I had this idea of a rep system for my forum where depending upon how much reputation you have a specific image is displayed. So basically... it's a progression. Let's say you have 0 rep at first. This will be accompanied by a specific image, which'll be mostly blank. Now let's say you get 10 rep, not your image will change into something else, a more complete image. It doesn't really matter what the image does, but what I mean by this is that the image starts out with the basics and then parts are added to it as your recieve more rep and "complete" it eventually. The same principle applies to negative rep except the image would be different.

Note: I'm not referring to the existing reputation system of vBulletin. The default system simply has images added together, while I'm talking about a single image only no matter what reputation you have

So... I was wondering if there was a mod of the sort out there. I was looking for something of the kind, but couldn't find anything. I personally don't know how to script, so I can't make one. Would anyone be willing to try this?

You kind of confused me. Let me see if I get this. You want it so if a member has 0 rep, they have an almost blank image. As the rep goes up, the image gets more complete. If that is what you mean, then that sounds pretty simple.

Uhm... if I think what you mean by what you're saying, then yes. But to further confirm it I'll re-explain. Basically I'll have maybe 10 images total for the positive rep, and 10 more for the negative. The 10 images will show progression in their completion, meaning, image1 will only have a little piece of our logo on it, image2 will have another piece added to it, image3 will be even more complete, and so on until image10, which will be a complete logo image with all the parts.

What I'm trying to do is cycle these images as you gain more rep. So when a certain person has rep0, image1 will show up as the image for their rep. When their rep reaches up to, say, 50 points, the image will switch to image2, which will show a more complete logo, and so on. So essentially as the rep increases images are swapped, and due to the nature of the images it will appear as though the image becomes more complete each time.

I'm not yet sure how many images we'll actually have. I said 10 as an example, but this isn't a definite. So if you decide to do this one for me as well and need to know exactly how many images we'll have, let me know and I'll generate the progressions and figure it out for sure. Thanks.
