Living Avatars

[subduck]

Introducing Living Avatars!

Today is a great day and I have something really cool that some of you are going to love! It's called Living Avatars, a new vBulletin addon that I've been working on for almost one year.

This program will allow your users to customize their avatars by using the mouse to drag and move items around (items such as clothing pieces, etc). In order to collect items, you need to spend points, the more you post on a forum the more points you get! Thus, Grow your Forum with Living Avatars!

Tour

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/05/15.gif

Here is how it works in detail:

1) Download and install Living Avatars to vBulletin (install instructions below).
2) Once installed, go to the Living Avatars admin panel and click 'forum integration'.
3) The user profiles of your members will now have an extra link:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/05/16.gif

4) Now, the more a user posts on your forum, the more points he or she will earn. If a user has posted 500 times, and then you install Living Avatars, then that user will start with 500 points.

5) Once users have a few points, they can then start spending their points to collect items:

6) Now that they have collected a few items, they can create their ultra cool avatar! Check it out:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/05/18.gif

I highlighted the canvas in red, in that box (the canvas) you can use your mouse to drag items around. It seriously works beautifully.

7) Now, press the 'Save Avatar' button and your avatar on vBulletin will be updated:

And that's it! Cool yeah?!

Ok, so on with the install instructions:

Installation Instructions
Installation is very simple, just follow these steps and you shouldn't have any problems (if so, then I'm sorry and I'll try and help you out asap!).

1) Download & Extract living_avatars.zip
2) FTP the living_avatars folder to your forum
Example: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/living_avatars/
3) Run Setup: forum/living_avatars/setup/
4) CHMOD the Living Avatars 'avatars' folder to 777 (this folder: /living_avatars/avatars/)
5) Delete the setup folder (/living_avatars/setup/)

Now that Living Avatars is installed, go to the admin panel of Living Avatars and click the 'Forum Integration' link, from there you can press one link which will update the vBulletin modifyavatar template to insert the Living Avatars link.

Upgrade Instructions

1) Download & Extract living_avatars.zip
2) FTP the living_avatars folder to your forum (overwriting previous Living Avatar files)
Example: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/living_avatars/
3) Run Setup: living_avatars/setup/
4) Delete the setup folder (/living_avatars/setup/)

Uninstall Instructions
1) If you enabled the forum integration link from the LA Admin Panel, then login to the LA Admin Panel and disable it.

2) Drop these tables:
la_admins
la_avatars
la_groups
la_items
la_items_purchased
la_packs
la_points_spent
la_positions
la_settings

3) Delete the living_avatars/ folder.

Why should I use Living Avatars?
"Grow your forum with Living Avatars" - Simply that! Not only is Living Avatars a lot of fun to use but it's also addicting. Users will want to post on your site in order to gain enough 'points' to purchase a certain item (ex: Sword of Doom!). Imagine having certain items that are rare & expensive, such as "Dracula's Cape" which can only be purchased 3 times and costs 50 points (aka posts)...get it?

Where can I download more Avatar Packs?
You can download free user created avatar packs here:
Avatar Packs (http://www.livingavatars.com/avatar_packs)

Always Backup your Database before Upgrading
Living Avatars might have database changes during the upgrade. Please, take the extra time and backup the living avatars tables (the tables that are prefixed with 'la_' in your forum database) before upgrading to new versions. I always do as much as testing as possible before releasing updates but it's still better to be cautious.

[TheBlackPoet]

give me a minute.. im bout to install it... i will return with a verdict!!

[vip-q.com]

koooooool

I like this

install :)

[bashy]

Hi

Dont matter...great hack well done...

[TheBlackPoet]

hahahaha i love this!!! this is very very very nice.... and the install was a breeze.. like.. 2 seconds......

my only question is will you have packs that will be formatted for Black people???

this is an excellent hack!!

[TheBlackPoet]

when i go to my edit avatar under user cp.... the link does not work... i chmod the folder 777 but dont know what to do from there..

