I also upgraded yesterday, very hesitant about doing it, but I did. I got quite a few notices about skins not going to work, some mod's will not work.

Seems anymore all IPS is interested in is making money. IPS has come a long way from the old invision forums, but they are getting to dam expansive to maintain.. I go in the big deep hole keeping my arcade going. Paying out every couple of months for updates and VPS Hosting on top of it all.

I didn't know that bfaber didn't work thy any longer.

I sure wish our arcade would work with phpBB, they have some cool skins and mod's, best part all free software.

I see most are in agreement. Now we are starting  to get someplace.  no buts about it.

All my 56,942 game were free to all to download, with no limits.

I was asked by a coder to stop downloads of their games, I respect this, and so did stop downloads. In fact I thought it was of best interest for all coders, if I stopped downloads from their categories.

Until all of us can resolve this serious issue, I will reopen all my arcade games for downloading, but the ones by request, will remain, non downloadable.

If any arcade owner, ever thinks he/she will make money from donations, I think they are delusional. Since my opening of the arcade forum, I am in the deep hole. Only ones making money are IPB and there modder's.

I have to give credit to oak (Glenn) if it were not for Glenn buying games from most arcade owners, we would not have as many games to share with others. Yes Glenn has put out a lot of money to purchase games.

I feel all games should be free for downloading on all arcade forums, called sharing, helping others.

As Masodo says: "Ce qui est à moi est à toi"

Sounds great, it sure would spice up any arcade forum. It would allow the members to work towards a goal.

Perhaps if I knew the name of the game I might be able to find it

There are some games called Baby Hazel Garden Free online games at Agame.com but i don't see any for downloading.

Doesn't matter what I have, I'll go with what is there.

This must be something new in IPS as we normally set up notifications in Arcade Main Settings -> Notifications

Yea probably is new, this is where I get the error. In the Arcade itself you can set the notifications with no problems.

OK grab a beer and sit and wait.

@Ronald i got same error message

 

Error: Call to undefined method IPS\arcade\extensions\core\Notifications\arcade::configurationOptions() (0)
#0 /home/oldlrhvz/public_html/ipb/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(90): IPS\core\modules\admin\membersettings\_notifications->edit()

I can save all notifications (edit) without problem, but not arcade notifications.

GMP PHP extension think has nothing to do with that error

OK this is the same as my problem, so now any idea what is causing this?

You mean arcade notifications under Main setting? (there are no member settings)

I just checked and no errors when save or changed some setting!

 

 

I find it under Members, Member Settings, Notifications, then Arcade Notifications. Now while I am in this page IPS has a notice for:  

What is  GMP PHP extension, apparently my Host doesn't have it installed.

No members are getting any Arcade Notifications. When I am in the Member Settings under  Arcade Notifications and I try to enable it I get this error. 

See image: 

Not sure if it the Arcade or IPS 

Any thoughts on this?

Honestly, there is no reason to update everyday.  The ruffle emulator is available for anyone to install directly into Firefox and Chrome

 

Firefox addon can be found here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-player-emulator/

 

Chrome addon can be found here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/flash-player-for-web-2021/kajnfloacekelnfgckmnnkeeaajfkeja?hl=en-US

 

They are self installing add ons that run on ruffle, so there will be no need to install ruffle on your server anymore.  And both of these emulators are supported by both Firefox and Chrome

Then why does Ruffle keep updating.? Myself I use Edge browser.

Thanks for the response, guess it's good to know.

You can right click on a game, and see the last time ruffle was installed or updated.

My questions is: should ruffle be updated daily, every few days, or doesn't matter.

I see some going back to Jan 2021.

Now, anyone know the differences in the updates, just  what is in the update. I update ruffle every time a new update comes out, yet my arcade games on my forum, play the same as other arcade forums, that have never updated.

This puzzles me..Looking for some good advice and answers.

So far so good.

Thanks

I have been running 7.4 for some time now. Installed the updated arcade. No problems.

Better lock this Legion, before Marco has a heart attack.

Those games are hard coded with a domain list of who can use the game and who cannot, and then the game is encoded so that you cannot change it, so the answer is you cannot remove it unless you can decode it

OK I understand, I am on her sh_t list. Thats why I banned her and all her proxies.

Is there a program for coding and decoding.

I can play this game on this arcade Halloween Bubble Shooter LP, yet I downloaded and installed on my arcade forum, and when it opens, it say game is blocked from ronaldsarcade.com

It is a fanfan game

Any ideas how to remove the block from the game.

Not quite sure why you want to separate the two

I have my reasons, can't put them on the open forum.

Group permissions are set on a category basis, you cannot say VIP has access to all HTML and no FLASH

OK . So there is no way to setup a Member Group to just see Flash Games. Wowie, just checked my Categories, I could make one member group and give permissions to flash games only, but I have a lot of Categories.

In the Arcade is it possible to setup certain member group to see say just flash games or just H5 games, both not both.

If so how is it done.

Got them backed up and saved for later.

Actually just trying to make playing the arcade a little easier, without all the hassle of a special theme skin and special browsers. Gts to be a pain in the butt changing all the time.

Finally took the plunge eh ?

Got my test board installed this morning, by noon I was installing a arcade and a couple of plugins and a couple of themes. Then I upgraded thetest board. All went well, no errors so far.

After dinner I upgraded my live forum, all went well as expected.

Thanks to all for the help and good advice.
