Galaga Hack v1

This is an old hack, made for vb2 around 3 - 4 years ago, however a nice little addition that i and my members enjoy.

So what does it do?
Dependant on the user's post count, stars appear in the postbit under there username.

0 Posts = 1 Yellow Star
100 Posts = 2 Yellow Star
200 Posts = 3 Yellow Stars

Etc..

Upon getting 1000 posts you will go back to 1 star, but a new color instead of yellow.

The colors are in this order:
Yellow
Grey
Green
Blue
Red

Higher the color and amount of stars, higher the persons post count.

Any questions post below, i have attatched a screenshot as an example for you all

Enjoy,

Nice hack. But I'm just curious, how do you add another level after RED (such, as Black)?. I've tried this:

// Limit The Stars
if($post['stars'] >= 50){
$post['stars'] = 50;
}

// Get level
if($post['stars'] >= 50){
$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -50;
$post['s_ext']="black";
if($post['stars'] >= 40){
$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -40;
$post['s_ext']="red";

But, obviously, it conflicts. Any suggestions?? I have some high posters..

Ok, Can I ask a question? How hard would it be to take out the stars and replace them with little keys? I have a site called www.keyhunt.com so I think it would fit Please help me.

Thanks

Change the gifs that reside in the /your forum/images/galaga directory. They're really small, you have to zoom in on them in Photoshop. Keep the names the same though, so you don't have to rewrite code.

For some reason the stars only show up to eachother. Can I make the stars visible to EVERYONE..like Everyone gets to see eachothers.

For instance: one of my users has 2,010 posts... but has no stars.

I've got this same problem, users that have between 1000-1099 and 2000-2099 posts don't have a star, does anyone know how to fix this?

[bigcurt]

I have the SAME problem.

I really hope this gets fixed. I don't want to uninstall this.

I have the same problem. Once someone hits 1001, the stars disappear. They come back, red, once you get into the thousands (I have 7900 posts, and have 9 red stars).

The math is kind of wrong here. Anyone have any ideas???

[docvader]

The math is not correct for some reason. You will get one grey star for people that go over a thousand posts, if you use "-9" instead of "-10" in the php file. I'll have to play with this for a bit...
