???? There are 20 games to choose from.

Make a bundle.

The currency column is the name you have defined as your currency.

usually bundles mean they're bundled together, but okay to buy them all individually, you get a discount if you use the bundle coupon only with a batch number of games, ok.

So for points, you mean if we don't have any additional points addons installed, we must go into the database and create a new column typically under user table with a custom point name so you don't get the error below? or am i mistaken?

Does it support games from other arcades or locked to only the games you sell?

EG: v2, v3 flash/html5 games from ipbarcade and others.

If I "bundled" games together you are inevitably going to have users unsatisfied with the "bundle" and request game substitutions.

You cant just make up a column.. It needs to exist. I see you are using credits AND points, you could have used either column.

Its not bound to just games I make, but that doesnt mean you can just drop some arbitrary file in and expect it to run. I never made claims to such and its fantasy to think that it would.

No different to them wanting the same with a single game :unsure:

Maybe note that in the arcade settings page or in a faq or somewhere, that you may need another paid addon to use it.
I noticed you can empty the field and it stops the error, but does that mean the arcade works without a credit/points system or is it reliant on it?.

Will you be releasing more games, and is there any extra measure needed to submit a score bar sending a post request with {url},{score},{state} to {url}/arcade-play/{gameID}/record and if so, will you be documenting them and what are the rules around adding games to your addon.

Thanks for getting back to me (y)

No idea what this is supposed to mean

You dont need another addon. You had points that you could have used.

will you be documenting them and what are the rules around adding games to your addon.

As I stated earlier, add your own games to your hearts content. You have the game template to allow you to replicate it.

What template?

If you mean..
  • game.js
  • game.html
  • game.json
these are all custom fit for the games you have added, they're no templates.

You ask on their forum what is the required format for the game files and you get nothing but AI abuse and disdain.

They tell you to learn how the arcade works with zero documentation and zero forum/FAQ/help pages on the subject.

This arcade addon is not very user friendly, nor is the developer it seems.

Requested a refund not even 24 hours of purchase.
 
This guy..

first off this guy bought an addon in an entirely seperate category from the arcade and wondered why it didnt work in the arcade. Apparently (according to him) every addon developed needs to be notated that it doesnt work in the arcade.

Now on to the arcade...

This guy wants to develop his own games but thinks I need to hold his hand through the process of understanding how the code operates. He has been explained that he has the games and to use them as templates to develop his own. Now when his attempt at custom games fails to work he throws a fit and demands a refund.

The script works exactly as stated. This guy cant manipulate it the way he wants and is having a tantrum.

Anyone who deals with this guy needs to beware that he will take your product, whine about it, then ask for a refund. This guy should be banned simply for lying to his payment processor asking for a refund when he was told repeatedly what the script does and what it doesnt do.

Yes, don't be a customer and ask questions then get annoyed by crap replies, because it's what you paid for right.

The audacity.

They have a addon named after a game in their "shop" with no title or label or prefix or anything saying it's a game nor a addon and wonder how someone may think it's one of the games for the arcade addon, again the audacity.

"This Guy" says you can add "other games" and gets asked how and replies, learn how the program works.

No documentation, guidelines/help pages/forum posts .. nothing .. just backwards engineer the addon mate :rolleyes:

Yet i should be banned for stating the obvious :ROFLMAO:

So attempts to add a html/js game, free flappy bird clone and not me wanting to develop my own games, not sure where that came from and gets told you're not doing it right but refuses to say what is being done wrong.

They have one single error for all game upload failures, "failed to load game.json" even their own ones and say that's our fault, no try or catch here I'm afraid.

But remember, adding other games can be done but the script can't do it because it's out of the scripts stated ability.

It's likely they don't want you to add games so you're bound to buy their "prepared" games, fine but just come out and say it.

Anybody thinking about adding their own selection of games in this addon, forget about it.

Remember the statement "You're not tied to anything" above but everything it seems.

Said you can add your own games, wasn't true, false advertising.

Anybody is free to try it but i won't be going near it going forward.

Customer -1

So you paid to extend a script outside its advertised use? Never happened. Just because you can do something doesnt mean I am required to support your efforts.

Any Xenforo developer who wishes to see the game templates is more then welcome to approach me and I will show them the templates so they can verify. The vast majority of it is all recycled code game to game. They will spot the patterns in 5 minutes.

You got this idea in your head that you can drop in a zip file and somehow its magically going to start working.

And as far as your ban? If you think you can lie to your CC because you couldnt extend the script beyond its stated purpose and ask for a refund, yes you should be banned from here. Every developer on here will understand what you are doing is deceptive and outright fraudulent.
 
I have to come to the defense of Blatchy here. He has been nothing but supportive for me when I have had questions about ANY of his addons. The Arcade system is a breeze to use and i figured it out in less than 3 minutes. For any member to throw a hissy fit because it doesn't work the way THEY would like or because THEY cannot manage to develop a game for it, is just ridiculous. I for one will be supporting Blatchy in all his efforts. I hope the developer community supports him too.
