Pets for graal
 

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could just download a program,make a pet from scratch, choose its likes and dislikes which change its interaction with other pets, upload it to your graal account and control it with a list of commands? this is my idea for a pet system in graal. Depending on its likes/dislikes depends on whose pet you could breed it with. by saying (pets name)=follow it will follow you. you can make it whatever you want it to be (unless it's inappropriate in which case a report then ban) like a ghost or dog or creeper or monster hybrid. breeding it would allow you to have another pet but you cannot use your female pet for 2+ hours. each pet comes with food,water(food and water are not limited),a bed (make your own suitable for the pet),bathtub and the first one comes with a poster with a list of commands such as (pet name)=sleep and it will sleep in its bed. if it gets hungry the pet will say (sound it makes) (i'm hungry) ect. your pet can also farm graalits for you. a child pet has to be with its mom for an hour though so if you command it it'll say (sound it makes) (i can't i need to be with my child) also more pets=more graalits. pets can only mate once per day though and other pets are not active until their made. people can hit your pet though and if they do they will attack and if they have a child it'll say "don't hurt my mom/dad" and attack too. any opinions or questions regarding the pet system should be posted below and i will reply asap. thanks. sorry it's so long my ideas are complex to explain and sometimes i ramble!

I'm pretty sure Creepers are copyrighted.

It was just an example but if someone created one from scratch in this program i don't think so

Better use of punctuation and capital letters would make that a little easier to read, but it's an interesting idea. :)

What your talking about would be a whole new entire game. Stefan won't even make the level editor or graalshop gani maker for Mac, I doubt he would go through the trouble of making a whole entire new program for pet making. As great this idea is, it would be a different game.

Good idea, although there is one flaw;it won't happen.

Rambling is understandable if you have that many ideas on one subject. But rambling does make for messy posts, so, meaning no disrespect to you, I've tried to fix up some of your post and put it into logical order, just for other people to read.

I think your idea is great, but not really made for a server like iClassic. It's too complicated, and I really don't think that they'd be happy with free pets giving people more money. However, I think a playerworld could use this idea (changing the custom pet making software to something else), and use it well, if they decided to make a Pokemon-style server or similar.

I've already introduced a pet system to them and the idea was shot down, I wouldn't bother.

The reason Xor will not talk to me is because I asked him if the pet system would be implemented with something useful. He basically blocked me from skype because of it. :shy:

In my opinion, a pet system and a transformation system (which doesn't even let you use abilities while transformed) isn't the same.


So I've created my own that still needs to be finished. :D

No, im not that satisfied with this idea. This could also mean adding lag in my opinion.

Now i know what you're REALLY trying to do

It would be fun with pets in Graal.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
You should be able to make your very own furniture, not only pets.
Beds, chairs, tables, "desks", etc.
It would be amaizng if players had a chance to, also, customize their furniture, rather than only heads/bodies/shields/*swords.


Also, I was having the idea that in Doodle's Pet Shop, in Onnet Town, should have a baby furniture-pet that crawls around your house!:love:

Ita an awesome idea but very hard to be achieved :/

I must admit I didn't actually read your post.

Basically what you are asking is anyone can upload a pet.
There would have to be a system to use personality.
There would have to be a system for breeding.
There would have to be a system for affection.
There would have to be a system for actions and mood.

Every-time a pet breeds a new pet would have to be graphically created...
Basically, hypothetically, every two hours, per person, a new pet should be graphically created because that is when they can theoretically be bred.

So lets say 100/1000 people have a pet, in a day 12 new pets per 100 people would have to be created. That is 1200 pets a day. (Since a player creates his own pet, the possibilities of breeds are endless.)

That is, for 100 people, 438,000 pets per year.
Each pet having lets see.. By the minimum.
1 sprite for idle
2 sprites for walk
2 sprites for sleep (getting up / down and sleeping)
2 sprites for drinking (head in the middle, then down)
2 sprites for bathing (transition between two for bathing?)
3 sprites for breeding (woohoo is complicated)
1 sprite for yawning
2 sprites for gralat getting (open mouth slightly, open mouth fully and fire)

That is 15 sprites, which all need four directions. 60 sprites per pet so far...
A sprite is an image.

I'm honestly not so sure, assuming only 100 people will have pets per year, that a graphics team member would want to create 26,280,000 sprites per year.

And I would feel like the systems needed for it would be a waste of time also.. But more possible then the original creating a pet and breeding idea.

However, I'm pretty sure more than 100 people will want a pet...

I hope these statistics give you an idea why this pet system thought should not be created...
I may think a pet system would be an amazing idea,
but I also know what is possible and isn't. :x

You wouldnt have to create a gani/sprite for each pet. You would need just some sprites (for a basic system using differnt looks) and the gani could use either params or attributes which would require only one gani of each move.

Off server: I have been working on a pet system with snk on iEra which should get pretty much funny. You might have seen me running around with one though. We are planning more things to do with it.
