MochiGames support?

Hi guys,

I have been trying to get MochiGames to work since the beginning but ran out of time. Should we implement it?

As a side note, I'm also implementing an importer to import game packages. Should fix the problem installing some IPB games...
 
This has been BY FAR the most requested thing. That and easier loading of games.
Edrondol sums it up best. With v3 Arcade for vBulletin we had a pretty slick interface for installing Mochi games directly from the ACP; if you'd like to use any code from v3A in XFA, it shouldn't be a problem. I used to own v3A before retiring from the vB world and gave the rights to v3A to Brian at vBadvanced with one of the few provisions being that XFA can use v3A snippets of code as needed.

I remember playing with the interface long time ago. There is a search box to search for game with filter by category. Is that right? Couldn't setup a vBulletin installation atm to test it right now... I also checked the API, it's pretty simple anyway :D

Correct. :smiley: If I recall correctly (it has been a few years) the feeds in the ACP were coming from XML feeds from Mochi that were than cached locally. Some of the feeds are huge so there were performance concerns with trying to do everything real-time. There is also an option in v3A to install games directly from the Mochi web site (you can configure your Mochi account to point to an install URL). Getting both options into XFA at the same time might be a lot to undertake.

If you want to get a vB install up & running to test with, just let me know. :smiley: I may not have any free time these days but I do have a dedicated server that I'm using for my stuff and I also have several vB licenses so we can get a vB test site up & running if you're interested.
 
You guys have no idea how excited I am to see your names associated with this project. I have several of your mods on my site (paid & free) and have nothing but absolute confidence in your abilities to bring forth a quality product.

I haven't been this excited for something in a long time!
 
Hey Kevin, I have just pushed a couple of commits to add Mochi support, can you do some quick test then upload the .zip package for others to test?

Some information:
  • It is required to configure the MochiMedia Publisher ID + secret key in AdminCP > Options (to earn ads impression)
  • Game can be imported by uploading the game zip file just like importing Core/IPB packages. Admins can easily download game zip file from MochiMedia website.
  • New importing option is available in the AdminCP sidebar "Import MochiMedia Games"
    • Supports filters to browse MochiMedia catalog
    • Supports queuing multiple games to import at once
 
Ooh, sorry Edrondol and stewart1champ, I thought Kevin would be fairly quick. Anyway, packaged it myself here. Consider it an unofficial version :D This package includes the latest change in the code repository (Kevin's navbar option + Darkimmortal's style changes) FYI.

So far, import works fine from using built in search, as well as downloading from that site.

Suggestion... some of the descriptions are rather long:

I am sure Kevin will have that taken care of with the tooltip thingy.

Also... keep seeing this:

Will these eventually be added? The "You've Been Defeated" seems like for use as an alert is better than a PM, or heck, maybe even both (or choice :P)
The seal is an awesome addition, maybe an overlay on postbit, or a trophy up in the corner somehow?

Not sure what can be done.... Or maybe simply somewhere on the profile page.

Anywho, food for thought.
