I have added a plugin to our forums to show the amount of threads, replies and total to the users small profile window when posting, the forums now have their own small ranking system based on how active you are on the forums (I have no idea how this wasn’t built into the forums, every other forum software has it)
There are a maximum of 9 stars you can earn under your username on the forum, this is based on a total count of topics & replies, this is to help players diagnose active players and active forum members when they get a reply from them. I decided not to show rank names as to not confuse players with in-game ranks, we can also use images/badges, which I may switch to in the future from stars, this would allow much more than 9 ranks, any more than 9 and they overlap onto the forum thread!
I still think this needs tweaking, so if you have any adjustment ideas, then please do reply with ideas.
Current Forum Star Ranking system is based on your total posts (Threads started+replys)
★ 0-25 Total posts
★★ 25-50 Total posts
★★★ 50-100 Total posts
★★★★ 100-250 Total posts
★★★★★ 250-500 Total posts
★★★★★★ 500-1000 Total posts
★★★★★★★ 1000-2500 Total Posts
★★★★★★★★ 2500-5000 Total Posts
★★★★★★★★★ 5000+ Total posts
This plugin also has allowed me to create and assign badges to forum accounts, I have created the following badges for staff, and I am considering having a badge for donators to request a badge. Each has to be assigned manually by me, so don’t go thinking there will be custom badges for your crews!
These are so that players know the staffs in-game status (I might re-make these later to reflect in-game name colors) I used Admin/Mod as these are easier to understand than Commodore/Rear-Admiral, there is an option to display this as text also, which could be another alternative.
(Considering a donator badge)
this is amazing! i remember when i first posted this morning i saw like 20 stars under my name XD thanks godsy!
Haha I was wondering if anyone caught me playing around with it! I’ve edited it like 4 times now, I actually took a screenshot of @CrazyPirate1 when it was overlapping, which I linked in the main post.
When I get the time, I would like to replace the star ranks with specific images per rank, each image could include the star/rank number in it, like the dots in these ones:
Something like this might be cool aswell as 1-34 all have visible rank upgrades
If you google “Forum rank badges” there are millions of examples we could use in the future. It did take a while just to make the staff ones, so I don’t think I will be moving from stars any time soon.
What about different skill and crossbones? Maybe a skull with 2 spades for builder? Skull and sword cross?
Like this?
None of the other badges have icons, it wouldn’t fit in with the existing designs.
Super cool godsy! I saw it this morning when I was looking at something and suspected there was some GodsDead magic at work. Is there a way to make a forum leaderboard kind of like the top 10 liked list?
Hey that’s a good idea, it’s definitely possible, wonder if there’s a plugin for it already
