SMF Arcade

[lurkalot]

No problem.... It isn't working now, so there's no use of our games and stuf this way hihi  . I will make a double back up from my database first

You're welcome.

256 pages and I can't find a search result within this topic for "increase filesize"! 

I have 2.5 RC3 in 2.0.11 default and I see that the maximum total filesize for game uploads is 8 MB.  I have a game that is just over that so, of course, it doesn't upload.  I guess I could unpack it and manually install it but I really don't like to bypass package managers, installers, uploaders, etc., unless it's a last resort.  Is there anywhere in the arcade files that I could increase the upload filesize limit?  I can locate things like "post_max_size" and "arcade_upload" in the files, but I can't see the actual limits. 

I would like to change it from 8 MB to 10 MB.

Thanks! 


EDIT:  I'm getting 2 errors for this block of code in the ManageGames.php file:

Code Select Expand

function ManageGamesUpload2()
{
global $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings, $context, $sourcedir, $smcFunc;

foreach ($_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'] as $n => $dummy)
{
if ($_FILES['attachment']['name'][$n] == '')
continue;


Error 1:  2: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
Error 2:  8: Undefined index: attachment


But all games have uploaded well until I realized this one is bigger than 8 MB.  Then the error appeared.

The value 8M is being retrieved from your php.ini file (see function ini_get() in the code just above the snippet you posted).

Either change the php.ini file (not recommended) or amend the code in ManageGames.php as follows:

Code (Find) Select Expand

function ManageGamesUpload()
{
global $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings, $context, $sourcedir, $smcFunc;

if (!is_writable($modSettings['gamesDirectory']) && !chmod($modSettings['gamesDirectory'], 0777))
fatal_lang_error('arcade_not_writable', false, array($modSettings['gamesDirectory']));

$context['post_max_size'] = return_bytes(ini_get('post_max_size')) / 1048576;

// Template
$context['sub_template'] = 'manage_games_upload';
}

Code (Replace) Select Expand

function ManageGamesUpload()
{
global $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings, $context, $sourcedir, $smcFunc;

if (!is_writable($modSettings['gamesDirectory']) && !chmod($modSettings['gamesDirectory'], 0777))
fatal_lang_error('arcade_not_writable', false, array($modSettings['gamesDirectory']));

$context['post_max_size'] = return_bytes('2048M') / 1048576;

// Template
$context['sub_template'] = 'manage_games_upload';
}

I have a site with arcade games with SMF 1.1.20 but all games i cant play from smartphone. Why?

Maybe because the games aren't compatible with smartphones.

[Kindred]

most of the games are flash games....   most smart phones don't support flash (and apple devices never will)

[vbgamer45]

Yes, and flash is starting to get phased out in browsers too. Was thinking about having an HTML5 based arcade. A little more complicated as html5 games have a lot of support files and would require modifications to the games to track highscores and prevent cheating

[andy12gr]

Thanks to all.
Is easy to change the code to play in smartphone?

[Arantor]

No, since every game has to be rewritten from scratch.

[andy12gr]

Thanks Arantor

I'm able to play the arcade's flash games on my iPad and iPhone using the Photon browser.   

[Arantor]

Given that Flash is being phased out of desktop browsers soon, now is the time to start replacing everything with HTML5.

Does that mean the games are created using html 5? If so, is there a way to convert flash files to html5?

[Arantor]

No, it means they will need to be rewritten from scratch.

There have been many attempts at a Flash converter over the years but none of them were ever reliable.

Thing is, this has been on the cards since Steve Jobs' letter on why Flash was banned on iDevices.

I test the Photon browser but i take a message as i must enable the javascript?

When you open the Photon browser to a site, there a little icon in the top right that looks like a lightning bolt.  You have to click that in order for your flash to load. 

If it works for you, enjoy it while you can.  Looks like we'll have to either let our arcade go or hope for new compatible HTML5 games.  As I'm no game coder, that's all I can do... wait.   

Encouraged to see vbgamer45 mention his thoughts concerning an HTML5 arcade.  Maybe that will lead to a nice solution.

Cannot install anyone to help me

What error do you receive?

[dstaker]

Can someone please tell me, will this work for my forum 2.0.14 ?
