Bug vbArcade Having Trouble Installing

[LRReaper]

Hello! Well I really liked how the arcade was and I wanted to install the lite version to have a go at it. So I put all the files that I need in the FTP and then went to go install the plugin and I received the error:

# Place this code into the top of http://www.life-revived.com/.htaccess so certain games can process scores, then try importing again:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

# If vbulletin is in a subdirectory, add it here
RewriteBase /

# Retrieve gamedata requests and send to new dbtech locations
RewriteRule ^arcade/gamedata/(.*) dbtech/vbarcade/media/$1 [L]

# Retrieve crossdomain requests and send to new dbtech location
RewriteRule ^crossdomain\.xml dbtech/vbarcade/crossdomain.xml [L]

# Send hardcoded pnf+ipa scores to arcade instead
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} func=storeScore [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} autocom=arcade [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=Arcade
RewriteRule .* arcade.php [L,QSA]

# Reroute v3arcade liveinstaller
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} do=liveinstall
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} v3arcade_admin\.php

# If you renamed your admincp directory, change it here
RewriteRule .* %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/admincp/arcade_admin.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&do=review&import=browse&system=v3a [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

I'm not really sure what this means so if you could help me out it would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

If you have an existing .htaccess file in your forum root, that code needs to be pasted to the top of it and saved.
If you do NOT have an existing .htaccess file in your forum root, you need to create one and save its contents as that code.

There was already a .htaccess file in the forum root folder public_html so I added "<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on" to it and still gave me the same error. Is there any special permissions I have to give the file? Thanks

The entire thing you quoted in your first post needs to be what you put in the top of your existing .htaccess file

w00t it worked. Got most of it setup but when I get to import games to play in the arcade none of them upload. I set all the files to 777 when the error messages were poping up but those are now gone I just can't import any games from the import built in section and manually. I was looking at the settings also and I see Mochi Publisher ID, Mochi Publisher Secret Key etc.. Do I need to do all that stuff just to download games and import them so our community can play them or? Thank you for the help it is very much appreciated also!

Hi
The Mochisection is for people that have a account on The Largest Network of Online Games – Mochi Media :: Fueling Creativity . You dont need it if you dont want it

Whats the exact Problem on your Arcade ? .htaccess is correctly set ? Like the entire output from the plugin install is in ur .htaccess in forum root ?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

# If vbulletin is in a subdirectory, add it here
RewriteBase /

# Retrieve gamedata requests and send to new dbtech locations
RewriteRule ^arcade/gamedata/(.*) dbtech/vbarcade/media/$1 [L]

# Retrieve crossdomain requests and send to new dbtech location
RewriteRule ^crossdomain\.xml dbtech/vbarcade/crossdomain.xml [L]

# Send hardcoded pnf+ipa scores to arcade instead
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} func=storeScore [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} autocom=arcade [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=Arcade
RewriteRule .* arcade.php [L,QSA]

# Reroute v3arcade liveinstaller
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} do=liveinstall
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} v3arcade_admin\.php

# If you renamed your admincp directory, change it here
RewriteRule .* %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/admincp/arcade_admin.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&do=review&import=browse&system=v3a [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

for importing games , you have to upload the .tar , .zip from ibproarcade or v3arcade into you import folder : /dbtech/vbarcade/import
rights have set to 777 .


After all settings done,you can click import and your newly imported GAmes are in there.

For mochi to work, you need a publisher id and secret filled in, after you register with mochimedia to do so.

The readme for vbarcade lists the folders that need to be chmod 777. If you think you are doing everything right, I will need an admin login and ftp to investigate.

It worked finally! Thank you for the help.

Edit: Forgot to ask also. Is there a way a blocking guests from not using the arcade also? Thanks

Yes, just create a new Permission in vBArcade with None access for Unregistered / Not Logged In usergroup (and any others you want to restrict)
