Update to 1.1.6 + INVENTORY SHOP MOD

I just updated the board to 1.1.6 (those wacky security holes) and while I was at it, installed a new Inventory Shop mod, which gives users money for posting and allows them to buy equipment.
I'm going to be adding some new equipment eventually, but rightn ow it's the default stuff. Enjoy!

Awesome, thanks Webrunner.

Edit: Oh god, I just noticed how you GET money. The spam fourms are going to explode and engulf the fourm in a deadly storm of stupid pictures.

Personally, I think, if there is any feasable way to do this, that the Spam forums should not contribute to your total of money.

It already contributes to the amount of posts, and that's enough of a 'status symbol', in a way.

Let the inventory items be a way to reward posters who actually post things with meaning and relevance.

Yaaaay!  I'm going on a shopping spree!!!  Me love fancy things!   Me love everything!   Yaaaay!

((Um, that was not supposed to sound pansy))

And I need a budget...

Plus, perhaps the spam forum can be excluded from this?

*flees*

The Spam Forum shall now be known as Gold Mining Country!

Get to digging everyone!

I edited the PHP and specifically excluded the spam forum, so no worries about that, eh?

Don't give me that look.

... does the equipment system save what gear you've bought in the past, or bought already and can re-equip later? Or is saving up for the expensive stuff smarter for showing off?

I have no idea, although it looks like it doesn't? maybe? I don't know. I didn't make it.

Is this inventory just for show, or is there more to it?

So far it seems just for show, I'm not sure. Though if it develops a buy and sell market, then things will really get rolling - especially with auctions for rare stuff. I posted some suggestions in the testing forum as this is more of announcements. Though it's practically, similar to the ranks system. I just sometimes needlessly over complicate things ^^.

Do post edits gain you any money? Because if they do, the mods could make a HUGE amount of money off of that...

Probably not, because it seems like the post count - if they edit posts, the post count still stays the same.  Though I wonder what happens to deleted posts?  Does the money drop?  What if we're at zero and then we delete a post - does that make the money go negative?

I'm just going to append this to the test forum...

Edit: checking if money is effected by edits

Result: Nope, it doesn't get affected by edits.

"You're Stats"

You are stats?

I'm stats?

The header says "You're Stats." It should be "Your Stats."

So it's just a 'look at me, I post a lot' thing...but hey! Something to add a degree of interest, right?

Though it does take up a good pit of space per post, which could get annoying scrolling through it...any way to disable that view?

I guess i'll check out "what happens if a post gets deleteed" test.

The amount of blank space this adds to my posts is really intolerable. This should be reserved for profile pages and not forced into the already-overstuffed avatar window, in my opinion.

I see I have help in the typo-catching division, which is nice...

Test complete, you don't lose the money if the post gets deleted.

Here's a question, though- it's already taking up an inch or two of space below equipment...what if you go over that? Or can you only 'equip' one of each type of item, and they all fit in that space?

EDIT: Oh, that'll be interesting....something needs to be done to that. I'd also suggest editting/deleting that post until Webrunner can do something 'bout it. Because I doubt that nobody can/will exploit that...

I collapsed the equipment to one line so it shouldn't take up nearly as much room (in fact, I think it's just one line more then it was before)
