Creating a breedable from scratch

[LunaRavencroft]

We've all seen breedables, rather they be KittyCats, dragons, quails, fennuxes, fawns, horses, and the SL gods only know what else, but I've been looking to learn how to create my own breedables, from scratch. I've tried finding tutorials and things, but have found none. Can anyone help me? It would be greatly appreciated.

For years, the tutorial that people went to was Ferd Frederick's, which I see has been moved to http://www.fennux.com/tutorials/start .  You might also look at http://www.outworldz.com/secondlife/posts/breedable-pet-robot/ .

My only personal experience with creating breedables is many years out of date now.  If it helps, though, I recall that the client I was doing work for eventually got totally disgusted with the external hosting for his breedables and gave it up completely.  Creating the breedables, it seems, was only the start of the challenges.

Oh I see. Thank you for the assistance. And, yeah, I bet, it's probably really expensive to try to host something like them.

Well, it depends on what exacly you want to host There are cheap and cheerful options - if the amount of info/data needed is small (and either not needed 24hrs or you can spare a seperate home box) then self hosting is a place to start at least when developing (no ip springs to mind with one of the setup LAMP/WAMP packages or something a bit more up to date off top of my head)

Web wise, theres loads of free for moderate use to play around with.

If it takes off then you need a plan to migrate to something with more oomph - whole other story.

A little dated but a great start.

The source code is here: http://www.free-lsl-scripts.com/freescripts.plx?ID=1601

They changed the site so you have to look for it on the index now.

I made a breedable tentacle alien pet but never had time to push it. They really need dedicated sales and support to work.

That is what I am doing right now in Second LIfe!!  I have built the Quails, the Robots, and a couple of my own pets, based on minecraft, called MegaPixels.  I am working on getting kinks out, and trying to figure out how to "better" they system.  I want to use different textures, which is not feasible with that current script, as they "HAVE" to go into a cryocrate, and then it has to be that specific same pet.  Which means, a seperate cryocrate for each type of animal, different textures etc.  

I do notice most breedable creators in SL, do keep their pets "LIVE" nowadays.  So I will probably need to fix my script to be able to do that!  

I love the project though, Ive raised a lot of breedables in Second Life, and now onto being a creator with my own line, and learning!!
