-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

Good news!!!

Awards for participants soon will be added.

 

But before we must decide and choose the following things:

 

Award Name

The award will be identified by this

 

Tooltip for unAwarded/Achievement display

Text to diplay to explain how to get this award in the unAwarded/Achievement boxes only.

 

Short Description

Brief description about this award.

 

Long Description

Long description (html allowed) for use in Cabinets.

 

^^ The above will need to be used for each award. I'll also need to find a trophy/graphic to use for each award.

 

Big thanks @Unleashed2k, it´s his work!!

 

We need your suggestions and ideas about every position above in qoute:

1. Award Name

2. Tooltip text for unAwarded/Achievement display

3. Short Description

4. Long Description

5. Graphics for every Awards (max size 40x40 should look good on 25x25 too), should look good on both website themes (black & white)

 

Example as it will look:

Feel  free, post your ideas, suggestion, graphics for Awards. The faster we agree, the faster it will be implemented.

Every suggestion may be helpful.

For start my suggestion:

Type in order priority because in one moment can be selected only one of all types awards:

1. Awards of winners week challenge 

There may be need for every of paths different Award. And maybe only first place or for three places

1 Award of participants from Diehard men list

3. Some awards for top player of  Rodman`s Leaderboard - but i have not idea now, how it to use with awards above. 

One very important question @Unleashed2k :

 

Will one user be able to wear only one, or multiple awards at a time?

 

If multiple we could have winner (last weeks challenge) and leader (10-weeks leaderboard) awards..

Ok, there some semi manufactures and base ideas about graphics:

For 1-3 places winners types:

With colors ribbons we can show path winners.

Other type:

For Diehard men:

Simple for all path and no matter how long member is in list:

Yet variant for every path with color:

Yet one variant no matter which path, main it how long in row members in list 

5 week bronze, 10 week silver, 15 week gold:

It is only base ideas, there of course all need rework.

Someone asked for my salt grain so here's my contribution/ideas (Gold):

There yet i did  my variants,

For first place:

For Diehard men:

 

http://i.imgur.com/CsE6gpU.png

So... we have 3 different categories:

1. Last week (3 paths, and 4 difficulties)

2. Leaderboard (3 paths, and 4 difficulties)

3. Diehard List (3 paths)

 

This results in 2 x 3 x 4 + 3 = 27 different trophies.

Potentially, one user could have 9 of those at the same time.

 

I think this is too much. We will need to think about what we really need / want and how to make different symbols for that :-)

I would like to see:

1. Week winner - trophy, different colors (paths), different level of detail (classes), with i.e. plain pick for beginner, and for each next class, cooler looking evolution of earlier one (so you can easily distinguish them).

2. Die hard - some kind of band (ribbon), something small, as it isn't so important.

3. Rodman's Ranking - maybe number, which will be inside of the Week Winner trophy?

It would be great if we could make it clean and not much space wasting, so it can fit single row, even when someone has trophy in each category.

@@Azrael I suppose for begin there no divide trophy for different difficulties, only 3 for three paths. And the more you forget about 3 places :) It will 81 types trophies, that no real. It impossible managed without any system of automatic scripts. 

And trophy for winners have priority, if diehard men win, in topic view appear trophy of winner on one week. 

base version:

3 paths * 3 places = 9 types of winners

and diehard men  one for all paths. Summary it is only 10 trophies.

 

Update.

1. About difficulties. For avery participants in its class hard to get first place (in ideal situation), so there no sense divide trophy. They getting via hard practice. 

2. Trophy very small, so they must be cool and good look without overloaded information. Must be like real trophy, but not some statuses. All who see it trophys in forum must be want got one for himself and come in in championship. :)

3. There is sense extend base version, for honour real great players who is on first places leaderboard by Rodman (every paths, only MC). there is variant to set priority 2, between week winner and diehard men. So if week winner , show winner trophy, else if on top Rodman leaderboard, show trophy "Awesome guitarist",  else show Diehard men trophy, and else no any trophy. it is yet +3 types trophy. More will be complicated managed.

 

Update2. 

There why  importantly have three trophy for 3 places. Оften we have same winner a few in row in some class, so if 2 and 3 places will have trophy, so there is more motivation for continuing challenge for 2 and 3 places. no one  lost interest. 

So... we have 3 different categories:

1. Last week (3 paths, and 4 difficulties)

2. Leaderboard (3 paths, and 4 difficulties)

3. Diehard List (3 paths)

 

This results in 2 x 3 x 4 + 3 = 27 different trophies.

