False url used to save points

[ragtek]

I'm getting this error msg after playing a game:
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost/xftest/arcade.php"

I haven't activated any url rewriting, so my url is:
http://localhost/xftest/index.php?arcade/asteroids.1/play

but the game is trying to send the data to
http://localhost/xftest/arcade.php"

Since there is no physical file named "arcade.php" (which is needed for some of the games) the XF rewrite rules need to be in place so that it can be handled via a route.

ok found it http://xfarcade.com/threads/no-game-scores-are-being-saved.141/

edit: thx

Wouldn't it be possible to create a arcade.php which redirects to the needed url?

or probably better=> which handles the save

Perhaps but the problem would still then exist for games that postback to "index.php" in the folder instead of "arcade.php" for other games.

To clarify... games that are using AS for "v3 Arcade" games post back to a file named "arcade.php" for some functions & saving their scores. IPB games on the other hand post back to "index.php" for their functions & saving their scores. A physical file named "arcade.php" would help out with v3A games but not with IPB games. There are a few different types of IPB games and most admins prefer IPB v32 games because their scores are a bit trickier to fake. v3A formatted games are out there but there are hardly any new games created using the v3A AS because the IPB v32 AS has become pretty widely adopted.

Except for the handful of demo games that come with XFA in v3A format I think most admins are using IPB games.

Hm, probably (haven't checked the code and have no clue how the arcade stuff is working, it's the first time that somebody explained me the difference between the ipb and v32 games) a own arcade.php would fix all this stuff including /arcade = works | /arcade.php = NOPE

Hey rag, the issue in that thread is fully resolved with the use if correct nginx rewrites.

Not really because i have apache2 and not nginx installed on my computer.

Can't you use the rewites that come with xf?
