I got file based avatars to work.

In the login_inc.php file find:

PHP Code:

$file = $forumpath . "image.php?u=$userid"; 


And replace it with:

PHP Code:

    if ( $vbulletin->options['usefileavatar'] == 1 )
    {
        if ( $vbulletin->userinfo['avatarid'] == 0 )
        {
            $file = $forumpath . $vbulletin->options['avatarurl'] . "/avatar" . $userid . "_" . $vbulletin->userinfo['avatarrevision'] . ".gif";
        }
        else
        {
             // Unfortunately, need to query the database for the avatar, will work on array caching all avatars later.
             $query = $db->query_first ( "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "avatar WHERE avatarid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['avatarid'] . " ; " );
             $avatar = $db->fetch_array ( $query );
            $file = $forumpath . $avatar['avatarpath'];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $file = $forumpath . "image.php?u=" . $userid;
    } 


Individual users may need to tweak the avatar paths based on their settings, however this will probably work for most.
