Is there a way to add the pet into vertikal user info ?

You need to put the $vb3petsthreadbit in "postbit_legacy"

I followed the install file exactly and cant seem to get it to show up in the postbit.

When i go to the profile to input information ill hit save but it wont change anything.

Also I did add $vb3petsthreadbit in postbit and postbit_legacy.....

Are there any plans to make this HTL compatible? This would make it far easier for me to deal with.

What version of vB are you using?


Not vB3 Pets v1...but the next version we release in the next couple of weeks will be.

I have to say that I have this hack installed in my RC4 messageboard and it installed flawlessly. Very awesome job guys. I did not find a use for this, but my users love it.

What I would like to see is some ACP control (turn on/off the pet system, allow/disallow pets from certain users/groups, modify the exp table, etc).

In addition, the ability for me to add/remove pets would be awesome.
Maybe some pets that are free (and look like it) and others that can be bought.
Maybe buying items for your pet and have it displayed by the pet graphic.
Maybe having certain pets not be available until you have xx posts.
How about pets for particular usergroups only.

Can't wait for 2.0. Good job on this one.

Awsome comments bitg - I hope to see all of those features also.

Hello bitg. Glad you like the hack! Thanks for the nice comments. I'll use this post to go ahead and update everyone on the status of 2.0. The development of vB3 Pets 2.0 is coming along nice. We've, for the most part, established the layout of the "Pet Shop". The Pet Shop is where 90% of pet interaction will take place. We are also developing our own store for the pet shop so you can buy things for your pets, pay for your pet to get pet sitted by another member, feed your pet, etc. etc. We've completed numerous features of the hack already but the 2 main things left to code are the store and the battle system. The store has been coded to some extent, but the battle system is yet to be started on. Our goal is to release vB3 Pets 2.0 shortly after vB3 Gold is released. That way, we can be sure that Pets 2.0 will be compliant right from the start with Gold. Anywho...thanks again everybody for all the input and nice comments. You guys and gals rock.:ninja:

I'm having this same problem, and now that I've gone over the changes I made several times and my head is swimming with code, I'm hoping someone here can help me! Upon each lookover, everything appears to be in its proper place, although of course it's not because I can't get the pets to appear in the postbit. LOL! I can change them within my profile, I can see the pet images are in the correct folders on my server, etc. I'm just at a loss right now as to what piece of code I may need to re-tweak to get this to work. Thanks in advance for your help!! :D

Oh, I'm running vB3 RC4.

OK, nevermind. LOL!! It's working this morning ~ my members had found it already and put it to work!

AWESOME hack! {off to click INSTALL}

This is about the Pet Store you're going to have.

I already have a point system in my message board, can you put an option, similar to the Arcade Pass hack, that can tell where the points table is at? For example, my point table is in the user table called "rpgmoney". Would I easily be able to tell the Coding from the Pet Store that that's the money I want to use?

Well, yeah, it would be as simple as change a couple variables in the code...but since you mention it, we make it an option in the admin CP to set the field name of your points. Thanks for pointing that out.

That rocks man! I can't wait to see 2.0 come out!

I need help, something got messed up when I was changing the modifyprofile template and now there's an error when you try to change your profile and I can't seem to fix the template whatever I do

Edit: I found the error, I... kinda.... seem to have edited the wrong part of the template. But the idiot I am I haven't got a backup. Am I screwed completely?

"Something got messed...there's an error....I need help." Okay...am I supposed to just "know" what the problem is? You're gonna have to be WAY more specific that "there's an error, I need help."

I found the error, I... kinda.... seem to have edited the wrong part of the template. But the idiot I am I haven't got a backup. Am I screwed completely?

Are you refering to the templates or the PHP files? If it's just at template, then you would just have to revert back to the original file.

My members are asking if there pet status can be shown in the admin cp as well as in the showthread, I`ve tried playing around with this a little myself but as yet have had no luck with it..

I'm a bit confused...why would your members care if the pets can be shown in the Admin CP? They can't see it...

I think he means to see the status of your own pet in userCP.
As it is, you have to go find your post(s) to see your pet status.

any update when the next release will be.. i wanna wait for the upgrade

Yes, JackG has it right in his post (thanks).. I meant UserCP. I was a little tired when I typed the message, they want to be able to see there status in the side panel on the usercp rather than searching for a post.

(this in reference to ZSDave's Pet Hack as he lamely attempted to spam the thread.. post has now been removed but still my comment stands true) Nice enough hack some nice features an` all but with just one Pet It just wouldn`t cut the mustard with my members they like there variety. Also I don`t think it`s fair to "spam" another hack creators thread to promote your own, but that`s just a personal opinion.

EDIT: Mods took care of the problem. Thanks.

its not spam, readers of this thread are interested in pets hacks. The hack I have created might be what some readers of this thread would like. I posted an internal link (ie another thread), and as far as I know that isnt breaking any rules.

I appologise if this offends u automatik but we are working to the same goal.

There is a "General Modification Discussion" forum for this sort of stuff. And I would hardly say we are "working to the same".

We are aiming to release vB3 Pets version 2.0 when Gold is released. We have not released it sooner because:

1. We want it to be compatible with Gold. If we released it now, we'd have to released an updated version and with Gold's release being so soon, it would be pointless to do that.
2. We want to make sure our hack is bug free.

Thanks everybody for being patient. I promise good things are own the way. Hopefully we'll be able to give you guys/gals some screenshots this weekend.

how much percent does the progress go ?
Gold will be out soon next week.
do you have a specified time for ur v2 ?

As I JUST said. We plan on releasing right after Gold is released.

k
did you do these below yet ?
or even more than this ? ^^

when will a .htl install file be availavle?

Man, you have seriously gotten on my last nerve. STOP POSTING IN MY THREAD ABOUT YOUR HACK! You have been reported.

EDIT: Thank you mod's for deleting his post.

I agree you need to stop flaming another hack about your own. Just go ahead and continue making your own pet hack as you have done

I read his post, that was very rude. I thought private messages were suppose to be "private". In any case, I have 3 choices of Pet hacks now. @_@;;

There's Petz, this one, and someone else I know is making one the way I'd like it (custom made). But I'm cutting them down to yours and the custom one because of the database. They both would end up using the same point table. This is gonna be rather difficult to choose, but... I'd like to help with your hack. Is there any way I can help you with?

AutomatikStudio, how about my question ?

We have done most of the things on that list and more. More being our own store and point system.

Really looking forward to the next version, my members and I can`t wait to be able to do a little more with our pets :) Do you have any screenshots of the next version to share? Just to wet the appetite while we wait?

Giveit2u43, just wait for 7 more days till the vb3 gold's out then you can see it lives ^ ^
thank you for the news, AutomatikStudio. I'm really looking forward for this hack. My community cannot use a RPG battle hack so that the pets hack will satisfy my users well.

Deathemperor, seven days is a long time (Just ask Craig David *L*)

but it's better than don't even know when
