Petz Central Thread

[Dyne]

It's up! Finally.

http://www.gametavern.net/forums/petz.php?do=info

Please read that page for ALL info pertaining to Petz.

Ok guys, this hack is my CHILD. I had to create most of the options for it, and I'm able to change them at any time. I create the stores and the items. I can give money to you if I want, or I can take money from you. ;)

Basically, with your help, I can improve it. I will add new items every week to Dyne's Pad, and I could add extra stores down the line to help.

Things like Points per post, Points per thread, max items held, all that stuff is under my power, so if anything seems out of weight, tell me and I'll consider it. And there's benefits for helping, too. :)

There was some things we couldn't add in unfortunately. Originally you could edit the appearance of your username in the forums (i.e. flipping, blurring, shadowing) but due to bad planning we're unable to fit that in. The only availible options in the Forum Store are the Pet options.

To create your very own pet, go to the USER CP and at the bottom of the left menu, there's an option to "Create a Pet." Currently everybody is able to make a pet, whereas originally I set it so only users rated at least P1 would be able to create pets. Please give me some feedback on whether or not everybody should be able to create them. If not, plain registered users would have to wait to adopt pets. It's up to you guys.

So, Petz is in the navbar on top ^, you can see how much money each user has under his Rep points <, and you can see Bank Account Information/Items Held in each user's profile.

Ok, please post any questions/comments/brags in this thread, and enjoy the new hack!

P.S. The arcade seems to have been knocked off in the Petz installation. Please be patient while I figure out the problem. In the meanwhile, enjoy Petz, by all means.

EDIT AUG 24th: I have limited the number of taunts a day from 5 to 1. All it does it reduce a pet's pleasure; two people could completely demolish a pet's pleasure in a short period of time. So I decided to level it out to 1. The Pet Play limit is still 5 though, because I haven't had much chance to look into it. I have also set the prize for referring someone, which is 1000 points. So, get people here and it's an instant 1000 for you. It sounds like a good deal to me. ;)

EDIT: AUG 25th: Some members were having problems running the petz hack. To resolve this, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE WINE RED STYLE. If you are not, it will not work. I will change the Ocean Blue's template in the near future if people really want to stick with Ocean Blue, though. I also changed the inventory under request of cheaper items.

EDIT: AUG 25th: Due to abuse, referrals only count for 100. Gimpy is warned.

EDIT: AUG 31st: After some real complaining, I bumped up each post's value. A reply puts 20 monies in your pocket and starting a new thread gets you 30. If I see ONE person abusing this I will lower it and the said person will be dealt with the consequences.

[Dark Samurai]

My Petz options arent working for me. I was on Mozilla, then switched to IE, but it still doesnt work.

[Canyarion]

Face my Shelob. :devil:

Now what? :confused:

[Ace195]

Hrmm.. P1 these terms are new to me isn't that rep ? why am I having problems with the arcade page ?

[Bond]

Ace: http://www.gametavern.net/forums/showthread.php?t=753

Dyne must have messed something up while adding this new hack. I'm sure he'll fix the Arcade later.

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

errrr, when i go to "create a pet" the area where stuff's displayed in the User CP is blank


EDIT

and when i go to the adoption centre, the screen stays blank

[Canyarion]

It works for me.

[Fox 6]

Let the betting Begin :D :D

[Jonbo298]

I think my money is a little low unless it costs a ton of money just to create a pet

[Fox 6]

And people might just post anything they can think of to get some more $$money$$ :sneaky:

[Bond]

Well, the fact that Dyne has over 7000 in his bank account may be a little unfair.

[Fox 6]

I like the idea of daily intrest, that was smart good job!! :D

[ZebraRampage]

Well, the fact that Dyne has over 7000 in his bank account may be a little unfair.

How do you have no money?

[Bond]

It's all in my bank account, but I only have 274.

[Dylflon]

Yeah, I don't think I'll be making a pet. But all you crazy kids have fun now.

[Typhoid]

I made one....But only for the satisfaction of having a puppy named " Killiam the puppy".





EDIT: Since the arcade isnt working, does that mean once its back up, we have to regain our trophies?

[Swan]

errrr, when i go to "create a pet" the area where stuff's displayed in the User CP is blank


EDIT

and when i go to the adoption centre, the screen stays blank


Yeah, the same thing happens to me. I can't read the info thing either. The screen does the same thing as the adopt a pet screen.

[Ace195]

same here "dyne you got some spalnin to do" hehe :)

[Dyne]

Well, the fact that Dyne has over 7000 in his bank account may be a little unfair.

I had a lot more than that. It's for testing items and so on.

Remember, I'm god. :D I won't make it unfair though. I'll be taking some money out as soon as I finish testing all the items I create.

