Free VNXF - Level System 2.0.3

Looking to increase user engagement and interaction on your forum but don't know how? Today, I'll introduce you to the [VNXF] Level System add-on . Designed entirely to Modern & Premium standards , both in terms of algorithms and the cutting-edge Glassmorphism interface, this add-on transforms your forum into a true "Farming Machine," maximizing user retention rates!

The system doesn't calculate levels based on physical experience points (XP) earned from actual activities. It supports two standard MMORPG game calculation methods:

• Linear: Easy to calculate, each level requires the same amount of XP (e.g., 100 XP equals 1 level).
• Progressive: The true level. The higher the level, the steeper the XP required to level up, challenging the Member's patience! Calculation: BaseXP * level^coefficient.

Every design has been meticulously crafted down to the pixel:

• Progress Bar: The striking Neon Gradient design on Postbit creates a visually appealing and professional look.
• Micro-Interactions (Glass Tooltip): When the user hovers the mouse over the experience bar, a Glassmorphism-style tooltip will appear displaying the "Level Achieved / Next Level Needed" information in a very subtle and compact way, saving mobile space.
• The unique Dynamic Badge system: 10 tiers of colors ranging from Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum up to Divine . The higher the level, the more vibrant the badge colors!

Built-in widget for Top Members with the Highest Level:

• Avatar's layout is round, neat, and sophisticated.
• Responsive and self-adjusting.
• Set the number of widgets displayed flexibly in the Widget Options.

Easy to manage, transparent, and robust:

• Interaction Log: Records all XP farming transactions by members (Who? How much? From which post/thread/reaction?), includes a one-second Clear Log button for a super cool database cleanup.
• Custom Titles: Administrators can change the display title for each level as they wish (e.g., Level 1 - Rookie, Level 99 - Demon Lord).
• Modify 1-1 parameters: You can go to User Edit in AdminCP to directly "inject" the current XP level or percentage for a specific user easily.
• The Total Historical XP storage mechanism ensures that users will NEVER lose XP or cheat levels whenever you change the point-earning coefficients.

To ensure the system functions correctly after installation, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STEPS CAREFULLY .

After installing the add-on, go to Options > [VNXF] Level System. Here you decide the fate of your forum grinding level:

• XP (Per Action) Rewards: This section specifies the number of XP received for posting new content, commenting, or receiving Reactions.
• Max Level: Prevents spamming that could overwhelm the universe (Default 100).
• Formula Type: It should be set to Progressive .
• Base XP: How much XP is needed for level 2? (It should be 50 or 100).
• Multiplier: The higher the multiplier , the more bitter the game becomes from Level 3 onwards. (Recommended to use a fixed value of 1.2 to 1.5)

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AREA. The add-on is designed with Data Safe standards . Therefore, every time you change the 4 core parameters in Options (Formula, Max Level, Base XP, Multiplier) and click Save , the algorithm will not be activated immediately to avoid freezing/lagging the forum if there are thousands online.

You must force the Xenforo system to recalculate after saving the configuration by:

1. Go to Admin CP -> VNXF Level -> Manage Levels .
2. Find and click Rebuild Base XP Formula . This will change all level scoring benchmarks in the database.
3. Next, find the " Rebuild All User XP" command and click " Run" to have the system rescan your total points and automatically distribute rewards/titles according to the new formula to all Forum Members!
4. If you have manually adjusted the XP points and Level for a user, you must use Safe Rebuild All User XP instead of Rebuild All User XP to avoid losing the points you adjusted yourself.

Showcase member achievements to boost engagement:

1. Go to Appearance -> Widgets .
2. Click Add widget -> Select [VNXF] Top Level Widget.
3. Enter the number of members you want to display (e.g., 5).
4. In Display in positions , select Forum list: Sidebar or Forum list: Above nodes, depending on your forum structure. Test it on the interface!
