It does not look that hard to disable the point system....From a quick browse of the code it looks like you could make an edit in session.php around like 182. Instead of the $userinfo[points] field being dynamic it could be set to a static number (say, 10000).

Again, this is a quick skimming of the code so I may have missed stuff...just tested and it seems to work ok, the number does go down but is reset each purchase. For an actual integration to another point system I thin you would have to make an edit to this section..have it look at the point table of whatever system to populate this system. Then you would have to edit the purchase function to subtract from this table.

*edit* nevermind. :D

Thanks for that calash, i just want to make it so users can do what ever they want with the character. My experience with have awards and points systems based on posting has created alot of spamming and stuff just to reach goals. So it would be nice if this could work with out it or any other points systems.

Someone has posted a mod on the homepage (forum) of the author of this topic, to make it work with a points system, but it's not a complete fix... if you guys check over there maybe we can all collaborate to make it work better.

Took a look at the post. It seems like it is taking the longer way of doing it, going through core.php instead of modifying session.php.

I will post over there, I may be missing something that he spotted when doing his code.

Set the cost of items to 0 and everything will be free.

like many others suggested, it would be very cool if this could integrate with "any" other point system out there.

p3tz has a similar function, and its actually extremely easy, it just has 2 extra fields in the settings called table and row.

these are filled in like "user" and "vbux" or something similar, depenings wich is the correct row with points.

Is there some way to embed the living avatar stuff into the '/profile.php?do=editavatar' section of the forum?

possible issue...
I've read most of this thread and don't think anyone has mentioned this - but on my forum when going to the Living Avatar (http://jpicforum.info/living_avatars/index.php) - everytime seems to log me out of the main forum and require username/password be used to gain entry to the Living Avatar interface...

Any way to bypass that step. Seems like since both are on the same database it should be more of an integrated type system.

Thanx,

Jacquii.

BTW- My Members are enjoying the hell out of the Living Avatar system!
I love it to! = Thanx for the sharing! Really really nice!

I have seen some posts on this on the official site...a cookie problem from what I have read. Not sure if there is a solution out there yet.

My members are not getting as much of a kick out of the system as I am...but I am hoping that once I get more packs and have it integrated into another point system this will change :)
