vB3 Pets v1.0
by AutomatikStudio and others

+What This Hack Does+
This hack gives your users the option to have their very own furry little pets. Posting on your boards is what keeps them alive!

+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.

I do see the Pet info to fill out, i enter some info, and then press Save. Then i posted a test post to see if I see the pet graphic...but my post is just as if I didn't install the pet hack. SO I don't see the pet graphic or other info that is supposed to be in the post...I think it should show in the post, by my username or something..i don't see it there

Hmm...okay...can you e-mail me a copy of the following: 1)modifyprofile template 2)postbit template

E-mail those to josh[at]automatikstudios[dot]com

Alrighty, I'm tweaked simply because I really like the planned additions.

I am willing to jump onboard and help out in some of the coding of certain features if you wish it. I'm not very active here (kinda just lurk about and snag what I need when I see it), but I am willing to lend a hand where I can.

The possibilities of this hack are beautifully complex! I love it!

I am installing it on my board(s) tonight and will run through the code thus far and see where I can lend a hand.

If you wish to talk with me live (if you are willing to allow me to lend a hand) then contact me either at: noblepagan@noblepagan.com or via MSN at bubbabriggs@msn.com.

It should also be noted that you should modify the postbit_legacy template instead of the postbit template if you have selected to use the old style postbit.

The puppy images need a little work, will look around to see if I can find some

HP is raised by users posting. The default is set to where if users don't make 5 posts a day then it begins to drop. If they make 5 a day then it stays the same...if they make more than 5 then it rises.

EXP is how close the user is to leveling up.

Levels are....I have no idea:nervous:

Hahah...defenitely agree :ninja:

[AutomatikStudio]

We want your suggestions! We've begun coding v2.0 of this hack and have HUGE plans! (think Pet Shop).....anywho...we wanna know what features you want! So start posting!

[TheComputerGuy]

How about HP so their HP will go up after one of these "stones".

I would love to see the pet be able to get sick, and get better. How about a playground or a play pen for them to stay at or something.

What do you mean "stones"....
