As i am not into RPG games i am slightly confused as to what each bar represents,

For example, in this screenshot:



How is the number determined before and after the slash.

Also what is EXP and how is it determined.

Thank you.

I think this mod already transforms your forum into a simple online RPG. Your forum is the RPG, so no need for a separate game or another system.

I´m now thinking of adding a simple point system, so that members can earn "Gold".
The system will have options to configure the currency name, symbol and how many gold the members will earn (configurable).

What you think about this?

we don't need a point system cos there already a point system app so no need for it..may be you can add rewards system with it so that members get little rewards..

1.Posting Award
2.Frequent Poster i
3.Most Popular
4.User with most referrers
5.Calendar Award
6.Activity Award

Also a Achievements will be nice also::

I dowloaded this mod but I dont get the colors. This is how it looks in my board. Can someone help? Thanks

[Planetby]

upload the images and ensure the folder is chmod777

[Chris Christian]

Read the documentation file (readme.html) for install instructions. You have not uploaded the images or uploaded in the wrong place.

[cafeboricua]

I went to public, then style images , I picked the skin I am using and uploaded the images, and still they dont show. Am I doing something wrong?? Thanks


By the way I did change the permissions.

[Chris Christian]

Yes, you are doing it wrong.
Please READ the install instructions in the Documentation/readme.html (english) or Documentação/leiame.html (portuguese brazilian). :)

Upload all the contents of the UPLOAD folder to the root of your IP.Board (where index.php is located). Thats it. :thumbsup:

@bold~ Don't do that part.

This is a fantastic mod. I loved it for 2.3, and I love it now. I'm glad you remade it for the new IPB version!

I'm a little confused about the HP bar, though. I have it set to go by the percentage of the forum's total posts. So everyone's HP bar is barely full at all. For example, this is the fullest HP on my board:


In the last version, wasn't it total posts that day? I remember more posting meaning higher HP, so would it be possible to use total board posts that DAY in a future version? Or am I just missing something and reading this totally wrong? XD

As for gold, there are already points systems out there. I already have ibEconomy installed, so I personally wouldn't use a points system with RPG stats. However, it would be cool if you could come up with integration for existing points systems.



EDIT: Okay, derp, I just noticed the percent needed for full HP bar part at the bottom. Still, I'd love to have the HP bar fluctuate depending on your percent of the posts that particular day rather than all time.

[Chris Christian]

The point system that I´m planing for RPG Status can be used for admins that don´t want to use a complex and resource intensive mod.
RPG Status Gold System will not add extra queries or tables, so it will be super simple and light on the server.

I´m thinking of adding some sort of simple achievements or rewards system in adition to the rank system.

As for the definitions of HP/MP, I´m also thinking of adding two or three more, so admins can have more freedom to configure and personalize their forums.

[MissNinja]

Ah, very cool. Definitely looking forward to more options to configure HP and MP. :D

You just need to upload the folder PUBLIC to the root of your IP.Board installation (where index.php is located). Everything inside this folder will be uploaded too.

What FTP program are you using?

[OriaX]

Great plugin! People on my board love it.

Hope it gets better over time. Would be great if you could add the number of ranks, and not just have 5. I think that this hook wins over IPB's and other forums' standard rank systems.
