+Installation+
+ Queries - 4
+ File edits - 3 files
+ Template Additions - 1
+ Template Edits - 2
+ Image Uploads

+UPDATE+
+Thanks to Link14716, your selections stay selected after your users save them in their profiles. The ZIP file has been updated with the new code. Or if you just want the code then check out THIS post.
+IF YOUR HACK HAS THE ANIMAL 'CATEPILLER' MAKE SURE YOU FIX THE SPELLING ERROR!! Silly me, I misspelled the word 'catepiller'. You need to update /includes/functions_showthread.php and the MODIFYPROFILE template from the word 'catepillar' to 'catepiller' with an E.

*Note: I no longer support this mod in any form or fashion. Please don't PM me with questions about it.

has there been any file edits from the last beta to this, if so is there any point installing it again or not? just dont want to reinstall it if theres no real edits from last beta :)

No point in installing it again. The only change was I made a 'pretty' install file instead of just the regular .txt file. :)

Not sure your supposed to start a new thread when moving from Beta, i think your meant to put the new zip in the original thread and ask a mod or admin to move to full releases. Not 100% sure though. Either way i like the options you listed out there, i will definetly give this a shot when i get the time (Most my members are girls so go figure lol)

Well I am 100% sure.;) I already talked to a mod about it.

Oh ok sorry. (just noticed the features i thought you had are planned ones :( )

Np. Yeah...they are planned ones. This first version is more or less just a port of the old vB2 version with a couple of added kicks but nothing huge. The other options are underdevelopment though.

Maybe the reputation system could be used to 'feed' them or 'starve them to dead' with the images as in karma or with custom images. It would be nice if an animal is visual dead, not just shiny and fresh as if it is healty and alive.

Maybe some other pets, not just fluffy fish or happy dogs but real mean predators and dangerous creatures. :D

The karma system is a good idea. And I'd like to have different "stats of health" for all animals...just haven't made the graphics...and I'm not the greatest at PHP either...so it could take me a little longer to get everything working perfect. (make note that I would love to have some more people jump on board w/ this project)

Better and better
