Title: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on May 31, 2012, 05:30:08 PM
To-do List:
* Add FBC purchase options scripts - DONE
* Do Grade full templates - STARTED
* Sell horse script - TESTING
* Do Gypsy Vanner full templates
* Add home areas to store
* Draw tack
* Train horse script - TESTING
* Ride/Drive horse script
* Draw more homes
* Draw more backgrounds
* Draw carts

===========================

Like the title says, I'm thinking of possibly making a facebook application game derived from Quinsta.  The name I've thought up for the game is "Little Horses," which is not currently taken as far as I could determine.  It would use the same artwork templates that Quinsta currently have, but with a premade image for each possible coloration.  (So, for example, if you get a tobiano, the shape of the tobiano marking is always the same.)  I'm also thinking to resize the templates down to only about 60% of their current size. 

Little Horses would allow people to breed horses using the same genetics system and personality system currently in place for Quinsta.

I'm thinking to allow users to place different backgrounds behind their horses that can be purchased with in-game money and/or Facebook Credits.  There could be ranch settings, nature settings, fantasy settings, etc.

I'm also thinking to include the same training system Quinsta has, with the various trainers and the various courses, with some courses being prerequisites for others.

I'm thinking to allow people to sell their horses to other plays and allow people to breed their horses to other player's horses.  Players would only be able to buy, sell and breed horses with their in-game Neighbors.

Players would have a limited number of horses they could have at one time (a certain number of stalls).  The number of slots would increase as the player's level increases.  For impatient players, additional slots could be purchased at any time with Facebook Credits.  Once a player's slots were full, they would not be able to breed or buy additional horses until they'd sold one of their current horses. 

Both experience and in-game money would be gained by interacting with your horses.  Ways to interact with horses would include cleaning stalls, feeding, watering, brushing and excersizing them.  Once a horse was trained to a sufficient level, and the necessary equipment was purchased, they could also be taken out riding or driving (carriage/cart, not car).  There would be "energy" bars for each of these with a certain daily limit for each.  Training would increase the related riding/driving bars somewhat.

Things that would cost in-game money would be buying horses, breeding horses, training horses, different backgrounds for the horses, and different equipment for the horses. 

======================

There are two main reasons I'm thinking of doing this.  The first and biggest is that we're in increasing financial distress and I need to figure out ways to make money from my talents to keep us afloat.  So I'm really hoping to have a fun game with things for sale for Facebook Credits that people would really want to buy.  The second is that I think Facebook could use a horse game that centers on breeding horses and uses realistic color  inheritance.  As far as I can tell, the closest thing currently is Horse Saga, and that's being taken down soon in favor of a more farmville-esque game that doesn't center on breeding.

So, if I do this I want to do my best to make it good.  I'm not going for a flash-based game, it would be PHP-based similar to Secundi.  Also I don't intend to replace Quinsta with this game - I would continue doing Quinsta here.  I would release new breeds in Little Horses after first introducing them here as Quinsta.

So, with all that in mind, what are your thoughts and suggestions for changes, features, ways to make the game good, and ways for me to make money off the game?

==========================

Finally, the thing I haven't figured out yet and especially want ideas for - what are good ways to incorporate neighbor interaction into the game?

:O I would LOVE this!! <3 <3

That is pretty much all I can say. Your fantastic ideas on FB would just be amazing!!

As far as neighbor interaction; mabye you could visit your neighbors stalls and pet/feed/groom their quinsta for them?
You could get money/points or new breeds/color patterns/stalls unlocked for doing so?

o:

*dies*

This would be amazing.

I was going to suggest pretty much what Wildfilly said for interaction.
In an app on my phone, you can visit a neighbours farm and give their animals 'love', this boost's the indidual animal's happiness, and you also get a +1 'love point', a small amount of EXP and a small amount of cash.
It works, because it makes you want to visit the other players :3

But I'm sure people would catch on anyway!
Gawd I'd be all over this.
All over it.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Wildfilly94 on May 31, 2012, 05:39:47 PM
Yeah, what Willow said!
All over this I would be *nods*
*Drools and stares at FB waiting for the game to appear* XD

I second Wild and Willow on this. :) Most facebook games that I know of usually let you interact with neighbor's farms/whatever and get a small amount of experience from that. Neighbors can also send gifts, so perhaps implanting that would help? Perhaps have certain items you can only get by gifting would add some incentive for people playing together.

Also, how does that work - making a facebook game? It would be located on facebook, correct? Do they pay you depending on how many people play/are playing?

That's an amazing idea, Silv! I agree with everyone else to go for it!

Woooooo! :D

Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions, guys! :)

Skysong - The way Facebook applications work is that you host them on your own site and use special code to have the application interact with Facebook.  Facebook provides a "Canvas Page" on Facebook that pulls up your site and makes it look like the application is actually on Facebook.  They don't pay you anything for apps themselves, the only way to earn money from it is by selling stuff for Facebook Credits.  I've done a couple very simple quiz applications already, but this project will be far more ambitious.  Hopefully I'll be up to the challenge!
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: SkySong on May 31, 2012, 05:51:16 PM
Hm, it seems they should give you money for an app if it's popular. But at least it should pull something in, right? And if it's on facebook, then people outside of Secundi have a chance of interacting with it as well. Good luck, either way!
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Ravvana on May 31, 2012, 06:00:26 PM
I think the idea sounds fantastic :) I was worried you would be taking Quinsta off Secundi when I first saw the idea, but as long as we have them here too, I say go for it! <3 I'd just be sad to lose the fully individual Quin, and the community/culture we have here for them.

I used to love Horse Saga when it was mainly a breeding game, but they lost me with the transition. I know a lot of other players were really disappointed with the change in focus, too, so hopefully they will come swarming to your new game.

I do hate FB games that require *so* much neighbor interaction, though, since not many of my friends play FB games. Games that require collecting lots of items from neighbors to complete quests, etc -- I always get immediately fed up and quit. I'd like neighbor interaction to be more of a bonus, ie. neighbors can visit and feed/pet the horses which gives them some kind of temporary boost/perk, you get something nice for interacting with other players' horses, you can send gifts to neighbors (although the gifts shouldn't be integral to enjoying the game).

Once the idea becomes realized, I would love to "friend" other Secundi members who want to start playing so we can enjoy it together :)

As an aside, Silv, your coding skills continue to confound me XD I had no idea that individuals could create FB games at all.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Wildfilly94 on May 31, 2012, 06:03:14 PM
Yes, I think all of us on Facebook that joined the Secundi group should friend eachother and help eachother out, if this turns up on facebook in the future. :3 I have Willow and Luv, but no one else currently.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: SkySong on May 31, 2012, 06:12:57 PM
There's a Secundi group? And yeah, if this turns up, it'd be great if all the Secundi folk could play together. :)
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Wildfilly94 on May 31, 2012, 07:53:16 PM
Yep! Just type in Secundi in the search bar, and I think that should take you to it.

I think this is a great idea.

