Site Update
This is an incredibly important news post and we recommend that every single user read this thoroughly.
It may have appeared that some things in the coding realm slowed down or stopped, but we've been working very hard behind the scenes to fix a problem that popped up and was a severe priority to fix.
As such, everything you've ever known about how offspring & custom PSD files work on our site has changed.
G1 CUSTOMS:
- Do not email in any PSD files anymore.
- To upload a custom PSD, visit its pet page, click the 'edit pet' button, and upload the PSD file directly.
- You can only upload a PSD for a G1.
- When a PSD file is uploaded for a custom, a little icon will appear when viewing your customs in your lair to tell you that a PSD exists for the custom.
- Please be aware that if a custom has a PSD uploaded, and you upload a new PSD for that custom, the previous version will be deleted.
- When a PSD is uploaded, it is automatically available in breedings for breeding artists and follows the pet if sold so that the new owner can download the PSD.
What if I sent my custom PSD into the email but it doesn't show as having a PSD uploaded?
- Due to how this was coded, the little banner icon will only appear for newly uploaded PSD files. Not previously uploaded PSD files.
- If you have the PSD on hand for your custom, please just re-upload it via the site. Do not request it from us.
- If you don't have your custom PSD, and you're pretty sure you emailed it in, you can use the new PSD fetch thread linked below to have the PSD file attached to your pet.
OFFSPRING (G2+ CUSTOMS):
- Do not email in any PSD files anymore.
- Site babies hatching from here on out should be automatically linked to their PSD files.
- You can download the PSD file, if you're the owner, by visiting the offspring's pet page.
- User predictions now allow PSD files to be attached when submitting the prediction. We recommend doing so as adding a PSD to the pet after the fact will not be possible.
What about G2+ Customs from before this change?
- PSD fetch thread has been overhauled.
- You can post up to 10 pets at a time now in the thread.
- If a PSD exists in our drive, we will attach the PSD to the pet on site.
- If you have a G2+ pet that did not have its PSD sent into the email, DO NOT SEND IN AN EMAIL. We will most likely open a thread at a later date for this exact situation. In the meantime, just link the PSD in the breeding notes for any breedings like before.
Some Notes:
- PSD preview images will not always generate immediately. You may need to refresh the page a few times or wait a few minutes before refreshing.
- The PSD preview image may look odd. Whether that be a black background, white background, slightly funky, or what not. That doesn't mean your PSD uploaded wrong. It just depends on how google drive reads the PSD file to generate the preview image.
- Does it matter what you name your PSD file? Nope! Our server renames all files according to the specifications we require so it doesn't matter what you personally name your files.

What if we have a G2 and the site doesn't have the PSD but we do?

is there any way to have an option to remove that psd file icon from pet images? i noticed them the other night when looking through my lair, and i personally think it looks pretty weird (i know it doesnt show up in the pet page itself but for aesthetics sake, really?). would this be a feasible option, or no? it's fine if not, i understand, but just asking since i dont like the little PS icon in the corners of my lil pets when wandering through my lair. another question, will site pets ever receive these benefits as well in the future? maybe a new mod position or something, to go through and add site pet psds? that might be super complicated though, so i wouldnt expect it, but itd be much nicer to get the psds for predicts and stuff (unless theres already a better way that i just?? have never come across?? because im dumb and im sorry). possible suggestion: instead of linking site pet psds to every site pet, putting them in the aywapedia? just an idea to consider for the future perhaps? idk what you all still have planned!! ouo this is a really nice update, though, for keeping much better track of psds!! :O

Ah yes! Going to take a while to get them all in but this is great. I was wondering why I could no longer see who my pbc breedings were assigned too at the standing stones like the last few, but since psds will be attached I'm assuming it was unecessary?

Awesome update! <3 I was already using the upload option before the newspost as soon as I saw it and it worked great (except for my slooow internet connection). I'm pretty sure that the points currently not being incorporated into this update will be at some point, so for now, I think the progress made with this is already pretty fantastic! :D

Nhotemau (#175) - It's been advised to keep backups in case something happens and the files here are lost.

I think you asked this, but I'll be updating the psd fetch thread when I go through fetch still, so you should be able to subscribe to that or be added to the ping list (or check weekly, I try to go through fetch on saturdays) to see if your psds have been attached.

That's what a new thread will be made for, for now you will need to just link that psd in the Breeding notes if you breed that pet.

Thanks for the update! I noticed the button for it when I was editing one of my Snoodles pages. I hope this way will make it easier for a lot of people! :3 - Lunch
