I just downloaded the latest dev and official, and I can't see the userpoints_badges module in either of them?

You are not blind. You are just confused.

That module exists only in the 6.x version.

Ah ok, is there another way to do the same thing in D5?

The whole module needs to be ported to D5 if you want that functionality.

So as of right now, there is no possible way other than manually, to give people badges based on how many points they have? seems wierd ... seems like something that'd be a regular feature req on many D5 forums.

your assertion is correct that there is no way in D5 to do this integrated with userpoints.module.
If you want that feature that badly, feel free to offer a bounty to get it backported.

As far as your other assertion that it would seem like a feature many would want, I'd have to assert that if that was the case it would already be ported or a bounty would have already been put together.

I assert it must be a very complicated backport? ;)

I assert that someonoe would have to understand the innerworkings of both modules.

I assert that there is another way to do this, for anyone else interested in getting a useful answer in the future:

The Badge module allows you to assign badges to roles. You create as many roles as you need, assign the badge(s) that will be awarded when the userpoint goal(s) are reached, then use userpoints_roles to set the points goals. Once the points are reached for the role's badge you want to automatically assign based on points, it'll assign the role(s), which also automatically assigns the badge(s).

Not as graceful as a simple and direct module, but hey, works.

I installed 6 version and userpoints_badges is nowhere to be found, tried latest 2 and 1 version, where is it?

It's in the 6.x version. I downloaded to check and there is indeed a userpoints_badges folder with files contained in it. Have you checked your folder structure?
