Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?

[Wildfilly94]

Its working now!!
Got two mares. :3

[Kadana Sorano]

My mare's stat bars have changed.  They were all solid gold stars when I purchased her, now some have stars some not, and the colors and amounts of stars have changed.

Just posting that, in case you needed feedback on it.

Also, I can't figure out how to get her named, or is that not operational yet?  I only now realized Ethendil's horses names might have been coded in lol

[Silvanon]

Thanks Kadana!  The original yellow stars were just placeholders.  And yeah, I don't have it coded for you to name your horses yet.  I'll be getting to that soon.

I did just get it coded so you can click on their bars to feed/water/etc. your horses, thus earning you gold and experience.    Also, if you click on your horse's name, you can see their pedigree (not terribly interesting at the moment with only first gen horses. XD)  The bars ~should~ fill up again at a rate of 1 tick per hour.   When you click them, you earn 2 gold and 1 EXP per tick.

[toffeeca]

I just tried to click on all the bars, hunger, thirst, stall, coat, etc, and they all filled all the way up  blue and each click gave me 9 experience and 18 gold.

[Silvanon]

Thanks for the report toff!  That's exactly what they're supposed to do. 

Now for each day you visit each of your friends you'll earn 5 gold and 3 exp.

Edit:  And now the much-asked-for function of naming your horse is up.  On your horse's profile at the bottom is a link called "Options" - click it to see the rename form, among others.

[Kadana Sorano]

Yay thank you Silv   My Mare now has a name, and I have a new mare and named her as well.  Clicking their bars worked, and I got my points for visiting Ethendil.

I went to visit Ethendil's boys, and saw breeding option!  So excited   And yes, I did try and be sneaky and use it before you said it was ready lol  I got the message "Whoops, that mare already has a breeding in progress. "  I'm a bit tired, so I did have to think a minute to figure that one out lol

[Silvanon]

*laughs*  Yes, it was still buggy when you tried it Kadana.  If you try it now the breeding will go through - your mare will become expectant for 24 hours from now.  I still have to actually write the script to birth the foal, so the foal itself might not arrive on time, however.

[Ravvana]

I successfully named my mare and requested a breeding with Desert Rose

edit: Silv, I'm missing some of my gold. I had 4000 left after buying Amira and then earned some change from doing chores. Now I'm at 2670. Did breeding with Desert Rose cost me over 1k? If so, some warning of a fee would have been nice; I thought it was free XD; If not, there's some sort of money-gobbling bug at large.

[Ravvana]

Also, does anyone using Little Horses want to be FB friends with me to enjoy the benefits of extra EXP, stud services (eventually), etc? I normally don't friend people I don't know in RL but I've known all of you for so many years that I trust you with access to that side of my life. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you my FB name. (Or search Silv's friends for the profile picture with Sean in it -- then you will truly know me well enough to be "friends"! XD)

[Kadana Sorano]

Breeding request submitted.  WHen a breeding is requested, does the stallion's owner have an option to accept/decline it?

Also, it took a good chunk of gold for me to breed as well.  So if it's a bug, then it's consistent lol if it's intended as a breeding fee, then it's working

Oh and one more thing Silv, is it coded in yet for us to spend fb credits on the game (like for the extra stable slot or such) or should we wait a bit?  I have a few credits left I've been saving for using on your game

---------

Rav, messaged you

Any one else wants to, they can add me as well.  https://www.facebook.com/DoloresDemonte

shoot me a message here or there if you add me so I know who you are, and be warned that I play a lot of games on there (it's primarily why I have the account) so generate a lot of game feed spam and invites.  So it can get annoying if you don't play games, unless you block me from sending posts such as those.

Quinsta, yay.

[BabyKittenCandy]

Sent you a request YLO!

[Kadana Sorano]

Ditto

[FCFC]

I also lost some gold when breeding xD;

But I'm excited with the developments! :'O

( Subhopping Willow >>; )

[Silvanon]

Ah, yes, I totally forgot to make sure the form mentioned the breed fee, and I most definitely need to fix that.  It's 1500 gold for any of Ethendil's current studs.  Once people have their own studs they can set their own fees for them.

Kadana - FBC purchases aren't implemented yet.  I'll announce here when it is.

Edit:  I've gotten a lot of coding done today!  Here's what's new:

- expectant mares now show their due date on their info pages

- once a foal is ready to be born, there will appear a button both on the mare's page and on the Your Breedings page to birth the foal.  Once birthed, the foal appears as a description only in the Your Foals area.  The foaling paddock can only hold up to 10 foals at a time.  Once you've reached the limit, you won't be able to birth more foals until you either grow or sell the foals there to clear some space.

