Not sure how they did this under the avatars...

[baka]

Hi, I was wondering how some sites (particularly gaming sites) did this. Under the avatar, they have all these added features like on these two forums:

http://allsquare.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=2419

http://forums.ffalpha.com/showthread.php?threadid=6054

Notice the added features, is it a released hack, or some variation on the star hack, or something else? Any ideas? Thanks and hi I'm new ^_^.

kind of interesting huh... I think it is a variation of the star hack.. and a lot of template manipulation..

check out the posbit template..

you can change it to whatever you want.. for the most part.. just takes a lot of time to get it to look like that.

WOW if someone made this hack it would be really great. i have a rp fourm and that would add alot to the fun

[Goldfinger]

Ive seen this discussed on this board before try doing a search for role-playing. or role playing one of the two.

[Scott MacVicar]

some custom fields and some manipulation of the templates and a couple of edits to the php files by the looks of it.

and you know baka means idiot in japanese :P

haisukuuru a$hita ;)

stupid vb censoring my words :/

[baka]

Wow, some people actually know the meaning to my name :) .
*Is an anime freak*

Anyways, I guess it isn't a custom hack from vb....maybe it should be implemented on future versions. (Hint, hint ;) )

Jelsoft doesn't develop or release hacks for vBulletin.

I looked at the page in question and can't see anything except a nicely done template. There is nothing that suggests that code hacks are needed.

[Grandmaster]

Hmm , Any ideas on how this could be done?

[Mike Gaidin]

Yes, any ideas? I would love this addition to my board.

[Mega]

It must be done by code, unless you want users to set their own items. I guess there is some calculation behind it.

[Goldfinger]

There has to be code editing done here. Because they have a calculated number there.

[Sage Undertaker]

:o I talked to one of them that has that. its temp and custom feilds.

[Dunny]

Its a hack to rank a user and give him an overall %, its bloody nice too :D

POSTS + VIEWS = HP: XX/XX
VIEWS + RATES = MP: XX/XX
EXP = OVERALL %

[Dunny]

$maxmp= ($jointime * $level) / 5;
max mp equals the (product of the total days since registered and you current level) divded by 5

$mp= $post[posts] / 3;
current mp equals total posts divided by 3

if ($mp >= $maxmp) {
$mp = $maxmp;
}
$maxmp = floor ($maxmp);
if current mp turns out to be greater than or equal to max mp, then the current mp will be reduced to equal the max mp.

$mp = floor ($mp);
now, round down the current mp to the nearest decimal


heres how his hack is setup, if anyone knows how to make it this will help :)

[halo1]

Thanks for posting the hack on my board Dun, working on a mod for it to my stars hack, hope it works! : )

[Neo]

hmm... i will take a look into it. but if anyone has anymore code / idea or such it would help

[Nebula]

Hmm, sounds easy enough. If I did this, would it be worth it? I mean, would there be a big demand for it?

It definately sounds cool ;)

[Neo]

i know i would want it. i think alot of other people would want it or use it.

[Nebula]

Cool then. I've got some other stuff on my agenda of PHP stuff, but once I get a weekend to myself (like last weekend, no homework, YAY!!), and I have nothing to do, I'll do it. Please don't send me emails every day asking me to do it. If anyone else wants to do this, feel free to go ahead. I'm sure there's someone out there that isn't as busy as me ;)

Don't get me wrong, I'll still do it, but don't count on it soon :D

[Neo]

LOL, i am not lazy to do i with all the coding i do... i will take a looking to aswell but no promises. if you want to help either of us out i am sure you could post a little snip here;)

[Dunny]

posted it in the release section, you may want ot change it to suit your board a bit better ;)