As for the blank pages, I'm pretty certain you guys fall under the group where you can't see anything. I'll work to see if I can get it to work for you.

EDIT: As for the trophies, I think they'll still be there.

[Vampyr]

I think this pet things sounds highly interesting...I'm going to check it out right away.

Thank you for all the work you did to make this, Dyne.

[Dyne]

You're welcome. Glad you're enjoying it. :)

NOTICE: I'm uploading a new arena image because the current one absolutely SUCKS! I need to test it out, too. I need one person to accept my current challenge in the Arena. There will be a 1000 appreciation transfer to your bank account afterwards for your trouble. ;)

I'm changing this:

http://gametavern.net/forums/images/petz/misc/arenalame.gif

to this, my own creation:

http://gametavern.net/forums/images/petz/misc/arena.gif

[Typhoid]

I would, but i dont have health. So i cant. You have kicked my puppy's ass too many times. But i would if i had full health.

[Dyne]

Buy some health items? Oh wait, you spent it all last minute, and you have minus money. Silly Typhoid. ;)

EDIT: Thanks for helping. 1000 transferred.

EDIT EDIT: I updated the first post.

[GameMaster]

Digital Petz is a promising enterprise unlike any other venue we've seen at GameTavern, I'm afraid I have no choice but to give it a good rating.

GM Approval Rating: http://www.gametavern.net/forums/images/4stars.gif / http://www.gametavern.net/forums/images/5stars.gif

Edit: My pet screens are blank too, someone kindly activate my account.

[Jonbo298]

Me and Bond's last battle, we're convinced prices for health stuff is too expensive. 130 for a 10hp recover is way too much. Maybe if it was like a 50hp recover, it wouldnt be so bad. Or just 30 money for the 10hp recover

[Typhoid]

Agreed, it will take a good solid hour ( kidding) of posting to rack up 130 points.


I say the prices should be modified slightly as well. But the lower prices for the healing thing sounds like a good idea.

[Dyne]

I'm not in control of the prices. The prices are automatic.

130 monies gets you 100 health, by the way. But I'll make another lower health item to raise 50.

I guess I'll make weaker items then if you guys are so poor. :p

[Typhoid]

I guess I'll make weaker items then if you guys are so poor. :p




Sorry, we cant just spawn our own funds whenever we need them.

[Dyne]

I truly am a god among men. :cool:


.... :D

Maybe you should refer some people to the forum. Vampyr made an easy couple of thousand that way.

[GameMaster]

I would like to be credited for my referalls please.

And the Petz stuff is all still blank for me, I'm using Firefox, is it an issue?

[Acebot44]

Nah, I'm using firefox and everything is going swell.

[Dyne]

Gamemaster figured it out. It only works on the Wine Red style.

A prize is coming your way, GM!

[Jonbo298]

Looks at my 10 referrals *cough* :p

[Vampyr]

Gamemaster figured it out. It only works on the Wine Red style.

A prize is coming your way, GM!


Oh jeez...The balance of the game has shifted big time...GM's pet will be a god, and so will Jonbo's.

If I post a challenge, is it possible for me to turn down an opponet? Because my poor little pet wont have a chance against that.

[Dyne]

Mm, nope. I don't think so, unless you surrender.

Jonbo, referrals only count AFTER the hack has been put up.

[GameMaster]

Is the referall/money transaction automatic or do we have to notify you when we recruit new homies?

[Dyne]

Automatic! :)

[Vampyr]

Mm, nope. I don't think so, unless you surrender.

Jonbo, referrals only count AFTER the hack has been put up.

Ok, *phew*

The way you said "GM, there is a prize coming your way!" made it sound like you were giving him money for ALL of his referrals, and I was just saying that that would throw the whole "even" playing field thing off.

[Canyarion]

Bah I lost with no contest from Typhoid's puppy.
Now I don't feel like playing anymore. :p
I don't even know how to revive the stupid critter!

Does anyone want a nice and cool and weak Shelob?? :D

[Fox 6]

You could put her up for adoption, they take care of her and eveything.

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

i challenge anyone with a level one pet to a battle!

[Vampyr]

Ahhhh...dont throw the poor little thing out yet.

I just pulverized ominub's spider though...heheheheh

My Mogget also has a place in my sig.

[Swan]

I ruled Fox 6's turtle last night. Will there eventually be tournaments?

[Dyne]

I ruled Fox 6's turtle last night. Will there eventually be tournaments?

Yes, but Dylflon won't be hosting them. I guess I will have to.

[Hero2]

Gimpys spider just hit my poor little kitty for 76 dmg and killed it now I need money to revive it :(

[Rubber Kitty]

Prepare to feel the wrath of
NECROBOBSLEDDER!!

