Taking a long shot at this one... but I guess it worth a try. :3

Caterpillar Cave Site (http://caterpillarcave.com/)

Caterpillar Cave is in Alpha phase, but is open to sign-ups! Updates should be frequent at this point and will be posted in the thread.

As the site's name suggests, Caterpillar Cave is a click-to-raise adoptable site centered around caterpillars, mercaterpillars, and soon to come, fairy/winged caterpillars (which look more like conjoined fuzz balls)! You can find adoptables by purchasing them from shops in the world map, from the pound, from the adoption center (none at the moment), or by submitting a custom request. So far, all adoptables reach full maturity at level 6. Right now, only breeding caterpillars will produce new hybrids.

And if you're having trouble gaining clicks, there's always some food in the food shoppe!
(everything's being redrawn at the moment)

Also, there's finally a forum - it's not the "script" one that was planned to be used, but it works!
http://caterpillarcave.freeforums.net/

Backstory (Apparently, it needs some work.):
In the realm of the imaginary, there lies the tiny speck of a planet named Drameria. It is on this planet that a island chain named Hakeoro floats (the name comes from the name of the flower the islands grew from - long story). Long ago (Dramerian time), butterflies and moths mysteriously made their appearance on the island Keppi. Not too long later, a strange, uneplained occurrence thwarted the butterflies and moths' development cycles, disallowing them to mature past the "caterpillar" stage. As certain parts of time can run faster than others in Drameria's realm, the caterpillars, through generations, quickly developed larger sizes, fewer and shorter legs, the ability to reproduce as caterpillars, and fuzzier coats to cope with the foreign enviroment. The result: a creature that resembled a fuzz ball formation with antennae which would eventually become a highly intelligent species that would dominate Hakeoro - the Hakeorean Caterpillar.

Just finished the images for the first breeding pair. Soon to be released! Yup, they're kind of boring. http://caterpillarcave.x10.mx/picuploads/png/13725c45bcdb29ca1ce59d398a8f0f8e.pnghttp://caterpillarcave.x10.mx/picuploads/png/c0dcfc2b4d356709f84902384d14e285.png

No their cute. ^_^ I'm guessing thats what you were going for. :P I've signed up! Though you might want to put a link on here somewhere to the pet site...

Hwona

O.o thanks for telling me! *feels stupid* XP

Also, the breeding caterpillars are probably going to be a bit plain, but their ofspring should be more detailed.

Anyhow, enjoy your stay at the cave! :3

Lol its okay. ^_^ Also if you're hosting on x10 watch out, they werent good for me and shut me down randomly without warning one day. O.o' They wouldnt even tell me why... So make sure you keep backups. :P

Yay I have two cute caterpillars!

Ok, thanks for the heads up - and yeah, you can kind of figure that out. When you first create your site on the server, you can connect and do everything normally, but after that, nothing works! :L Unfortunately, transfering to a different host means redoing all the links in the search system, and I don't know how to save backups or transfer. D:

Edit: never mind - I just saved my files as a zip. :3 Do you know any other hosts that work?

Ruinily
07-16-2013, 09:44 PM
Lol thats the million dollar question around here, which host. ^_^' Theres probably a bunch of threads if you want to look through them, I'm using host-ed, which is kind of good yet annoying at the same time. XD Though it works nicely for other people. At this pont I'd say its just luck. -.-'

Cool, underwater. o.o

Ok, Caterpillar Cave is currently in the middle of a huge breeding overhaul. Many caterpillars are being renamed and breeding combinations have been rethought. During updating, I might have missed a few owned adoptables so some pets will popup as a message saying: this adoptable type does not exist (something similar). If you are having any such pet issues, please post in the thread or PM me! :3

Also, the caterpillar obtaining system might be completely different after the update - probably more breeding centered rather than search centered.

