5perm Count Mod

[ProfHawking]

I've noticed there is a bank feature with the 5perm Count Mod, which would allow you all to deposit your 5perm in the 5perm Bank

Maybe if we could deposit all our 5perm in....

No, scrap that idea.

[spoodie]

Today I noticed that Lanarchy are using it for purchasing the right to have an avatar and signature, not really applicable here but I think it's a nice idea and shows the potential. We just have to come up with some ideas, purchasing rights to do stuff could be a start, but what?

whatever happened to the pets mod?

Thing is, restricting anything until you've got enough 5perm is only likely to discourage people. The pet thing seemed like a novel little timewaster (good timewasting that is) but without variety might get old soon. Now if you could make your pets fight, like a top-trumps thing , THAT would be cool.

egoreply.

looking at the rabbitoshi mod, there's some of that stuff built in.

* Pet status : health / hunger / thirst / hygiene
* Pet shop : buy and sell food and items for your pet
* Hotel : put your pet into the hotel if you want
* Evolution ability :
o Admin can use time requirement ( ie the time the user owns his creature )
o Multi evolution : a creature has no limit for the number of possible evolutions . It may exists more than an evolution at ont time ( such as good or evil pet )
o Pets only available by evolution

* Pet owners list
* Vet : fully heal your pet
* Resurrection system
* Administration :
o Admins can define all the status bars
o Ability to add/edit/delete pets
o Edition of the pet
o All the general settings can be changed using the ACP

* Pet thoughts & alerts
* Sell your pet : his value increases with time

This. Double hard.

Look at the RvB forums for instance. You can only post if you have enough 'karma points' as described below:

Code: Select all

In general, karma is a measurement of how active you are, and how well liked. Everything you do on the site gives you karma, and after every few karma points you get to go up a level. There are 99 levels of positive karma, and 100 levels of negative karma.

Karma is awarded in the following manner:
Every time you post, you get 1/9th of a karma point
Every time you are modded up (people rate your post) you get some amount of karma determined by your karma level and that of the person modding you.
Every time you mod someone else up you get 1/5th of a karma point
Every time you are modded down you lose some amount of karma determined in the same way as being modded up.

At karma level +20 you may start threads, and you gain access to another forum.

To me this is just shit as you get people posting any old drivel that pours out of their mind in an attempt to get more points. OK it may make the forums look more active, but is it quality or quantity you want?

I hope the 5perm thing is just a bit of fun and doesn't end up going this way.

But do they fight?! I've no use for a pet who I can't throw into a vicious battle to the death.

i suspect it's possible to mod the mod to allow such things. i however speak as much php as i do polish.

Them's some shiny shoes you got there

[Woo Elephant Yeah]

Nope 5perm will never restrict what you can or cannot do, it will only ever be there for fun.

And yes Prof, it is pretty pointless at the moment, but really, what else is there left to mod on 5punk's forum?
The "Cash Mod" as it is originally called is used by lots and lots of other mods, which is why I wanted to install it and set it up, let it run for a bit, then add stuff that can utilise it.

5punk is so heavily modified, and I have always been open to suggestions, and I still have a list of things I would like to do from peoples suggestions, but I lack the technical code monkey skills to do it.
I don't want to overload Stoat with stuff, as he is already working on a new version of the 5cheduler and Discussion Board.

I think I'll go compile a list of stuff I have in my brain and in the special secret place, and post it in a minute in another thread so as to not go off topic on this one

But I expect everyone will just say "leave it as it is" again

Nyet zumo popolski - I don't speak Polish*

Now get coding

*Polish translations may be gibberish - I can pronounce them but spelling them's totally different.

I wasn't suggesting restricting anything, I was just using the Lanarchy mod as an example. I was thinking more along the lines of extra powers that people don't have yet, like for example; the ability to change your own custom rank image and/or rank name yourself*
Some toys for the regulars

* just an example, may not be practical

It's Pokémon+Sims+Sonic Chao Garden! WIN!

whats the point?
stupidest board thing ive seen.

Possibly. I love it.

I appreciate the Pokémon comparision isn't exactly going to fill everyone with delight, but (as has been mentioned before) with suitable (or should that be unsuitable) 5punky customisations it could become a top laugh.

Take Urban Dead for example, on the surface a rather drab-looking browser-based game, without (at first glance) much to it. Yet the 5punk collective has managed to subvert it to its own evil purposes, included a large proportion of board members, and even gained us a modicum of notoriety within the game itself.

As far as thats concerned, I think its quite simple:

If it adds things to the board, that people can use if they wish, but dont have to, then thats great.

If it changes how people use the board, whether they want to or not, but doesnt significantly and obviously improve things, people will get upset. Its the old isnt broke, dont fix it thing.

As far as I can tell, stuff like the 5perm mod and its associated animal fun sounds like a good laugh, and a jolly good waste of time. But if people dont like it, they can ignore it and carry on using the board as before. This is how all such things should be.

T'would be awesome. Bit like the digimon toy.



Boy those were the days. :D

That was the thing I was thinking of!

[TezzRexx]

That was the thing I was thinking of!

:D:D They were freaking awesome and if that was intergrated into 5punk, that would be win

[eion]

I like the idea of 5perm, but I demand that we have 5megma too.
