My hopeless addiction to Mahjong has caused me to install the arcade mod onto the forums. Here's where to play:

Just added a bunch of new games and put an "Arcade" option in the forum menu. Your high scores are recorded into your profile. Most of the games are incredibly lame and I plan to delete the ones that don't get used much. Eventually I'll get around to installing more. If there's a game you'd really like to see on here, let me know. Below is a link to a list of all available games.

I don't know if there's a good Pepper II / Amidar clone... the closest thing I can find on the internet is "Fill it" but that's lame. Actually I've been meaning to get a Colecovision for some time...
Now that my boss left I can get back to what's really important.

oh boy, video games!!!

A few games were added tonight. And I removed a few of the games that didn't work right. I stole the new games from this site (http://www.we-link.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=arcade;start=0). They seem to have a lot of games that I don't. If anyone wants to take a look at that site and suggest some more games for me to take, that'd be great.
SMF Arcade (http://www.smfarcade.net/) only allows games that are approved by the game designer to be posted. If anyone knows where to download more games that are compatible with the SMF scoring thingie, let me know!

At Telcogal's request, there are a few new games in the arcade (http://www.phonelosers.org/forums/index.php?action=arcade)! I'm just kind of picking them at random from some other site and installing them. If anyone wants some specific new games from arcade-only.com (http://www.arcade-only.com/index.php?action=arcade) (or any other SMF Arcade game site you can find), post the URL to the game in this thread and I'll probably add it.

Between Gears of War and Rainbow Six: Vegas, I have no time for any other games.

I upgraded to the latest version of SMF Arcade the other day. It didn't got as smoothly as I would have preferred. It wiped out all the images for the games and so far the only solution I see is to restore each one of them individually. That really sucks. It also doesn't display the Top 3 players anymore. I think to do that I have to use a plugin. I'll mess around with it some more later this week.
-
1.12? Or did they upgrade again?
-
It's 2.something now.
-
Switch to E2.0. It looks a lot nicer. Your icons will come back. The current scores/champs won't import but the games will. People can get their scores back.

The E2.x broke the forums. Something about it not being able to display the games you're a champ of inside your posts. So I downgraded back to SMF Arcade 1.3.1RC1 and that's where I'm staying until they make a final version of 2.
The trophies are back and it's showing what games you're a champ of in the posts. But for some reason, in the high score lists it's not displaying names correctly. I'll try to find a solution to that later today. Also, the thumbnail images still aren't showing up. I added a bunch of them manually last night and I guess I'll have to do that to the rest. Arcade is a pain in the ass.
-
E1.5.1 works fine for me. It displays the thumbs of games you are a champion of inside the posts. Plus the format in the arcade is nice. I just recommended E2 because it was the newest release. Maybe it is bleeding edge.
If you give me an ftp login and arcade perms I'll install a bunch of games for you. But you should definately fix the arcade first.

I looks good, but what happened to all the game icons?

Yeah, maybe I've just modded my forums too much and it's causing problems. I'm going to work on some arcade stuff again tonight. I think I'm just going to stick to whatever 1.x I've got up right now. Hopefully I can find a solution to the high score names not displaying on their forums.
What forums do you run?

What forums do you run?
Why don't I just post all my personal contact information as well as my colleagues and friends? Hahaha
Seriously I don't run any sites that anyone here would care about...
What happened is the new version of SMF arcade removed all the nice blocks at the top and other nice features until they can work out the bugs. Those will be back in the next release. So yeah, the older version looks nicer for now.
With the new arcade you can install large numbers of games instantly, but you have to enter icon info after install. In the version I set up it was a tedious install for each game but then the icons worked.
Here is an sql query you can use to get your icons back:
update smf_arcade_games
set thumbnail = CONCAT(smf_arcade_games.internalName,'.gif')This will set all the icons to be the same name as the the game filename .gif
If you used the old icons that were like filename1.gif for the big one and filename2.gif for the small icon then just change the code to be:
update smf_arcade_games
set thumbnail = CONCAT(smf_arcade_games.internalName,'1.gif')Or use a file renamer.
I just found this on the smf forums and it worked like a charm :)

Thanks for the sql query thing. I actually saw that on the SMF forums too and I would have tried it out then, but I didn't have access to my database. I switched some things around tonight so I can actually do things with the database tonight and I attempted that query. But for some reason, it didn't work. It returned this:
Affected rows: 128 (Query took 0.0055 sec)
So it LOOKS like it worked. But the icons still aren't there. The boxes for the thumbnail names are still blank. And yes, I used the correct one of the two that you suggested. And I was all excited about doing my very first sql query ever. Oh well. I'm going to manually put all the thumbnails in there right now. Then I'll work on making the top score names display like they're supposed to.
