The Official Mys v1.2.0 Thread[Beta available in Premium Members Forum now!]
 

Well now that this is finalized, I am going to announce the new features that will be available for Mys v1.2.0 release. The breeding system is already completed, and we are working on the other aspects of this script for now. We do not have a scheduled release date atm, but once we figure this out I will let you know.

New Features in Mys v1.2.0:
-- Breeding and time limit for breeding by Arianna: Completed
-- Style switcher by Arianna: Completed
-- Avatar system by Annatar: Completed
-- Profile Enhancement by PokemontrainerGigi: Completed
-- PM system with Outbox, Draft and BBcodes by Hall of Famer: Completed
-- Create/Edit/Delete user's individual pets through ACP by Hall of Famer: Completed
-- Enhanced PM system by Bloodrun: Completed
-- Who's online script by Fadillzzz: Completed
-- Adoptables search by Kaeliah: Completed
-- PNG support by Kaeliah: Completed
-- New theme Elements by Enddayne: Completed

Improvement of Existing old Features from Mys v1.1.x:
-- Improved Stats system(fix the 5 random adoptables glitch) by Arianna: Completed
-- Improved Cash system by Arianna: Completed
-- Improved Abandon system by Kaeliah: Completed
-- Improved Trade system by Kaeliah: Completed
-- Improved Installer script by Hall of Famer: completed

Also changes made in Mys v1.1.2 to v1.1.4 by Hall of Famer(such as adoptables pricing) will be carried over to Mys v1.2.0 too. We are not sure at this moment whether an upgrader will work for users with Mys v1.1.x sites, but I try to make it possible.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please post in this thread and I will try to answer asap.


Edit: Mysidia Adoptables v1.2.0 beta is now available to download in premium members forum. If you are a premium member, you are more than welcome to download the script and install it on your site to test features we've added. Thanks for your support, everyone.


Hall of Famer

Ooh.... I so likey :3

QUESTION: How would the breeding work? So e.g.
Female Squirrel was red, male Squirrel was grey... what would the offspring look like? Would it be one or the other (a random pick between red and grey) or blended? o.O

SUGGESTION: Enhanced Usergroup System?
So someone could be in more than one usergroup? XD Oh and... coloured username that is visible on the shoutbox, profile page, PMs etc. xD

OMG -- Breeding and time limit for breeding by Arianna

♥
Happy valentine btw =)

I believe it randomly follows the father or the mother's trait, blending is not possible for a public release since it is way too customized. Anna did make one and I am sure it is available in premium members forum.

umm I will consider your suggestion Chibi, but keep in mind that the features list for Mys v1.2.0 has been finalized so it may not be added anytime soon. We can, however, make it available in future Mys v1.2.x series, unless its a huge feature that must be implemented in Mys v1.3.0.

Oh yus :3 Thank you :3
Another suggestion (for future released of course):
Maybe something like a blog? Kinda similar to the shoutbox but you are able to comment on entries? XD

I thought Bloodrun hinted forums would be added?

@ ChibiKawaii: umm this sounds like an interesting idea, I may consider in future releases. For now we will at least need an improved text editor, like the one we are using on vbulletin forums.

@ Roconza: I am sorry, the forums will not be added in any future official releases. A problem is that some users actually have forums with vbulletin, mybb or other forum softwares installed on their server.

MY NAME IS THERE *feels accomplished*

I can make a quick little add-on to that so users can only select their own pets if you want :3 I was planning on adding it but never got around to it D:

Those all sound cool 8D

Well sure Gigi, you can do a modification and post in the corresponding subforum.

Also I dont quite know if old modifications will be compatible with Mys v1.2.0. I can definitely make new version of my evolution, stats and gender ratio system compatible with Mys v1.2.0, not sure for other mods and addons.

Sounds great, can't wait for the release :)

True but wasn't the PM upgrade made to work with Blood's forum script.

Ooh version 2 sounds awsome :)

Well this is Mys v1.2.0 Lunaria, not v2.0. XD

Just added the avatar, and additional profile fields to dev kit. The next thing to do is enhanced PM, create/edit/delete users individual pets and adoptables search.

These new features sound awesome! I can not wait to has them, Thanks! X3

@ KC: Thank you so much for saying this. I hope everyone will like it. ^^

@ Roconza: Yes, his original enhanced PM system was indeed integrated to his forum script. In Mys v1.2.0 however, I will modify his script considerably so that it will work with or without a forum script.