:D

[Swan]

Sweet, I'm the fifth richest. :)

And my Jub Jub is on the list of the best. :)

[Fox 6]

yes your are on the richest list but i have more than have of what you have on you in the bank

[Swan]

True, but I'm still happy to be on the list.

And Dyne, did you draw all of the Petz?

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

hmm, you should be able to have privatized battles, so you don't cower in terror waiting for a friend to challenge you if you see Dyne's online

[Typhoid]

Yeah, i say either Dyne shouldnt be able to battle, on account he can spawn his own money and beef up his spider, or he doesnt spawn his own money.

And try to make it like the arcade, where you can challenge someone, and they can accept or decline, that would be way better, IMO anyways.

[Dyne]

I haven't spawned any more money. Just money to give you guys. :p

I probably won't participate in tournaments but instead organize it all.

And nah, I didn't draw the pets. But I could change them if I wanted, like I changed the Arena image.

[Typhoid]

Someone is a cheater, i wonder who?

Someone is a cheater is it you?

Someone is a cheater, i wonder who?



Ah, to hell with it, Its Gimpy.


EDIT: Gimpy, at least, if your gonna cheat that badly, change the names, make sure your IP is always different, and spend the money right away.

You really dont know how to cover your tracks.

[Jonbo298]

Yeah, there is blatant cheating going on that needs to be addressed (as in, a ban)

[Dyne]

Gimpy has been temporarily banned for creation of multiple accounts for the sole use of getting referrals. He is banned until Sunday.

[Ace195]

Yeah, there is blatant cheating going on that needs to be addressed (as in, a ban)
Banning is harsh.. I say just give a warning and call it a day I mean it's not like most of the people here are repeat offenders. :(

[Jonbo298]

Banning is harsh.. I say just give a warning and call it a day I mean it's not like most of the people here are repeat offenders. :(

It's not harsh. It's a just punishment for cheating. People need to learn.

[Fox 6]

I agree, he has to learn some how and a temporary banning is just what the doctor called for.

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

yes, it was me, but in my defense:

i just wanted to proved Dyne wrong about saying no one could afford the super pill.j Alas, as my luck would have it, i had to leave before i had a chance to use any of it. Won't happen again.

[Dyne]

yes, it was me, but in my defense:

It was something to build UP to, not something to run madly at. ;)

Shoot, Bond didn't even ban you. Well, you've said your apologies so I'll let you go this time. Creating multiple accounts is grounds for a ban at most other forums, so don't try it again.

There is also a condition. You must surrender 9,000 to a bank account. For now Petz is down so PM me when you're ready.

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

...can it be my bank account?

[GT News]

...can it be my bank account?

I often wonder if

it be his or her bank account

can.

[Typhoid]

I often wonder if

can.





He strikes again!!!!

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

i think Camfu bot is on my side

[Dyne]

...can it be my bank account?

Actually, yeah.

I'll load it up again.

[Ace195]

I think, that money should come more readily like 50 per post and 100 per new thread instead of the crap of 10 and 20 because I mean it's 5 new threads just to feed my pet and if I keep it up that long I'm gonna be typhoid

*badumpish* hehe wit love typh with love :)

[Typhoid]

*badumpish* hehe wit love typh with love :)



Im hurt.



I dont post to feed my pet..in fact i rarely to seldom feed my pet. I post alot because I have lots of free time, considering i spend most of my time on the phone, which leaves me free to type random banter.

And who are you calling badumpish? Look in the mirror my friend, you are much more badumpish than I am. :p

[Ace195]

nah good sir I'm merely say bahdumpish to get dyne's attention back in the day before he became "god" he was the great sig designer and...and... good sir the teller of jokes on gt along with gm.... so I'll show you bahdumpish :)

[TheSlyMoogle]

Gosh, why does all the food cost so much. My pet is hungry, but I don't gots no food stamps!

[Dylflon]

More money for prez!

Yeah, let's up it to 10 per post at least for now and set the random amount of findable money to between 1 and 20.

[Swan]

Yeah, raising the money per post and thread would be useful. And how much is the normal amount of random money now?

[Dyne]

Yeah, raising the money per post and thread would be useful. And how much is the normal amount of random money now?

1-10 because Dylflon was abusing it at 1-100.

Once again, I have no control on prices. And you don't need to feed your pet daily. The one that recovers 20 is reasonable.

[Dylflon]

1-10 because Dylflon was abusing it at 1-100.

I only abused it so you'd fix it.

[TheSlyMoogle]

My pet is dead. It needs food to revive it's total health.

I think there should be a revive option that allows you to full health revive your fallen friend for like 20 gold.

