Items / Re: Arcade Pass Item and SMF Arcade Integration

« on: April 05, 2007, 08:07:58 pm »

I use this mod a lot so I'll take the liberty of answering without waiting for Hambil:

I have all my games set up with different groups able to access, if I switch off 'game permissions' so that permissions says 'none' then use your arcade pass, will that mean that you only need to purchase the pass to play?

(I dont want to have to go through all the games and uncheck boxes)

Yes...exactly that. Permissions are cumulative...if you have additional permissions set up as well as the pass then to play a member will have to fulfil all the permissions.

Does it tell you anywhere that you are getting money from the shop?  I've been testing it but I dont see anything when you get a high score to say that you are being rewarded - though I am.

No...maybe you can persuade Daniel to make that part of the shop mod...BTW the shop mod doesn't tell you when you get credits for posting either and that would, presumably, be part of the same system were it to be added.

Another question, is there any way to tell who is using an arcade pass?

If they buy it and its in their inventory ,no worries, I can see that, but if they use the item, then it disappears from their inventory.

I just wondered how I can tell who bought the passes and is using them, and how long they have access for, as I have several passes available?

 Again this would have to be part of the shop system rather than the arcade pass mod...for instance you can't tell that somebody has bought and is using any other mod unless it makes a visible (to you) alteration.

 On my own forums I keep the number of passes down to just over the number of members then let some buy several and put them up as trade items for an inflated price. Once more than 5% of the members can't afford to pay for a pass I add some more to the shop...it makes life interesting as for a time those who were offering passes to trade made a killing but then their stock loses its value when supply and demand get more into line.

I would suggest that you avoid glow anyway...it is an I.E. thing and probably won't work in other browsers...Microsoft haven't cleared the code with the W3C who control the standards for such code thus they are in the wrong for encouraging its use and the other browser systems are correct in not supporting it.

You need to install the first pet version, THEN install 0.1, as it's an update.

It's still saying the package is corrupt. Is it a package where I have to just add the unzipped files to the pets directory and overwrite some files, or should it work in the forum package manager? I didn't see any instructions on the download page.

Forum package manager for both the original and the upgrade. Have you tried getting the packages via a different browser...that sometimes helps.

 I'm getting exactly the same problems as perplexed has reported...fair enough I can get around them the same way he will but I suspect that they may be php version related...I'm running on php5.2.1 and have quite a few undefined index and undefined constant errors in my error log. I've edited all the pet items to remove line 2 entirely and also one of the brackets at the end of each file so as to avoid a flurry of undefined constant reports from them but am left with reports as below:

Undefined index: shop_buy_message
File: /home/****/emptySMF/Sources/shop/Shop-Pets.php
Line: 146

Use of undefined constant skill - assumed 'skill'
File: /home/****/emptySMF/Sources/shop/pet_engine.php
Line: 481

Use of undefined constant petTemplate - assumed 'petTemplate'
File: /home/****/emptySMF/Sources/shop/pet_engine.php
Line: 33

 Is it possible that the php version I'm running on is the cause of these errors and if so could some kind person point me towards a solution for them (or if they're really kind give me the fixed code...if you don't ask you don't get.)

BTW I'm using a test forum with nothing bar the shop and errors at top mods installed and haven't altered the files mentioned in the error log...running the pets upgrade too.

 Thanks
