Introducing Living Avatars!
Today is a great day and I have something really cool that some of you are going to love! It's called Living Avatars, a new vBulletin addon that I've been working on for almost one year. This program will allow your users to customize their avatars by using the mouse to drag and move items around (items such as clothing pieces, etc). In order to collect items, you need to spend points, the more you post on a forum the more points you get! Thus, Grow your Forum with Living Avatars! Tour Click here for the tour movie.  Here is how it works in detail: 1) Download and install Living Avatars to vBulletin (install instructions below). 2) Once installed, go to the Living Avatars admin panel and click 'forum integration'. 3) The user profiles of your members will now have an extra link:  4) Now, the more a user posts on your forum, the more points he or she will earn. If a user has posted 500 times, and then you install Living Avatars, then that user will start with 500 points. 5) Once users have a few points, they can then start spending their points to collect items:  6) Now that they have collected a few items, they can create their ultra cool avatar! Check it out:  I highlighted the canvas in red, in that box (the canvas) you can use your mouse to drag items around. It seriously works beautifully. 7) Now, press the 'Save Avatar' button and your avatar on vBulletin will be updated:  And that's it! Cool yeah?! Ok, so on with the install instructions: Installation Instructions Installation is very simple, just follow these steps and you shouldn't have any problems (if so, then I'm sorry and I'll try and help you out asap!). 1) Download & Extract living_avatars.zip 2) FTP the living_avatars folder to your forum Example: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/living_avatars/ 3) Run Setup: forum/living_avatars/setup/ 4) CHMOD the Living Avatars 'avatars' folder to 777 (this folder: /living_avatars/avatars/) 5) Delete the setup folder (/living_avatars/setup/) Now that Living Avatars is installed, go to the admin panel of Living Avatars and click the 'Forum Integration' link, from there you can press one link which will update the vBulletin modifyavatar template to insert the Living Avatars link. Upgrade Instructions 1) Download & Extract living_avatars.zip 2) FTP the living_avatars folder to your forum (overwriting previous Living Avatar files) Example: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/living_avatars/ 3) Run Setup: living_avatars/setup/ 4) Delete the setup folder (/living_avatars/setup/) Uninstall Instructions 1) If you enabled the forum integration link from the LA Admin Panel, then login to the LA Admin Panel and disable it. 2) Drop these tables: la_admins la_avatars la_groups la_items la_items_purchased la_packs la_points_spent la_positions la_settings 3) Delete the living_avatars/ folder. Why should I use Living Avatars? "Grow your forum with Living Avatars" - Simply that! Not only is Living Avatars a lot of fun to use but it's also addicting. Users will want to post on your site in order to gain enough 'points' to purchase a certain item (ex: Sword of Doom!). Imagine having certain items that are rare & expensive, such as "Dracula's Cape" which can only be purchased 3 times and costs 50 points (aka posts)...get it? Where can I download more Avatar Packs?

My guess is that the base work is done with LA, so LS would be an easy addition... Let's wait for Ziad for a word on this..

I have Zoints Local installed the the Living Avatar shows up fine in the profiles. Great job with this one One question, are there any hooks that I could use to apply points to a person for actions outside of the forum? In my case I would also like people to earn points for posting stories and reviewing stories. I could probably do some database updates, but if hooks exists already I would rather use that

Great Job and work!
Only one question, Is it possible to make this work for some usergroups? I don't want use postcount option for the forum My experience is that a lot of users posting nonsense if they get more level when they posting more message.
