Moving Creatures

Post by CinnaminDraconna »

When we use the Move Creatures button we get several options..

Frozen/Unfrozen
Male/Female/Ungendered
Named/Unnamed
Egg/Hatchling/Adult
Lineaged/Unlineaged
Has Parents/No Parents

I'd like to request a new option.. No Offspring/Has Offspring

Can this be done?

Sometimes you need to find a creature with particular traits.. for trading, breeding, lineages, whatever. But there is no easy way to sort out creatures that have or don't have offspring, without opening up each and every creatures view page. You can see offspring if you're on the breeding page, but not if you're trying to find a creature that's never been bred for a trade.

I'd love to be able to see this on a Keep page, but I don't know how hard that would be to code. So I thought it might be possible to do this on the Move Creatures page. You can't see if a creature is parentless or bred on a Keep page either, so I would think has offspring/no offspring might be doable too.

As a second request, can you think of a way to sort creatures by Element, using the Move Creatures page?

If you know the Element of the creature you are looking for it's one thing, just move those creatures using the species dropdown. But we have a LOT of creatures, with a LOT of different Elements and I don't know about anyone else, but I doubt I'll ever be able to remember every creatures Element. So it would be nice if we could move all Fire creatures from tab A to tab B, without having to do it one species at a time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know you're working on a lot of things right now, so I don't expect instant gratification, lol. Just wanted to get the idea out there so you could be thinking about it. Who knows, maybe you'll figure it out while thinking about something else.. you never know when inspriration will hit.

What I'd also like, whenever there's a breather, is the ability to custom sort by species, instead of dragging on one creature at a time. I'd like every tab of mine to have my favorite sprites of the type at the top, least favorite at the bottom, but it's a chore to drag each individual creature around. Especially if you move new creatures into that tab and they just go wherever they feel like because it's not set to default sort. I'm sure that's very hard to do, and maybe impossible, but just would like to see it, if possible.