Wow, it's been a really long time since this thread has been updated. There was a bit of a theme error which caused the site to break and I apologize for the inconvinience! Anyhow, the first mercaterpillar has been introduced, the theme has been changed, some of the old art has been updated, and the "islands" now have a different style. The custom system has also been updated. Enjoy! :D

Oh yay! Someone else still cares about the site. :D I'm really sorry about the breakdown, but at least there's some stuff that got done during the down time. Hope that makes up for the total disappointment.

Sorry for the inactivity- I've been a bit busy with a few caterpillar projects. There's been a rather large update to be posted: Caterpillar Cave has moved to caterpillarcave.com! All current user progress has been transferred to the new site. :3

Lol I know that problem, when theres a whole bunch of things you want to finish. ^_^ Grats on the new domain! Um, I kind of cant click the drop down menus though lol, they disappear before I can click on them. >.>'

Hwona
04-28-2014, 08:54 PM
Thank you! O.o Oh dear, drop down menu... I'll try to create a new theme... if I can figure everything out!

Umm the dropdown menu? You can always edit the css for dropdown menu in menu.css file, its located in the /css folder. If you are trying to work on a quite different design of theme, you may have to edit the class file for dropdown menu.

Thank you! I'm actually quite content with the theme, but it's a little hard to click the drop-down links since you have to roll your mouse down from the banner or else they'll disappear. XP

Thanks to a lot of help from another user, you can now view an adoptable's stats when you click them!

I finally found the time to fix up the theme! It doesn't seem to work on mobile devices, but at least the dropdown menu works now!

Hope everyone enjoys!

Aww, thank you! I haven't done much coding since I'm pretty terrible at PHP, but I've finally got a working skills system up! You can now buy items to increase these stats and the higher an adoptable's stats, the more rosettes they win! :D

Hwona

Yay! Pets now get random personalities upon creation! Please post if you have any suggestions! :D

Yet another update:
I recently added a biography and background system to the site! You can choose different backgrounds from shops and the biography button is on an adoptable's manage page. You can see all the details on the stat and view pages!
Priview levelup display: Pet Link (http://caterpillarcave.com/levelup/click/1)
The winged caterpillars have been released!
The FAQ section has also been updated and orange mercaterpillars now actually evolve... :3
New berries and training items added too!
Backgrounds so far:

o.o Cool... Though, I'm having a little trouble finding stuff, like the FAQ and backgrounds, maybe I zoomed through things too fast? ^_^' Also theres a couple of adopts called test, and the Class ArrayList in the daycare centre seems to be messing up lol. Just thought you might like to know. ^_^' Ooo fish caterpillars...

Ruinily
07-13-2014, 11:38 PM
Hm... Now I cant seem to log into the .com site, and its not sending a password reset email. XD Its probably me messing up, maybe I'll try again tomorrow...

Hwona
07-13-2014, 11:48 PM
^Just to make sure:
Did you add any spaces behind your username?
Did you log in from the click page?

Ruinily
07-14-2014, 01:52 PM
Lol my browser autofills my name since I use Ruinily everywhere. :P Um, I've tried logging in on the front page of the .com site, but its weird, it doesnt accept the right password... I tried it on .mx exactly the same, and it logs in. O.o' Websites just dont like me lol...

Hwona
07-14-2014, 02:03 PM
^Here, let me try and help you out... I'll change your password and send it to you!

Ruinily
07-15-2014, 01:22 PM
Um, did it send to Lunasif@msn.com? o.o And thanks for trying to help! I wish I had more luck with sites. ^_^'

Hwona
07-15-2014, 01:48 PM
Oh, I don't think I sent it out... oh, by the way, check your spam and see if the password resend is there...
This is the email in the database:

I've finally finished the grouping system! It's kind of impractical to move pets, but it works!
As soon as I finish styling the myadopts pet cells and adding some written content to the site, I'll start advertising and beta testing! :D

Hello everyone! THis may just be the last time I update this thread - I've finished making a self-updating record of all site pets and will release the site officially as soon as I get species descriptions written for all the pets. Thanks everyone! Also, sorry for the slight delay - I'm the the process of moving and am scrambling to the the coded aspects of the site up and running before school reopens for me. :3
