Demo help

My question is simple: How does the puppy predictor work?
I've been trying for a bunch of time and yet I never manage to get it to work at all. Or is it like... disabled?

Thank you in advance

Which part of it is givin' ya trouble? One of the least intuitive things about it that sorely needs attention is that if you change anything about your wolves, say their sex, any markings, etc, and then try to save them to use for the predictor, they will come up as "Custom" rather than their name, and then they will NOT interact honestly with the generational checker that tells you if two given wolves can breed or not.
The only workaround available to check same-sex pairings is finding an opposite-sexed offspring of theirs to check in their stead, if at all possible, or to check the relatedness of THEIR parents and the parents of the other dog you want to breed them to. Extremely tedious!

If that isn't the problem, and it's more of a website-not-loading correctly issue, it may be a great idea to make a bug report that details as much of the issue as possible. Fixes don't happen terribly often here, but it can help document ongoing issues and if it's something possibly caused by a specific device or browser, other people may be able to help you troubleshoot that better as well.

Honestly, the easiest and quickest way to predict puppies for two existing wovles is just to load a fresh demo page, copy and paste Parent A's ID and click "Save Current" under the Saved Designs widget. Then, copy and paste Parent B's ID and save it as well. Now, you can click both wolves under the Saved Designs by clicking the "Preview Custom" button under their names. If they're compatible, it'll show you potential offspring. If they're too closely related, it won't show any puppies and will give you a message stating as much.

If you try to copy and paste too many IDs or flip through different saved wolves, it'll eventually stop showing puppies or will refuse to put in the new parents into the preview window. You have to reload the demo regularly to ensure your puppy predictor is working correctly. And as Reave stated above, if you change ANYTHING about the parents (colors, markings, breed, etc.) it'll "break" them and will consider them a custom wolf instead of an existing one. Just paste their IDs and don't change any of the preview settings.

Oooh, so that's how it works. I wasn't really understanding why it didn't work and it might be because I saved customs and not the actual wolves huh. Thank you a lot! I had trouble figuring it out on my own ;)

My god with all of the wolves being closely related at this point, even after I bought them at different times (A huge timeskip kinda thing :/ )
