Happy Thursday everyone! Some new additions and important fixes. :)

Obviously, we have a new custom script! For a minimum of 10 bones, you can create a custom, immortal dog. These can compete up to 20 years of age, cannot die, and can be bred forever! They are foundation dogs, and they come with their own extra dog slot. The link is under the "Life" dropdown. These dogs will begin aging and getting hungry hopefully later tonight. There was a bug with custom Puppies because those darn dogs have special ears, but I believe it was fixed.

Breeding fixes: stud fees weren't being sent through, and reject requests weren't working. Both have been fixed, and two new mini-features added: the bitch's owner can now cancel the request via the stud's request page, and a link has been added to "view stud requests" on every dog's page.. and while typing this, I realized the females have the link as well, and as soon as I'm done backing everything up, I'll change it so it only shows up on male dog's page. :P

User records have been added to the bottom of all user profiles, but players cannot see mod's activity, because it holds their moderator activity so we can track them and keep them from becoming corrupt. >D It displays last 30 activities, regardless of the day it was done on. Trial judging notifications have been turned off via messages due to spamminess (and because Dae told me to!) and instead are in your user records, and the dog's log.

Speaking of Dae, she has been granted database access, and is prowling the forums to help fix tons of bugs. Yay Dae!

We've finally found a Flash commissioner I am comfortable with, and I have picked 4 games to commission, hopefully will be done ASAP! The games chosen are a secret though, you'll have to wait and see. ;)

I believe it's safe to say auctions are done malfunctioning. I also made it so you can see exactly WHO is trying to IM you with the IM alerts. We're getting a referral banner too! Yay Hel! Some people are panicking because their dogs look different- long story short, this was a bug fixed. The layering order of dog images should have been white marking, with secondaries on top, but it was white marking on top of secondaries. It was fixed, and dogs /will/ stay the way they are now. I do apologize for the inconvenience, but this opens up for thousands more dog possibilities with coats and markings, and was how it was always intended to be.

A few more important fixes to be done today: make it so when dogs die, the backgrounds/companions/accessories are returned to your inventory, manually return all the aforementioned items to their owner's inventories.. and I forgot the rest while typing this out.

:/ I wish you hadn't changed the orders seeing as now all my dogs look awkward and faded now.

There was a bug with dogs being auctioned that made any accessories/backgrounds/companions equip float around in cyberspace with no owners. I have had to unequip ALL backgrounds/accessories/companions, and have disabled it for about an hour or two while I fix this bug. I do apologize for the inconvenience. [EDIT: fixed!]

I seem to be missing my black looking up duck that was attached to my dog. It was attached before the reset, and now its gone.

Bone bug, pup predictor, and auctions!

Good news first! Auctions have been revamped to include minimum increments, bid in money and/or bones (you set your preference when creating an auction and how much a bone is worth in Alacrity dollars), and auto buys for dollar and bone amounts.

Second of all a pup predictor tool has been created to aid you in decided which doggies to breed. The link has been stickied to the new "breeding" forum. The breeding script was having some timing out issues due to never-endingly searching for a certain image for a coat/marking/etc. but it has been fixed and tested by hundreds of people and over a few days now. :)

The bad news! Some auctions just a few minutes ago went wonky. Was handing out bone values instead of money values. It's been fixed, so if you had a message in your inbox about selling an item for bones, it was really for money. The 40k+ bones were taken away and the bug has been fixed.

I haven't slept for 29 hours now and am hoping to accomplish more before the night is over. <3

We love your hard work and dedication, but for health reasons, you should take a 1-2 hour nap. it does wonders for your health when you're staying up for many hours. ^_^ Plus its more energizing than 2 big energy drinks.

I'll get a pup, but I will wait till more breeds are created :] Love the idea <3
