Mist - I was actually considering doing something very similar - where you could select a head, body, and legs for your pet. But I doubt I wil be adding this until version 3 or 4.

Version 2 is coming along nicely, It uses knoman's level hack, and it will be compatible if you already have the hack for your members, as it adds new stats for your pets :)

Glad you like it Julie :)

I like it. Thanks a lot.

Yay! You released it - thanks for crediting me too :P

Will install hopefully when I pay my host lol

Hey, good luck :)

Version 2 is ready for release - well, the code is... just need to make the install instructions and wait for Danwei to finish the images! I will attatch a screen shot sometime soon :)

Cool i'm sure you could create an image based on the gender and type of pet too :)

- miSt

The images are being implemented now, there will be a different image for each pet and gender.

And then I have no idea what to add next :) Any suggestions?

Here's an early screenshot of version 2, I am just tidying it up a bit while danwei is workin on the images.

Hehe, funny hack. Maybe you could make some kind of tamagochi system. So you have to feed your pet and make it sleep and stuff like that. And if you don't, your pet dies (that'll make people visit your board often). :)

Thats a very good idea, but also very hard to implement, I will try my best! After v2 is finished that will be my target I think!

In basic it is a funny way to bring people back to your forum to feed the pet/tamagochi. The HP/EXP indicators however are imho irrelevant because the pet does not fight. You could also add a grafical display with the milkproduction from cows during the autumn, it would be a similar type of information. The stamina/endurance is more involved in the relation pet versus condition. So it needs only one indicator, that would be fine and it saves space in your postbit.

To get the most out of this, it would be great to bring in other hacks and functions or parts of them. Think about the gill-points hack...change that name and output in tiberium or hamburgers, or just food.
There is a 'blur avatar' hack around so maybe you can blur the pet when it is almost dead. The Store hack from Lesane could be involved to let members buy things for their pet.
Crucial i guess is the timespan between a full health pet and a dead one. The indicator should shrink in a timeperiod for about two days or so. After that it gets ill and turns into a blur for another period of time and eventually dies by lack of support. It's just an idea, other events may occur if their is to little attention for this.

The pet will not do or in the most cases futile for adults, so consider an adro?d or a babe or maybe an alien for this group. Feed your babe with candy or chocolate to undress her or give your alien tiberium to prevent an invasion. (fake virus hack could do funny things for example)

I'm not that good with php to make a two days indicator that can be set to full power again when you feed this pet, so all i can do is contribute some idea's. It has a lot of potential and with some creativity it could turn into a hit. ;)
