SMF Arcade

judymcl · October 25, 2005, 03:55:06 AM

Rider, thank you for the information. I am not in need of any games just now, but I had put in a request a while back for one (Chicken Shootout) and they had obtained permission and were going to proceed with converting it for SMF Arcade, so I just had wondered what was happening when it said the site was closed. I'm glad to know that the site is not gone. Will the same URL be used for it or will we have a new one again?

Thank you again,
Ruskin

I'm hoping when the dust settles the url will be smfgames but I have to wait to see.As for the game request I'll check into it and let you know.

I just recently set up SMF Arcade on my forum. I really like it, and so do my students (it's my class' online presence).

However, I've seen on some other sites where Karma points can be used to "buy" games. I'd like to be able to do this so my students don't just play games.

Anyone have any idea how this can be done?

Nice modification. My Sources directory was deleted when I ran the SQL file.

What do you mean it was deleted?As far as I know the arcade doesn't delete anything.This is the 1st time I've heard of this.

Rockboy · October 26, 2005, 02:09:36 PM

Sorry...I'll delete that post, as I can't say that was exactly what happened. But I ran Arcade_SQL.php, and tested out my forum, and voila, my Sources directory is missing. My forum is down right now as I'm trying to reinstall it. Fortunately, I just backed up my database before I ran that file.

Rockboy · October 26, 2005, 02:26:31 PM

However, I did run into this error:

Code Select

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'C:\****\****\kutlessrocks.com\wwwroot\board2\Sources/QueryString.php
I can see that I entered the source directory incorrectly, where can I edit that?

Do you have the correct permissions for your sources directory (chmodded to 777)?

Which version of SMF, arcade are you using? Are you using the default theme or a custom one?

The arcade mod does not modify that file in anyway.

I downloaded the Arcade via the Package Manager today. I executed it, and when I ran the SQL file, my sources directory mysteriously disappeared. I had it backed up, so I re-uploaded it. Now I can't access anything arcade-related. When I try to uninstall, 3 of the files fail the tests...oh wait. I know why. By typing this out, I figured out what my problem is. :-D

*EDIT* Fixed with 4 mouseclicks.

I upgraded my acrcade to the latest version, all works fine, but when it lists highscores, instead of the click able member name/profile, it says Array.

But if i look under the "welcome to Arcade" it list the username fine for high score.

How do i fix?

a little note for the auothor of this mod:
first, congrats. this mod is really great
but i think your package has lots of excess code in <search for> commands.
and it makes the package have a high probability of giving failed tests during install

The games used for the arcade are by permission only.We do try and get permission from as many authors as we can.Try this link for the D/L.http://www.arcade.web.com/index.php

The site is under going some changes right now so bare with us as it gets done.

Does anyone know how to install games? None of the links in this thread work. Accounts are suspended, domains are not registered. Does anyone have this working on thier SMF?

diane_tt · October 27, 2005, 04:30:18 PM

You can use the link to d/l the games again.Sorry for the inconvinece.
To add the games you need to upload them to your FTP and into the games folder.Then install them thru the arcade admin features on your site.

You need to follow my instuctions in the post above yours and you should have no trouble.

DangerGirl · October 29, 2005, 07:41:09 PM

I found the solution regarding the below text. Come to find out, the installation spelled the table wrong. I had to have my website admin fix that.

Anyway, I tried to upgrade from arcade version 1.2 to 1.2.3, and while installing, Display.template.php failed. I continued anyway, hoping, and now I get this error when going to arcade_sql.php:

SMF Arcade Install & Update tool
Install
Checking database differences
Connected and Selected Database
Finding tables... 70 tables in database
Table 'bboards.smf_games_category' doesn't exist

Edit: I uploaded 1.2.3, but the only package available to install via package manager was SMF Arcade 1.2.1. Could this be my problem? I'm confused I guess, it's been a long night.

Give me access to your ftp and I'll see what I can do

rellik · November 02, 2005, 08:34:25 PM

One quick question.

Any idea when Game Pack 0 is gonna be fixed, still downloads as corrupted, and alot smaller then it should be.

Really interested in this, because it's by far the most games available.
