This hack includes a small script and instructions on how to install and set up the system.
Purpose: Just a simple engine that allows mods and admins to award arbitrary points to users, which will be displayed under their names/avatars.
The points can be named anything you wish, and represent anything you choose. You can use the script to add or subtract them.
As the script utilizes a Custom Profile Field, the point field can be directly edited in the CP when editing a user, allowing you to place text in the field rather than merely a number.
On our forum, the points are called Gil and represent our virtual currency
It is used to purchase perks like Custom Titles and avatars.
Our staff, having no use for Gil, instead like to have snappy quotes in the field, like "I send greetings of death!!!" (Reno) and "Who needs Gil when you have power?" (Sephiroth)

Originally posted by e_dove Ok... But what about the Thing too add the person with the top points... like
"The Person With the Most Points is {Profile = {userid={code}{code?} with {point number code}
I haven't read through all these threads yet, so don't get upset if I ask something that has already been asked. But, I was wondering if there was a way to add points automatically to a members point count every time they post. As opposed to doing it individually to each user, which can take alot of time if you have many active users on your forum :/. For example, lets say everytime someone posts they get 3 points.
Although even this is sorta basic, and to go even further would there be a way to make it work in conjuction with the HP/MP/EXP hack, so that the amount of points you get per posts depends on your level?
For example, but not necessarily in this fashion:
lvl 1 = 1point per post
lvl 2 = 2.5points per post
lvl 3 = 4points per post
and so on.....at each level incrementing at gradually increasing rates
If you can help, I (and I'm sure others) would be very gratiful.