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: TheLeet on June 01, 2012, 02:44:22 AM
Sounds fun :D

I don't know how likely you'd be to make any money from it. I suppose it depends on how many people buy stuff with fb credits. I hope it won't be too expensive to host it yourself?
You've probably already done the maths and worked out how many fb credit  things you'd have to sell every day.The one fb game I'm still playing seems to be increasingly selling premium items and nothing else but maybe they're just greedy XD

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on June 01, 2012, 01:17:32 PM
I would play Quinsta on FB.  It sounds wonderful.  The only reason I have a FB account is to play games, and the horse games there are way too few.

For neighbors.. I would like to see a game that doesn't 'require' you to have xx amount of neighbors (usually in ever increasing numbers) in order for you to advance.  I don;t mean that there should be no neighbor interaction or incentives, gifts etc, I'm fine with those.  And breeding with neighbors would be fun.  I mean those games that give you a quest to have X amount of friends, and if you don't get them then the quest sets there forever.  Or games requiring you to have X amount of friends to pass certain game levels.

I wonder about the energy thing, would that be energy for the player, or for each individual Quin?  How much energy would there be, and how fast would it refill?  I'm really starting to get bored with the games that take half a day or so to refill energy so I can play again.  I've actually just started trying out new games, searching for non-energy/turn based ones to play.  So how long it takes to refill the energy bar's, will be a factor in how much I play the game.

The third thing, is I look for games that I can take extended breaks from, without anything bad happening while I am not playing.  If for example I take a weeks break form the game, and then came back, would my Quin be dead from starvation?  Or would my logging out of the game have kept them in a sort of stasis?  Or maybe there can be an option to set the game into "vacation" mode.  Nothing would progress at all, but the Quin wouldn't die either.

Those are the only things I can think of right now, but they are my biggest concerns/annoyances with the games I play currently. 

Oh, btw.. how do FB credits work?  I mean, I've bought game stuff with them before, but how does the game owner get money from FB credits?  This has always confused me, especially since I don't actually spend USD to buy the FB credits I spend.  I get them for filling out surveys and such.

Post by: Winged on June 01, 2012, 02:23:19 PM
I would love to see this! Don't think i have any suggestions that haven't already been said. I agree that it would be good to have the friend part as a bonus, since not many of my friends play fb games. But i would try and persuade them xD
I've never actually used fb credits, since i've never liked a game enough to bother spending the money and i also don't have paypal yet. But i might spend credits on a quinsta game if i could, to support it :)

I never knew there was a fb Secundi group! I shall look for it.

Post by: BabyKittenCandy on June 01, 2012, 03:33:43 PM


Echoing what everyone else has already said Silv, your amazing and im sure you could do it!

I would certainly be interested in it, so long as we dont loose Quinsta from Secundi.  I have to agree with Kadana in that i get a bit annoyed with games that require an ever increasing number of neighbours to advance but I would certainly lobe to see it happen!

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: LaneyAngel on June 05, 2012, 08:44:43 PM
I'm with the others on the neighbours thing...

I think it would be a good idea to provide incentives for visiting neighbours, like maybe, you can go to a neighbours place, and you do 5 things (like you can on Farmville), whether its grooming, watering, feeding anothers horse.... or the like. And as a reward, you get one energy point and a small amount of cash... so if you have 10 neighbours, you go to 10 houses and for doing all the little chores, you can earn 10 energy instead of waiting for it to refill. BUT, if you NEED neighbours to move along in the game, like, you can't complete missions without having X number of neighbours, then I'd probably be annoyed as like a lotta people, my Facebook friends don't play games, so it gets arduous when you have to rely on friends to do stuff for you.

I would be definitely interested in playing it. And would be thrilled to be a beta tester for the game once you've got it scripted and incorporated into Facebook. Or I'd be happy to do beta testing before it even reaches Facebook. :)

The Quinsta that are here on Secundi, would we be able to start off the game with them, or would we start completely fresh with new ones.
And given that all markings would be the same so it can be done automatically, will it come to that here on Secundi as well, or will we still have individually coloured ones here on Secundi proper.

Aaaaand, would anybody here on Secundi ever be able to export some of our in game Secundi to here? Or would the two never meet or come together and act as two completely separate entities, individual and unique of each other?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on June 05, 2012, 10:08:45 PM
I might eventually offer some sort of option to import your Quinsta to become Little Horses and/or visa versa, but generally speaking I intend to keep them separate.  I'm definitely not going to offer free-for-all importing/exporting.

I don't know how much people have noticed, but Quinsta do already have some "preset" markings - for example bay, dapple and dun.  I do however color them individually and I'll often mix up how much of the marking shows, etc.  And I haven't templated markings that tend to be highly individualistic, like tobiano, the overos, or appaloosa markings.  I intend to continue with the present system for Quinsta, while Little Horses will have everything templated with limited variation for a specific marking.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: LaneyAngel on June 06, 2012, 04:23:36 AM
I think I'd only want to import something from Little Horses if I managed to breed something amazing that could fit into a project here on Secundi.

And of course, I imagine paying a fee would be fine.

Post by: Ryuukokoro on July 06, 2012, 09:59:10 AM
I only play one Facebook game, and that's only because my parents begged me to become their 'neighbor' lol. So I'm quite a novice when it comes to these sorts of games.

But I do really like in the game we play (Uh... I can't even remember the name right now, it's some sort of time travel picture hunt kind of game...) how the neighbor thing works. If you 'visit' your neighbor's page you get a bonus, and also get the option to 'hide' a present somewhere on the screen. Your neighbor can do the same for you.

Then when you sign into your accont, a window pops up that says 'so and so visited you and left you a gift!' and then you have to look for it (which gets challenging when you have a TON of stuff on your page) and finally you see there's a tiny icon of a present somewhere on your page and click on it to get the gift. It's fun! ^.^

Maybe you can do your neighbor system something like that. A gift giving option, but also interactive because you have to find where they hid it before you get it.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: springacres on July 06, 2012, 12:29:35 PM
Ryuu, that sounds like Gardens of Time.   And personally I find the gift hiding thing to be one of the more frustrating aspects of that game lol!  But you're right, it is a fun concept.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Ryuukokoro on July 06, 2012, 07:43:08 PM
Aha, that IS it! Thanks spring!

Haha it's easy for me to find the gift because my screen is bare, I barely play. XD;; I imagine for big players with lots of stuff it would get frustrating! I just really like the idea of something interactive for you to do when your friends visit you.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 10, 2012, 06:38:52 PM
Things are moving along!

I'm working at the moment on the layout for the game.  Here's what I've got at the moment:

(http://www.silvanon.com/LittleHorses/images/ExampleLayout.jpg) (http://www.silvanon.com/LittleHorses/images/ExampleLayout.jpg)

(Click the image to see the full layout.  It's a little bigger than the forums want to show.)

The top section with the horse image and stats is the "main" area, where it'd show the store, the search, a horse's pedigree, or whatnot, depending on what links you click.  The "Horses" area shows your horses when you're working with your own stable, and shows friend's horses if you're visiting someone else's stable.