[Vampyr]

I'm having to spend more money on food than I am making in a day. I have plenty of gold for the moment, but I cant support this life style forever.

And there is something wrong with my play thingy. I was trying to play with Typhoid's pet, and it said that I am at my pet interaction limit, and should wait 24 hours. The problem? it's been like this for a few days, and it never resets itself.

So then I tried to taunt his puppy, and it worked. (sorry typhoid...it was an experiment gone wrong. :()

So yeah, that's messed up as well...

[GameMaster]

I just got a referall today and then I find that reward for it has been docked 900 points. -_-

[Vampyr]

I just got a referall today and then I find that reward for it has been docked 900 points. -_-

You only got 100 money for that?

That is sad. All of our pets are going to die of starvation.

[GameMaster]

You only got 100 money for that?

That is sad. All of our pets are going to die of starvation.

I hear you, man. I had to put mine up for adoption just to ensure it's survival. Now I channel all my earnings to those in need.

[Dyne]

I just got a referall today and then I find that reward for it has been docked 900 points. -_-

You can thank Gimpy for that dock.

I'll probably set posting to have more rewards.

[GameMaster]

Gimpy, I was going to make it big, the referalls were going to come in like fish, I was going to be one of Petz greatest money tycoons, but thanks to you, I'll sit hungry and cold at the bottom like every other Joe in this town. :mad:

[Rubber Kitty]

Necrobobsledder keeps yelping at me to feed him, but my pockets are empty. I can just barely afford a few cans of spam a day. I'm sorry, Necrobobby, I'm such a bad father :(

[Dyne]

I bumped up each post's value. A reply puts 20 monies in your pocket and starting a new thread gets you 30. If I see ONE person abusing this I will lower it and the said person will be dealt with the consequences.

[Typhoid]

I can already tell thats indirectly towards me. :p


Haha....good job at listening to the people, you would make a fine ruler.



*Runs off to make 14.40 more posts.*

Much love to you from my pet and I :D

[GameMaster]

I'll be watching for abuse too, if I see just one post with no purpose, Petz is gone altogether, there's no room for corruption aboard my ship.

[Ace195]

Hrm..... Petz was fun and I do like it but I'm just not in it for the long haul :(

[Canyarion]

Is my Shelob dead yet? :D

[Vampyr]

Thanks for the increase, Dyne!

Now all I have to do is make five posts a day to feed my pet (which I do anyway) and the rest of the money can be stored in the bank account...awaiting the day when someone is strong enough to challenge me and then I unleash the power. :cool:

[Hero2]

I cant play with or taunt pets. Its says I have to wait 24 hours but I havent played with or taunted a pet since sunday.

[Dyne]

That's a database problem. I looked into at but it doesn't seem to give any hints.

[Canyarion]

Is it me or do I have a lot of money? :confused:
1700 something....
I don't use it. :p

[Typhoid]

Is it me or do I have a lot of money? :confused:

I will volunteer to take it if you dont want it. :p

[Dylflon]

Or you could give the money to your old pal Dylflon. :cool:

[Swan]

Or to the lovable deejz. :D

[Fox 6]

I'm gonna saving for the super pills, Then all shall fear me!!!!1

How are the Pet Users all doing? Are you guys still battling and powering up your creatures?

He does have a point.

[Acebot44]

[Typhoid]

I can no longer access my bank. All that shows up is a blank white screen. Sup wit dat?


I think I remember Dyne saying something about Petz only working with the new skin....maybe he fixed that...hmm...all i know is i can access my bank.

[Dyne]

I think I remember Dyne saying something about Petz only working with the new skin....maybe he fixed that...hmm...all i know is i can access my bank.

Yes. I'm still working out the templates for Ocean Blue. The bank works fine for me on Wine Red.

University is just nice and busy for me right now.. Midterm season. Blah. I'll get to it as soon as I can.

[Neo]

How are the Pet Users all doing? Are you guys still battling and powering up your creatures?

I'm just now entering the game, mainly because I use the ocean style *cough* Dyne *cough*. My pet is Deathkitty and he will rape you all.

[Hero2]

Hell yea go neo. Deathkitty will rule all. Now I just have to make a new pet. Anyone with spare money please send it to me so My pet can rule. Thank you =-D

[Neo]

Because I rule.

Do you care if I make a shop? I'll use your price structure.

[Vampyr]

Do you care if I make a shop? I'll use your price structure.

Actually, you HAVE to use his price structure, considering you have no control over prices.

[Dyne]

Do you care if I make a shop? I'll use your price structure.

We're going to have to coordinate it. I'll be making all the items so it's more balanced. But you can come up with names.

[Canyarion]

We need some fair competition in our small economy! :mad:

:rolleyes:
