Arcade section

[link598]

i have an idea to make the Hive grow.

i was thinking of an arcade section when you play arcade in the hiveworkshop.There will be tournaments in some of the arcade game.you can add favorite game in your ur cp.There be cassic game and new game.

So what do you think of this idea.

I don't really think this is a good idea. It's a little too far-fetched for THW. Remember, this is a WC3 modding website, not a game creation website.

 

[Sansui]

I do not think it would be a good Idea.
A simple website is a better website.
As soon as you deviate from the original intention of the website it becomes a mess.

 

[Gilles]

Have fun convincing Ralle.

 

[madcat2]

I'm, not to sure because its a site based on warcraft-3, that and ralle would have to buy the arcade contract and etc. But we can't be sure its up to him to decide.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Actually ,many modding,debating,game forums have they're own arcade section

I'm with link ,it will be a good idea if we have an arcade section

 

[Kuhneghetz]

You can always post arcade game stuffs in the Console section. It's close enough.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

I would love an arcade section. And most message boards come with the feature to add in an Acrade, dont they? Well, mine does anyway. It would be cool, getting high scores and such. And its a better way for some users who are waiting for a reply or something and stay in the site rather then loiter in the chat room.


Better yet, if an arcade AND chat room could be combined, it would be cool. It could be like a "Lounge". And even multiplayer?!!


Ok im getting over my own head here.

 

[EatShrooms]

 

[DesKaladA]

Well.....

This is possible but i dont feel a good idea
Ulnless there where warcraft themed games (withch someone (most likly me) would need to program)
Evan then i dont like using ACarde Mains and Fla because they have soo many bugs in them

 

[NearbyHermit]

It is possible,but Ralle is making the Wow section now,he is trying to resurrect WC3sear.ch,and needs old models from WC3sear.ch.

His to do list is very full,so not this year

 

[DesKaladA]

Ya Ralle has soo much stuff on his plate
lets just hold off until most of its gone

 

[Eleandor]

I don't see how the Hive would benefit from this....

 

[DesKaladA]

Same

if you want a arcade section
maby join a clan?
STN is goning to get one soon

 

[NearbyHermit]

Or go here and be a good member,dont upset the admins especially Shincib
www.diablo2.com

 

[Gilles]

Notice no mods or Admins have posted here? lol

 

[~Void~]

I really don't think this will ever happen, nor do I particularly want it to...

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Ok, let's realisticly put this on a scale of the likelihood of this being done.

A big fat 0

 

[madcat2]

Don't call the zero fat it has feelings too! j/k

*Bump*

Ok i bump this thread for good information.

ibProArcade is compatible to ibProArcade-Games (*wow* surprise!), v3arcade-Games and PNflashgames (www.pnflashgames.com, use POSTNUKE format).
PNflashgames does even offer Multiplayer-Games.


This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x) with all the same Scripts !


Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.0
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

* For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.9+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
* For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
* For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):

Enjoy

So what dose this mean is Ralle won't have to code the site for an arcade section he has to do is download it and do the rest.So he can have more time doing in this to do list.

 

[HINDYhat]

Getting an arcade section just means getting more retarded users.

I vote nay.

 

[Dr Super Good]

It still would take time to install such a section even with that pre made expansion. Currently I see little need for it as only a hand full of people can make flash games here and even fewer will bother to make them.

 

[Ghan_04]

Show me a vBulletin plugin version of WE and I'll be impressed.

An arcade would only take away from the main purpose of this site, which is to get help on projects and things to do with WE and Warcraft III.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Ah,it is true,Hive already has a community of ''idiots'' ,pardon the term.Getting an arcade will add more of them to the list,I'm sorry link,but Hive is dealing with them since the BIG-MERGE.

1-Resource User-they register only to submit resources
2-Spammer-The pest of Hive
3-Requester-registers only to complain and to make the mod's days more dark
4-Hacker-Who would sell Hive,hack inside
5-Flamer,Troll-The name says it all


Various types of forum outlaws,I'm telling you that we the ones who do good on Hive are in minority

You want the hive to grow or stay that way.

Well ralle can get the file and install arcade section in his file.We can get some flash game from other site like miniclip.

I seen wc3 modding site with an arcade section and people use it and ask help on wc3.

I don't like the term 'idiots' i say more confuse.
1.Resource User-There contributing the site by senting resource
2.Spammer-Spammer are gone like alotofgarbage,Eggy,Etc
3.Requester-We have a request section and we don't have to do there request.
4.Hacker-There been no news about the hive getting hack by a hacker aspect 1 time.
5.Flamer,Troll-Most of the troll are globe ignore and flamer they should get infraction.

Why the hell would there be an arcade section? Those are meant for other sites, not this one

 

[brad.dude03]

I concur, an arcade does not fit in with this site at all. Though we do have off-topic sections, the general purpose of thisd site is still Warcraft 3, and that would be detracted from by an arcade section.

 

[Wolverabid]

Well, for my own part, I'm kinda with link and Steel on this one. More forums and/or cool features always translates into more activity and may also draw in new users to our community (that's a GOOD thing providing such new members behave decently). I'm also in favor of anything that adds more pure fun factor to a site.

The aforementioned points are well noted and shall be carefully considered.

In the end, it'll be up to the Chieftain to approve and implement such a feature.

I fail to see how.

I don't think this is going to happen.

Well......

I do beleve Mini-Me are the only people who can acutally program flash games (i dont because i really dont feel like it)

I know that there will be "I WANT THISZ GAME MAKE IT NOOBZ" threds. so unless you give VERRY good resons for these to be filled this wont become a site project it will become shit, verry verry fast

Infestations Forums had a Arcade Section, we have no idea what to do with it..

 

[NearbyHermit]

Yes I say it is pointless

 

[Gilles]

DesK, remember, Mini-Me left.

Why the heck would we want an arcade for? If you want something like that, just make a forum for internet gaming. Then link to good games. I don't want users coming to the site to play games. This is a wc3 modding site, and so all members should be wc3 modders.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I think the only adds would be that Flash Wc3 TD game..

 

[DesKaladA]

dont forget sc2 modders (when it comes out)

BUT

I know that users will want more games and the staff will force me into makein them

 

[link598]

Force you! i didn't mean member to make a warcraft arcade style.I meant that the admin can get arcade game like PAC-man,etc and put them in the arcade section.Not make them to warcraft.

 

[DesKaladA]

"Ohh but you did Rufio"

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Can't you see this isn't gonna happen? I experience minor connection problems with THW as it is, constantly saying it is busy or down so having an arcade would bring in more problems like that.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Off-Topic: When we vote yes for this, the server will get overloaded so Ralle disepears so noobs and Dotards can strike!

That has already happened and Ralle hasn't even dissapeared...

/me looks at TDB.

*Brad.Dude03 glares at Kaitech[SanD]*

Desk, no one wants you to make anything, stop trying to play it like you don't desperately want us to value your questionable skills.

Indeed,we waited enough,though
