custom pet update

I ended up with some horrid flu, that took a few days of my time to get through. I guess its the season for it :P

Anyhow, custom breeds is coming along. so far whats been done:

1. all of the hardcoded breed characteristics in the script have been placed into the database.

2. the code has been cleaned up substantially, to make for something easier to read and modify.

what now needs to be done:
1. the custom tool is essentially a 'wizard'. that is, you choose a few items at a time to build your dog.

so I'm in the process of designing a flexible wizard that will allow us to add NEW custom breeds with ease.
a rudimentary wizard has been implemented and works, but for testing , and formatting.

2. I will need to clean up the dog rendering engine as well to better work with the new tool (this part will be less work I suspect, b/c it can just take the output of the custom tool)

3. start contacting artists to come on back and help design some more breeds / features for our puppies!
ETA:

probably just a couple days more. I was mostly done with this before I got the nightmare bug.

onwards to custom pets!

The main system functions have been done

before I integrate the live and test functions, I'm going to put a little time in on the game functions!

with that in mind, I'm going to make a swing at cleaning up custom pets

this is going to be a work in progress, as its quite complex.

However, we can make some progress on it , so new breeds can be designed, and new colors / patterns on existing ones!
