Anyone Want to Have a Stat System

[Hwona]

Hello everyone! I know that this is a planned feature for v.1.4.0, but I recently made a stat system for my site(v1.3.3) and I was curious if anyone would be interested in such a system.
I'd like to share this with everyone who might not be moving to v1.4.0 for some reason, but because all editing has to be done through files, it may be a bit tedious to explain, so I was wondering if anyone would actually want this kind of thing?

Features:
- random generated number within 2 set values
- items that raise stats
- award images that change when an adoptable's stats reach a certain value

Note: As of now, my coding skills are far too poor to add anything else to the mix.

You can see an example on my site: http://caterpillarcave.com/levelup/click/1
Please vote in the poll! Thanks! :D

Yes, I'd be interested in this. ovo~ I really like the idea of badges, too! There are things I'd definitely like stats for, and not from a battle standpoint.

So long as I can give my pets stats, then I can also implement ways to deplete these stats for all pets over time (with a chron job), if I tinker enough -- for hunger, for example. My wish is to have a 'happiness' meter that functions about the same as hunger would, that encourages people to play with their pets, not just visit them. (And there would be benefits to keeping all your entire collection of pets above a certain happiness level overall.) All that would require a lot of further tinkering on my part, but I would love the step in the right direction!

^It would be great if you could do that! I don't exactly like sites with pets that die, but it'd be cool if happiness could have special functions. I alson want to think about working with the layout of how adoptable information is displayed on the page. As you can see with mine, it's a bit err... messy?

Actually I think its a neat idea. Mys v1.4.x's stats system is meant to be customizable, admins without coding experience can do what they want in ACP rather than editing raw php files. But a custom or simplified stats system wont hurt, especially when the official stats system is still in the making. ^^

Oh! Really?! In that case, I'll post this. :3 Perhaps it can be of some use? I can make re-colorable badge images too. I know the coding really sucks and is probably REALLY inefficient since so many database columns need to be created(at least for my site) but I'll give it a shot!

Anyone have any award-type preference? Medals? Ribbons? Trophies? :3

Oh my god! I LOVE your adoptable page layout!!! It's so pretty! Your ribbons and stats system is also really cool. :)

I prefer ribbons, actually. Trophies and medals are too...special? I guess. Thank you for whatever you do, though!

^Okay everyone, I've decided to go ahead and share the basic parts of the code! I won't be as complex as the one I have and I'm only going to be including one stat/skill in the guide. I can definitely build upon it at a later time, but I think I should keep it simple first so that I don't kill myself and other users! XP

However, I do have a tiny problem... I don't know how to generate unique stats for adoptables that existed prior to the addition of the modification. I don't want the initially generated stats on my site to be a huge factor in how easy it is to train an adopt, so I just decided that it'd be perfectly logical to set all old adoptables' stats to 50/100, but what do you guys think?

Your layout is just utterly PERFECT!! I would love to have the code to add to do this :)

I use the Responsive Theme, if that makes any difference. Wow, though, really beautiful and nice looking!!

[Hwona]

^I can definitely include that! If responsice themes work with normal css, I'm pretty sure the same thing would work... :3

Wonderful!! Thank you!!


I have a massive family of sites launching in a few days, this is desperately needed and timely!! :)
