Alternate Images for Genders

Instead of the alternates being set by a random factor, being set by the gender of the pet.

I'm new so please don't kick me for something that already exists.

I am sorry that I havent gotten back to you regarding your request yet. And yes, this is definitely doable. You will need to manually edit the line that generates alternative forms of adoptables. I can show you an example of how to do that later if I have time.

That would be awesome thanks :)

Here is a possible way to have alternates set by gender:

Find these lines in doadopt.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
                        $alts = getaltstatus($id, 0, 0);

                        // We need a unique code for the adoptable so we can show it to the user when we're done here...

                        $code = rand(1, 20000);
                        $genders = array('f', 'm');
                        $rand = rand(0,1);
                        
                        runquery("INSERT INTO {$prefix}owned_adoptables VALUES ('', '{$row['type']}', '$name','$loggedinname','0','0', '$code', '','$alts','fortrade','no', '$genders[$rand]','0')");

                        // Adoption complete, show the user a confirmation screen...

Replace with something like this(the code may be different depending on the structure of your table prefix_owned_adoptables):

PHP Code:


		
			
                        // We need a unique code for the adoptable so we can show it to the user when we're done here...

                        $code = rand(1, 20000);
                        $genders = array('f', 'm');
                        $rand = rand(0,1);
                        $petgender = $genders[$rand];
                        switch($petgender){
                          case "m": 
                          $alts = "yes";
                          break;
                          default: 
                          $alts = "no";
                        }                        

                        runquery("INSERT INTO {$prefix}owned_adoptables  VALUES ('', '{$row['type']}', '$name','$loggedinname','0','0', '$code',  '','$alts','fortrade','no', '$petgender','0')");

                        // Adoption complete, show the user a confirmation screen...

This will set female sprite to be primary and male sprite to be alternate. Lemme know if this code wont work for you, and take a screenshot of your prefix_owned_adoptables so I can assist you further.

So if it's male it will show the male image and female vice versa?

Yes, it should. It will generate a pet gender first and then decide which image to use based on whether its male or female. In my script above the female image is primary, while male image is alternate.

ooo very nice! I'm going to try this out today!

do i delete

Code:

$alts = getaltstatus($id, 0, 0);

I'm guessing no b/c it worked =) Cool! I switched it to "f" instead of "m" though so my male image will be primary. Very cool!

Well its better to delete that line since it wont do anything after you've changed the method alternate form of adoptables is defined.

Oh ok I'll delete it then! I'm loving this so much I'm going back and making male and female images of all of the adopts. Sucks though that the ones already adopted won't have that feature implemented with them though.
