SMF Arcade

The main package should install on SMF 2.0.3.. the installer for it should work for any future updates of SMF 2.0x without using emulation (range of possible versions in xml install).

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...

Still waiting for conformation...

Where do i "emulate"

[FrizzleFried]

Where do i "emulate"

Click the button at the bottom right of the Package Manager screen titled "ADVANCED".

Which brings me to two questions actually.

(1) Why in the heck did the folks in charge require us to jump through these hoops... why the version limitation anyway (I can see maybe a version check between 1 and 2)...
(2) WHY in the heck didn't the folks in charge label that button "ADVANCED/EMULATION" or something to that effect.

I'd bet the #1 problem related to mods that people inquire about here has the same answer... "emulate"...  right?

(1) Why in the heck did the folks in charge require us to jump through these hoops... why the version limitation anyway (I can see maybe a version check between 1 and 2)...

Because the way the package manager works, it relies on doing find/replace, which can change between versions. Sometimes something from 1.1.8 won't work on 1.1.9 so for a mod to work on both, it has to specify instructions separately for 1.1.8 and 1.1.9 - or conversely specifying instructions for 1.1.x as well as instructions for 2.0. This version check is precisely how it knows what to do.

(2) WHY in the heck didn't the folks in charge label that button "ADVANCED/EMULATION" or something to that effect.

Be grateful you even got a UI 1.1.x forced you to manually enter a change to the URL until I wrote a mod to make it slightly easier (though that confuses people too)

Actually I'd suggest leaving it at Advanced, because people who don't understand what it does shouldn't really be using it, and I've never liked the way it's touted as a general fix to everything, as opposed to mod authors cleaning up mods.

Started to get excited...seemed to install (emulated it to 2.02) then at the end got this.
Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key

Anyone?

My apologies as I was previously in error. I had put in a pull request for the package.info file to be configured to install for future SMF version updates & it was applied to what I thought was the RC2 version but it was for 2.6 Alpha?!

The package.info file for version RC2 has now been updated & is available on the download page that I previously linked.

Imo use the purge tool from here: http://smfarcade.info/forum/index.php?topic=7646.0
It does not matter if you had any previous arcade version installed. The tool simply ensures all db data for any arcade tables (SMF Arcade or E-Arcade) are deleted. Afterward you should be able to install the arcade without issue.

cheers...if i install this purge tool....whats the worst it could do to my forum?

[crustybum]

Took the plunge and all working!! Cheers Underdog and all that helped

I believe my site is using an outdated Arcade. I'm looking into updating it, but will be loose our games if we do?  My members will eat me alive if we loose our games lol, and considering how many we have I don't want to have re put them all up.

Another question, our categories seem to disapear. They always come back but sometimes one is gone. Is it because its an outdated arcade or is it because we have too many categories?

I attempted to install the MOD but it says the file is either corrupt or not compatible with current SMF version. I'm using 2.0.3. How to fix this? Thank you.

I'm  getting that message as  well, and I was downloading from the link you provided.

[humbleworld]

lurkalot, i downloaded the MOD from that link. But the MOD does not install on SMF 2.0.3.

How do I get a hold of the people over at the SMF Arcade Website? I was trying to register for an account to their website so I could download the Mochi Media Hack & I got an error message when I submitted my request. SO, I went back & redid it & then I got a message saying I am banned & now I can't see anything on their website!!! There is no way to contact them that I can see. Anyone know how? I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

[Itch™]

Same here, no clue what happened.

Haven't a clue what's happening over there, I get told nothing.  But there's 67 pages of banned members for March 2013 so far, I suspect the anti spam has thrown a wobbly. 

PM me your username over there, and I'll see if I can approve it.

Good morning!

I realize that there has not been a post here since March, but I am wondering if someone here can help me.

I am getting hundreds of error reports a day after installing this mod (the new version offered from the official site) on my 2.0.4 forum. The install itself went without a hitch, but the sheer amount of errors that happen are enough to slow my site down if I don't clear the logs daily. We have less than 40 people on the site and I don't think this is normal, LOL.

The hundreds or errors I am getting are:

8: Undefined index: is_shareable
/home/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/Sources/Load.php
Line: 1439

Does anyone know how I may fix this? Without having to disable error reporting? Thank you!