Have I forgotten anything or are there parts that particularly bug you?

Thanks for the feedback?

Ok, there's basically nothing functional at the moment, but I need at least a few Facebook friends also on the app so I can start poking around with friend features.  If you're willing to help out, then

1. If we're not Friends on Facebook yet, please add me:  http://www.facebook.com/cami.mckune

2. Then please go to the app and approve its requested permissions:  http://apps.facebook.com/littlehorses/

At that point your game account will be set up with your name, level, and starting barn picture, and that's pretty much it.  XD  But I'm working hard and it's going to come along quickly, hopefully!

Ok, after much poking around, I ~think~ I have it set so everything should work whether you're on http:// or https://  ... for those who were having problems with that, could you let me know if it's really fixed?

Exited game and re-entered.  It loaded fine.  And now I can see your little character icon in my friends list down there :)

ETA: but I just noticed yer char image in the friends bar, the link unfer it (that says Friend) takes up 3 character headshot spaces.  It basiclaly smushed the word "Friend" up five times back to back, under your little pic.

Today's Updates:

Got a good start on the back admin section.  Also got a good start on the horses section of the store.

And, I figured out how to add third-party offers of Facebook Credits, like, "watch a commercial and earn 1 facebook credit!"  I tried out a few to make sure it was working and earned 4 facebook credits, which were indeed added to my account.  I'm really happy to have gotten that added in an working.  I like free FBC's.  XD

To-do Soon:
* Finish up the store so you can actually buy a horse, a stall, or a background (tack and new homes coming later).
* Make the individual horse info pages
* Make the friend's place page

A little further down the road:
* Interact with horse for Gold/EXP script
* Submit breeding request script
* Generate foal script
* Birth foal script
* Grow foal script
* Release foal script
* Sell horse script
* Put stud up for breeding script
* Train horse script
* Interact with friends for Gold/EXP script
* Search script

To do after that:
* Draw more homes
* Draw more backgrounds
* Draw tack
* Add tack and homes areas to store

It sounds and looks great Silv!

And haha I just came form FB where I checked in on the game and saw there are horses in the store now.  I also watched a Mormon.org vid for a free fbc.

Two things.. 1. did you intend for the store to open in a new window when clicked?  and 2.  Will you be adding a full screen option later on when you are done setting everything up?


ETA: Store is now opening in the same page :)
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 14, 2012, 11:18:31 AM
Kadana - no, the store isn't supposed to be in a pop-out window.  What browser are you using?

And no, I don't think I'll do a full-screen mode.  Fussing with one layout is enough for me.  ^^
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: SGA on July 14, 2012, 12:51:13 PM
I'm using Firefox version 13.0.1

But the store opens in the same window for me now (the same window I click the store link in I mean) and no longer opens a new browser window.  I thought you'd already fixed it is why it changed.  If not, then I;m not sure why it suddenly changed lol

Kadana - hum, no idea why it changed, either. 

Wildfilly - ah, I didn't realize it was still doing that for you.  A couple questions - have you logged into Facebook recently, or when you go to the site are you just already logged in?  (In other words, if you haven't already, try logging out of Facebook and then logging back in again.)  If that doesn't work, then can I ask what browser & operating system you're using?

Same situation as Rav for me.

I tried clicking on an "open space" on the "Your Horses" section, and it brought me to the store in the same window, though. Perhaps there's something wrong with the link in that one spot?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 15, 2012, 07:42:17 AM
Oh, Wildfilly, one more question - do you see the brown frame of the game at all?  Or is it just a blank white page with the login error message?

Thanks to the rest of you for reporting the store problem.  I think all these issues are problems with different browsers interpreting the layout's iframes differently.  *ponders*

Edit:  Wild, try it now, I think I might have found the solution to IE's problem.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?

You can now purchase a horse from the store, and see the beginning of your horse info pages.

I fiddled around with the store links some, and they all open inside the page like they should for me, but what are they doing for the rest of you?  Are they popping out in new windows?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 16, 2012, 11:55:09 PM
Store opens properly fr me, using both the Store link as well as the Open Space link with the horse head icon.  Purchased my first horse!  Transaction seemed to go smoothly, I clicked to buy the black :)  My money was deducted fine, however when back on my page, I have no horse listed.  All my slots still read as "Open Space".

ETA: I tried refreshing the page, as well as exiting the game and re-entering, but the horse I purchased still is not showing up.

Also, I can now view Ethendil's horses.  They look good :)  However, the horse named Oriolin Verana is listed as being a Grey, but looks just slightly less of a "brown" color then Primo, who is listed as a Bay.  I'm not horse color savvy so not sure if that is indeed Grey, or if it's an error and thought I;d mention it in case :)
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 17, 2012, 12:08:30 AM
Thanks Kadana!  I think I figured out the bug that caused your horse not to go to your account.  I restored your money back to 5,000, would you let me know if things don't work properly this time?

Thanks for pointing out Oriolin, too.  He's supposed to be marked as a Flaxen Chestnut, I fixed him. ^_^
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 17, 2012, 12:20:51 AM
It worked this time, yay!  I now have a pretty black mare :)

I see that the horses in the store are all mares currently, about how often will the stores "stock" rotate out once it's fully set up?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?

was able to buy my first horse, the Bay mare. all went well and she is now in my stall.

So far its looking great Silv^^

Thanks for reporting you two!  That's a good question Kadana, I'm not really sure at this point.  I do know I'll be adding more, and they'll include stallions too.  The ones there right now are just for starters/testing.

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
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 18, 2012, 04:07:34 PM
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.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: toffeeca on July 18, 2012, 05:46:54 PM
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.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 18, 2012, 05:59:24 PM
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.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 18, 2012, 11:07:38 PM
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 :D  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
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 19, 2012, 12:06:59 AM
*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.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Ravvana on July 19, 2012, 12:43:13 AM
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.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Ravvana on July 19, 2012, 12:49:48 AM
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)
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 19, 2012, 01:30:46 AM
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.

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 19, 2012, 11:00:40 AM
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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: YourLoveOnly on July 20, 2012, 02:30:35 PM
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 :P

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
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 20, 2012, 04:04:28 PM
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.

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:

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.  ^^

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.

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

Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 21, 2012, 01:24:38 AM
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

I'll check into the other errors you mentioned, now.   Edit:  I think I have both of them fixed Kadana.  Could you check & let me know?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 21, 2012, 02:13:23 AM
hehe yes, I saw Cami's shared horses right after I posted here lol

Breeding request page still lists no one under the "Dad's Owner" space.

There is no longer a Birth Foal button on Dameer's page.  But it also does not list a due date, or say she is pregnant.

Share option appeared to work, but when I went to my Home page and Profile page on facebook, I could not find where the image was shared at.  (Usually when I share things they show up on my profile page, but not always, I dunno where else it goes though).