[subduck]

Hi

I am not over keen on overwriting existing files, can you supply the edits so i can see whats what pleas?

Living Avatars does NOT overwrite any vBulletin files.

[subduck]

when i go to my edit avatar under user cp.... the link does not work... i chmod the folder 777 but dont know what to do from there..

In order for the 'Living Avatars' link to appear under your usercp, you must login to the Living Avatars admin panel and click 'Forum Integration'. From there you can click a link which will add the link to your usercp.

[subduck]

hahahaha i love this!!! this is very very very nice.... and the install was a breeze.. like.. 2 seconds......

my only question is will you have packs that will be formatted for Black people???

this is an excellent hack!!

Thanks dude!

Tonight I'll post a tutorial on how to create avatar packs. It's so easy, you're going to love it, not even one line of code is required!

[TheBlackPoet]

i got it working too.... thanks.... i have to go to work tonight... but i am seriously looking forward to your tutorials!!!

[abramelin]

YOU ARE MY HERO! i was looking for this for ages!! thank you , thank you thank you! just one question.does this mod come with its own point system or we should install a point system?

[subduck]

YOU ARE MY HERO! i was looking for this for ages!! thank you , thank you thank you! just one question.does this mod come with its own point system or we should install a point system?

It has its own point system that works directly with the amount of posts your users have made or will make. If a users posts 5 times on your forum, then they'll get 5 points to spend on items in Living Avatars, etc.

[abramelin]

i am waiting for the tutorial :)

[KTBleeding]

It has its own point system that works directly with the amount of posts your users have made or will make. If a users posts 5 times on your forum, then they'll get 5 points to spend on items in Living Avatars, etc.What does it do with existing posts? Add them to the points, or does it start from scratch on install?

[Queball_Beast]

Looks great, i`ll be installing this later :up:

[subduck]

What does it do with existing posts? Add them to the points, or does it start from scratch on install?

It adds them to the points. If you have 500 posts and install Living Avatars, then you will have 500 points.

I forgot to mention that you can edit each item and customize how much an item costs and how many times that item can be purchased. That way you can have an expensive limited edition item!

Check it out:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/06/28.gif

[wizardan]

I'm all in if you can tell me more about Sword of Doom...lol!
Looks great, but I need to know how to make or get 'packs' more suitable for my membership.
I downloaded the zip, but reserve marking as installed until then:)

[fernas]

This mod is great!, congratulations.

I already have vbPlaza & vbBux in my board, it will possible an integration with that mod? I think that my users will confuse with two points systems.

Sorry for my English.

[FreshFroot]

Nice work man! I love thos, I hope you can get us some more avatar packs :D

[sensimilla]

Outstanding and very original, nominated for MOTM even if im not in need of this.

[scottct1]

Can I set this up so only certain user groups can use this feature? :)

[rabbits slayer]

Very nice mod! I'd nominate it for MOTM as well. :)

[subduck]

Thanks for the nominations guys!!

[subduck]

Can I set this up so only certain user groups can use this feature? :)

Not right now, but I've already created the technology to allow this in a future update!

[subduck]

Nice work man! I love thos, I hope you can get us some more avatar packs :D

I already have a few artists working on new packs, and once I release the tutorial we are sure to get many more packs :)

[scottct1]

Installed and nominated.

This is the most exciting (and fun) release for vb in a LONG LONG time. :)

[TCattitude]

MOTM

Congratulations ;)

[Bluehemp123]

This sounds awesome. I think members would have a fun time with this. Can't wait for the tutorials and packs. :)

[projectego]

Awesome! Thanks very much! :D

[bashy]

Yeah i realised that sorry, not often you have to upload the actual folder and when i see the admincp and also the index file i assumed......

Living Avatars does NOT overwrite any vBulletin files.

Anyway moving on, Swiftly :o
How does the points work....

If i have it set for 5 points per item
Is it each post earns 1 point, i think thats what it is aint it?

Will it be possible to have different cost per item?

there is a small down side it counts your posts from install so if members have like a
few hundred or even thousand posts they is gonna be loaded with points lol...

