I would like to see the total game count in the arcade include what games you have in the password protected categories.

My arcade shows 463 games available, but it is not taking into account the 199 that are in the password protected category.

in the next beta ive added this to the stats message, and made it a setting to turn off and save two queries, and also a phrase for it :p
 
New revision 16 - pnflash games were broken!

Lots of scoring stuff improved in this one. pnflash games should now work, but before you upgrade, remove the htaccess stuff from vbarcade so the installer will generate you a new one.
vba now supports decimal rounding of scores / time based scores for games that DO give scores that are times. also fixed gamersafe (anyone tried those out yet? :D)
also show a count of the games in the arcade, as well as being able to turn that whole thing off and save two queries.

It added the htaccess flawlessly, as for the count of game in the arcade you mentioned, is that supposed to include the password protected ones? If so it still does not include those.
 
Ok maybe I don't quite understand then, with a password for a category, in the arcade I show 3994 games, when I remove the password the count shows 4493, taking into account the ones that were previously password protected.
 
(btw - the download thread is locked and is intended for my update posts; not a personal support thread with ozzy xD)

the "all" tab shows (and counts) any games that are uncategorized or that belong to at least one unpassworded category.
so, if the games in the password category have categories that arent passworded, they show up in the all tab.

compare the stat for all games with your initial count at the top of your arcade game editor. (x of y of z) it should match z, since by default it lists all enabled games regardless of category, which is what that stat is.
 
Yes in the arcade game editor it does show the correct count, pass protected and un pass protected.

But originally when I posted this thread I ment in the arcade home to take into account the ones in the pass protected cat.

Lol I would have posted in this thread but you had moved it to resolved, but I see ya took it back out.
 
well im telling you right now, the query to count all games literally only excludes those that are not enabled... ill check your site >.<
 
Ok cool, I hope you don't think I am being a pain in the ass, I just want to make sure everything is working correctly! :p
 
Currently the arcade has 4,493 games that have been played 55 times (9 today) for 6:55:29

Results 1 to 25 of 4,493

its a match. thats correct.

your all tab says: 3,994 games available
your adult tab says: 499 games available
3994+499 = 4493

all of your adult games are ONLY marked as adult, which means they are excluded from your all tab. They WILL NOT show up in the all tab (or be counted there) because that would defeat the purpose of passwording them.
 
:p well not really a pita - just need to make sure you understand.

i cant include passworded games under "all", because it defeats the purpose of putting them under a password.
i cant make "all" display a higher number of games than are being shown, because then it would be confusing, especially if the passworded games largely outnumber the rest.
 
OK I get ya know. I am going to ask something stupid then, you will probably say no :p but here it goes.

On the arcade home where it displays game count above the game panels.

Line 1) 3,994 Games Available Pubicly
Line 2) xxx Games Available Privately

Only reason being, if people see that their is private games, they will ask how to get access to them, I realize I could do this with a post in the forum, but you know how people read sometimes they ignore chit.