I thought we had to manually approve breeding requests? So I think Silv fixing the bug meant I actually get to approve it, because it shows up with my breeding requests now :P -goes to check for inbreeding and then approve requests-
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 21, 2012, 02:19:56 AM
Haha!  that makes sence I guess lol  Wait.. check for inbreeding?  seriously? lol  bit early for that I think hehe

And yes, Dameer's page now lists a due date :)  Foal Due: Jul. 22, 2012 2:15

But the game froze again, and i had to refresh it to check the Breedings page.  The "Dad's Owner" slot has now disappeared entirely.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 21, 2012, 02:30:03 AM
Once the breeding has been approved I don't bother showing the Dad Owner slot anymore, so that's not a bug.  I'll have to go check it out later why it wasn't showing a name for the Dad Owner still, before the breeding got approved.  Right now, though, going to head to bed.  Night all!

Post by: YourLoveOnly on July 21, 2012, 02:32:05 AM
Well my boy is 2nd gen (because boys cannot be bought in stores yet XD) so I do check, because I know some people bred mares to Ethendil's smexy boys and thus they could be related and it would be very very heavy inbreeding to cross lines already. But everyone submitted first gen mare requests, so yay, all approved.

And huh, that is a weird bug XD It seems we are good at finding those :P

Just saw this - if you haven't granted the app the permissions to automatically publish then shared photos have to be approved by you first before they appear in your profile (should be waiting in your albums area).  I just made a change that I think will cause the app to ask for the permission needed to automatically publish.

Edit:  I decided to up the blessing rewards from 2 gold per blessing to 5 gold per blessing.

Silv I'm confused, I thought all colors were templated and only leg/face markings were different? But Camille's Latent says grey for the coat, but she's a totally different color from the other grey girls, is her coat color a mistake?

Everything is completely templated, but each color has 4 different variations.  Base coat colors can range from light to dark, and white markings can range from small to big.  Those factors are inheritable, too.  Just to help things be a bit more interesting. :)

I found a potential search bug. I searched in "Color" for "Grey," and all the sold grey horses popped up correctly -- but no fleabitten greys. When I searched for "Fleabitten grey," there were 0 results. I know there are some fleabitten greys because I own one... Is the search confused by there being two separate words?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 22, 2012, 12:17:23 PM
Oh!  You know, I think the search doesn't pull up your own horses actually, because it's based on your friends list (and you don't get listed in your own friends list).   I just searched Grey and your fleabitten gal showed up Rav.

So, question - should I modify the search so your own horses are included, or leave it just searching other people's?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: red_uni387 on July 22, 2012, 12:18:46 PM
It might be useful if you're looking to see how many of a certain color exist, but I would think you wouldn't need to search up your own horses....

Silv, as for the search, I'm fine with it not showing my own horses.  Unless I manage to get like, a million horses or something , then I don;t see a problem with manually searching through my own.

Willow, if your friends already visited you and left a blessing, and you accept it when you log in before visiting them, then there won;t be a button to leave them some, because when you accept theirs it sends some back to them and you can only send to each person once a day.  I was confused by that a bit as well at first :)

Of course, if you have no blessings left for you when you log in for you to accept and return, then I dunno.  I don't use chrome sorry, I use FireFox primarily with IE as a back up.

SIlv, I was just trying to take care of my horses and the game stopped working.  It didn't freeze exactly, it just won't load.  It went to a white page in between changing horses, and just sits there with the "loading" symbol going in my browser.  Every other page/game I have tried is loading fine.

Has anyone tried selling a horse yet? I'm wondering if the only option is to sell to a friend, or if you can sell back into the system for a set amount of money. I'm concerned that given the limited number of stalls we have, eventual "reject" horses will be hard to sell to friends, and then we won't be able to buy new ones given lack of space... Hoping that if sell to system isn't a current option for adults now, it will be soon. I'm afraid to test it now because I love my mares too much XD;

Also, I don't mind if we can't search for our own horses :) I was just confused.

Fixed the issue with app permissions - I had to remove and reinstall the app.  (Note that removing a Facebook app isn't like uninstalling a computer game - every time I've done it before and then gone back to using the app, it's saved all my data except the permissions.  Little Horses was no different.)
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 23, 2012, 09:17:03 PM
You can't sell to anyone yet, that part of the script is only partially done (see the to-do list near the end of page 3) but once it's all done you'll have a choice to sell either to friends or to the system.

And yes, Little Horses will save all your in-game data, because that's on my servers, not on Facebook's.  New users will be prompted to give the right permissions from the get-go, but for those of us who signed up before then, you'll have to do like springacres if you want to publish photos.  I thought it would automatically asked you all for them once I added them in, but turns out not.  Thanks spring for verifying that remove/reinstall works!

Silv, there is a discrepancy in the price of stalls for FBC.  I was just poking around in the store and in the stalls tab I saw this

QuoteStall #5

Available
Level 10
Coming soon: Buy now for 2 FBC

But on the strip where it shows my Horses, the 5th place says it costs 12 FBC.

I do seem to remember that the FBC cost on the little strip and in the shop matched up for the 4th box, but I purchased that with gold and can't remember 100% positively now.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 24, 2012, 10:01:48 AM
Ah, thanks Kadana!  I had to make a change to how the price is stored in preparation for implementing FBC purchases.  I remembered to update the Your Horses strip, but I forgot about the one in the store.  It should be fixed now.

Post by: Silvanon on July 24, 2012, 03:11:49 PM
You should have had a notification that you'd received blessings.  The requests were generated by that, and when you collect your blessing rewards the blessings are automatically returned, with the option to send a FB request along with them.

Personally I rather dislike in games having to "approve" each individual request in order to get rid of it (honestly I've given up ever going back to some games because I have literal hours worth of requests to deal with), which is why I implemented this en-mass automatic handling of blessing requests.  But what do you guys think, is this too confusing?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: red_uni387 on July 24, 2012, 03:14:50 PM

Silv, I requested a breeding between a mare I own and a stallion I own, and when I approved the breeding, it ate my 500G stud fee. Since I own the stallion, shouldn't the money have come out even (subtracted for breeding, added for stud fee)? Does the stallion's owner not keep the stud fee?

EDIT: It also says that my second mare, Debbani, is pregnant and cannot be bred, but she is not currently pregnant.

Rav - I found the bug that was making your mare say she had a breeding already.  As for breeding to your own stud, I've fixed the script so in the future if you're using your own stud it's automatically approved and no stud fee is required.  I haven't been able to find any bug in the code that would make you not get your stud fee back, though, and when I tried it out myself the stud fee was correctly transferred.

Selling of horses to other players, and to the system is now implemented!  Both run from the horse's Options page.  Please let me know if you run into any bugs with it!

Oh, also, I put my current to-do list that I'm updating in the first post of this thread, if you're curious to see what I'm working on and what's coming up.

Silv, I love the way accepting gifts is set up now.  It's not like I will ever not want to accept any, and I certainly do want to return them all, so it's pretty much perfect as is :)  The "ghost" notifications I do believe is a FB issue.  I have it with almost every other game I play at some point or other.