Can it be started from the time of install?

Also when will new packs be available?

[Wayne Luke]

Would be interesting if the instructions included manual template editing. I, personally, see automatic template editing as a major security risk. Will have to pass on installing this.

[subduck]

If i have it set for 5 points per item
Is it each post earns 1 point, i think thats what it is aint it?

Yup, that's how it works!

Will it be possible to have different cost per item?

Yes, you can already do that. Check the screenshot I posted a few replies before yours.

there is a small down side it counts your posts from install so if members have like a
few hundred or even thousand posts they is gonna be loaded with points lol...

I don't think that is a downside, in my opinion loyal members should be rewarded. You can of course upload very expensive items (10,000 points) etc, and they'll be among the very few who can afford those items.

Can it be started from the time of install?

No

Also when will new packs be available?

Right now, I've hired one artists to get this started. Once tutorials are released, then we'll start having many more artists contribute (I've already been talking to many artists).

[DJ XtAzY]

I Must Try This!!!

[ssslippy]

Would be interesting if the instructions included manual template editing. I, personally, see automatic template editing as a major security risk. Will have to pass on installing this.

The automatic template edit doesnt have to be done. Its actually optional after you install. Its got its own menu in the admin panel.

You could easily add a link to your User CP for this, http://yoursite.com/forums/living_avatars/index.php?action=editavatar

One thing I must say for subduck is he made this mod to support more the vbulletin. It supports phpBB and vbulletin and other msg boards in the future.

[subduck]

Would be interesting if the instructions included manual template editing. I, personally, see automatic template editing as a major security risk. Will have to pass on installing this.

Not a problem, here are the manual instructions:
http://www.livingavatars.com/help/p2_articleid/8

And like ssslippy said, the automatic template edit is optional and is done in the admin panel of Living Avatars, not during installation.

[Realturktiger]

Awesome ......thanks

[akulion]

wow awesome!!

Nominated and installing :D

[ZomgStuff]

Awesome idea, but if only you could create other doll packs. IE: counter strike guys or etc.

[akulion]

omg this is so awesome!!!!

this has to be the best mod on vB without doubt! so well made and thought out!!!

Looking forward to more packs :D

Also a request, could you please also include some items for Muslims like...

For men: Prayer hats, beards
For women: Hijab (head covering), veil (face veil)

I would be really really indebted if you could please :D

[v12kid]

looks great, now I need to find an artist to create a pack that suits my forum. Reserving the install button until I get the art done!

well done sir!

[Kohhal]

Savage hack, will install once I have a good pack for my forum :)

[akulion]

man i really love this mod!

sorry for posting again..but I REALLY love it! :D

[zajako]

This is pretty cool, I had an idea to do something similar a few years ago, but never had the chance. I'll probley mod this up a ton to make it useful for my new site I'm working on :)

Thanks alot

[Endurer]

One word: Awesome

Installed, rated, and nominated for motm.

Looking forward to getting more avatar packs. ;)

[TheBlackPoet]

just in case it wasnt thought of for the next upgrade.., could there be background color options?? a pallette.... this is a cool hack

[DJ XtAzY]

it woulda be awesome if there are anime avatar backs =]

[akulion]

already suggested that on their homepage
http://www.livingavatars.com/

Also Theblackpoet u may wana put in ur request for avatars for black people there too in the requests board

[Jeordie015]

I would be interested in this if it could be used with vbBux for points.

[akulion]

vbux is dead isnt it?

[subduck]

just in case it wasnt thought of for the next upgrade.., could there be background color options?? a pallette.... this is a cool hack

For sure, I just didn't have enough time to add that feature in. But it will for sure be in a future version, very simple to do :)

[glorify]

Nice job. Won't blend with my NFL forum, but thanks for bringing in something new.

[vampireus]

This is awesome, I have been wanting this mod for a long time.