- mares that are currently up for sale may not be bred, and expectant mares and stallions with unanswered breeding requests may not be put up for sale

- Once a foal is born and appears in the Your Foals area, you have the option either to grow the foal or sell it to the system for 500 gold.  If you sell it, it disappears from your account and you get 500 gold.  If you grow the foal, it becomes an adult and appears in one of your stall spaces.  If you do not have an open stall space, you cannot grow your foal.

- You may now purchase stalls for gold in the store once you have reached the appropriate level.  Stall prices vary based on how many you already have - they get more expensive the more you already have.

I haven't had a chance to debug most of this yet, so we'll see how well it all works.  I recommend checking here for bug reports before attempting an action.

[springacres]

Sent YLO a request, accepted Ravv's... and for those I don't already have as my friends, here's my page: https://www.facebook.com/springacres

Like Kadana, I play a LOT of games, so be prepared for game-related invites and help requests to show up in your feed (I do my darnedest to avoid sharing the level up/achievement announcement posts, but figured it was only fair to warn you guys anyway)

[Aralie]

I think I have sent everyone who has posted requests ^_^

Mine if anyone wants to add me. http://www.facebook.com/ella.white.1217

[red_uni387]

I sent requests to everyone who's posted

[SGA]

WTG Silv!  You're getting this put together so fast! 

AND yay, my foal is due in a few hours

Double yay!  I'm 1.5 levels away form a new stall for gold coins.  AND I just got another 12 FBC from clicking the adverts.  That brings me to 24 total.  I just have to try and refrain from spending them until  Little Horses is ready for them lol  I spend rather a lot on my Jigsaw puzzles.  *Is addicted to jigsaws* lol

[Silvanon]

WTG Silv!  You're getting this put together so fast! 

#^_^#  Thanks!  I'm working hard! 

I want to have this more or less up and functioning within the next couple of days here, so i can hit the breeding season hard and get it done before the month is out.  Because next month we'll be moving house again and I don't want to leave things hanging while that's going on.  It should be a much less hectic move this time, since we have a lot more time to prepare.

Ok so, further updates

- I was able to get foal birthing debugged (hopefully all the way).  I'll work on debugging foal growing/selling tomorrow, for now, try them at your own risk.

- I also worked on the store backgrounds & tack areas.  You can now see what's up for sale in thumbnail view and go to a more detailed page.  However the buttons to purchase don't actually work just yet.  There's not any tack available for purchase right now, and there's only two backgrounds up. 

[Daimas]

I take it that the new backgrounds still arent coded to buy?
Looking great so far Silv!

[PonyMama]

I have went through and added a few peoples
you are more than welcome to add me, but please PM me here if you can't find me or send me a PM in facebook to let me know who you are

Don't want any secundi friends becoming game friend fodder (which is where I stick people I do not know but only add for game purposes) the secundi people have their own folder

[BabyKittenCandy]

Okies, Added a few more people, for anyone else here is my fb link: https://www.facebook.com/merissa.mackie

ETA: If you can, please include a note of who you are or pm me on here, many thanks!

[SGA]

OK, ran into a snaffu with birthing.  I just went in to tend to my mares, and when I got to my pregnant mare's page there was a button (Birth Foal) I clicked it, and got this message.. "Whoops, that's not your foal!" With a link that says "Back".  Only when I tried to click that, the game froze and I had to restart it.

Also, there is no Birth Foal button on the breedings page, it simply says "No breedings at this time." when I go to that page.

I tried once more to click the Birth Foal button on Dapkee's page, but got the message again.  This time it did allow me to click the Back link, but when I clicked that it simply opened a new tab telling me "No breedings at this time."

Just like in real life I guess, Birth is never easy or fast lol

[YourLoveOnly]

Same bug as Kadana.

[Ravvana]

Minor problem, but I found a typo XD

"You excersize your horse and earn 18 gold and 9 EXP."

Exersize --> Exercise

[Ravvana]

Also, I just successfully birthed and grew Amira's foal

[Silvanon]

Kadana & YLO - I figured out what the problem was, the Breeding table wasn't saving correctly the IDs of breeding requesters when the IDs were too long.  I've fixed the general problem and fixed your breedings so they should show up as yours now.

And, thanks for the typo catch Rav, I've fixed that now!

[YourLoveOnly]

I have a new bug! I currently own two horses and have a third spot that says Open Space, but when I want to grow my foal it says:
Your foal is getting rather big for the foal paddock, but you don't have an open stall to put it in. Maybe you should go look at stall prices.
I don't think it's supposed to say that? XD And yaaay, I have a brown stallion just like I was aiming for!

[Silvanon]

Thanks for the report YLO - I think I found the problem.  Would you try it now please?

[YourLoveOnly]

Yaaay I have a handsome stallion now =D Thank you, this makes me so very happy! *snuggles new boy* He'll be up for stud too, just so everyone knows <3

[Wildfilly94]

*Points* Ethendil cheats!! Level 35! D:
XD

[YourLoveOnly]

Eeee, I see a new button! -pokes leave a blessing- Aww, it doesn't seem to be working yet XD

[Silvanon]

<.<  ...  >.>  He's been playing on his own for a long time now.  Yeah.  That's it.

