How can i add an arcade with leaderboard?

anyone know how i can add a arcade with a leaderboard for the users?

i think you can only get that mod if your forum has a cash mod on it.

iv tried to find this for my forum but everywhere i look it Say's that you can only get it if you got cash mod.

well i could be wrong but that's all iv found

or the only other way is to do it is make your own arcade then do the points manually with a points system put that is a lot of work

Hello tomtm & xemilyx,

I just recently added an arcade with leaderboards to my website. The following is required:

- A free hosting provider (I'm currently using 12GbFree, but there are many out there.)

- PHP-Quick-Arcade script (this is the actual software that will become your arcade. Click here)

- A link on your forums to access the arcade.

This method will require you to download the script and upload the files to the hosting provider of your choice. Make sure you read and understand all the documentation that the developer has to offer. Otherwise, your arcade might not function the way it's supposed to. Below is a link to the script's official website.

PHP-Quick-Arcade

cool ill check it out

OK I'm lost lol iv down loaded it then wot do i do? lol

Now you need to create an account on a free hosting website and upload the folders and files to your account directory. They must remain in the same order as they appear on your computer.

This won't be a walk in the park if you aren't familiar with FTP uploading and MySQL. An easier method did exist; unfortunately the developer cancelled the service.

Here is the script's official documentation Wiki. Click here

i don't have a clue about any of that lol sham as i really wonted that

could someone help me install it please?

ya me to

grrrrrr this has been doing my head in for days lol ,i have downloaded and uploaded to a host but my arcade has no skins no pics and the games don't work. I have asked for help in the arcade forum ,but i have done everything they keep telling me and its still not working . Its really annoying me now lol.

I have uploaded to the 12gbfree.com site, but when i run the install file i get this

when i try any of the links i get a http404 not found error

can anyone please offer any insight

thank you

Hello noideay,

Before you run the install file, you must first create a MySql database through your control panel. Have you done this step already?

Second, as mentioned before; you must upload every file exactly the way they appear after unzipping them on your PC.

These are the critical points that I took into account and was able to successfully install the arcade on 12gbfree.

Hi NC

thanks for getting back to me, yes I created the database & uploaded EVERY file in EVERY directory & the directories themselves so that they appeared exactlly as they did in the zip file

not sure where else to go from here - any ideas?

TIA