It would be the best mod ever if we can go in details of the "living avatar" like the "doll makers" of this site

http://elouai.com/doll-makers/candybar-doll-maker.php

[subduck]

http://elouai.com/doll-makers/candybar-doll-maker.php

Any artist could easily create an avatar pack that had bodies, faces, hair, eyes, lips, etc. Avatar packs can be anything, cars, animals, etc

[vampireus]

Thx, do you mean your mod is already compatible with all of that? as long as we get the images

[iogames]

Any artist could easily create an avatar pack that had bodies, faces, hair, eyes, lips, etc. Avatar packs can be anything, cars, animals, etc

Ok, but a system like 'Doll Maker' can be integrate it on your hack?

[Mastar]

This is swwweeeeettt! Already installed. Very easy to use and install. I love the simplicity of it. Congrats! I will be voting on this for Hack Of The Month/Year. :)

[subduck]

Thanks! Nice install yeah? I tried to make it as simple as possible with just one button :)

[Louis Phong]

greats, thanks for sharing ^_^

[Invalid ID]

If that works... It's gonna be amazing for my members ... installing...

[Liquid1ce]

great mod, will be installing soon

[shaynehammy]

Awesome. Nominated for Mod of the month. With more packs, this will easily be one of the best add ons ever.

[PoetJA-1975]

Wow! This is uber-exciting!
Released today and already 40 installs and 5 pages of postings.
RESERVED for additional avatar packs

Thanx very much for the sharing - This is simply AWESOME!

Jacquii.

[scottct1]

My users love it. Although they all look like me. :)

Cant wait for more avatar packs. :D

[subduck]

I'll have the avatar pack tutorial up in one hour.

[rasp187]

Perhaps you should include an uninstallation guide or file, too. It adds tables to the database and for those of us that like to uninstall entirely may find that a bit irritating having to manually drop the tables.

[ssslippy]

Rasp I have asked about this before, it will be a feature in a future version. Right now there is uninstall instructions but its manual.

[subduck]

Avatar Pack tutorial created, it's a rough draft but a good start:

[subduck]

1 error,when i press the 'Save Avatar' button.
63883

That really looks like a server/apache misconfiguration error, I would contact your server admin (hosting company) about that issue.

[Coders Shack]

wow... very nice

can't wait for more packs :D

then ill install.

Hey Lucky, can you PM me your FTP info so that I can fix this error? I'm going to sleep now, but I can fix it tomorrow.

[Luky]

my forum is at www.alchemist-team.net/vb/ its 3.6.4 with the patch to upgrade it to 3.6.5

I donot feel secure, for obvious reasons, giving out my FTP details.. perhaps you can tell me what you think could be a cause? I am computer literate and will understand most of what you say... if not i can give you FTP access, but only for the living avatars folder ;)

Thanks Subduck!

[abramelin]

does this mod crop the canvas to the avatar size of the forum using? for example in the example images the whole body is showing up but in the postbit area its a limited area?

[Luky]

Look at number 7 image, yes it does. It doesnt crop it but, it resizes it.. well in the demo it does.

[Valter]

This should include uninstall script.

After trying it on my test forum I dropped all tables from database and re-installed vBulletin.

This was easiest way to uninstall. Doing it manually is boring...

[Neo_Angelo]

this hack reminds me of that forum called Gaiaonline, where you got gold to spend on dressing up your avatars, a very nice add-on if i do say so myself, i might give this a try sometime soon.

[Calash]

Very nice hack :)

I am getting an Javascript error on my work computer when I am editing, The system is running IE6.0. My home system, and Firefox at work is fine though....it may just be a glitch with our version of Java...I will look into it more.


Looking forward to more avatar packs :)

[General BAM]

Yes it is kinda fun, Gaia isnt fun but.. Gaia is lame :P

Can someone please help me??? =/

[Taipa]

Looks awesome!

I'll hold off on installing it until there's a different way of users getting "points" besides post count. I don't need people spamming all over the place just to rack up more points to buy more avatar things (like happens on GaiaOnline).

But after that, it's definitely on my list of "must have" mods for a planned board of mine!!

