Something like this would likely be very awkward to implement in the current system which is not designed around editing current monsters. In addition it would require significantly more in the way of artwork (which is expensive :P).

Essentially if we went down that route we would have to scrap the ability for people to choose and customise individual body parts and just force them to have pre-created monsters like in pokemon, which isn't really a route we want to go down (customisation and users feeling like the pet "belongs" to them are two of our bigger goals)

Now I am having a problem with the world map. My designer edited it and all and it is a JPEG and roughly the same size. I uploaded it to my server with the same name as the original (Deleted the original of course) and now it won't show up in the Control Panel. Do you know why?

[DragonByte Tech]

I'm afraid I don't - try right clicking the image in the control panel -> view image, see what the page says then.

on the battle screen im having trouble with the info box that comes up when you hover over the commands - the info appears but wont disappear or move and its hard to select the commands as this box is over the radio buttons - if i scroll down it follows down too

also how long does breeding take? I had 2 monsters been breeding for over a week now!

[DragonByte Tech]

v1.0.4 has been released to fix all outstanding known issues.

To upgrade, follow the normal procedure when updating a product.

It can be a bit quirky but it will eventually disappear - blame mice being too fast and browsers too slow

That's determined by your species' breeding settings

Very nice on. I like playing RPGs Is there any way to get a TCL Mod for eggdrop that posts battles etc in an IRC Channel?

[DragonByte Tech]

I have absolutely no experience working with any of the systems you mentioned so that's unfortunately not something I'm able to add in the foreseeable future unless there's enough demand for me to learn it


Fillip

[Kyojii]

there should be a way to add whole monsters and ditch the idea of arms and legs. It would make adding monsters much easier.

[DragonByte Tech]

The arms and legs are a part of our future plans to add stat boosts for different body parts
