For vBShout and Advanced Post Thanks/Likes I already have the lite version, does this make installation simpler?(eg no upload but xml) or do I have to completely restart with those, will my settings/existing stats from teh Lite versions carry over?

for vBArcade will this plugin put any notable stress on my server?
will all games from "mochi, armor, kongregate, v3arcade, ibproarcade and more" work? or will I have to keep an eye open for special games? how do I add these games and will scoring work for the majority of games properly? what do I need to look out for for the scoring system to work properly? I assume the games are referenced from other sites or do I actually have to upload them? I would appreciate it if you could link me to a walkthrough for say importing a game from Kongregate so I can check out the process

and what sort of bulk discounts could I get for buying these 3 at once?

Installs upgrade fine from Lite to Pro, so no additional work except to make sure the Pro features are setup as you need them.

I've not noticed any increase in workload on the server with my install of it. I would say though that a lot depends on exactly what server setup you are running. A good VPS or dedicated server can run all the modifications we produce with no issues.

The games from Mochi, Armor and Kongrgate install very easily. v3Arcade and ibProArcade require you to upload via FTP, but the install works easily. Scoring works fine for the vast majority and Darkwaltz4 is good at making sure that any issues are resolved quickly. The latest versions (v2) deal with a number of issues that there have been problematic so all the games I've tested and used work.

There is a manual: https://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/docs/vbarcade/. It's in the process of being updated from v1 to v2, so some things have change, but the major install processes for games are all there.

and what sort of bulk discounts could I get for buying these 3 at once?
Cosmic or Fillip H. will have a better idea on what is currently available in terms of offers and bundles.


Hope that helps.

I would have prefered to simply embed them rather then have them actually on my server, but I suppose I can manage this

The v3Arcade and ibProArcade are local. I'm not 100% sure on the others as I only use Mochi (tested the others) and not sure whether they are streamed or held locally. Darkwaltz4 can confirm.

The upgrade process between lite/pro is easy, but you do still have to upload the new files.

With the arcade, the games that have local scoring are marked clearly when you are browsing/importing them so you can only pick games that allow local scoring if you wish. Obviously we can't guarantee any individual games will work since we don't make them, but the vast majority of games work fine in our experience.

Uploading a game to your server,is no different to taking a feed, you will still have the games on your server...
 
That is correct. Load the files to the server overwriting any previous files, then import the xml allowing overwrite. :D
