Galaga Hack v1 Add-on - Galaga Shields and shield notation for post count

This is an add-on based on Zero Tolerance's Galaga Hack v.1.

For this add-on, I made the modifications to meet TCattitude's suggestion in ZT's hack thread:

...instead of the stars, use the real galaga images?

...like roman numbers, sum with them.

Examples:
If a user have 1 post, he got 1.gif
If a user have 5 post, he got 5.gif
If a user have 7 post, he got 5.gif and two 1.gif
If a user have 150 post, he got 100.gif and 50.gif
If a user have 1277 post, he got 1000.gif, 200.gif, 50.gif, two 10.gif, 5.gif and two 1.gif
etc.

So what does it do?

Depending on the user's post count, Galaga shields appear in the postbit under there username and title.

There are different shields denominations for: 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, and 25000 posts.

For example, if the user has 178 posts, it will have 4 shields displayed (but three different types of shields) and the distribution will be:

1 100 shield
1 50 shield
2 10 shields

Max post count for shields allowed is 49999.

This install instructions are very detailed, and almost every line in the code is commented so changes can be made to it easier.

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

Enjoy,

UPDATE 05/15/2005:

As requested by TCattitude, I made modifications to the code and the images folder to include more shields (15 total), and to start posting shields starting from post 1 (kinda like the real Galaga system). The file is Galaga v1 Add-on - more shields.zip

Im glad it worked!!! You kinda inspired me to do it...

Any other requests??? :ermm:

It had been great if had recreated the original count for the shields.
1.gif for 1 single post, then the 5.gif for 5 posts, then the 10.gif for 10 posts, etc.

(Like in the attachment in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....8&postcount=16 )

I want to do that. I'm not a great coder, but your instructions are self explanatory really. If you do that modifications after me, well... i cry (of happiness) and i use you modification again :P
But i will try to do it myself today (or tomorrow)

Thanks for all, again

Well, I was bored so I made the modifications. Check the new zip (more shields) file. It should work.

Enjoy.
