I've played 2 games today. When I submitted the score it gave an error that there was a problem with the arcade. The score did not save. Just a heads up. I'll do more testing when I get a chance if you need.

What games and what error?

The error log is showing some issues with the submit system on some games; like this example:

Error while saving score for game "Stunt Dirt Bike". Submit system might be invalid, should be "ibp32" or user tried to cheat.

Made these changes:
Stunt Dirt Bike; changed to IBP Arcade v3.2 ... after the scoring system change it still gives "An error occurred while saving score" (but no errors in the logs, so this one needs some research.)
Tetrollapse; changed to SMF Arcade v1 ... this one now works with no errors.

Only found those two errors and so only made scoring system changes to those two games... let me know if you find issues with any others Brad.

@Steve... any ideas on the Stunt Dirt Bike errors?

It is probably the wrong submit system.

OK, then I should try different settings until one works? Gonna give that a try and see what happens.

I just tried it and it should be v32 but I also see "You need javascript to play this game" while it is loading. The game or /Themes/default/script.js might have the wrong permissions.

Error: You need to enable javascript in order to play games!

Could also just be that particular game needs editing.

Must be the game... just tried all of the Submit System's that are available and none of them work to fix the issue.

When trying to save a score under any system setting it gives the "Submit system might be invalid, should be "ibp32" error.

EDIT: I'll look at the js thing when I'm able to get to my desktop pc... this laptop is not setup to see those files.

I've tried them all too, earlier. If the permissions do not work then it has to be the game itself.

Ken · « **Reply #8 on:** August 15, 2010, 09:12:45 AM »

Just set permissions in the game folder and the js file to 755. (my server is not set to support 777)

And tried changing the scoring system settings again, didn't make any difference.

EDIT: May need to remove the game from the arcade if it's not going to save scores.

try setting the js file to 644.

Did that with the same result.
Ran through all of the game system settings as well after the chmod change.

Figures...just one of those games.

Ken · « **Reply #12 on:** August 15, 2010, 02:29:49 PM »

I'll uninstall and reinstall it later to see if that is helpful, but we may have to just remove it from the Arcade.

Yep those were the games and errors. Thanks for looking into it guys.
