SMF Arcade

[KalEl025]

Is there an updated version of this mod somewhere? I just tried installing both 2.5RC1 and 2.0.18 and neither one are compatible.

Thanks in advance.

Still looking for a response to this please.

What version of SMF are you using?  If it's SMF 2.0.6 then you can use SMF Arcade v2.5 RC2 without problem, you just need to emulate SMF to 2.0.2 to install it. http://www.docskillz.com/docs/index.php?topic=323.0 

And http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_can_I_install_a_mod_that_doesn%27t_work_in_my_SMF_version

Thank you very much, that did the trick! Can I revert back to 2.0.6 after the mod has been installed, or will it break?

you can revert...   the emulatge is just for the installation.
It will also automatically revert after you end your session, anyway.

So, I installed the mod after emulating 2.0.2, and I get a message to enter ftp info to allow access to certain files. I entered the ftp info correctly (works through Filezilla just fine) and it says it can't connect. I clicked the link to see what files needed to be modified, and this is what I see. Am I missing something here? It doesn't seem to be completely installed, as there is no menu option or admin option for the mod yet.

if you got the ftp query, then it was trying to change the permissions on one (or more) file(s) so that the system could make the mod changes...

what you can do is make sure all of your directories are chmod 755 and all files 644. If that still trigger the warning, try 775/664. (if still, then 777/666, but change back to 755/644 as soon as you are done installing the mod)

I'm not sure I can do that through filezilla. :/

there is an option to change permissions (also called chmod) in filezilla - but it might not "take" depending on your server setup and you may need to do the permissions change from inside your cpanel/file manager

[KalEl025]

I updated all my file permissions, and it's still not working.

hi! i can write a help when i configure a game in the arcade, but this help don't appear in the game. I would like to know how I can display the game help next to the name of the game.
regards!

Norvidge,

  Install this plugin that is designed for SMF Arcade 2.5 RC2: http://webdevelop.comli.com/index.php?topic=6.0
It will add the help text beside the game. This will also give you an optional template for listing games which you may like better.
The extra options will show on your Arcade Admin.

Hello.

I'm having some troubles with the arcade on my forum.
Everything worked fine, but i just installed pretty url's and now each time i try to submit my score at the end of the game i get an "error 404 msg. and score could not be submitted"

Anyone know what could i do to fix that?

Yup, the issue is really pretty urls. When you submit, this is where you are redirected to:
http://trollngo.com/arcade/index.php?action=arcade

Of course, that's not correctly rewritten. In this same topic you find the fix: disable pretty urls for arcade

Why? It is known for this kind of issues with other MODs, actually...

I just installed Arcade 2.5 RC2, but I realize that the official website of Arcade is down,
are there any place to find many arcade games?

Hello Margarett, thank you for looking into it and for the prompt answer.
I did as the previews msg. says. Modified the Prettyurls- filter php and it still doesn't work.
I run maintenance for the Arcade, cleared forum catch and still ain't working . Same 404 error when trying to submit my score.

[margarett]

Be sure to double check your file edit... Your forum is not yet filtering arcade action
http://trollngo.com/arcade/
It should become http://trollngo.com/index.php?action=arcade after successful edit.

edit: you should try the hint AllMassive gave (next post). Easier and cleaner

There's a option in the Pretty-Urls Setting so disable the pretty Arcade-Button - so there's no need to fiddle in the sources.
I just installed the 2.5rc2 and have also Pretty-Urls enabled - and it works.
