information for your host or to check your server: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.checking.php
I had this installed on my community forums, no XenPorta installation, and the score does not save after completion. Anyone else?
Alien @xfrocks It wasn't me, and I do not know who the person is who generated it.. Its hidden to only staff at this time... Happened at this URL too: http://www.sitename.com/?act=Arcade Maybe generated by the game champion link in the posts page or something?
The arcade does not save any scores to the leaderboard or anything on my forum. Once played, and once the game has ended, you have to refresh the page to play again or it will be stuck on "transmitting data" or similar. Seems no one even bothered to answer this guys post as well:
John @Jordan I had to disable it because it served no purpose. What's the point if none of your scores are being saved?
Well it could be something wrong with your setups (htaccess, route filters, portals etc) because all the games I've tried work perfectly (core & IPB and so did Mochi games when they were included) Is it just the core games that don't work? (if it is then it isn't really a big deal as they are available in IPB game format and there is only a handful of core games available anyway (old v3 Arcade games)
Hi, I have a question: the arcade is still being developed? I've got a picture of where you get the version? I am willing to pay if someone can help me. greeting moby2006
xfrocks @moby2006 Yes it is. You can get the latest copy here https://xfrocks.com/threads/xf-arcade-0-2-0-testing.262/
moby2006 @xfrocks Thank you, I've installed. My question is there a version give as in the picture? The Sidbar Left tournaments etc What is planned? Review with comments Works for every game. Who something not good, so that games can Rate? greeting moby2006
Hey @xfrocks is there any reason why the arcade will not save scores on my install? I haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks!
xfrocks @John Are you sure you are running version 0.2.0? Also, which version of XenForo are you using?
John @Kevin I'm using a widget page as my homepage. From the Widget Framework @xfrocks created. Also as a side note. I re-installed 0.2.1b to see if it was just me and it still does it. When the game is over and asks you to submit or attempts to redirect you, it does nothing.
