Trophies Mod - Info + Previews (Image + Video)

[Peter]

Here is some information about a new modification that I have been working on for around 8 months on and off.

Basically the modification mimics how trophies are awarded and synced on the PlayStation 3.

- Trophies can be earned and awarded in real time.
- Staff no longer have to go give a member a trophy.
- Trophies are stored locally.
- Members can manually sync trophies to their profile.
- Auto syncing is done whenever a member modifies their profile.
- Syncing to the profile will allow for that members trophies to be viewed publicly.
- PS3 themed notification (with sound) is shown to the user when a trophy is earned.
- Members page shows trophies earned for each member (if synced).
- Can view other members trophies page
- Browsers supported: Firefox 3.5+, Safari 4+, IE8+, Chrome 4+, Opera 10.5+

Currently I do not have a full trophy list, only a small number have been wrote, I want to get the code to a point where I am happy that it's mostly bug free before writing more.

Some screen shots so far:













Code is currently in alpha phase and is limited to a select few for testing. When more progress has been made, I will post additional information.

Any questions and ideas, please post.

Just want to say this is brilliant. I currently utilise an amazing code written by Todge that allows me to issue trophies to members, but with an ever growing number of users coming on it's really hard to keep track of who has done what in order to achieve a trophy.

I run a PlayStation site (addictedtoplaystation.com and yes it is PB with a custom domain) and I'd sell my soul to have something akin to what the PS3 does so this is looking amazing.

If you want it tested with by a bunch of trophy whores (lol) including myself, on an active PlayStation site then I would be happy to test this out.

Otherwise I'll simply bookmark this thread and keep an eye out with much anticipation.

+1 for offers to test it. Will it be updated to work with v5?

Looks very nice Peter. Mind my asking how you go about awarding the trophies but storing them locally?

It uses localStorage.

I was going to support IE7 and below by using userData, and I did start to write the code for it the other day, however I came to a decision that I will only support attaining trophies in the browsers listed in my first post.

Viewing trophies will be supported in IE7 though.

Anyone got some ideas for trophies that can be earned?

Reach 'X' amount of karma (Milestone trophy)
Add an avatar
Add a signature
Fill 'X' amount of of profile (milestone trophy. 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).

Depending on the board depends on the trophies. I guess you're looking for a set list of trophies that all boards can utilise but at some point you just know there will be a request for custom trophies to be added. Depending on your stance with that depends on the list of trophies as I would assume there will only be so many trophies that EVERY site can use. For example, some forums have stores so you could allocate trophies to that. A DLC set, if you will. I'm brimming with ideas as this is something I'm utilising with said code in my previous post but it's all manual and a bugger to keep track of (however, I do).

Nice work peter! what are you using for the broadcast updates? just AJAX or anything specific ?

[Adam]

Peter, this looks amazing. I am looking for something like this and can not wait until it is done. Congrats on a great code in progress.

Just an update as I have been getting a few Private Messages about this.

I haven't had much time to work on it lately, as work and family commitments have took priority.

If I do work on it, then the best place to see what is getting done is the SVN Log, which you can view here...

Haha, I knew it! That's all fine and well though, you gotta be prepared for when the zombies come, gotta keep your reaction time up and attention to detail in the distance.
