BE's are getting some love lately!
So this is another feature than many, many BE's have emailed and posted about. I have added DNA display and sorting in the search listing to www.swgcreatures.com
You can now display DNA sample data in the search listing. The DNA data that is displayed per creature is the average of the highest quality samples for that creature. For example, if a rancor has 3 HQ samples and 2 Average samples entered, what you would see displayed is the average of the 3 HQ samples in each category (Hardiness, Fortitude, etc). There is also a field to tell you what quality the average samples come from.
This also allows you to sort on DNA categories (Hardines, Fortitude, etc). This is something I think many of you will find very useful.
You will have to enable the output of DNA data to the search listing. In order to do so, you must make the selection in your user profile on the site, which in turn requires that you be registered.
Here's an example of what you will see when you have enabled DNA sample output:
One other thing, enabling the DNA sample output will cause your searches to be somewhat slower. Page loading will be a bit longer. This is due to the added complexity of gathering the DNA averages and such for display. So just an FYI!
As always, be sure to let me know about any bugs you happen across!
Enjoy!

Any chance you could add a "Baby Rarity" toggle thingo so we could track the rarity of certain babies? Some are obvious (Bull Rancors, Screechers) but a lot aren't.

I'm thinking the best way to handle rarity is to just leave up a 'rating' system that anyone can vote on. Then the score of the creature will determine it's rarity.
Unfortunately, rarity is in the eye of the beholder. For someone who never journey's to Endor, mereks may seem pretty rare. But for folks who practically live on Endor, they see them all the time.
Of course, there are some that are no brainers. Such as bull rancor, some mantigrue's, etc.
I'm still debating the best way to handle this aspect!
FormlessOne- Yeah, I've been having a nagging bug having to do with email that keeps generating that error. I'm still trying to figure it out =/ Fortunately it doesn't keep you from still utilizing the site!
