Official Mys v1.4.0 Ideas & Suggestions Thread

Because I don't see it here, I want to ask if, besides multiple alternates, will there/would there/could there be the option for gender dimorphic images? Not that alt 1 is male and alt 2 is female, but that there's alt 1 with a female image and male image, like in DC, ToD, etc...?

Well I do have plans for gender-based alternate forms/images. With the way I've coded so far, you can choose what conditions the very alternate form will apply. Gender is one such option, we use binary field with 0 = female, 1 = male, if you leave it blank(Null value) it will apply for both genders.

Wondering, since it wasn't an option in the current one, would there be an "evolving" description or a mod for this? Just its getting updated as the creature levels.

[Hall of Famer]

umm what do you mean by evolving description? Something like adoptables description changing with level?

[FRivArt]

Yes, exactly.

This has probably been suggested but I'm going to go ahead anyway.

It would be awesome if adoptables could have personalities. Basically when an adoptable is created in the system, a personality for it would be picked randomly from a personalities list. The admins would make this list themselves.

This would probably only work if the adoptables have public stats pages though... otherwise it'd be kind of pointless. The personality would be displayed on the adoptable's stats page or box.

As an example this could be a list an admin would make on their site:
" Calm
Cheerful
Lazy
Arrogant
Stubborn
Generous
Shy
Aggressive"

and then when an adoptable is created, one of the above would be picked randomly as its personality.

I think this would make users trade and sell their adopts more so that they could get adoptables with their preferred personality. It could also make quests more challenging for sites that have quests, so instead of just "Bring me adoptable Y." it'd be "Bring me a female adoptable Y with a Cheerful personality."

Actually, you might be able do this right now by modifying the messages on the levelup page. What I tried was edit the "you already leveled up this adoptable" to contain adoptable data and then put a link to the same page in the "click" message. And I do agree that personalities would be GREAT! :D
Also, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but would it be possible to create a simple "competition" system? Like, maybe there could be "rounds" that run once a set number of adoptables are entered? Then the system could compare the pets' stats and the one with the best stats wins and earns a reward? Maybe if competitions aren't possible then an achievement system? Maybe once an adoptable reaches a certain stat requirement they can earn a medal or something? :3

I did this system for Infernette's Forest of Mirrors, it's kind of boring and very rarely used I think. Rounds take long to start, since they need to be full before calculating a winner.

Each competition asks for a certain adoptable (Infernette has implemented stats and moods and season/time of day an adoptable was born in) and has a limited number of entries. When it's filled, it calculate the top 3 adoptables with the best stats and distributes rewards (money)

If there's enough interest I can try to ask her if I can make the code public and translate it to 1.3.4, since I plan on doing many mods once my vacations start

Wow, that must be pretty awesome! I'm actually still using v.1.3.3 and have been trying to get an alternative system up since probably as one of the worst coders here, I can't do anything like competitions. XP

Well this is not really planned at this moment, the description for adoptables will stay static for each species.