ETA: Just tried to purchase a stall with FBC, clicking on the 5th stall on my horse strip.  It opened up a new tab on my browser, but the page is blank.  It did not take any FBC from my account.  Tried to purchase via going directly to the store and stalls section, with the same results.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 25, 2012, 01:33:13 PM
Daimas - thanks for the report on selling to the system.  I think I found the bug.  Would you let me know if you still encounter a problem?

Kadana - Hum...clicking on the stall should take you to the store, and it shouldn't be opening a new tab.  Facebook requires that all FBC purchases be made while you are inside a facebook page frame, so a new tab opening is definitely a problem.  What browser are you using?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 25, 2012, 01:44:00 PM
I'm using Firefox 14.0.1

And yes, I thought about that after I posted, that clicking the stall took me to the store anyway lol  But I was too tired to think to edit, sorry.

The new browser tab that it opens is still labeled at the top as Little Horses.  and still has a base little horses "frame" on the page, but that's it.  I can try and get a screen shot if that helps?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 25, 2012, 01:54:34 PM
Hum, ok, I just downloaded Firefox and tried it out, but it opened like it should within the same page.  So not a browser specific problem.  I'm thinking now it's something to do with the settings on your computer.  Possibly a popup blocker?  Do you have javascript disabled perhaps?  Have you changed any setting with regards to iframes?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 25, 2012, 02:06:35 PM
I have adblock plus, and it does block pop ups, but it doesn't block the other pop ups for little horses so I didn't think that was the issue?  I'll try disabling it and see.

As for having javascript disabled, or the iframes thing, I have no clue what either of those things even are, so I don;t know :(

Anyway, I'll go disable adblock and see :)

ETA: OK, I tried disabling adblock just for your page/game, and that didn't help.  I disabled adblock all together, and it still didn't help.  The game did however, take much longer to load with adblock disabled.  Not sure if that's relevant or not.

How do I find/get you answers about the javascript and iframes?

I tested the training, and it seems to work :) I trained Amira in ground manners with Tusca, and got this message: "Your horse completes the Ground manners class and receives a score of 98 for a ribbon color of Blue."

Yay Amira! XD

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 25, 2012, 11:14:23 PM
Nope, it didn't change anything, sorry Silv :( 

I tried to use Internet Explorer to connect to the game just now, thinking maybe it might help.  I know there are a rare few FB games I cannot play on FF and have to use IE  if I want them to work right.

But it didn't work in IE either.  It opened a new browser window instead of a tab like on FF, but all the new window has on it is the thin brown game "frame" with the brown "header" at top stating that it's Little Horses by Silvanon.  To the right on that brown header is Back|Help links.

The bottom of the page, in the brown/tan area under the actual window, says "Done, but with errors on page."  I did not get that message on FF.

And I don;t know what version my IE is, if someone can tell me where to check that, I'll let you know.

Oh one other difference with IE, I keep getting a little security pop up telling me "this page contains secure and nonsecure items.  Do you want to display the non secure items?"  To which I have been clicking Yes.  This happens not only on the shop page for purchasing the stall, but when I initially enter the game as well.  But I never got that message using FF.
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 25, 2012, 11:41:13 PM
Ok, I went through on IE and I think I got all the "bugs" it was complaining about taken care of.  FBC purchases still weren't working after all that, but then I found another little fix online that I tried, and it does seem to be working in IE now.  So, try it in IE and let me know what you get Kadana.  Thanks!
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Kadana Sorano on July 25, 2012, 11:46:29 PM
Nope, still not working on IE.  Same results, sorry :(

On the plus side, it isn't taking my FBC.  Quite a few of the FB games do take the FBC even when the transaction didn't really go through.

ETA: Gonna try a difference computer.  No clue if/how/why that might work, but it's somethign I can try anyway.

ETA2:  OK Silv, I booted up the newest comp, the one Ali built last year.  I tried it on FF, IE, and Opera on his comp, and get the same results with all three browsers.

I'm making a big change to how the game layout works.  Pretty much everything ought to look the same to you guys once I'm done, but it should prevent the new window problem that's preventing secure connections from being able to buy with FBCs.

Everything might break rather badly while I'm doing the update.  I'll get through it as quickly as I can.

Okay, so after playing for a bit, I do find one thing a bit....distracting. The font. It seems like you're using the default web font (I believe new times roman?). While that's good for papers and essays, I don't think it gives Little Horses the right feel. It's my suggestion to try and find a more fitting font for Little Horses to make it more visually stimulating :3

Ahah yea, I meant to ask if there was any way we can get a notice of some kind upon logging in, telling us if we have breeding requests waiting our approval?  Something similar to the Blessing notice perhaps.. I found a bunch of breeding requests the other day, and have no clue how long they had been sitting there waiting for me to approve them.  I simply forget to check the breedings tab on a regular basis.

I'm not sure if it went ahead and set him for sale any way or not though, this is the first time I've tried to put a price on one for sale.

Post by: YourLoveOnly on July 29, 2012, 03:33:34 PM
I searched for you, no horses showed up for sale so I don't think it went through.

Also, YLO needed new printer inkt and this one site was selling the kind I needed for super cheap so now I have 90 FB credits as a bonus, yaaay. -buys two stalls-

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: YourLoveOnly on July 29, 2012, 04:41:54 PM
Well it's a Dutch site, so for you it wouldn't be cheap XD But it was 1/3 of the original Epson price for each cartridge and the black one was free for new customers, so I got all 4 (black/cyan/yellow/magenta) for 18 Euros ^^ I got a cheap printer from my family, but its ink is super expensive, normally 12 euros per cartridge >_<

But yaaaay Quinsta stalls now 8D
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on July 29, 2012, 06:42:16 PM
Thank you everyone for your feedback!

I've added two notices to the main Your Place section - a listing of the current server time, and a notice that comes up if you have stud requests waiting.

Kadana - I believe I fixed the problem with putting stallions up for sale.  Would you let me know if you have any further problems with that?

What are your feelings as far as the rate of leveling, the rate of getting gold, the rate of stall availability, prices of store horses, Ethendil's stud fees, etc?   I don't want to make things too easy or too hard and have people get bored...
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: SGA on July 29, 2012, 07:34:46 PM
It works now Silv, but when it updates, it tells me "You set horse's sale's price to 0 gold." when I set the price to 2000 gold.  It did set the correct price though, it just said I set it to 0 for some reason.

Thank you for adding the notices, they will be very helpful :)

As for difficulty, it does seem like I level pretty fast vs how much I have to actually do to gain Xp.  But I chalked that up to being early levels, most games I play on FB do have pretty fast leveling for the first oh, 20 levels or so.  They do it I think, to try and keep you from losing interest too quickly.

So far I have had no complaints on prices of anything.  I did think the backgrounds were kind of cheap, but again that may be because there is only the 2 there.  I'm sure future backgrounds will go up in price.

