    Hello,

    as most of you should know, I was/am working on the Activity Points System the past few Weeks.
    The Core Plugin is done (you get Points for playing, killing and assisting), I am just a bit unsure about the Hats Plugin.

    There are two Options available how this could work:
    1. Once the Player unlocks a specified Amount of Points, he got access to the Hats Plugin and can attach all Effects/Colors (current) - this would require a relatively high Amount of Points (>2,500+)
    2. The Players buys the Effects/Colors he wants (Price will be between 25 (Colors) and 100-450 (Effects) Points), which then are being put into some sort of Inventory and the Player can attach them Later.
      The will expire after one Month and would require a bit higher Coding Work, but it would be easier to get them.

    What do you think?

    The other Benefits (Reserved Slots (8,000+ Points), Round End Immunity, ATB Immunity (6,000+ Points) and maybe shorter votekick/ban/mute Cooldown) will unlock automatically.

    Are the points awarded in the same was as the GameMe points? If so, people could get pretty much everything in about a week, I mean there are people (like Krupp) Who get upwards of 1K points a day, maybe base it on time spent on the server if possible and not count people that just idle all day?

    You get one Point for every:
    - 10th Kill
    - 10th Assist
    - and every 10 Minutes played.

    If there are below 8 Players on the Server, you get 3 Points each (x3 Multiplikator)

    I play often on Playboy's VSH server and they have a system across there servers in which for every 3 minutes you stay on, you get an XP point. You need x points to level up, and each level requires more, and once you get level 85, you can get free VIP. I think something similar to this would be nice. For a LARGE number of points, but it's still possible, you should be able to buy VIP. This would encourage people to try to stay on more and participate within all the servers of FoG.

    That's simply a RPG Plugin then (atleast the Levels) which I don't really like.
    Also, full VIP is preserved for REAL Donators only.

    I'm not sure if for them it's VIP+. I know people who donate get VIP+, assuming there is a normal VIP as well. I'm not exactly sure how ranks work there, but I can see why you say that. If we still had a VSH server though, there could've been a donation system similar where you'd pay a scrap or so to respawn, then 1 rec to be the next Hale, 1 scrap for the ability to change the size of your head, all of these fun things that people would buy.

    The system you mentioned though would be cool. You could also offer access to special commands which allow certain things, such as the ability to change your head size, give unusuall effects to weapons, and other fun things.

    That is something I'd actually enjoy trying to unlock and play with. That's exactly what I had in mind too.

    Does that resizeheads plugin also resize head hitboxes? Because it could be annoying for snipahs. But I think spending the points is good. If you want to keep them, you have to keep playing on our servers.

    As far as I know the headsize doesn't effect the hitboxes. Just gotta get used to shooting people in the mouth or something.

    Yeah since there was a similar problem on that Rawr server, where V.I.P's could make themselves small to the point of invisibilty which caused alot of butthurt.

    Although i think that was a diffrent plugin it could make sniper fights worse then they have to be, and considering i can't aim for crap and my sniping skills consists of dancing and crouching like a confused tiger after inhailing weed to dodge bullets this'll make it even harder.

    Is this idea still casting web, or has it been dropped?

    I'd have even more reason to blow my load on the server each night if so.
