[Official] Suggestion/Feature Request List

[AlexC]

This thread is a redo of the former thread of v1.3.x suggestions, and now we've got a new one, for all the requests and features from across the forum, complete with pending release dates and legend keys for easy browsing. I decided to refresh the thread, with the aim of looking at all the features over all versions, instead of just v1.3.x like the previous thread. So you can request anything you want! As long as its reasonable.

This thread is a list of all features, you can reply here or make your own thread to suggest new features. If you plan to make any of these into mods or plugins, please tell me so I can link to it/take it off the list! If you know of something that will be added to an upcoming version, you can tell me and I'll list it as confirmed. Features that are not recommended for the main script, will be marked to be made into mods, meaning they probably won't be added to the script at all, but will be kept on the list, just in case. If you really, really like a suggestion, tell me so I can make it as often requested, and maybe they'll get a higher chance of being added.

NOTE: I have removed the planned/mod symbols for most suggestions, since the development of the script has changed a lot since I posted the original thread. If you know something is going to be implanted, or will have to be made into a mod, please confirm this again.

LEGEND KEY

How about the option to make multiple Pet/Adopt Shops. Then the admin, when creating a new pet, can simply choose, from a drop-down list of all the currently existing pet shops, which pet shop the pet will be sold in :) This shouldn't be hard, I don't think, since HOF, I believe, did the same thing for the items :)

[AlexC]

It was already on the list, but I made it a little more clear. :3

Changed the list slightly - can't believe I missed the pagination thing, man, some days I just blank. xD

Concerning the things you weren't sure about;

- Random Adoptable Click Page: People were wondering about a nursery or click site style page - 20ish adoptables that you can click on, and then refresh for a set of adoptables that you didn't click. I guess it's kinda already on there, just on a smaller scale.

- Previous Owner: I dunno who created it, they may not convert it over or even be on mysidia anymore.

- Pet Shows: Some person awhile ago created a mod (and I think someone suggested it too) for a "pet show" - kinda like a beauty contest or popularity contest or something. Not sure how to do it though.

- Arcade with Money Giving: A few people requested arcades with games that gave out money or items when you submitted your score.

- Time/Seasons/Clock: I'm not too sure either, but I think it could tie into a few things - like a breeding season, or adoptables only purchasable in a certain time frame.

I see, thanks for elaborating Gloometh. And yeah the pagination class is available in Mys v1.3.0, though it uses a custom css that messes up the font style/size of the theme's. I've talked about this with Nyxi and hopefully she will find a way to fix the problem. As you see, I aint that good with css. XD

Oh so like a daycare system? Sounds interesting, it still seems quite similar to what the current stats.php already does but I will give a look.

Well yeah you are right, I kinda forgot when a previous owner mod was actually available. And the one who did the pet shows script was Gigi, she made it for Mys v1.1.x. If you look at the Mys v1.1.x Mod forum, you will see that a few of the ideas you proposed were available as old Mods. The problem is that we never bothered to convert them into Mys v1.2.x-compatible version. With Megaupload gone for good, it may not be possible to make simple edits nowadays. But anyway, creating them from scratch should not be quite difficult.

Also are you suggesting Arcade integration such as many sites/forums have done? Thats seems intriguing, but can be quite difficult especially with ACP integration. Time-based options are definitely possible, I will consider during the lifetime of Mys v1.3.x.


Btw there is one thing Id like to bring up though. The customizability of a script determines how easy and how soon it can be implemented. I made a simple stats mod a while ago, back when it was still Rusnak Adoptables. The difficulty comes with how to customize it. A hard-coded stats system is essentially worthless, a pokemon stats system is only for pokemon and nothing else. How to make a public stats system for people who prefer various growth mechanism and formula to use remains as a challenge. I've found a solution now, so expect the stats system to come no later than Mys v1.4.0.

Daycare is an interesting concept. I think what people were looking for was something more like this: http://www.coup-detat.info/NDER/

I got a bunch of the ideas from the 1.1 forum - I put them here for suggestions for people to remake.

That's what people seem interested in. I've run one or two with integrated games in it, and people seem to enjoy it. Gives them a little something to pass the time, or earn some extra cash.

I understand that with coding. Even coding something small can take ages if it won't work.

[Kesstryl]

This is something I'd like to see which should only be a minimal change, adding a chance number to an alternate image line so as to make one more rare than the other. For example, when I do a unicorn line, I'd like to have the chance of having an alternate image of a pegacorn (or unipeg) there but with the chance so it happens rarely (maybe 10%). Also with breeding, the chance of a unicorn and a pegacorn producing a pegacorn would be a rare chance.

[AlexC]

As far as I know, the first request is already there. When you first make the adoptable, you have the option of turning on alternate images, and then you can say that it has a change of 1 in "x" - with x being replayed with whatever you want it to be. Putting 100 in there would make it rare. Putting 10 would give you a 10%.

As for breeding, I'll add that to the list - people have been asking for that for a while.

It be coll if when you click a certain link it gives the person x ammount of money, this way you could make easy non- flash games, and of corse there'd have to be the waiting timt (wait x ammount of time to go to that page again) so people can't cheat
