Default Project Update

Yea... so I've been kinda innactive lately but I am starting to work on my projects again. Here is the list and the approximate finish dates of each:
  • VictoryDex: Generation Five Pokémon (High Priority; Should be Finished Late-October or Early-November)
  • VictoryBattles RC1 (Medium Priority; Should be Finished Late-November)
  • VRGL Badge System Final (Low Priority; Should be Finished Late-October)
  • Crystal Islands Version 2 (Low Priority; Second Beta Mid-November)

I will update the status of each of these in this thread. Indeed, I am starting work on the VRGL Badge System right after I post this.

Thanks a lot for the clarification, FW. I'm sure you'll come up with something amazing for the gym badges.

VRGL Badge System Beta 1 out. Expect final in a week or two, which will hopefully add a better badge case display, the ability for admins to revoke badges, and links from the UserCP and Community Tab.

That's nice that people can now have Badges and prove that they have them other than claims.

I have an question can you view other members gym badge. If a gym is no more do you still have the badge (it doesn't matter for me.)

I have finished the signature mod minus cross-browser testing. If it works, you should find that you can hide/show signatures on a per-user basis and it will be remembered for all pages you visit.

I'm currently working on the former - it will appear in the profile community tab and in the postbit beside the trophies.

Also, if a gym is gone, you /could/ keep the badge, but it will ultimately be Shadow's choosing.

So what you mean is when this is all done, the people who has beaten the Gym Leaders might have to beat them again?

Well, it'll be a different leader, and possibly a different badge. Actually, it would /have/ to be a different badge with the way things are implemented. That was the idea - there could be some old badges that people would still have if a gym leader resigned.

That would be nice that if Users still had their old Badges, but some of the Leaders Resigned and Different Leaders came in with a different badges.

I mean Basically this could overall make people later on have about 60 badges as an average.

Yes, I definitely agree that even after a leader resigns, people who defeated that leader should still keep the badges. I don't see any problem with a user accumulating several dozen badges; it just shows they are good at battling.

This reminds me of the instances in the game where in one version, there's one gym leader, and in the next or a later version, there's another.

Ex: Ruby/Sapphire- Wallace; Emerald- Juan

No. Any person who already defeated a particular gym leader will get the badges when the page is released. This MAY be subject to change, but I highly doubt it.

I would happily accept that, but then it would be confusing to know which are the gym badges used by the current gym leaders.

Hm, maybe Freeze could separate the badges between old and current?

Idea: Maybe all the old badges that people won become greyscale, so that people know what's current (Coloured) and what's old (Grey). All the badges right now have at least some colour in them.

I was thinking basically the same thing. Also, the fact that old badges`ll count now means I`ll have one extra badge But in regards to the badges, sure, they`re nice as trophies, but the requirement for "conquering" the Gym League is the defeat all 10 Gym Leaders. If I use myself as an example, I currently have 2 badges (I was so close with Kazam xD), and had defeated Jad prior to him resigning. Even if I get to keep the badge (Jad`s), will it go towards completing the Gym League challenge, or is it strictly defeating all current Gym Leaders? I don`t really have a problem either way, battling Gym Leaders usually makes me stronger, I was just wondering whether it would be required for me to defeat TRDRS upon this new "revision" on keeping older badges.

Right now I don't think you really can "win" then Gym League challenge.. It's sorta-just a thing to do. But if there is some kind of was of "winning", then I'd like it if it was just a 10-badge limit, any badge. But I juts see it as something to do, like trying to collect as many as you can.

Winning for me would basically just be defeating all the Gym Leaders. By that point, I should be really strong, I get better with each Gym Leader I battle.

I really like this idea! Maybe FreezeWarp can implement it in the next beta or something? It's all up to him.

Hmm... I think you need to collect the badges of the current 10 gym leaders to 'conquer' the Gym League. In spite of that, having a larger number of badges will only mean that you're a stronger battler, which is always a welcome recognition in my opinion.

I like the badge system but it doesn't have all the badge that everybody. Freeze all you need to is to look on the gym league and contact gym leaders. Formers and the ones now. Does a gym leader get there badge?

Er... I'm really not the one to talk to for that; Shadow, Spirit, Sunny, and Kaz give out the badges and Ningamer makes them

We have all the gyms archived, Hotblast. If we need info about winners we can just use those threads as a reference.

I could change the badges too gray style. So, it's JADs and Pikaluvs that need graystyling?

Hmm... maybe we can start the gray-scaling from the current badges? Like, if any of the current 10 gym leaders drops, then their badge will be made in gray-scale. I think this is the best idea, but I'll be consulting the other GL staff about this later on just to make sure.

I do still have all the old badges that I made for when there were 17 gyms if you'd like them, by the way.

Since a gym leaders owns his won badge, he has it no matter what. A gym leader can show his own badge if he, later on, wants to show that he defeated all the gyms.

Mind sending those to me gray-scaled? I could at least implement them so a VRGL staff can assign them on a rainy day if they want.

As for the VRGL, you can now view a user's badges in their community tab of their profile. I'll be making it possibly to list badges in the postbit as well, but this hasn't quite worked out perfectly yet. Hopefully soon.

---

Meanwhile, CIR2 Beta 1 has now been released. Its changes include:
  • Javascript Style Switcher
  • Full-Width View
  • Changed Drop-Down Menus
  • Larger Font with Prettier Font-Family

Current bugs include:
  • é displays sorta poorly.

And the next features will be:
  • VictoryBattles and VictoryDex Integration and Login
  • Ideally Better Forum Integration (demoed with DP/Pt/HGSS)

Well, like I said, I think we're going to start implementing the gray-scaling idea starting from the current gym leaders. I'm only saying that so you don't have to do extra work, but it's okay with me as long as they don't appear in the drop-down list, too.

As for the VRGL, you can now view a user's badges in their community tab of their profile. I'll be making it possibly to list badges in the postbit as well, but this hasn't quite worked out perfectly yet. Hopefully soon.

I just checked this, and it's looking great!
Comments in bold. I really cannot express my thanks for dedicating your effort and time to do all this...

You can find the names in the respective gyms in the gym archive sub-forum, same with winners/losers of said badges.

Also, I noticed that Spirit's badge got slightly cut off (That was a fail on my part, the image is even saved to my computer like that .-.). So here it is without being cut off (Still 32x32 though)

I didn't see those names mentioned in the gym threads, so that's why I didn't give them the badges. I'll double check just in case, though.

Note to FreezeWarp: Those are the only ones which need to be added.

Well, Hotblast was asking about my old badge. It was tentatively named the "Fissure Badge", though, if I ever do get my position back, I`ll probably ask for a re-design in some way.