YLO - I just put that in and haven't tested it at all yet.  What did it do when you clicked it?

[YourLoveOnly]

Nothing! -sadface- XD
Edit: Retried, still does nothing. No popup, no new window, no sound, nothing. No change at all. I'm not sure what it's supposed to do? =P

[Silvanon]

When it's working properly it'll leaving a blessing of a little gold for your friend (free to you - it doesn't come from your gold).  It should pop open a facebook Send Request window, and give you a message in-game that the blessing has been added.  I'm actively working on it right now.

[YourLoveOnly]

When I click it now a new text pops up underneath the button saying: You leave a blessing for your friend!
So I think it's working? But nope, no pop-up

[Wildfilly94]

XD Silly Ethendil.

[Silvanon]

I think I have friend blessings working now! 

[BabyKittenCandy]

Wow Silv, your doing such amazing work on this! Its fab!

[YourLoveOnly]

Silv my facebook said I had a request from you (in the game), but I don't see anything, does it do that when people leave a blessing? Because if you sent me a breeding request I cannot find it XD

[Silvanon]

Yeah, it sends a request when someone leaves you a blessing.  The request itself is automatically deleted once you visit the game again, but you can get the blessing reward (gold) anytime by clicking on the Collect Blessing Rewards link on the Your Place page.   

When you click on that link, it gives you the gold from the blessings you've received, it automatically returns those blessings in-game, and it gives you the chance to send a FB request to the friends involved if you want to give them an outside notification of the returned blessing.

[red_uni387]

When I tried to birth my foal: Error: No LegMarkings ID. Please report this error to Silvanon.

and the breeding disappeared. In the "My Foals" page, the foal description is a 0.

clicked "Grow Foal" cause the option was there and got this:

Warning: imagecreatefrompng(../PIQuinsta/QuinstaBases/ArabianFFL0.png) [function.imagecreatefrompng]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/silvan/LHCode/image_fns.php on line 30

BUT my foal has shown up as a grown adult

[Daimas]

not a glitch just funnier than anything so far, the second stallion on Ethendi's page is named the same as my PI mare^^

[Silvanon]

red - thanks for the error report!  I think I've figured out what caused it, and it hopefully won't happen again.

Daimas - oh man, I totally meant to go change the names sooner!  XD  The basic tables were copied over from the PI Quinsta ones, and I've been changing things here and there as needed, and that's a hazy explanation of why the name was the same.  ^^

[Daimas]

lol its okay^^ Just thought it was funny

[Kadana Sorano]

Got my foal now, thank you Silv

I only had an option to leave blessing for about half of my friends in game, but I'm assuming that is because they left blessings for me and I clicked to return blessings so thus already sent them some?

Also, I bred my mare Dameer with Nona's (I'm so sorry I can;t remember which Secundian Nona is!) Stallion Charles.  But on the Breedings page it lists ownership of Charles as being Ethendil.

[red_uni387]

Nona is YLO

[Silvanon]

Kadana - thanks for reporting that, I think I have it fixed now.

Also, purchasing of backgrounds is now functioning.  When you buy a background it appears in your Inventory.  If you click the inventory thumbnail you're taken to a page where you can see if the background is already equipped to a horse or not.  If it's not equipped yet, you can select a horse to equip it to.  If it is equipped, you can select to unequip it.

Also, on the individual horse's page, in the Options, if the horse has a background equipped, a link will appear to unequip it.

Oh, and yes, you can only bless each friend once per day, whether by visiting their page or by returning their blessing.



Updated To-do List:
* Do Grade & Gypsie Vanner full templates - IN PROGRESS
* Sell horse script - IN PROGRESS
* Add tack and homes areas to store - IN PROGRESS
* Search script
* Add FBC purchase options scripts - IN PROGRESS
* Draw tack
* Train horse script
* Ride/Drive horse script
* Draw more homes
* Draw more backgrounds

[Kadana Sorano]

Silv, it no longer lists Charle's owner as Ethendil, but it doesn;t list any owner of him now on the breeding page.  Also, on Dameer's page, it has the "Birth Foal" button available already, when I just bred her a few short hours ago.  I'm not sure if it should be there this soon.

Also, the "Share Pic" link that is now to the right of the "Options" link on the horses page is giving me this error "Fatal error: Uncaught CurlException: 26: couldn't open file "" thrown in /home/silvan/LHCode/base_facebook.php on line 814" and then freezing the game.

Equipping background worked perfectly, Dameer is now showing off the stable view   I also unequipped it again, and that worked as well.  But I reequipped it now.  Dameer is pregnant, she wants the comfort of the stable lol