[Yours Truly]

Would it be possible for bigger canvas's as well? Maybe for areas in a profile as apposed to just an avatar?

[kingvillain]

This is a fantastic piece of work!! I have installed it but as yet not opened it to the members as I am testing it on my 3.6.5 forums, it is working perfectly fine from what I see.

I also note how easy it is to "install" your own packs (even if creating the images is time consuming, not ur fault of course lol). The way this system works is only limited by the admins imagination, I have already created blank "canvas" bodies so the user can choose from a selection of facial expressions aswell as the usual accessories etc to add to them for even more customisation. I`m also doing scenery for the avators for members to purchase, there literally is tons that can be done for customising.

One question though, when you have installed a pack, is it possible to still add new images in the already installed directory`s? Is it as simple as uploading the new images into the already existing folders?

Many thanks :)

[Flame Claw]

Love this

* Flame Claw clicks install

Great mod, thanks :)

[Snake]

Wow! Thanks a lot for this! :)

[snobird1211]

i click install as well but i would like to see some gaming themed packs maybe dress my guy up as mario would be cool

[JoeWho]

I get an error when I run the install file. I am running vBulletin 3.6.4

I'll have to do a lot of different types of checks to figure the problem, it would be really easy if you could just send me your FTP info. Because so far I have been unable to recreate your error.

[LadyHoney]

Probablly a really stupid question but im confused.. which is easy enuff these days.. but does every avatar have both male and female or can they choose.. all the examples show both and id like them seperate for male and female members to choose.. Also does this override custom avatars or can they still use those if they choose?

Thank you in advance for your time.. Im running 3.6.5 and known installation problems with this?

They can choose which items to purchase (male, female, etc). Also, this does not override the custom avatars, your users have the option of using Living Avatars.

I'm upgrading to 3.6.5 right now, I'll let you know if there any problems.

[subduck]

Just upgraded my forum to 3.6.5, works fine.

[LadyHoney]

clickin install.. thanks lookin forward to addons im not artisitic but i love pretty toys..lol hopefully new ones will be added frequently to keep the attention of members growing..

Also . personally i LOVE the idea that members spend thier posts not thier site bux on this kind of item.

[subduck]

lol hopefully new ones will be added frequently to keep the attention of members growing..

It's only been one day and members have already started creating new avatar packs:

http://www.livingavatars.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14

[LadyHoney]

Installed..works wonderfully.. sooooo easy to put on . so easy to use.. the end results are limitless with artistic imagination..............CALLING ALL ARTISTS lol..

clicked install. nominating mom and rating high... thanks for all your hard work. my members wil adore this .

[Lionel]

This is the first time I see a mod with 34 votes and 5 stars ratings. Way to go!

[giovannicosta]

cools cool, installing this soon.

[mondala]

Just read all 5 pages, and wow this mod excites me. I will install once we have image packs for cars. :)

Car pack has been brought up before, we're looking into it. :cool:
http://www.livingavatars.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34

[subduck]

Would it be possible for bigger canvas's as well? Maybe for areas in a profile as apposed to just an avatar?

It would be possible to use the vBulletin Profile Picture to allow a larger view of the avatar (max would be 250px by 250px). It would also be possible to add a link right under the avatar that says something like: "View full image" which links to a page that shows the full 250x250 image with stats like number of items (images) used and the total points spent to build that avatar etc. That would be cool,

[giovannicosta]

How do I get the avatsr to be a boy?

[subduck]

How do I get the avatsr to be a boy?

I'm not really sure what you mean. Once you install Living Avatars, you just purchase the boy.

Thanks I'll look into that.

[Ohiosweetheart]

This is awesome. I'll certainly be referring my clients to this hack.

[Renz]

One question though, when you have installed a pack, is it possible to still add new images in the already installed directory`s? Is it as simple as uploading the new images into the already existing folders?

