SMF Arcade

[Various Rulez]

I was it installed fine and everything thanks to you but i get that error whY?

Oh, I understand, now.  Okay.  Once the mod is installed and you have gone to your admin area and enabled it (and you'll also have to go to each membergroup's permissions to allow them to access it), then you'll want to get games.  The easiest way to start is to go here:

http://games.smfarcade.info/

where you can click on Game Packs or download individual games.  You'll need to register.  These games come in zips so when you download them, you'll go to Admin-->  Arcade Admin--> Games and click the Install tab.  At the bottom of that page, you will browse to your game zip, upload it and install it. 

Now...

You can't upload any games with extensions other that .zip (such as .tar, which are v32 games) until you first apply Jeza's arcade skin.  You can get that zip here (at the bottom of the post on this thread) and install it with your package manager just like any mod:

http://www.smfarcade.info/forum/index.php?topic=4217.msg25933#msg25933


v32 games require that you create a directory in your forum's root called:  arcade (small case) and inside that folder, another folder called:  gamedata  (small case).

To learn where you can get other games, try this link:

Can you help on my HELP!! topic please

[gbsothere]

Can you help on my HELP!! topic please

I'm actually logging in to another member's site now, to help with some errors, but I did read the topic.  I think, Tommy, that you need to go back and edit your first post and try to make things more clear.  The support helpers are having a bit of trouble understanding, so they need it really spelled out for them. 

Good luck with your arcade.

thanks

I found some games that have been alter to save scores in MyBB and i installed one of the games to my forum to see if it would send a hi score and i got this message

Wrong value type sent to the database. Floating point number expected. (score)

These games don't have a copyright on them so what would the best program be to edit these games and change the score submitter parameters so they will work in smf arcade?

I can't install any games. Whenever I upload one, and try to click install, it goes back to the install page and shows "No Games available to install" and in Edit Games it shows "You haven't installed any games yet" no matter how I upload them - through the site, through FTP, as zip, or as tar. I tried three different games, and none of them worked. I had one game on there before, but had to take it off. Now I can't get it back on. IT'S DRIVING ME UP A DAMN WALL!

EDIT: Minesweeper does upload and install, though. And the directories for the games get created, but nothing else happens.

I would check to make sure the directories where the games are uploaded to are writable

I had my host change ownerships from httpd:httpd to my account, and I made the directories 777, but I still had the same issue. I just had them do it again. Let's see if it works now. *fingers crossed*

[lax.slash]

Nothing. wtf. I did a search, and found no one else with this issue...

What you are describing sounds like one of two issues:

Improper directory settings

• Navigate to your arcade admin settings and double check -Url to games- and -path to games directory-

Uploading .tar game archives:

• Trying to upload .tar archives requires a secondary installation package.

SMF 1:	Install the .tar and v32 game uploader package:	http://www.smfarcade.info/forum/index.php?topic=4033.0
SMF 2:	Install the SMF Arcade Rc1 Skin:	http://www.smfarcade.info/forum/index.php?topic=6676.0

When I tried to install this, I got:

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log.

As far as I can tell, it hasn't done any edits, so I can't figure out what the problem is. I went through the parser, and nothing has been done. Nothing in the error log refers to this.

Sounds like a server issue or glitch when you tried to install it. Check your permissions for files and directories and try it again.

I had forgotten about this and tried to install it again. There's no way to 'try it again' because the whole site receives this error. I think I was on a new site before and just ended up reinstalling it.  All the edits have been done except the database edits. I don't know how to fix it.

Trying to use SMF Arcade and SimpleSef.  When you try to submit your scores it gives you an too many redirects error.  Did a search and couldn't find anything.  I'm using SMF 2.0Rcs 3 and this mod.  Is their a way around this?

I had the same problem, my solution was to unzip the games and then stick them in separate directories in the games directory under the name of the game.  Haven't had any probs yet.

Hello
I'm sorry to bother you but I cannot install the arcade package to my forum. I'm running 1.1.12 and thought I read it was now compatible with this version. I tried to register in the smfarcade forum but the dropdown list did not include my version.

Below is the error I keep getting with installing 2.0.18 . I'm a tech knob so I could be doing something wrong. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Sincerely,
Gabby

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

[Ozzie]

yer i see its not in drop down list but it is here in this post at smfarcade  http://smfarcade.info/forum/index.php?topic=7264.0... u will prob need to reg to download it from that post

to hell with it here!!

This release only includes added support for SMF 1.1.12.

[GabbyG]

Thank you very much for your reply. I tried the zip file you provided and got this error.

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.
