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. 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!

hmm, sounds like there was some sort of missing file or otherwise invisible errors (many production environments have them turned off). if you talk to me in a PM, i could arrange assisting you in a proper installation

[oninuva]

I was wondering.. where is the thing to reward a user points from a post/thread..

[Darkwaltz4]

thats the post award system, which is now split into several limiting settings in the usergroup editor, so that you could even grant the power to regular members without it getting out of hand. or give all -1 (unlimited) to your admin group to recreate what you were used to in 1.3 :-p

[Skyrider]

One of my forum members had less than 100 credits, and dropped to -97, any idea how that is possible?

[Darkwaltz4]

are you using the latest version?

if so, check to see if induction and activity are unchecked in the applicable negation awards in the award settings for vbcredits. having them checked may lead to negative totals if you dont realize how the math gets applied in those situations (and you dont configure accordingly).

friendly reminder to mark as installed everyone you can disable all alerts from updates if thats whats keeping you from clicking

[berry05]

i got it installed finnaly...but how do i add things like a store where they can buy things to attack the other peoples points and stuff like that..like buy items with points...

[Darkwaltz4]

*sigh* if you had been reading the first post or following along..

vbcredits is the points system only. i have other addons in development which cover selling stuff for points. there are previews for both at vbcredits.com

also, thats 4 in a row who asked for support that didnt mark as installed its a small sign of appreciation to me. i dont mind people who dont mark as installed and dont ask for anything, and i really love everyone who marks as installed and still doesnt ask for anything... but the rest of you to me, marking as installed is as good as giving a donation, and its just one click out of you :-p

[berry05]

sry about that...after i quick relpy i will mark installed!
sry!
anyways...what is the shop called...
vbcommerce?
cant wait!!
plz reply back telling me whats its going to be called and a estimate on when its coming out...like within a month?
btw...cant belive you did all this and the stuff ur doing is awesome!!

[Darkwaltz4]

:-p thanks berry05, i didnt mean to zero in on you in particular - i just noticed it happens surprisingly often around here, and in a common trend.. but anyway

umm, i cant go into great detail on the shop addons because vborg doesnt like it (even though they will be free) but you can see a lot more about them at vbcredits.com, and of course you will be totally open to asking me anything there.

vbcommerce is an all-purpose itemshop which you can see a preview of on the homepage of vbcredits.com currently finishing up development to open up beta for our premium members
vbcustomizer will be in development this summer after vbcommerce is available for everyone. it will cover stuff like bold usernames and italic thread titles. you could technically sell them in vbcommerce, but would be better integrated in its own addon.
