SMF Arcade

[Fox420]

Fox420 - The latest version of the arcade is .13, not .12 as it mentions in your post. .13 did actually include a lot of bug-fixes.

It can be downloaded here: http://www.smfarcade.info/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=0 [nofollow]

Doh! Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Interesting. My smf arcade already reads 2.0.13 at the bottom.

And My Mod Packages reads:

1. SMF Arcade PM Switch 1.0.1   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
2. SMF 1.0.13 / 1.1.5 / 2.0 b3.1 Update 1.0   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
3. SMF Arcade 2.0.13   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ]

But under the Language Files it reads:

Arcade.english.php   Your Version: 2.0.12    Current Version: ??
ArcadeAdmin.english.php   Your Version: 2.0.8   Current Version: ??

and

Arcade.english-utf8.php       ??     ??
ArcadeAdmin.english-utf8.php    ??    ??

2 questions for anyone. First, can I open a ticket with the Helpdesk for this? I thought I remember something about smf being a separate thing. (So Lunarpages wouldn't have support for it). 

Second, I show 666 as the Permissions under the File Manager for the Arcade.english-utf8.php and ArcadeAdmin.english-utf8.php.

Everything else is at 755. Should those be kept at 666? Or can I change them to 755? Or 777?

Thanks for you help!

Anyone that has smf arcade installed. Can you check your File Manager.

Does this look right? I'm having issues. And I think this should be 755 like the others. But i don't want to change it, and mess things up. Thanks.

Some file premissions for the arcade need to be 777.  You won't mess anything up by upgrading the premissions.

the two files you mention are not actually used unless you are using foriegn language sets on utf-8. If you dont know what that means, your probably not.

I would suggest that anyone who has any problems checks out the smfarcade support boards at smfarcade.info, as there are a lot of answers there (more then can be fit in 1 thread here). Your issue sounds like a basic permission problem (ie did you create a special group for your member that wasnt there when you installed the arcade originally?)

[Fox420]

Thanks for the suggestions.

And I posted on the other forum. Your right, there is a lot of info over there.

Also...yes, i did create a group. I'll look in that direction too. (I sorta already did. So I was at least thinking along the right lines. Hopefully!)

Thanks again.

Hi all, i need some suggestions
When i was installing SMF Arcade 2.0.13, got some error ..
i am using smf 1.1.4

=================================
Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.
Install Actions

5.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/index.template.php     Test failed

=========================

at error log :

Undefined index: view_newest_first
File:Display.template.php (eval?)
Line: 571
=====================

thx for attention

That's funny. About a split second before you posted, I was going to say that I got the exact same error EXCEPT I'm installing to SMF 1.1.5.

EDIT: Found a possible solution in a previous page.

- I continued with installation.

- Afterward, at the top it said to proceed to step 4 which is also a link. Clicking on it gave me an error, so I back tracked and just clicked the Arcade button on my menu link. Everything seems to be in working order.

- Switched back to my theme and double checked. Everything is ok.

How can i go into the database and edit scores. A few scores are not being recorded. I want to get them in there but it says session is not there, or freezes and doesn't save the score. The people have screen shots of the scores. We are having a little competition but i can't make it fair if the scores don't record.

Thanks for any help.

Seems http://www.smfarcade.info/ was hacked. I'm sorry to see that. Hopefully not because of an Arcade security problem? Anyway, Niko and staff are doing a great job there. I hope they can restore the site.

The site is restored. Someone only changed the index.php file. Not sure how they got in yet but I fixed it so people can use the site again.

Ran into this problem before.  Firstly, the reason scores aren't recording and saying that a session doesn't exist is because the user chose only to log in for a specific amount of time.  If this happens the session is terminated and no scores can be recorded.

In order to record some scores that were missed because of this error, I had to actually edit the records in the database.  Unless you have some knowledge of SQL, I wouldn't recommend it.  There may be an easier way but this is how it was done.

oh oh ... i wondered about powered by smf 1.3.3.7 stated in the footer

[Skhilled]

Um, thought the site was restored but not. Sorry for the inconvenience. I didn't even notice the leet in the footer.

Hack wasn't done via security problem in Arcade.

How can i add more flash games to the arcade?