Potentially, one user could have 9 of those at the same time.

 

I think this is too much. We will need to think about what we really need / want and how to make different symbols for that :-)

If someone gains more thank 1 award why not just award him a "multi tasker" trophy. One trophy awarded for 2 or more achievements?

You could have bronze Multi task trophy for 2-3 achievements, silver for 4-6 and gold for 7-9. Would minimise the amount of space being taken up...

@

If I understand correctly, then I really like your suggestions :-D

So just to make sure we talk about the same thing:

1. Last Week Trophy: Different symbols for Lead, Rhythm and Bass, and different colors for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. A user can gain three trophies at the same time.
2. Leaderboard Trophy (=Rodman's Ranking): Different symbols for Lead, Rhythm and Bass, and different colors for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. A user can gain three trophies at the same time.
3. Diehard Trophy: One symbol for everyone, displayed when user is on the Diehard List (path doesn't matter)

In the order above, only the most valuable trophy is displayed per user and per path. This means that a user can have a maximum of three trophies displayed at a time.

Now we could discuss if the "Leaderboard" is actually more valuable than the "Last Week" :D I'd say yes, because it is harder to get to the top of the leaderboard!

 

I suggest the different colors are standard "gold", "silver" and "bronze".

Then we need two kinds of symbols (Last Week / Leaderboard) with three different styles (L/R/B) each. And one kind of symbol for "Diehard".

If we apply Motives ideas, we won't need a "Multi Task Trophy"

@@Azrael

1. Yes, and no - only one trophy in one time. if anyone winner, not matter how much of paths, we show only one best of trophy "Winner"

2.  There only for top winner for 3 paths and only for MC. Will be good there implementing diff trophy for diff class, but i not sure that we can.

3. Yes

Multitask trophy it same as "a lot different trophy" which will be complicated managed. So as idea i like, but i think we can not implementing it.

about valuable Leaderboard, yes it more hard to get to the top, but it work in long-term, and we in  short-time some lost sense  the week win if show more static trophy, some seems less fun. And leaderboard it more global show us who is more good, there no so big challenge, more matter how much you have skill.

@@Frack nice!

 

We could use those "trophy"-symbols for the "Leaderboard"-Trophy, and the "plec"-symbols in your earlier post for the "Last Week"-Trophy. The different colours can be used for 1st - 3rd place.

But how to distinguish between the paths? Just writing "L", "R" and "B" onto everything would probably look ugly.

 

@

"There only for top winner for 3 paths and only for MC"

I am sorry, but I just don't get what you mean :-)

 

Anyway, I would still like trophies for 1st - 3rd place on leaderboard as well. This would encourage both short term (weekly trophy) and long term (leaderboard) dedication.

But how to distinguish between the paths? Just writing "L", "R" and "B" onto everything would probably look ugly.

 

maybe with a background/frame/socket in the path color of Rocksmith?

Yet my example, used as base idea by Frack:

For intermediate, first place, path- lead size 40pix.

http://i.imgur.com/mHnuljN.png

I find it pretty difficult to read the "Int", but other than that very nice!

Would be great to have a script to manage this...
I personally wouldn't find it all that ugly to have many awards displayed for any given user but if that is not desirable or not possible, then maybe it is possible to award the user all trophies that they earn and let them pick which one/ones to display. I don't yet know how the plugin works...

As long as they fit in one row, I wouldn't mind multiple trophies, too!

Rework, Intermediate -I, fisrt - gold, lead - red.

@ @@Azrael @All

 

In my opinion

- 1-3 for the last week like your cute plectrums

and

- e.g a crown in the paths color with the diff written on only for the leader in leaderboard of each class would be reasonable.

 

I dont think we should point out only the MC leaders.

@@Rodman I thinked about it, and now i agree with you. It so hard to get the top Leaderboard, so we must do special trophy for participants who spend a lot time for making his the top position.

@@Rodman I thinked about it, and now i agree with you. It so hard to get the top Leaderboard, so we must do special trophy for participants who spend a lot time for making his the top position.

Yeah, but i think it would be enough to award the leader of every class.

 

Can anybody try to do crowns (or thrones) :) in the color of the paths with the diff printed on???

I am anything but a designer ;)

 

Your diehard pick looks so killer!!!

Advanced bass, for Rodman leaderboard.

Found other more clear for read font:

Very good images!

But how does it look with a more simple font (e.g. some Sans Serif font)? I kind of like the style you want to achieve, but I still think that it is too hard to recognize the letter...

 

Does the number of stars on the banner have a meaning?