Many thanks :)


I need to know this also, I added images to the already created folder but they're not appearing

[Yours Truly]

I was thing more along the line of say 600x300-400 for like a car then you doa s you do to it :)

Yes, you can define the width and height of the avatar. Items can be anything (swords, backgrounds, etc), in fact there is already a user from here that has created many backgrounds:

Thanks Great Hack Btw

one quick question tho agine

does this work or compatible with zoints social networking?

[subduck]

does this work or compatible with zoints social networking?

I've never heard of zoints, so I guess the answer would be no.

[FreshFroot]

he should try it out and see if it works or not.. that's the best way to find out.. just backup and try it out..

Thanks, I picked up programming when I was 17 and a few years later released Subdreamer CMS:
www.subdreamer.com/

Now I'm 23, so I guess you could say I learned programming just by working on Subdreamer CMS everyday for the past few years.

[Luky]

I'll have to do a lot of different types of checks to figure the problem, it would be really easy if you could just send me your FTP info. Because so far I have been unable to recreate your error.
Do we upload in binary or ASCII? Ima try both... If i cant get it to work, then i will give you admin access by PM to the FTP :)

Thanks mate!

[crazymeezer]

This is great! Very well done. Thank you :)

[subduck]

I'm not sure if you guys know this, but hold down the shift button and you can use your mouse to increase or decrease the width & height of images (and even the crop tool) when editing your avatar in the canvas.

[valdet]

Thanks for this fantastic product.
Voted excellent, Installed and Nominated...

My guess is that the base work is done with LA, so LS would be an easy addition...

I've never heard of zoints, so I guess the answer would be no.


I have Zoints Local installed the the Living Avatar shows up fine in the profiles.


Great job with this one :)

One question, are there any hooks that I could use to apply points to a person for actions outside of the forum? In my case I would also like people to earn points for posting stories and reviewing stories. I could probably do some database updates, but if hooks exists already I would rather use that :)

[aberg]

Great Job and work!
Only one question, Is it possible to make this work for some usergroups?
I don't want use postcount option for the forum
My experience is that a lot of users posting nonsense if they get more level when they posting more message.

[DiSpy]

One question, are there any hooks that I could use to apply points to a person for actions outside of the forum? In my case I would also like people to earn points for posting stories and reviewing stories. I could probably do some database updates, but if hooks exists already I would rather use that :)

I'd like something similar implemented (a hook or something) so that others can create mods that would allow users to get points other ways that just via posting, like referring friends, sending points to others, etc... I have alot of ideas for this... just need the hooks to start with. :D

Also there should be an option in the admin panel to turn on/off points for posting per forum (example some forums where people don't want users to spam, won't have thier posts add points to this).

One last thing would be the ability to send items you've bought to another user... that way people could trade/auction thier items to each other.

THANK YOU!
(rated 5 stars, and nominated for MOTM, will install soon)

Edit: Oops, forgot I wanted to ask a question... does this work with the built-in usergroup permissions so that only certain usergroups can:
A) Have the ability to use this system at all
B) earn points for thier posts

[Calash]

How can I remove packs that I added, or sort items into different categories without members losing there purchases?

If you add the same pack twice (easy to do if you do a lot of them) it shows up as a blank folder in the admin panel. I would also like to sort stuff better...put all the dresses together, all the shirts together.


Is there an easy way to do this yet? If not...it would make a good addition ;)

I think this is the greatest mod on this website..
i was looking for it for months.

but i have an idea: There must be an integration with other point mods(like ICash).
Because as long as this works with posting message there will be so much spam messages.
so we dont want it :)

if you can do this, this will be the greatest mod all over the world :D

May I suggest for the next release better packs organisations? At the rate they are coming up on your website - 20 in 2 days - soon the page will be filled up. So that would be neat if they could be categorized in a directory like.

Suggestion for selling items :) Maybe at a reduced price since they are used.

Mecca, you can't install an avatar pack and then start deleting image files off your server. Living Avatars is trying to find those files but they were deleted, so you're seeing errors.

