...and the sky full of stars
They're back, in an austere but (hopefully) functional state. The algorithm for determining the number/color is slightly different but shouldn't be too difficult to figure out ;)
People with AGN positions who don't have distinctive stars (currently people involved in ZC and SE development) should now also have extra titles, freeing up the custom title line.

Re: ...and the sky full of stars
So it's been noticed. :) We've been commenting on the visual progress in chat. Thanks so very much for doing this, DD! It's really nothing to point a stick at, that's for sure.
Hm. By the old methods, those with 10,000+ posts should actually have four of either http://www.armageddongames.net/forum...tar_silver.gif or http://www.armageddongames.net/forum.../star_gold.gif stars. Eh. *Likes to hoard pointy things* I think I do remember the old color styles, more or less.
So what was the algorithm used, anyway?
Oh, the list of stars is Here. I believe it's listed in order of use as well. Also note that there are also Circles for first years, Diamonds for second years, Stars for third years, Rupees for fourth years, some sort of skull mask (No idea what they're called.) for the fifth years, and Yin Yangs for the sixth years. We've got no seventh or eighth years that I can tell. ... Eh, ignore that. That was just the excited rush of extrapolation with the "OMG ACTUAL STARS 'n shyt."

Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Reinstating that particular system would require a vB hack, which I don't feel quite up to yet. Maybe in the future.

Re: ...and the sky full of stars
I seem to have some stars under my name now. Schweet.
Thanks, DD. So I guess this means someone's actively in charge of the site once again?
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Wow, I feel so much cooler now. I'm so glad that this is back.
So we're not going to have different shapes for a certain number of years anymore?
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
And support the rise of No-Post-opia? :p I think colors for post counts is good enough.
I think... :scared:
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
wtf going on here, is DD a administrator of the forum only or also of www.zeldaclassic.com? would beta testers for ZC have a extra title?
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Thanks DD, I enjoy my purple stars =D
I think it'd be neat to see the different shapes for different years brought back.

Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Is this the reason that all my access privileges are gone all of a sudden?
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Nice to see the stars back once again.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Thank you Darky for ALL you do for us ...
<hug>
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
DarkDragon, thank you very much! I've yet to see my colors, but I'm sure I'll like them. ;)
EDIT: Schweet. Blue. Green. Silvars!

I didn't like when that was done. It was too complex and tacky.

Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Thanks DD...
Am I the only one who can't figure out what the number of stars means?
I am pretty sure that color=rank right?
Excuse me for being ignorant...and an idiot for not being able to figure this out...
EDIT:
wait, I think number=rank and color = uhoh... now I am confused again.
EDIT2: Color=post count? But that doesn't apply to staff?
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
1-3 stars for members.
5 stars for mods.
7 stars for admins.
Color based on number of years here (unless you're staff).
This looks like it might be temporary since I think DD is still tinkering with a few things.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
What determines the 1-3 stars? Post count or Years been here? Isn't that the same as the color?
Also I am assuming 6 stars = SM
EDIT: now I have diamonds too =o
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Yeah, more and more people are starting to get diamonds.
Regular members get 1-3 depending on post count. Color is based solely on number of years (unless you are staff).
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
It appears that the diamonds indicate which year of membership you are on. The number of complete years you've been a member plus one gives you your diamond count.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Well then what's the point of colors now?
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Okay, tonight's "let's figure out the vBulletin API" experiment has resulted in the diamonds. Here's how the system stands.
Stars: These are in reverse priority order; you get the first of the following that you qualify for.
(Staff, Gold)
7 Stars: Administrators
6 Stars: Senior Moderators
5 Stars: Moderators
(Adjoint Staff, Silver)
5 Stars: Developers
4 Stars: Hosted Forum Moderators
(Others)
1 Pink Star: Banned members
2 Purple Stars: New members (< 100 posts)
3 Stars: Full members. The color of the stars is a function of your post count.
Diamonds: These are easy. You get one per year you've been at AGN.
I'm pretty happy with the system as it is now, and will probably leave it largely alone.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
lol thanks for the explanation DD...
the new system looks great!
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Could we get a scale here so we know what color corresponds to what post count?
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
now theres diamonds AND stars oO.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Thanks DD, I can finally see the order of it.

*looks at this, looks at Trevlyan_06's diamond ocunt, looks back at the post, then slaps face*
Oh shit... And I nominated Trev for best newbie...
*slaps forehead repeatedly against a wall*
Me = idiot :laughing:

Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Bout time. I was getting sick of the yellow stars I had.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Very very nice Darky... thanks hon :) Very pretty decorations :)
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
I like this!:) Thanks DarkDragon.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Very excellent, DD. It's great to see that you're taking initiative as a new administrator.
*thinks to himself* So does "???: ???" mean that there could be a color of star after 10,000? Intriguing...
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
And by that scale, it would be infared, I'd like to see how a my eyes do with handling that wavelength.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Actually, I believe that the final star color is...
(Do not read if you don't want to know!)
...black. But, I could be wrong. I went into the old star update thread, and it was the only color left.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Wow, thats alot of diamonds.
~ JJ
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
It is indeed a lot of Diamonds. In fact, I think I've seen the exact same configuration of Diamonds and Stars that you have someplace else. But I'm not sure where. :blah:
Nice to see the stars back. Good work, DD.
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
what relevance is the colour of the stars? or the amount of stars you have?
-
Re: ...and the sky full of stars
Did you even try to read this thread? :)
Post #27 shows the colors are by post count.
The diamonds show how long you have been registered.
