As a small test purpouse, i have attempted to install the plugin and have given Steelgrassify a random "Badge" which would be a shaymin similar to the one in my profile avatar. Note that this isn't an official badge and is only for testing purpouses(So don't feel jelly bros). So it is possible to add the badge system, however i am now trying to figure out how to edit it, in order to add more images as it appears after the settings were saved the plugin edit settings have been locked. Edit: I have solved the problem above shortly. And now i will attempt to make the badge appear in the mini-profile(The one used when posting) so that it appears more notable, and so that you aren't required to go to the person's profile to see the badge, or clic the badge area of the miniprofile. Edit 2: I feel the badge system is now stable, i will try to make a few more badges to test it out and see how stable it is. Once i have decided it is functioning correctly i will remove the testing badges, create a thread to make the first official badge which shall be used as an award for the winner of a future pokemon chaos tournament, as well as decide the tournament itself. For the staff members i would like you to try to give a badge to other staff members or some members to test if you can give badges, as it would be very beneficial if staff members can give badges in case i cannot give them myself. As for the post count system, it appears i can change the stars in the names of people which by default represent a rank based on the post count. I will soon replace them with images which i will also make a poll-thread to decide with which images it should be changed.

The thing is, I'd be willing to make scratch sprites or custom digital art for badges as they are needed. I'm not really sure about just making a bunch of random ones and putting them up to vote to be used. I'd prefer having a list or something of that sort or even general ideas to use as reference.

Sounds really cool wolf! I'm excited to see what we can do to make that work, and the badges system seems pretty cool as well. Everyone can see you're putting forth a great effort, I'm glad everything seems to be going fine so far.

Don't worry, the current ones i am asking for are only for testing purposes. The official ones for tournaments will be one badge, and have a given time to be registered, as well as you will have time and if possible details on a few specifications for the badge. So what i want to say is that i won't be asking a lot of random badges, i am just currently testing the feature of badges, as the one i gave steel wasn't designed as a badge, just a pokemon sprite.

Wolf Prince, do you want badges to be any specific canvas size? I think I might go ahead and make one for testing.

Almost anything is useful, i added your badge and gave it to you. I believe it would look good if it had a transparent background. As of now i will open a thread for discussing the badge system.

Zermonious, if you are a pixel artist, I suggest the following: Make the badge in pixels (like always) and then adjust the size, 500 will do. Or you can use Photoshop -_-

A thread under the announcement board has been made for the further discussion of the badge system. A few specifications there were made for those willing to help test the badge system.

Edit: I want to state that I am stay going to be visiting here for the next couple of weeks to see if Wolf need any help with the forum.

Just volunteering myself for if anyone needs any sprite work done (like with the final badges and such).
I like the idea of having a personal badge that other people get by defeating you. It's sort of like having your own gym.

For the post amount rank, i am currently testing the images which can be used for it, what size and some other stuff, when i finish testing it i will create a thread/poll for everyone to vote or suggest what should be used for the post rank(pokemons, trainers, pokeballs,etc.). I will also be able to use special images for the staff members which will be decided by the staff members only. Now as the badge system feels stable in my opinion, i will create a thread to discuss the tier, theme,rules,etc. of the next pokemon chaos tournament which will also be the first tournament to give as an award a Badge. Once the theme/tier are decided i will open another thread for submitting badges and voting for the submitted badges.
