Fully integrated with vBulletin and easily integrated with third party scripts:
Many hacks allow you to specify a points system by entering the table and column for the points data. Use TABLE: user COLUMN: credits when integrating vBCredits with such hacks (note: you may need to include your table prefix with some hacks)! If you are unsure about integration - ask me!

Why is this version not the gold version yet?
vBCredits 1.4rc1 went through a long bugtesting process at the official site, and rc2 is largely bug free in its entirety. However, *it is missing most of the admin help and post/thread deletion actions are temporarily removed while I figure out how to fix them.

Footnotes:
Thank you for using vBCredits, I would be happy to hear your feedback and correct anything that comes up. For more tailored support, please indicate you have installed this hack, and if you like it you can nominate this for MOTM. Use of this free hack requires that you retain the copyright line at the bottom of the forum (PM me otherwise). If you do not agree with this, please do not use vBCredits - thank you for your understanding and support!

I have moved my base of operations to dragonbyte-tech.com due to creative differences with pixelfxstudios. This means the version at vbcredits.com will be maintained by his new team. My version however, will be under [dbtech].

Apologies on the confusion sure to be had in the coming weeks. The grand overhaul of vBCredits is currently forked (pixelfx has what I was working on prior to the split).

Definitely confusion. We're not sure what a forked overhaul will look like, how these two things will overlap or operate with each other...perhaps you don't either at this stage? I think it's safe to say anything under the dbtech banner will be pulled apart and made into both a partialware ("lite") version and an expensive complete version.

[Darkwaltz4]

My overhauled version for vb4 is being wrapped up it was in development for six months. I doubt my version will work together with the vbcredits.com one. I think your projection for mine under dbtech is accurate, but bear in mind it looks and acts nothing like the ancient version at the top of this thread here.

=) The version released under the DBTech banner will have both a Lite and Pro version - we think it's important to give something free back to the community, even though some people act like it's their right to get things for nothing, which makes us sad =(

As DarkWaltz has already mentioned, our version will be the only one with him at the helm for the entire development, and will be the only one with him updating/upgrading it. the pixelFXstudios one will be with whatever coders PixelFXstudios is able to find.

I firmly expect our Pro version to be significantly more feature rich than any competing points system, and for our Lite version to be competitive with anything anyone else has released.

We plan on releasing both Lite and Pro at the end of the month, and are confident that everyone will be blown away by what the new version has to offer =)

Thanks dark. Don't get me wrong - if the quality of the product is clearly there I'm more than willing to pay for it. I just don't want to see betamax/VHS battle ensue here between the two products.

Any guestimate on release time frame...will it be preceded by an open or semi-open beta?

No problem at all =)

If you have any more questions feel free to ask here, or via PM/DragonByte Tech. I can go into more detail on certain things elsewhere than i can on vb.org for obvious reasons.

Hope you like what we've come up with ^.^

ofcourse the danger with dbtech version is the classic disappearing act

you pay, they go, and then come back a few years later with a price hike and a sob story to make mother theresa cry

vbcredits.com full versions will always been support on our site and we're working on full updates for 4.0.x as well. We're fully committed to supporting our clients including free upgrades to all 4.0.x for those that bought products through us and will continue to support all new and old products. We also have lite versions of our products which will be posted at vbulletin.org to meet with the site rules here.

Darkwaltz4 is no longer staff with our firm aka PixelFX Studios we had new programmers setup to carry on development of our systems, however and we have wished him to the best in his new position with dbtech.

We are not affiliated in any way with dbtech, although we've offered any of their users a 10% discount on products at vbcredits.com, just pm me for info.

We've read the posts above, and all we ask is that users be act professional so we all can release scripts that support end users as best as possible. Thank You

Thanks for the reassurance of the ongoing support for vBcredits Robert! :up:

I always go by the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality and I love the vBcredits mod and addons that have been created (and will be in the future!)

[PixelFx]

Darkwaltz4 is a very good programmer I'm sure he'll come up with something at his new job to wow the masses. While we continue to support our vbcredits clients.
