SMF Arcade

[PersianDeveloper]

Hey there
I have just translated your package and installed it on my SMF2 forum : http://forum.persian.cc
However, non of the flash based games are working. The error message is "enable javascript in order to play games", yet I have already enabled that in firefox.
also tested the games in IE and opera
still the same error...

arcade URL is :
http://forum.persian.cc/index.php?action=arcade

Yes I'm getting the same message on your arcade so it is not a browser issue....

[PersianDeveloper]

Yes, and I just uninstalled the package, and installed the original english one
It works now
but why is that ?
to translate the package I have translated two php files
English  and English.utf...  one

Try reading this, as mentioned in the linked topic:
http://www.smfarcade.info/forum/index.php?topic=4969.0

I went in through PhpMyAdmin and changed everything to utf8_general_ci , the error still occur

Then I have no idea what the problem is, sorry.

@above: I just tested in google Chrome on my HTC phone abs it says flash was not found. Going to try the stock browser in a second.

Edit: stock browser says the same, although I have flash installed...

I have updated to smf 2 and when reinstalling my arcade I receive the following error.

Database Error
Duplicate key name 'id_game'
File: /XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXX/public_html/XXXXXXXXX/forum/Packages/temp/arcadeinstall/Subs-Install.php
Line: 143

Can anyone provide some guidance on this?

elliatt,

  The installation package for SMF 2 will not work correctly where the SMF 1 version of the arcade was previously installed.  No one (including myself) has made a conversion package/tool to transfer the SMF 1 Arcade db values to the SMF 2 Arcade db values. The only current option is to use the purge tool which omits all of the SMF 1 arcade db data & will let you install the SMF 2 Arcade afterward. With this process all previous Arcade data will be lost but it will let you use the SMF 2 Arcade anew.

Thank you for the information!

I think 1 start would getting special VARS during the game would be a very good and easy sollution.

[DMR123]

It would be great to get this mod compatible with SMF 2.0.2

SMF Arcade v2.5 RC2

[Goodman854]

For those with database error issues (I've read a few) during installation or otherwise:

There is an Arcade DB purge tool I made a while back which will remove any E-Arcade or SMF Arcade DB tables/entries.
Follow directions from this page: ref. http://smfarcade.info/forum/index.php?topic=7646.0

This will of course delete any previous arcade data but should allow you to install the arcade without issue.
Otherwise there is also a hack version released that uses a different db install routine as an option.



There is a download link now on the main site for a more recent release of the SMF Arcade RC2.
I can verify that the installer was adjusted for SMF 2.0.2 but I do not know why Niko did not update it here.

Code Select Expand


<install for="2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2">


I hope this will resolve some peoples issues.

The arcade website requires admin approval to join, and it looks like that site is barely even managed I don't think I'll be able to get that tool. Any chance you could host it some where else?


EDIT:

I get "Please wait while checking session..." all the time. I changed the submit system to arcade 2.0 or something and now it says I don't have flash.

goodman854,

  I check the arcade site at least every few days to accept new members pending approval. Most delays for registration are due to the user/register not confirming their email by linking back to the forum in a timely manner.  Your user name was just accepted a few minutes ago which will now allow you to view attachments.  The strict setup/policy to check on new users has been put in place to thwart spam. 
  Most games that you install will automatically set the appropriate save type. If the save type for a specific game is not set correctly, an error message will appear in your log informing you of which submit system that specific game should be adjusted to.

Thank you, however I used the tool then removed it and installed  SMF Arcade 2.5 RC2 went to play Invaders from game pack 14 which i told it to install and it says... Please wait while checking session...

And it never leaves from that. How do I fix this?

[flamechica]

Does anyone know if it would be hard to change the notification for invitation to the Arena matches to a PM instead of an email and how I would go about doing this?

[Skaty]

any sign for 2.0.3 ? 

[Eclipse16V]

Works with 2.0.3

[crustybum]

Where?...can someone point me to the version that works with the latest smf release SMF 2.0.3??

[TheListener]

To Skaty and Crustybum

Have you looked through the mods posts?

Also have a look at www.smfarcade.info

Yes, The version in the mods section is not compatible with 2.03, and the link you provided is to a "hack" which i am still waiting for email conformation to....but i do realize its not worked for everyone..

[FrizzleFried]

I take it you've attempted to emulate the last version it's reporting compatible with,  right?

If not,  you might want to give that a try.  It's been a while since I installed it but it installed in to 2.0.2 with out much issue... and when I upgraded to 2.0.3 I had no issues...
