SMF Arcade

[flapper]

Have tried to install SMF Arcade 2.5 Beta 2.2 Public first on my main forum and then on a test forum and both time get the same errors. Im using SMF 2.0 Beta 4.

On both accations, i upload the package, using package manager and apply the mod, all tests are successfull, and so click on install now, the package starts to install but then i get a page with this message

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

And in my error log in cPanel i get this error message

SoftException in Application.cpp:252: File "/home/...../public_html/...../installArcade.php" is writeable by group

Can anyone tell me what the problem is, arcade seems to be working fine after all this but never had this problem installing anything before.

The above tells me that your server is trying to protect you (or itself). You can try to change the permissions so that it's not writable by "group".
As for the other, it may or may not be related. I personally have never come across that error before.

Howdy, all.

Well, I'm trying to install this mod onto my forum, but it's not working... I'm running the default theme with the lilac color change (the site is for my sister).   I tried using the package manager, and I tried manually installing it.   The problem is that the tab at the top doesn't appear, any help?

Which version of SMF?
Which version of the Arcade?
Is the Lilac theme the default theme with alterations or a separate theme based on the default?

I am using this mod version 2.0.15 on my 1.1.7 SMF forum... what can i do to make this mod have features like tournaments, rankings etc etc?

SMF Arcade 2.5 Beta 2.2 Public (for SMF 2.4 Beta) has and "Arena" which is like tournaments, but there's nothing like that for SMF Arcade 2.0.x.
I'm not sure, but E-Arcade may have something.

I figured it out... It was a problem with the default coding it seems...

Just make sure the arcade (or any mod) works in the default core theme first. Then, make it work for your other themes.

For regular uninstallation of the files just do it via Packages.

When you uninstall the arcade it does not remove the database tables. You'll need to go into phpmyadmin and drop the _arcade tables.

This is a hosting permissions issue. You have lost files/folder ownership. Ask your hosting to "chown" your files so you can regain ownership.

I installed SMF Arcade and it only works on the SMF Default Theme. How can I fix this? If you need it here is my site:

http://tez.novahost.org/

[SA™]

its there

http://www.tez.novahost.org/index.php?action=arcade

you just need to add the tab for it on that custom theme by default it will only install to the default theme

Hello, just installed SMF Arcade on my clean 2.0 beta 4 forum with default theme and it worked fine. Then I click to install a game (just used the Xmas Snowboarding as a trial) and now I get a white screen when I click on the Games option to manage settings. It was working before I tried to install the game.

Any ideas?

Could it be related to FTP permissions? We currently have an issue with that (SMF-generated duplicate themes are locked out to us) which our host is to look into.

Ah, just looked and the .zip of the game itself is set to Apache user and group. Is this the problem, because the arcade cannot modify/unzip the file?

Is there a way to install non scored games, whenever I try I get a 500 internal server error

Do you get the error after the game is played?
Edit the game and find "Scoring" and set to "None".
The other options are: Normal (highest scores) and Reverse (lowest scores...like golf)

I'm not sure which version you are using.

Im using SMF 1.1.17 and SMF Arcade 2.0.16, I get the error when I try to install the game, even if the game is not compatible it should still be able to install so others can play right?
