View Full Version : Galaga Hack v1
Zero Tolerance
11-25-2004, 10:00 PM
This is an old hack, made for vb2 around 3 - 4 years ago, however a nice little addition that i and my members enjoy.
So what does it do?
Dependant on the user's post count, stars appear in the postbit under there username.
0 Posts = 1 Yellow Star
100 Posts = 2 Yellow Star
200 Posts = 3 Yellow Stars
Etc..
Upon getting 1000 posts you will go back to 1 star, but a new color instead of yellow.
The colors are in this order:
Yellow
Grey
Green
Blue
Red
Higher the color and amount of stars, higher the persons post count.
Any questions post below, i have attatched a screenshot as an example for you all :)
Enjoy,

I've already done something similar to this with user ranks I believe.

Isn't this a default vB3 feature using rank images?
Just wondering :)

A bug: some of my users dont have stars... and they have made well over 100 postings... most of them do, though...

They must have atleast 100 or above posts before they get their first yellow star. :)

Yes, but they have made well over 100 postings... most have stars, but some (who are supposed to) don't...
For instance: one of my users has 2,010 posts... but has no stars.

Is it possible to have sets of stars? So, instead of it setting back to 1 star with a different colour... the different colour stars would go underneath the previous ones? It makes more sense... and people will understand it better... the more stars, the more posts...

And if instead of the stars, use the real galaga images?
(see attachment)
And like roman numbers, sum with them.
Examples:
If a user have 1 post, he got 1.gif
If a user have 5 post, he got 5.gif
If a user have 7 post, he got 5.gif and two 1.gif
If a user have 150 post, he got 100.gif and 50.gif
If a user have 1277 post, he got 1000.gif, 200.gif, 50.gif, two 10.gif, 5.gif and two 1.gif
etc.
So complicated?
I've seen it long time ago in a ubb board (perl version).
This look amazing and very entertained for the users.
Anyways... is just a suggestion :)

Hmm, I can't seem to get the images to show up
I double checked the coding, it's all there, uploaded the file, added the entries to the template, yet it doesn't show up on anyone's postbit

Nice hack. But I'm just curious, how do you add another level after RED (such, as Black)?. I've tried this:
// Limit The Stars
if($post['stars'] >= 50){
$post['stars'] = 50;
}
// Get level
if($post['stars'] >= 50){
$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -50;
$post['s_ext']="black";
if($post['stars'] >= 40){
$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -40;
$post['s_ext']="red";
But, obviously, it conflicts. Any suggestions?? I have some high posters..

Ok, Can I ask a question? How hard would it be to take out the stars and replace them with little keys? I have a site called www.keyhunt.com so I think it would fit :) Please help me.
Thanks

Change the gifs that reside in the /your forum/images/galaga directory. They're really small, you have to zoom in on them in Photoshop. Keep the names the same though, so you don't have to rewrite code.

For some reason the stars only show up to eachother. Can I make the stars visible to EVERYONE..like Everyone gets to see eachothers.
Yes, but they have made well over 100 postings... most have stars, but some (who are supposed to) don't...
For instance: one of my users has 2,010 posts... but has no stars.I've got this same problem, users that have between 1000-1099 and 2000-2099 posts don't have a star, does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same problem. Once someone hits 1001, the stars disappear. They come back, red, once you get into the thousands (I have 7900 posts, and have 9 red stars).
The math is kind of wrong here. Anyone have any ideas???
docvader
12-05-2004, 06:35 AM
The math is not correct for some reason. You will get one grey star for people that go over a thousand posts, if you use "-9" instead of "-10" in the php file. I'll have to play with this for a bit...

Solution: use Stars Hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60457&highlight=stars).
Galaga would be great, if it worked.

I am getting the following problem: yellow stars work, but if a user reaches 1000 posts or more, stars don't change color and they go back to 1 yellow star and stick with it.
So basically if you have 1000, 2000, 5000, or 9000 posts you only have 1 yellow star, they don't change color, they don't increase amount, nothing. If you have less than 1000 posts then yellow stars increase.
This is the code i am using which is the one you specified in the install file:
// ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
// vB Galaga Hack - Created By Zero Tolerance
$post['stars']=intval(str_replace(",","",$post['posts'])/100);
// Limit The Stars
if($post['stars'] >= 50){
$post['stars'] = 49;
}
// Get level
if($post['stars'] >= 40){
$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -39;
$post['s_ext']="red";
} elseif($post['stars'] >= 30){
$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -29;
$post['s_ext']="blue";
} elseif($post['stars'] >= 20){
$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -19;
$post['s_ext']="green";
} elseif($post['stars'] >= 10){
$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -9;
$post['s_ext']="grey";
} else {
$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] + 1;
$post['s_ext']="yellow";
}
$post['stars_display']="";
for($iCount=0;$iCount<($post['starsc']);$iCount++){
$post['stars_display'].="<img src='images/galaga/s_{$post['s_ext']}.gif'>";
}
// vB Galaga Hack - Created By Zero Tolerance
// ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Thank you

Let's say you had 2000 posts, which would be: 2,000, the script first strips comma's, leaving: 2000
Next this number is divided by 100, leaving: 20
Using the if/else statement, the final outcome is:
$post['starsc'] equals 1
$post['s_ext'] equals green
So you have 1 green star.
I can't see the problem, i'm using the exact same code on my vb forum (3.0.7), and it's working as it should, perhaps something else you installed which collides with this?

I am using 3.0.6, i have only Galaga installed in function_showthread.php and postbit_legacy. The board is basically "hack free".. I really don't know what's wrong, i didn't modify anything of your code, except giving a "left" alignment to the stars rather than "center" in the posbit..

Nevermind, I am now using the integrated Rank system of vbulletin so I am uninstalling Galaga. Took a bit of time to configure it as I wanted, but it now works as Galaga was intended to on my board.
Thanks for your time anyway and keep up the good work.