Oh, and I kinda gulped a bit when I saw the black stally hit the market, looking at his price.  But I didn't mind, just planned to save for him.  However, I did get lucky and have a black stally born before I could get the extra stalls to buy the store one.  I'm debating now whether I want to sell the one I bred to get the first gen form the shop, or wait for new stallions to go for sale.. especially since my bred boy has a wee bit better stats then the shop boy lol

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Solistia on July 30, 2012, 02:51:38 AM
I've actually found it rather hard to level, but that's probably because I blew my first 5000 on a single horse (the flaxen chestnut), so I only have 1 horse and not 3 to collect stuff from >>

I'm about to get my second through a cheap breeding /D (thanks willow!)
I think a good way for me to earn fast cash would be breeding with cheap stallions and selling the babies >> (not the most "moral" way to earn money, but it would work /D;; )
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: YourLoveOnly on July 30, 2012, 03:30:16 AM
*nods* I think earning gold is easier when you have multiple horses because you can breed multiple foals and also put multiple stallions up for stud. I think leveling is harder, but not too hard. I would like it if we got experience when a horse succesfully completes a course (or if you plan on implenting competitions than just getting them from comps would work too). I think gold is much easier than leveling because we also get gold from blessings and I have quite a few Secundians added so it goes quickly =P I would have liked it better if leaving a blessing gave our friend gold but gave us experience, but that seems a bit hard to code.

I think the only thing so far I don't really like is that we can only do one training a day total instead of one training per horse, but if it was one per horse it'd be too easy again I think XD I think once people have lots of horses it would get a bit annoying. Maybe a total of 3 trainings per day and a limit of one per horse?

I also agree with runi, I have friends who loathe game requests and I only wanted to invite like.. 3 or 4 people XD

Other than that I really like it and am excited for more patterns too show up! Dun arabs =D And cream <3

I was also wondering if there is a way to change the order of your horses?

Thank you for the clock/written time as well Silv, that's very helpful :')

And I agree with YLO, I way to order the horses would be good.
And if possible, on the training screen, perhaps it could tell you when you can next train? Much like the due dates etc C:

I've also got my dad playing it xDD
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: YourLoveOnly on July 30, 2012, 05:47:28 AM
Yeees I am very thankful for the clock!

Maybe Soli meant to thank me? I've had lots of requests xD Only one not approved so far because it was related to my stallion, but tons of approved requests!

Now my only really big wish is that we can see our horses' offspring in their pedigree. That'd be super helpful to figure out carried genes. And fun too!

And hopefully also have a way to reorder them but that's the tiny bit of OCD in me talking XD *glares at her mare lining up after the stallions instead of with the other mares* |D

Oh wait, I did have another suggestion. Would it be possible to code it so that leaving blessings and gaining experience from friend visits is done once per in game day instead of every 24 hours (maybe training too)? Right now it looks like exactly 24 hours or more have to have passed before I can do it all again, but there is no notice when you did it last so I have to remember and keep checking back, I think it'd be easier if it was just once per game day regardless of what time.

Hum, I thought it was letting you select which people you wanted to send invites to.  Did it not pop up with the option to select which friends you wanted to send to?  Or did it let you select people, and then sent it to everyone anyway?

In other updates, resets on "once a day" things now go by server day instead of just every 24 hours - this includes training, visiting friend rewards & blessing friends.  Also, now when you leave a blessing for a friend, you yourself gain 3 exp.  I'm going to go work on the view kids pedigree option.

Ok, what does the invite message say, and what does the page look like?   I've got a thank you message hard-coded into the page that shows whether invites were really sent or not.  I'm thinking probably invites weren't really sent out.  What browser are you using?

Using IE.

Ok, I'm about 99% sure the invite never went out.  I'll test around and see if I can figure it out.

Edit:  Hum, try as I might, I'm not able to replicate the problem.  I've tried Chrome, IE and Firefox, in both secure & non-secure, but in all cases the selection box pops up how it should.

YLO & runi, could you two maybe check with a friend or two and see if the invite really went out or not?

It did let me send an invite to just one person, a few days ago.  I remember I sent one to my mom, and having to search for her user icon amidst all my other friends.  She's always a bit hard to find.

Not that she accepted yet heh lol but it did let me pick who to send to.

Retried it because I was curious, same issue. Still not sure if it sent out the invites, but it says it did.

Oh Silv, I've been meaning to ask. Is this Little Horses still gonna use TheStable genetics, rather than branching out and using new found horse genetics? (like the Varnish, Pearl, and Champagne genes?)

I would just like to brag that my mare is a superstar at training :D She just scored a perfect 100 point in Riding Lv 2 <3

Silv: In training, it refers to the horses as "quin" still (ie. "Quin is taught to work cattle"). That might be confusing to people who are not familiar with Quin as an adoptable. Like, who's Quin and why is he working cattle? XD

Hey Silv, should offspring be able to breed to their parents? (I was dinking around and tried to breed an already pregnant mare which didn't work <3, then I bred a mother to a son that did work XD)

And also a question on the stats (the ones that you click for gold and xp). When you click on them, does the one hour per tick reset, or does the time continue based on the when the last tick came onto the bar?

Same problem as PM.  I came home from work and logged in to tend my horses (and purchase another stall lol)  and it all went fine.  But then I got a FB pop up informing me someone Kourtney sent me a request in Little Horses.  SO I clicked refresh on my browser to reload the game so I could see the request.  It didn't load properly, and I got a mess of code or such.  I took a screeny lol I should have checked here first to see if it had happened to anyone else.  But since I took it already, you can have it lol

Post by: Ravvana on August 01, 2012, 05:14:30 PM
I was checking out the new "view offspring" button... and realized that even sold-to-system horses are still appearing. This is extremely awkward for me since I've been breeding both my mares to my one stallion, growing the foals to check out the different coat shades and to perform all the EXP-earning actions, and then selling the adult "foals." And it has just occurred to me that my stallion is related to both of my mares x_X;; I hadn't thought to check inbreeding since I thought all the sold-to-system horses would be zapped from the system without a trace as I've seen in other games. So now my very favorite mare has all these little inbred foals running around in her pedigree and it's making me want to sell her, but she's already done so well in training all the way through pre-jumping ._. Boo.

Sorry for the long rant, but I guess my question is -- are the sold-to-system horses supposed to remain in offspring lists? They all show up as being owned by Ethendil even though he obviously doesn't own them. I can see them needing to stay if they have offspring of their own, but if they are childless, what's the benefit of them sticking around off in cyberspace and taking up room?

edit: And if the intention and coding are correct there, would it be possible for the "Name Me"s to be somehow removed from at least Amira's pedigree? ._x I'll just sell Debbani since the inbreeding bugs me, but I hate to start training over if I buy a new Amira from the store. I fell like such a dolt for not realizing ahead of time. Although, to be fair, the "view offspring" option is new since I started.

Post by: Silvanon on August 01, 2012, 05:43:34 PM
Ah, no, I did not intend for sold-to-system horses to stick around on the pedigrees, I just didn't realize they'd be showing up.  Shall go do something about that now...

