Show Thread Enhancements - Extended Reputation Display

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This hack extends the existing reputation display system from just the light/dark green pips to green and golden pips, and then a series of bronze, silver and gold stars as the pips limit is reached.

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by gold pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the (prefix) display of stars begins - starting with the bronze stars, then silver stars and finally gold Stars. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and red stars - however, there is only one star level for negative reputation.

Each time you 'lap' the limit of the pips display, another star is added. The number of each star is limited by an ACP option (by default, 5 bronze = 1 silver, and 5 silver = 1 gold). The number and value of the pips in each group of pips is defined by six settings in the vboptions > reputation options. A line break can be inserted after the stars. The extended display system can be enabled/disabled in the options.

Just follow the install instructions in the zip file to install this product.

Like I said, this mod has no database calls in it, therefore if you are getting a db error, you need to look elsewhere.

If I dont want the starts to appear do I just remove them from the image folder?

[Paul M]

No, that wont work.

Okay, is this basically the same thing as the original rep display just with stars? I want better bars that increase just not stars xD

That's what it does in a way. It *greatly* extends the amount of rep that can be displayed, by replacing one full bar with a bronze star, several bronze stars with a silver star and several silver stars with a gold star.

So instead of everyone having a full bar most of the time and you having to devalue the amount reputation per pip on a weekly basis, you only have to do that maybe once every year or so with this mod installed.

If it's just the star images you're bothered about, you can easily replace them with for example larger pips.

Hi, i installed it but i don't know how to do to the mod to recognize the older posts....

I mean, the mod only recognizes the points from here to forward?

[Paul M]

The age of posts is irrelevant to this mod.

[JorgeX]

Then how can i do? I only see a green dot (10 points to 50) of reputation for me and i have 800 posts, and 1 point fo reputation for every 10 posts.

I've rebuilt the reputation information but i still having a green dot only


PS: I had reputation deactivated until this mod installation, but rebuilding the info should work isnt it?

So you have 80 points. Therefore one green dot is all you should see (the default settings are 1 dark green per 100 points).

You need to be in the thousands of points range before you start seeing the full display.

I just need now a explanation about the stars, because there's only "Stars Level" to configure, but not it value.

I would like to know how many points a user need to have a gold star, a bronze star, etc...