I'm working on this now, I honestly didn't think Living Avatars would become so popular in a matter of 2 days. 20 Packs in 2 days after launch?!! I thought we were going to get our first few packs by the end of this month. This thing is just so popular so fast, it's awesome...but it means I have to work nonstop to keep up with everything!

So do I uninstall it then reinstall it?

Yup. In a future update I will create options to delete individual items & I will also add the option to categorize items.

No, there are a bunch of characters. What made you think there were only 2?

There are also many new packs being created every day, for example someone has already created a starwars pack: http://www.livingavatars.com/forum/showthread.php?t=182

Go take a look at the main site and test out the program, then check out the avatar packs released on our forum. I'm just leaving out the door right now and don't have time to post screen shots of the characters.

I see installation and upgrade instructions in the first post, don't you? :rolleyes:

How do I uninstall this mod?

1) If you enabled the forum integration link from the LA Admin Panel, then login to the LA Admin Panel and disable it.

2) Drop these tables:
la_admins
la_avatars
la_groups
la_items
la_itemspurchased
la_packs
la_pointsspent
la_positions
la_settings

3) Delete the living_avatars/ folder.

Not quite sure how the install and upgrade instructions qualify as uninstall instructions.

As far as I can tell the only link between the forum and LA can be severed in the admin panel..there is a link to disable forum integration. From there it is just a matter of file and database cleanup.

This is a beautiful mod you've got here, Subduck...just not appropriate for my board, but I've been trying to convince a friend with a parenting board to install it!!:D Now, if the characters were like sexy prep dollz, I'd be all over it!! ;)

You could create an avatar pack using the free dollz bases that are available. ^_^

Will this work with vbulletin 3.5?

Yes.

[seangworld]

subduck, can you fix this problem please?

That error sounds like a host issue, they may not have the correct module installed to allow the image creation, or it may not be configured correctly.

That is my guess at least.

My members and I on my site are loving this mod (many thanks again, also nominated it for MOTM), just wondering will you add an option in the future where the admin can set how many points a user gets per post? I see it`s currently default 1point, I would like to increase this so members don`t feel so much of a need to post so much (ie spam) to get enough points for a particular item. Or is there a value somewhere that can be edited to change how many points it awards for a post?

Just make the items "cheaper" ie. less points needed.

Exactly.
You don't need to give more points per post, instead just make the items cheaper.

Any idea why I would get a 500 error? Is there something in the mod that my sever would rather spit out?

[Subah]

Cool :)

Server issue with GD2, contact your host.

[sweetguy2004]

very nice indeed thanks bro

very nice indeed thanks bro

:)

I'll be releasing a new update soon that will add more cool functionality.

[jderouen]

This may be a silly question, but can users still choose to use regular avatars instead of the living avatars? It all looks very cool, but I don't want to force my users to use it. If it's a choice, however, that would be great.

[4x4 Mecca]

Yes. It's a choice.

[seangworld]

uninstalled.

Is this intergrated with Vbux?

[Scathmere]

Is this intergrated with Vbux?

Or the iCash system?

[succo]

Is this intergrated with Vbux?

Or the iCash system?

as i said in the official forum, no, but it could be with an effort to completely rewrite the internal point system to read and write from/to vbux/icash points, or mirroring the icash/vbux value somewhere else and making la read/write it, but it would need a complete rewrite of how the point system works in la, as right now it's done reading the post count and subtracting from it the total price of the bought items.
it could be done as a 'phisical' mod to the core files, but as this is a young product being actively worked on it could be an hell to update the la modifying the files every time, so i guess i'll wait til this will be directly available by the developers :)

btw, i saw that someone else is having troubles with cookies being modified by la system and made unusable by vb... i didn't try out with 1.02 but i had serious problems with someone not being able to log anymore to the forum when trying 1.01. has this been fixed?

[odinzu]

Wow, very nice mod man. Seriously =) Very nice. This improves the quality of the forums by so much. It makes me even want to post more =D

[Murty]

I would be very interested and would install this if there were some way to disable the points system. Is this possible, if not are you looking to do this in the next upgrade?

Cheers
