Viewable Pet Pages

[AlexC]

I was wondering; at the moment, if you go to click on another user's pet, you get the "you clicked x" page, and when you visit the page again, you don't see the pet at all, you get the "you already clicked x" message.

What if we changed it, so you could see the pet all the time? Maybe have some stats - for example, name, gender, etc. This'll give the pets a more personal feel, and might even increase user interaction - say the page has a link to the owner, so they can be contacted for possible trading, or buying an offspring of that pet? So instead of the basic page we've got now, you would see the pet's profile, with the message you just clicked this pet and gained x credits, or the you have already clicked this pet today message.

This could also lead to mods, or new features, such as having custom descriptions, viewing legacy or family trees, offspring lists or things like that. It would also encourage a bit more user interaction with their own pets, if they knew there was pages for people to admire a hard catch or a particularly good achieved or nice looking pet, especially if you could customize them a bit little with messages or items.

It always irks me that you can't view anything about the pet when you click on them - its not nearly as much fun as seeing stuff about them - dates and names and stuff.

The code is more or less there - on the stats page. We'd just need to move it to the level up page. I know I can do this myself, but I really think it should be a script feature, not a mod.

Pages like this: http://www.unicreatures.com/view.php?id=9930123

I also like the individual dragon pages for Flight Rising (http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=l...48&did=1281416) and I did have plans to make a page like this: http://25.media.tumblr.com/17b6076ae...9qvo1_1280.png

Yeah, like that or Dragon Cave.

The Flight Rising pages are amazing - that would be the ultimate page design, it would be cool to assign item pets to our pets, or give them items or even achievements or something.

The FR pages and such are what I'm aiming for with Purrfected Grimalkin, but until I get over my art/writing/life block it aint gonna happen...

I'll have a good deal of time coming up to work on stuff, just, I've been distracted with recent health developments...

Hoffie, think we can get these page styles to work?

[AlexC]

Yeah, if this isn't implanted, I'll probably end up doing it for RO. I haven't had the greatest amount of time to work on these either because of health concerns either - really eats into your time sometimes.

O.o I would LOVE for such pet pages! Even if it's only possible to view the pet again, that's good enough.

my suggestion would be to run this past Hall of Famer to add to next version, but in the mean time you could create this as an addon for the current version.

So you want something like an adoptable profile similar to the user profile?

[Tequila]

I think that would work. We'd just have to figure out how to style the page and such. I can come up with some mockups after lunch... Although the one I did before was nice...

[AlexC]

Yeah, think something similar perhaps to http://dragcave.net/view/r1Ttw

You'd have the adopt image, the info, etc. If we add lineage, descriptions and anything else, that would be there as well. So regardless of whether or not you've clicked it, you would still see the info and the adopt.
