Ember's Pet Hack · **Released**: 01-24-2003

This is currently version 2.0 of the Pet Hack.

The pet hack enabled each user to have their own pet, which is displayed in the postbit under the postcount (screen shot below).

The user can define their own Pet Name, as well as select the breed of pet from a drop down wether the pet is male or female.

Version 2 adds 2 major new features.

Number one is the images, each breed of pet has a male and female image which is displayed depending on what the user has selected.

The second is the stats, each pet has its own level, HP and EXP. This was taken directly from knomans levels hack, and edited slightly (more credits are given in the install file).

The images of the pets were created by danwei - she has been working very hard on them this afternoon, and without her this wouldnt have happened!!

Inside the zip you will find install instructions, the images needed and s txt file containing some information about what might be appearing in future versions.

I hope you enjoy v2 of the hack, and I will be accepted all comments and suggestions!

If you install this hack live, then please post the link here so I can link to some live examples. Remember to click the "install" button.

was the whole evolution thing because of what I said in the last thread? I like it either way. A Battle system would be so kool. because I would probly use it in my RPG.

Yup, thats where the idea came from

Thanks! The images are well in development now, so as soon as I have had my last exam tomorrow I will give the next stage a bit of thought!

yay I contributed in a small way

Well I will install this for sure once a new version is out with more options.

My Kids LOVE this!!! My eight year old can't wait for the Tamagotchi style system! This is such a great idea. Thanks!

SRozhon · #36 01-29-2003, 02:25 PM

They would also love it if they could get more than one pet later?? I wish I knew enough code to help this is so neat!

Glad you like it SRozhon, hmmm.... more than one pet... I have a rough idea how about this:

There is a page where you can view all of a users pets, and then the user can select which pet they want to appear in the postbit.

That could work I suppose!

I'd have to think about how to do it though!

SRozhon · #38 01-29-2003, 05:10 PM

I don't know much code but am willing to help with anything I can to get this as great as neopets...My kids love the idea too! It could be lots of fun for everyone! Just let me know if I can help. I love the idea

Unless you know some good flash developers who would be willing to help out get the real show on the road, then there aint much that can be done really... I think my half term will be containing a lot of late nights!

the flash idea is kool but lets not take so much space up for one hack. It will be a great hack and will install as soon as v3 comes out. But IMO using flash wont make this hack that much better.

Ember · #41 01-30-2003, 06:42 AM

I am thinking into the future here, v3 is well in development now - got a few problems to work out, but after that... there's a lot that can be done!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
