New rank images

[Kamaze]

Hello,

I am currently experimenting with new rank images.
As you may see, the "old stars" has been replaced by the rank images from the game.
Also the Rank images have been placed in front of the username, because under or left to the rank name they looked somehow ugly.

People with < 25 Post don't get any fancy rank image and are called "Greenhorn" (currently 876 member...)

I would like to get some feedback about it, if you like it, or if you want the prior images back, or even a different system, or...


Regards, Kamaze

(btw: Thanks for Kreuvf for extracting the images for the textpages)

Looks nice.

The game uses

Code: Select all

	{0,   0,    N_("Rookie")},
	{4,   16,   NP_("rank", "Green")},
	{8,   32,   N_("Trained")},
	{16,  64,   N_("Regular")},
	{32,  128,  N_("Professional")},
	{64,  256,  N_("Veteran")},
	{128, 512,  N_("Elite")},
	{256, 1024, N_("Special")},
	{512, 2048, N_("Hero")}

So I swapped Green(horn) and Rookie.

Wow very nice, indeed.
The number of posts in the forums should be the same number of kills needed in-game to rank up (or is it like that already?)




Edit: OMGWTH i've been degraded to regular! i was a sergeant xD

QFT!

'Regular' just doesn't have the same feeling as being a 'Sergeant'.  >:( ??? :-\

Why not exdending the use of rank images to developers moderators and to the webmaster too?

[Kamaze]

rank image near your nick? 

[Kamaze]

For the most of us (maybe all) this doesn't matter.

[doom3r]

yeah I know, just kidding... Btw, why not putting some image different from the HQ in the Boards description? For example, putting a research center in the image of "General development" or a Satellite uplink for "announcements/news"...
