Some news from around SMF. WebDev is making great progress on a few mods. EhPortal is coming along great. As well as the Arcade. Both can be used on the new version of SMF 2.1 This portal and the arcade mod are still in beta/rc but are functional and have very few bugs. Also in the works over there is a mod called Zhen Mailer. This mod helps with backing up your site.

There are a few more mods available over there at WebDev. I suggest that, if you have a moment or three you pop on over and say hey to Chen Zhen and see what is goin on. Maybe if you get involved in the beta program you can test out some updated versions of his hard work.

He works hard on his mods and does great work!

[Bigguy]

He does so. I may put the arcade up here. Still have not made up my mind on that. I know it would not get used alot but it would be fun to have.

Webdev looks to be going strong. I noticed a new version of the arcade there that is in RC state. That might be interesting to try. I didn't see whether or not his battle mod was update for 2.1 yet. Anyone have any ideas.

[Skhilled]

Sorry, meant to respond to this earlier. LOL AFAIK, Battle has not been updated lately but I could be wrong. I haven't been checking in a lot lately. Lately, the arcade has been the most attention.

If you are a beta tester you can see what is coming up next. I do know he's been busy lately with life and some coding.

[Bigguy]

I am a beta tester and may put the arcade on this site shortly, not to sure. I didn't look to hard at Battle but it is a good game. I'll have to go back over and check it out.

[Skhilled]

I thought you were but didn't check. The beta section in the downloads is the only place for the RC versions.

[Bigguy]

You might see it on here soon.

[Bigguy]

No arcade for now. Seems to be a problem either with the package or the manager.

[Skhilled]

For now, I'd suggest sticking with the stable arcade version until things settle with the smf upgrading for awhile.

[Bigguy]

There was a problem on GH about SMF not playin nice with some .zip files. I'm wondering if this is what I ran into.

[Skhilled]

Possibly, I created a test site but have only installed the stable version and not any RC versions yet.

[Bigguy]

I'll do a bit more testing when I get home.

[Skhilled]

I've installed another test site with 2.0.19, then upgraded it to 2.1.1 then installed the stable arcade 2.6.7 and all was good after installing one game. LOL Haven't installed any RC versions yet.

I have been running the Beta version now since 2019, I upgrade whenever Chen puts it up. I think, not sure but maybe only 3 or 4 doing the testing, and reporting.

Check it out Geoff, there are going to be some major changes to the arcade.