Post by: red_uni387 on August 01, 2012, 05:48:35 PM
Well glad to know I'm not the only one who has been doing that XD It bothered me too, so I switched to just selling the foals without caring for them first lol

QuoteParse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/silvan/LHCode/Owner.php on line 483

EDIT: The error went away after I reloaded twice. However, now I'm unable to level up: "Level: 9 Experience: 4523 / 4500." 4523 > 4500 so I should be at Lv 10. Not sure if this is related to the above error message.

YLO, I'm at a loss on you, I can't seem to replicate the problem so that makes it really hard to fix.  :/  If I figure anything out I'll certainly let you know.

Edit:  YLO - I've added a clickable link to the invite page for incase the invite dialog box doesn't come up.  Would you click that and let me know if that gives you the dialog to select people to invite?  If that works for you I can set up something similar for the FBC purchases & other dialogs you might not be seeing.

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: YourLoveOnly on August 03, 2012, 05:42:58 PM
The clickeable link for inviting works, yay!

And when I try purchasing a stall with FB credits through the Store it gives me a blank white page after clicking Buy for 16 FBC. I do have enough credits. Clicking the button on my row of horses doesn't work either, it just leads me to the store and lets me click that button only to load the blank white page again |D
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: YourLoveOnly on August 03, 2012, 05:46:51 PM
I am mainly confused that it DID work before, I have purchased a couple stalls before XD And I have no idea why it is not working anymore XD But thank you, that'd be much appreciated!
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on August 03, 2012, 05:52:08 PM
Yeah, that really is confusing and frustrating.  It'd all probably be easier if I were more familiar with Javascript, but I'm not.  Anyway, the FBC purchase link is there and from my end appears to be working now.

Edit: While we're at it, YLO, are you seeing the dialogs to send requests to friends when you're handing out blessings?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: YourLoveOnly on August 03, 2012, 05:57:37 PM
Yaaaay I have my stall! And now I only have one lousy credit left XD
And nope, am not seeing dialogs when sending blessings, just black text on a white background saying I left a blessing and gained 3 EXP.

Also, everyone, I have a 3rd gen black stallion for sale with 7 Calmness! If he hasn't sold in about 12 hours I am selling him to the system instead <3

I found the bug that caused this, and red I've PMed you about your money.


Aralie - the ride & drive interactions are going to require that you have tack or a cart respectively before they'll work, in addition to have a horse trained for them.  Since I haven't got the equipment added to the system yet, the interactions aren't available yet.

I don't know why, but the game is incredibly slow tonight. Each page takes around 30-40 seconds to load, and when this load time is for every one of my (two pages of) friends, it gets annoying. My internet is working up to speed on all other websites and games, so it seems to be a LH problem.

Hmm, it would be lovely in the future to have other places to visit.
I seem to have gotten into the routine of - Feed Horses, Train, See if Tack is in store, Leave.

Perhaps a "Paddock", where you might find an apple, which will feed a horse, or you could stumble upon some gold, maybe even EXP?

And other items that could be implemented, like feed, or a salt lick, a ball etc to affect the horses's stats while your away? :3

But they're just little thoughts. ^u^
I'm really looking forward to other breeds, and the riding/driving interaction. <3
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Solistia on August 08, 2012, 11:18:05 AM
@Pink, there is a very easy way to rack up money actually. Breeding.
It goes like this: Have at least 1 female and 1 male horse (if no male, find a cheap 200gold stud and breed until you get your own male). Breed every day. Use one of your slots as the "revolving door". After a horse has been groomed, stall mucked, etc, Sell it for 800. Then grow the new foal into that slot and collect gold+xp. If you have multiple foals, grow foal, collect gold/xp, then sell and grow the others in the same manner.

For this technique, you should have only 1 male and the rest female for the best rate of earning money.

This however causes loads of inbreeding, but it's very effective at earning money.

My plan is to rack up gold now so I can be picky later on when more breeds are introduced and sell off my inbred spawn |D <3

Red - ok, thanks for the report.  Turns out I'd coded to stop you selling to other people when there's a breeding pending, but had forgot to add it to the sell to system code.  That should be fixed now.  In the meantime, for your foal, I think it'll let you birth the foal, but if not then let me know the names of the parents for the breeding in question and I'll take care of it manually.

Daimas it does that to me as well, and I do think it is clicking too fast.  I have taken now to 1. click through all stats on all horses. 2. start over at first horse and click each horse.  then if I see any bars that didn't "take" I can re-click them.

Usually it isn't a problem, but sometimes I do get lag and the text saying how much gold and xp I got for clicking a bar doesn't show before I have clicked the next bar.  I "think" this is when I/We get this happening.

-nods- Same thing here, even if it sometimes says (for example) you watered your horse, when I make my second round that bar is still red. So I don't think it's lag either, just a bug that sometimes doesn't make it register as clicked. I have to go to most of my horses 3 times to have all the bars filled, it honestly is starting to get a bit annoying with the amount I have :P

I've not noticed having to re-fill the bars straight away but then I don't usually go back to check. I noticed that if I click a bar too quickly after the last one, it says "your horse doesn't need that right now" so I try to go slowly and give it time to load the text at the bottom after every bar.

Gypsy Vanners are now available in the game store. :)   Also, everything that has a FBC price, you should now be able to actually buy it with FBC (no more "coming soon" notes).

Eeeee roan!! :D Thanks Silv!!

Does breeding work the same way; grades for 3 generations then a chance at a purebred?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on August 11, 2012, 07:20:05 PM
Yes, it works the same way with grade-to-pure breedings.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it - for Little Horses (and PI Quinsta) there's no lethal white coded in, so it's fine to breed white/white & overo/overo.

Do we have to breed /all/ genes into Arabs? @_@ Or will the genes that Arabs originally had, like dun and overo, still be added to the store?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Ravvana on August 12, 2012, 06:19:24 PM
I bought the red roan and dun overo mares :) I need more stalls XD;

edit: Is there a way to give us more options for earning FB credits? I honestly don't know if that's something you can control, but most of the "free" offers on LH involve signing up for a paid service. Other games have things like surveys, videos, etc. I already watched the few videos for LH so now I'm out of ways to earn credits without getting a subscription to something or other.

How do you earn credits without buying them? o___o I can't find any offers or anything, except for one thing that would involve giving them a credit card number >__>

Post by: Ravvana on August 12, 2012, 06:34:10 PM
In the teeny tiny box at the bottom right of the LH window -- just a few watch-a-video offers for about 2 credit each. The rest require signing up for stuff.

Is anyone interested in roan arabs? I accidently bred my vanner girl to an arab before checking if there were vanner studs and ended up with a flaxen roan grade :) I was planning on just selling him, but if there is interest then I will continue the project.

Post by: Kadana Sorano on August 12, 2012, 10:52:37 PM
Red, I might be, depending on color/availability in my stalls when you get there.

Rav, the movies you watch change out, you "should" get atleast one new one a week if it goes as other games I play.  Sometimes more, sometimes less, but on average atleast one a week.  MY problem is, so often those movies load to a black screen for me, so I miss the weeks credit.  But I have a lot of other games and can get credits form surveys and such through them, so it doesn't bug me much.

