I was wondering with this mod can i do this.

1. Have points displayed under a members username called "Mypoints": 125 (number of points)

2. I want to manually give people these points. As they will only get them when they win a game of poker.

So thats all I want to do. Is this the right mod or is there a diff one I should use. I dont need all the options that come with this mod. just a few slight ones.

Regards,

im not sure, but you can ask - but you can integrate vbcredits with the casino hack here on vborg, and it would probably give out credits for winning. otherwise, i suggest you use the Post Award System which is a part of vbcredits. basicially it allows you to grant credits to other users that doesnt come out of your own account. you can limit this power in several ways if you would like even your entire board to do this to each other, but not get out of hand.

credits are normally displayed under their username in the postbit and profiles, if you do the template edits correctly (instructions in the zip), and anything you dont want to use can be easily disabled (such as the bank, which i know a lot of people dont want to use)

Ok i understand its on a rolling basis and it starts from the day of the hack install, But how often do they get paid? number of days between each activity. I thought that was how often they got paid, like every 7 days, But by what that option says is that they only have to be active once within the 7 days? is this correcct
and if it is then i'll set it to 1 so they have to be active every day, but i still dont know how often they get paid or how to set it.

Also if i set the negation to 0 does that mean if they are not active they lose the entire check? cuz thats what i want.

thanks for your help

at the end of each time interval is when it checks and awards for activity (and paycheck, except that one doesnt check for anything). so if time period is set to 7, it will check at the end of each 7 days if they were active during the last 7 days. if its set to 1, it will check at the end of each day if they were active during the last day. if set to 3, they get paid every 3 days if they were active during the previous 3 days.

normally you wouldnt get the activity award (getting 0) for being inactive. but if the applicable negation award includes the activity award, they instead would get (activity award) * (negation multiplier). i dont recommnd changing the negation multiplier instead because that multiplier affects other awards when they get negated :-p (such as post/attachment/thread etc deletion)
if you dont want them to get anything for being inactive, then

pretty much anything can use credits eventually. some third party hacks need integration addons to be made, some are available from my site (click the link in the first post to go to the vbcredits product page which lists the ones i have so far). still more hacks come with the option to use a points system, such as the casino hack on vborg
