SMF Arcade

[Sickthing]

I had an install issue.   Getting this error:

Suggestions on how to fix this?  i installed a lot of mods yesterday.  I'm beginning to think that's a bad idea.  I  may just do a restore.

I thought I had 1.1.5 installed but I had 1.1.4 and installed mods for 1.1.5  hopefully I'll some advice.  Thanks

The link to my arcade is in the menu bar, but I only want the link viewable by registered members.

check your guests permissions.

We've installed the arcade mod (apparently successfully), and it shows on the admin panel. We then downloaded and installed a gamespack, which shows as installed from the manage games box. Checked that they're installed enabled, but can't see them anywhere (not even Admin) except via that box. Do we need to provide a mod to the theme to see them or something? Some of the previous posts here seem to indicate that it should provide a button to connect....

The Arcade only installs to SMF's default theme if you use anouther theme you will need to do the theme edits on that theme.

Thanks fwitt. Is there anywhere that I can find the mods necessary for Dilber and Babylon themes - I've trawled through several pages here

I've followed the advice here but still having problems with Arcade access!
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=241409.0

I've added a User to a new Member Group I've created and they can only see 3 games in the Arcade! If I remove them from this new group then they can see all the games once more!

I've created this new Member Group for access to a Board that regular members can not see! So it's private and I will add them to the group manually as and when I wish to etc.
When I 1st created the new group the User I had in there told me they stopped having access to the Arcade, couldn't even get in to Arcade to view! They also stopped having access to the Gallery!!
I deleted the new group and created it again as I think I may have gone a bit wrong when setting up.

Current board setup;
Add Membergroup
Based on Regular Members.
"Visible Boards: Boards the membergroup can see" all selected.

Under Permissions Allowed/Denied, the group has the same amount of permissions and none denied as Regular Members.

All permissions are set Global and I haven't changed anything there to local.

When I check Permission for the users profile "Show Permissions"
It shows Given by: "new group" I created and put this user in.
Under Admin – Arcade – Categories
I've selected the new group as per the post above! But when I put the user in the new group it then only shows 3 games!

Note. If the user logs out they can then see all the games listed as Guest!!!
This problem

I think I'm overlooking something but can't see where I've gone wrong
Forum version: SMF 1.1.5

I've been told to post here as this in not "Core smf"!! 
Thanx for any advice on this.

Sounds like its an arcade permissions thing first check your arcade Settings to see which permissions type you are using then if you are using catagory based permissions go into catagories and add this new membergroup to each catagory they are allowed to use or if its games do the same. As some games work comparing the settings for these/their catagory to those of a game they dont have access to should help with finding the issues.

Hello i manually installed the smf arcade mod on my smf forums ver 1.1.5

Installing it went pretty easy and everything in admin and the arcade window itself seems to work

however after installing game pack 1 the games are listed and i click to play one
and all i get is a screen that flashes toward the top of the page

i went through all the files and double checked them i cant seem to figure out why it isnt working.

Im Running a LAMP setup and i have set permissions.

Thanks for any help,

Thanx for the reply fwitt
Under Admin - Arcade - Settings the Permission mode is set to "Game Only" and I've never changed this setting.
I had already gone in to Arcade Categories and added the member group and ticked!

So I'm at a loss with what this problem is!
I don't see why this new Group I created has anything to do with removing or restricting access to the Arcade. I don't think Rights/Permissions should work this way IMHO!

The new Group has no link to Arcade at all, it's for a hidden board that a small select list of Users will have access to.
Is there detailed instructions on permissions available I can read up on, and is there any known problems like this that have come up before relating to Arcade and perhaps Gallery also!
Thanx for any feedback.

Hi all,
I tried to install this mod on 1.1.5 with TP and when i upload it is test fine but when i try and apply mod i get this message:

An Error Has Occurred!
You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!



I have went into my FTP and set all package directory's to writable and still doesnt work and i deleted it completely and then retried and still same thing happens.

I dont not get an actual error in my error log though so.. i dont know whats going on

Anybody know or have a fast answer or easy answer to this problem.

All help is really thanked.


NOTE:
I just installed 3 other packages before this so i know my package manager works so.... im lost on this one.