You know you can do surveys via other games, get credits, then spend them on LH?  You don;t have to spend them on the game you acquired them through.

Also, if you guys haven't heard yet, 4Loot is good for earning coins.  It's kinda slow though, as you have to earn so many 4Loot coins, then exchange these for FB credits.  But I have been using them for a while, and can vouch for them, they do work and you get your FB credits within 24 hours of turning in your 4Loot coins.  And you aren't required to purchase anything, though I think you can..

Actually the full sized versions have the same proportions to each other.  Gypsy Vanners are actually quite small horses, for the most part.

One random question tho...

Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?
Post by: Silvanon on August 14, 2012, 06:10:31 PM
Rav, the database indicated that you actually sold that foal rather than growing him.  However, your report made me realize I want a verification question to make sure people really want to sell their foals.  So in thanks I manually grew him and gave him back to you.


Edit:  I've also made it so you should be prompted to send a FB request when you submit a breeding request to someone (in case you want to give them FB notification of the breed).

Is there any other time when you wish you could have the option of giving people a FB request about something?

Rav thats awesome! I need to add you on FB so I can follow your breeding fun. I bred all the store gypsy mares to the store gypsy stud and ended up with three keepers (plus a couple others that I should have kept but sold for the monies) I now have a red flaxen dun mare, a    Flaxen Chestnut Leopard Appaloosa Tobiano stud, and a grey tobiano stud. I bred them all back (tried to avoid inbreeding but I failed at doing that with one of my guys because I didnt realize his leopardy self came out of the white mare I bought from the store.

If he had cream he'd be a palomino or double cream, a cremello.
Silv said earlier in the thread that there are different shades of each colour templated (which is why there are some darker chesnuts, and some lighter). So he's just a lighter template C:

So...I don't know if I have horrible luck, or if the percentages and chances of breeding grade to pure is different in Little Horses from Quinsta, but I have two 6th gen grades trying to breed a pure in 7th gen (98.5 arabian/1.5 gypsy), but have yet to yield a single pure in all my breedings, and I breed most every day.

So my question is, once you reach a certain percentage, is it still a 50/50 chance to breed pure in Little Horses like Quinsta, or are the odds dramatically increased to breed pure?
Title: Re: Facebook game derived from Quinsta - suggestions?

Not sure if this was set up deliberately, or if its just a FB type glitch, but whenever I try to copy/paste text on the game, the game freezes up and I have to reload the page.  Not a huge deal, I just need to train myself to type stuff out to my notes instead.  Just thought I'd mention it anyway, in case it's somethign you would want to know.

Also, there is a video you can watch to earn fb credits, and it won;t load.  It's always available to watch (at least I think its the same video there, not sure of course since I can;t see it heh)  Would you have any idea who I need to poke to get that fixed?  I know you can do nothing about those, just wondering if anyone knows anywhere I should report it or such.

Your horse has been equipped with new tack! You may need to refresh to see the change. Go to Horse Page

Thanks for the report Kadana.  I think I have it fixed now.

OK it says it's equipped to her but it isn't actually showing up on her.  I tried removing it, and putting it back on again, received no errors, but the tack still doesn't actually show on the horse image, even though it says it's equipped.  I also tried refreshing the game, but that didn't fix it.

Kadana - It was a one-time issue with your particular mare caused by the failed redraw earlier.  I've fixed her for you now. :)

Ohh thanks *goes to see*

ETA: it looks awesome Silv!  I admit when I first saw the blanket was blue I was hoping for a color change option, cause it's not a fav of mine.  But it looks amazing on my white horses, so I am completely happy.  And the tack itself looks great, thank you for the work you've done :D

And now Merlin has his tack as well :)

And this, is the first time I've smiled and meant it, in over 8 hours lol

I'm really glad to hear you like it so well.  I'll definitely be adding more color options, as well as different types of tack, down the road.  But first I want to get the basic features up and going, and that meant I needed at least ~an~ option of tack so the riding action can get going.  Still got to finish coding that up, but it's coming along.

Sweet :0  Though I'll prolly keep Avalon and Merlins blue, it does look so good on them.  Assuming I keep Avalon and Merlin heh  I want to, but I have a bunch of foals waiting to grow, and a distinct lack of space.  I've been debating about which (if any) of my current horses to let go for space.  In the meantime, I'm hitting up every avenue I can to try and earn more FB credits rofl

I am very very happy, that we don;t have to limit our Secundi Quin by stable space, I have a newfound appreciation for this all over again now lol

Ohh and I got a few of my non Secundi friends to try the game out as well, not sure if they will migrate over here or not though.

Ok, I need some people who've trained their horses to ride and have tack equipped to them to try out the ride action.  :)

It should show you a picture of where you go riding when you click it.

Ahh sorry Silv!  I just woke and went to tend my horses and was clicking too fast :(  I didn't realize the ride slot was available to click/ just clicked them all and clicked away.  The page did start to load what looked like leaves/tree tops? at the top of the page, before it changed to my next horse.  I'll be sure to check when I return to them later.

I have a mare that isn't listed as pregnant, and I don;t think she has a breeding request pending, but she isn't showing up on the drop down to breed with when I go to my studs.  It's my grade mare FCRLA.

ETA: Gah never mind me, I forgot I put her up for sale lol

Would be great if you could see if the other person has approved your breedings, cause atm i have 4 breedings with someones studs, but dont know when due date or anything is.

If you go to your mares page, at the bottom of the little window where you click on her bars, under there it will say when she is due.  If there is nothing there stating when the mare is due, then the breeding has not yet been approved.

Hey Silv, I have an issue/glitch with my friends list in game. 

I have 29 friends in game (counting Ethendil), and Lucien was always last on the list.  This morning I notice his name/icon moved forward on the list  bit, didn;t think much of it, clicked and visted him.  But when I got to the end of the list, he was still at the end as well.  Out of curiosity I clicked the second image for him to visit him again, and it did not give me the bonus for visiting him a second time.  So that's fine anyway.

But the real problem is 1. I don;t think he should have been duplicated on my list (?) and 2. The spot he got duplicated into used to be a different friend, who is ow missing (and sadly I don;t know who the friend was heh sorry ).

So, I still have 29 friends spaces filled on my friends list, but in actualality only 28 friends.  One went missing, and one was duplicated.

Hey Silv.

I've tried in 5 or 6 days now, to breed an arabian offspring from a grade, to get an arabian that has roan tobiano, but ALL of the offsprings only turn out grade, am i doing something wrong?
- Have i misunderstood something or is it not possible yet?

I think the grade should be able to produce pure arab, but not too sure?

Sleepy error postings.. I just received this when sharing a pic of Avalon

QuoteFatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: (#1) An unknown error occurred thrown in /home/silvan/LHCode/base_facebook.php on line 1033

I refreshed the page and tried again, and it worked OK though, so not sure what happened there.
