arcademachines

Provides local and hosted HTML5 games through configurable arcade cabinets. Prices use Core’s configured currency. Define every title in Config.Games, then enable its ID in each cabinet’s games table. A game omitted from a cabinet is not shown there. For hosted games: 1. Use a direct HTTPS iframe-compatible HTML5 game URL. 2. Add its host to Config.ExternalAllowedHosts. 3. Add a kind = 'external' game entry. 4. Enable its ID on the required cabinets. Unreachable or iframe-blocked hosted games are excluded automatically. Local games remain available. Upstream hosted-game licences are listed in EXTERNALGAMES.md. Restart arcademachines after catalogue changes.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm all manifest dependencies are started before arcademachines.
  • Check the supplied start-order note above; resources absent from server.cfg need an explicit decision before enabling.
  • If database queries fail, import the consolidated Base SQL and any resource-local SQL listed above.
  • If the UI fails, verify the resource's NUI files and ui_page when one is declared.