Also I have finished adding an outbox system, which will be a part of Mys v1.2.0 too. I will be doing a draft system, add BBcodes to the text box, and make it possible for users to create user-defined folders to store different categories of PMs next. I am not sure whether all of these PM features will be included in Mys v1.2.0 atm though. Take a look at the three screenshots below to get a feel of how the new PM engine looks like:

It looks to be great!!!

This is going to be a winner from what I can see!! Every new feature added just makes it all that much more fun to use :)

@HoF- I made the change so the user can only select their pets from a drop-down list :colonu: If you want to include that for the profile add-on you can just go here: http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/for...newpost&t=1716

It's just a small change, nothing big :usedusedused:

@ Anna: Thanks a lot. I hope to add as many features as possible in future releases.

@ Gigi: I've looked into your codes, they are all good. I will replace the current profile enhancement system with your updated version in a few hours.

Alright, the PM system overhaul has been completed, at least for the release of Mys v1.2.0. What have been added are Outbox, Draft and BBcodes integration features. I will illustrate this point with a few screenshots:

*whistles* Shiny...

</firefly reference>

I have a sneak peek to show off as well...
http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/for...1&d=1298055375

Hoffie, it says 'Report this member' on 2 images... does that mean the 'report' feature will be in the release... or is it not?

And... because you're still working on the messages/PMs section, could you add a feature to disable/enable BBCode via ACP? If you're busy, this can be a suggestion for future releases xD

Woah, looks pretty awesome! And -le gasp- we have the same favoirte color! :smile:

@ Nyxi: I will add your theme next. Thank you so much, it will be used as our default style starting from now.

@ Chibi: A report system is indeed planned, the admin(user id = 1) will be notified whenever a user reports a message. Not sure if it will be available in Mys v1.2.0 though, we will see if we have time for that.

@ Cerelia: Thank you so much for your comment.


Update:
The create/edit/delete users individual pet system(made by Hall of Famer) has been added to Mys v1.2.0. Also I've modified Gigi's profile enhancement system a little bit since a new version of this mod is released yesterday. The next thing to do is Nyxi's new theme. ^^

Cool updates for Version 1.2. :D Most I've already heard were going to be added from blogs, topics, and conversations.

When a report system is added will the report also go to any other admins/mods on the site?

Thanks for saying this Chris. Its not really a big secret of what we add to Mys v1.2.0 though, but we may be planning for some surprises in future.

umm this will require a usergroup system overhaul. For now I am trying to figure out how to add multiple usergroups for each user. This will require arrays in each cell of mysql column 'usergroup', which I have yet to figure out the trick behind it. Looks like we do not have any arrays sent to a single sql cell in our existing database tables/columns.

Anyway, I've added Enddayne's theme to Mys v1.2.0, this one will be used as our default theme from now on. The new Mys v1.2.0 will have two pre-installed themes, so you can have a good experience of Arianna's style switcher system.
http://oi53.tinypic.com/2ijpvlv.jpg

Array in each cell of MySQL? You mean something like enum datatype ?

Well to illustrate my point, lets take a look at a column in Vbulletin's database(this one from my pokemon forum):

http://oi51.tinypic.com/ionudw.jpg


Here the column 'buddylist' contains an array of userids in each member's buddylist, I have no idea how this can be done. I've been using PHP's arrays before, but not with sql integration.

AFAIK, those numbers will be separated by the php script (using space as the separator) and then putted into an array (using the explode function I think...)

Sorry to cut into the convo there but...

'Arianna's style switcher system.'
What do you mean by that Hoffie? o.O *is curious*

I think it basically means, to give an option to the user to choose which layout theme they wanted to use.

To the site admin or to the viewer?

Like http://www.mysticgrove.net/ (top right pictures change background image)

The style switcher is available for both the admins and users on your adoptables site, it works pretty much in the same way as you see on forums.

I would imagine the viewer? At least that's what I thought ...

Well Anna you can download the alpha version of Mysidia Adoptables from the staff forum already. Take a look at it and get a feel of what it does.

I think you should set up a demo site like Brandon did.

The dev demo site is here, note trade system has yet to be integrated in the alpha version of Mysidia Adoptables. It can only be downloaded by Dev staff for development purposes:
http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/mys120a/index.php

I just wanted to see a demo of it. The adopt page looks a lot better. Any way to demo the admin features?

umm this I dont quite know. Once we have a stable release I will set up an official demo site in which every newly registered users are made admins so they can easily test out all the features. The demo site is taken down and rebuild every 24 hours.

I see now is this using the new breeding system?

Yes, the dev demo site is using the new breeding system, which allows admins to set a minimum level for breeding and time interval between two consecutive breedings attempts.

How many babies are created just one? Can it be set to give a random number of babies like MWC?
