FCB-ROGA Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Anyone else have a problem when trying to comment on a game? It seems to stick on the submitcomment page. EDIT: Now it's working.

FCB-ROGA Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 What is the 'New Challenge' box supposed to do? Magic :ph34r: Or voodoo..... but it's tough to know the difference really.
Collin1000 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 What is the 'New Challenge' box supposed to do? Sends a PM to the person you type in saying they got a challenge.
FCB-ROGA Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Sends a PM to the person you type in saying they got a challenge. Not working.... just getting an error page. Also, when the board tries to figure out who's name I'm typing in, it doesn't come up with suggestions as it typically does in other search fields or ACP fields. One other 'bug' is that it makes all characters lower case on the user name ID when a comment is made, and when it tells you your score has been posted after playing a game. Not sure if that's worth a bug report or not... I'm new to this. Sorry if I'm a pain in the arse.

Type ahead is working fine for me. http://screencast.com/t/ZjRmZTU3M Lowcase is intentionally used in the commenting area.
FCB-ROGA Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Figured out the type ahead issue... one of our admins used the name "¿Por qué?", and the upside down question mark seems to be the problem. Type ahead working with others (like my own name). Also, challenge working too as long as I don't use a name that is not in the DB... go figure. Might be nice on a future release to have an error page for that which specifically says: "That user does not exist" or something of that nature.
Smokey-Rev Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Can't wait for the bug fix release! and a Delete game feature woot! next is categories! :) and easier .swf support :D

I diddnt really expect anyone to type in the name of a user who doesnt exist. :rolleyes:
Collin1000 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Can't wait for the bug fix release! and a Delete game feature woot! next is categories! :) and easier .swf support :D Already submitted, just pending approval. Categories technically are already a feature. You just have to configure them via phpmyadmin. All the tar files Ive found use a catagory called "1" - aka none. Too much to overhaul really. Either way, you'd have to manually configure every game.
Smokey-Rev Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Well a better categories system would be great, also, if you could put a password for categories that'd be great. :D
FCB-ROGA Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Well a better categories system would be great, also, if you could put a password for categories that'd be great. :D Or at least make it easier for people like me to remove the default categories from the game list (currently shows weird games and arcade games as categories, but I don't have the skill to update those lists... or at least not yet). But yes... a better categories system would be great for future release, if it can be done well...for example: Maybe a field in the 'game info' section for each game under the 'Manage Game' section of the ACP settings. Could have a 'add new category' button. All categories added are then listed and selectable in a drop down menu as a field in that 'game info' section.
Collin1000 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Amazing how at one point today there were 40 posts an hour, and now almost 2 hours of total silence. With that, I am out for the night everyone. I will answer posts again tomorrow. Huge thanks to everyone who donated today and everyone who helped out while I was gone! I have not heard from Andy yet on the status of the new baby, but if I do, I will let everyone know! :)
Smokey-Rev Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Good night Collin! thanks for the fantastic arcade! :) I can't wait for the new release! I'm also out for the night. Good night peeps! :)
Chito Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Apart from the usual frustrations of dealing with beta/RC versions for developers as well as their testers, things seem to be moving along pretty well for the iArcade, especially considering it was started from scratch. :thumbsup: I'm not much of a beta/RC tester, due to the fact that I don't trust myself :whistle: , but I have been closely following this topic, which is why I'm patiently awaiting the 'stable' version of iArcade. I've waited a whiles for something like this to come along, so a few more weeks/months (however long it takes) won't hurt to finally get my hands on its stable version. Great work guys. :thumbsup:

All the tar files Ive found use a catagory called "1" - aka none. Too much to overhaul really. Either way, you'd have to manually configure every game. Morning :) From what i can see there are all ready two categories hard coded into the arcade - 'weird games' & 'arcade games' - however I can see no way to enter these even in phpmyadmin - the iarcade_gamecats table only has one field and no index, whereas when one clicks on say 'weird games' it tries to access the category of weird. Where does the database store both weird & weird games? As far as I can see from the tables they do not exist, hence my thought that they are hard coded. I created two categories and putting one game in 'category 1' and another in 'category 2', but these do not show up anywhere. Should they be displayed somewhere on the screen?

legionaire Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 One of the games you uploaded is not in the standard TAR format that is why you are seeing the crazy characters. ALL games must be in a TAR format not rar or zip I found one of the games I tried to upload had a .tar extension but was converted incorrectly, I am guessing someone zipped it up and tried to rename it to tar
.Ian Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Hopefully Collin and Andy do not mind, but I have altered my copy of the script so that it is now possible to update the categories from the edit game page.

Don't mind at all, drop me a PM if you are willing to contribute this code back to everyone. :)
