Daniel Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 The IM, reputation, report & IP (staff only) icons are finished. Now, time for more suggestions: How should rep look like? (The icons that show current rep, not the rep button)1-Just some green/red squares similar to the current ones, but with better blending 2-A bar with the 'rep' text and a tiny colored gauge to the side (similar to the one in the sneak peek) 3-Emeralds 4-Rings? 5-Suggest your own! I'd say advance style emeralds. Red for Bad rep, Green for good rep, and grey if they turned off their rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'd prefer genesis style emeralds, personally. I don't like advance style, and our community is generally more into the classic games than the modern ones. I think we need to revise our rep system so we get multiple blocks sooner. 100 per each extra box is a little too much, and most people only have one, even if they have very different rep levels. I think 30 rep per additional box (or emerald) would be better. I'll need to talk with the rest of the admins to set this up, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Damn good ideas, Rael. And I'm all for using genesis emeralds. Advance style can burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hell yes on the "project" profile field being on each user's post. On a related note, I wouldn't underline names of the profile fields (join date, posts, etc). Bold, maybe, but I'm not diggin' underline. I think we need to revise our rep system so we get multiple blocks sooner. 100 per each extra box is a little too much Uh, yeah. Considering that there are only 3 of us with more than 100, that's a welcome idea. If only I knew how to mess with it. :s For reputation, I like the gauge idea. Or...Genesis emeralds. Advance? Shitsux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hmm, I am still wondering about the gauge idea... Also, I think you should use this icon for Windows Live Messaging: EDIT: These could do for the rep icon: http://www.themysticalforestzone.com/sprites/Sonic/SupaChao/emeralds.png 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 30 rep per additional box (or emerald) would be better. I'll need to talk with the rest of the admins to set this up, though. I think it'd be better if it changed by the member's "status" ("(someone) is an above average member" / "just leave everything to this guy" etc) rather than the current amount of rep. EDIT: Uh, yeah. Considering that there are only 3 of us with more than 100, You, TRD, Rael0505, and LarkSS - 4 actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 @Slingerland: Through the Rep section at the ACP you can configure the threshold for the square ranges. Hit up on AIM and I'll guide you. EDIT: Actually, you need to install an add-on before... You need ftp access. Also, the custom profile fields can easily be added through the skin templates, and the initial text can use styles, like a color, or bold. Alright, I'll prepare it Genesis style, then. The levels, AFAIK are: XYZ hasn't done anything, nothing to see here! XYZ is comin' up XYZ is an above average member XYZ, just leave everything to this guy! XYZ this body glows with amazing/awesome/whatever power! XYZ is an unstoppable force! ...I think it was like that, heh. dnlhern: Hm, nice Live icon, I'll use that one instead, it looks better.

GSF Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 So that's why I never saw that one. WLM stinks, I prefer Miranda. Anyway, back on the skin, new buttons and the rep gauge coming up. After that, the only things left are misc icons such as the new/no new replies ones.

I'm not sure if #4 was replaced with #5 after some changes that were made. Those are the levels that I remember seeing. I just didn't put "Caramel Cod" on there because I don't think it's a rep level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ila Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Not that it really matters what they are. Anyway, I want to contribute. Gsoft I have an idea for the forum index icons that state whether there are any new posts. Give me a day to rip the graphics and I'll show.

GSF Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Sure, ideas would be great for these, I need some new examples... I usually make 'dot' and 'paper' icons only, but I got some variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSF Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Not bad, it's Sonic style. As for topics, they could be the breakable monitors or somethin'. I'll make some quick examples in order to start yet another poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Actually its just that the admins can set rep to whatever they want, so when someone does something really annoying they can easily get -50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSF Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 @Rael: ACP, in the sidebar, head to Reputation. There you can change values and texts. For the rep threshold and other stuff, go to vBulletin Options in the sidebar, then choose Reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah I actually found it right after posting. I could've sworn I deleted my post. Thanks though. I asked because there are certain admin privileges I don't have, and I thought that was one of them until I saw Brad's post (since he and I both have the exact same privileges.)
