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,

Solution: use Stars Hack.

Galaga would be great, if it worked.

I am getting the following problem: yellow stars work, but if a user reaches 1000 posts or more, stars don't change color and they go back to 1 yellow star and stick with it.

So basically if you have 1000, 2000, 5000, or 9000 posts you only have 1 yellow star, they don't change color, they don't increase amount, nothing. If you have less than 1000 posts then yellow stars increase.

This is the code i am using which is the one you specified in the install file:

	// ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
	// vB Galaga Hack - Created By Zero Tolerance

		$post['stars']=intval(str_replace(",","",$post['posts'])/100);

		// Limit The Stars
		if($post['stars'] >= 50){
		$post['stars'] = 49;
		}

		// Get level
		if($post['stars'] >= 40){
		$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -39;
		$post['s_ext']="red";
		} elseif($post['stars'] >= 30){
		$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -29;
		$post['s_ext']="blue";
		} elseif($post['stars'] >= 20){
		$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -19;
		$post['s_ext']="green";
		} elseif($post['stars'] >= 10){
		$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] -9;
		$post['s_ext']="grey";
		} else {
		$post['starsc']=$post['stars'] + 1;
		$post['s_ext']="yellow";
		}

		$post['stars_display']="";

		for($iCount=0;$iCount<($post['starsc']);$iCount++){
		$post['stars_display'].="<img src='images/galaga/s_{$post['s_ext']}.gif'>";
		}

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Anyone?

Let's say you had 2000 posts, which would be: 2,000, the script first strips comma's, leaving: 2000

Next this number is divided by 100, leaving: 20
Using the if/else statement, the final outcome is:
$post['starsc'] equals 1
$post['s_ext'] equals green
So you have 1 green star.

I can't see the problem, i'm using the exact same code on my vb forum (3.0.7), and it's working as it should, perhaps something else you installed which collides with this?
