Ember's Pet Hack

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.

This would be really great combined with this TomBot AI hack by C.Birch Just imagine being able to talk to your pet and have it respond or teach it things and have it remember...a true virtual friend. If only I knew how to do it. :cross-eyed: Maybe one of the experts in here can help us??? PLEASE? lol

Hi there,

I am designing a rather large set of high res pets and some animated ones and i have a question.

Is there a hack or is it possible to have the pull down menu for pets - have the avatar style action where you can view your pets before you save the settings.

That would be great

Ooo I love that idea Midnightz

One of my mods had another idea too,

Maybe a way to have a few pets be admin/mod only?

Thanks Cyricx

I was think about that today or they would need a certain amount of post to upgrade to a pet. I have created a whole bunch of really cool pets about 40 of them. I find it hard to create some of the pets with the gender button.

I know this would be a big hack (well for me) I would like to have it where you can have some pets without the gender selector. For now I'm doing two of the same.

if this ever gets integrated into the RPG battle that bitsys made, instead of it being called pets it can be called summons. you can summon them to attack and stuff

This is an excellent hack!

My users are loving it!

I'm trying to make the end-image in flash, so you choose a gif image in the display but the output in your postbit is a flash image with a three day timer. After chosing a pet, the flash is displayed and the timer counts down to zero and if it is zero the pet dies and turns upside down, legs in the air. When a pet-user in those 3 days click on a small button 'feed pet' the timer is reset and is counting again on it's starttime.

Now, so far this is theorie but i can do it if i have a good timerscript. I let you know.

I've made flashpets for this mod. It's tested in a different table so maybe you have to adjust some td widths etc. You can feed your pet 3 different kinds of food.
Unzip and extract the swf files in the image/pets dir.
The only change in the readme is the replacement of the image with flashcode.

Has anyone been succesfull in allowing people to upload custom pets like they upload custom avatars?

I'm working on it, but it is turning out to be more difficult than I originally tought.
