Bird Sanctuary & Henny Pennies!

Filed Under : Barnyard Bird Information,Bird Sanctuary by Josie

Mar.18,2019

Howdy and Happy Monday! I hope you all had an amazing weekend! Today I wanted to take a moment to cover Bird Sanctuary! Amaretto Ranch Breedables offers a unique point system for birds or ducks that you no longer wish to keep. Basically all your Barnyard Birds and Ducks have a point value in Bird Sanctuary. The number of points differs based on age and traits. You can bring up the menu on any bird or duck that you own, choose settings, click on Bird Sanctuary and then confirm sending your bird to Sanctuary. Before you do that though you will see the point value of that bird and a notice that once a bird has been sent to Sanctuary it cannot be reversed. You have to confirm to send a Bird to Sanctuary, therefore it cannot be reversed. So make very sure this is something you really want to do. Even if it’s done by mistake it cannot be undone. So please be careful!

How to Use your Henny Pennies: Simply go to the any of our store locations http://amarettobreedables.com/pages/locations and find the Bird Sanctuary Vendor, Click the start button on the bottom right of the vendor. Your current amount of Henny Pennies will be displayed in local chat. After clicking the Start button and reviewing your Henny Penny balance you have 60 seconds of reserved time to make a selection from the vendor. Once you have made your selection you will need to agree to spending that many points on that item. If you agree you will then receive your item from the vendor and the Henny Pennies will be deducted from your Bird Sanctuary account. To make another purchase simply do it again.

The Bird Sanctuary Henny Pennies Reward system will Reward you for your Barnyard Birds in the following way:

Starter breed = 100 Henny Pennies
Hidden breed = 200 Henny Pennies
Starter eye = 100 Henny Pennies
Hidden eye = 200 Henny Pennies
Beak Color = 100 Henny Pennies
Beak Design = 100 Henny Pennies
Beak Flaw = 100 Henny Pennies
Leg Color = 100 Henny Pennies
Hidden classes = 100 Henny Pennies
Every cycle lost = 100 Henny Pennies
Shade = 100 Henny Pennies
Glaze = 100 Henny Pennies
Brillance = 100 Henny Pennies

ALL ITEMS ARE NO TRANSFER

Here we have the costs in Henny Pennies for the items Currently Available from the vendor (all items are subject to change without notice including prices and availability):

Barnyard Bird Flu Shot Single (Boxed) 8,000 Henny Pennies
Pet Pellets Six (Boxed) 18,000 Henny Pennies

TAF Classifieds

Filed Under : Amaretto Announcements,Amaretto Groups Info,Miscellaneous by Bastian Hax

Hey Everyone!

Markus and I have been super busy (yet again) 😛

A few weeks back we did a connection on The Amaretto Family website and explained about its features, well that website really laid the groundwork for this new website we are showing you today (they are joined, you can login with your TAF Account, or create a new one).

But first let me explain that these sites are in no way run by Amaretto, but by myself and Markus. We are sharing this with you thanks to Josie for giving us permission to do.

https://www.theamarettofamily.xyz/

TAF Classifieds is a new way to advertise your animals that you are selling, it is similar in some regards to other website platforms out there already available but it does have some interesting features that we hope you will check out!

It lets everyone post adverts for free!

PS we plan to add more features in the coming months!

For more in-depth information on the features of the website you can check out this article here: https://www.theamarettofamily.xyz/index.php?/forums/topic/4-website-features/

Paradise Puppies!!

Filed Under : K9 - Puppy Paradise,K9 Information by snookiegirl Resident

Mar.16,2019

Happy Saturday everyone! Did you know that Amaretto Breedables offers a reward system called Puppy Paradise. When you send your K-9 to Puppy Paradise you will receive a number of points based on the number of traits and age for a particular K-9. Once you have accumulated enough points, you can use these points to purchase an array of items from the Puppy Paradise Vendor such as Pet Food, Vaccinations and our unique K-9 Paradise Puppies.

Today I want to shine the spotlight on the Paradise Puppies!!

First let’s have a look at the K-9 Paradise Puppy Dalmatian. This puppy comes in random gender and these random coats: Black/White, Liver/White and Rainbow/White Dalmatians. Paradise Puppy Dalmatians are NOT able to pass their coats. However, these unique K-9s have the ability to pass their eyes (depending on the coat you receive).

Next let’s take a look at the Fu K-9’s

The Fu K-9 comes in random gender and these random coats: “Happiness”, “Friendship” and “Prosperity”. The Fu K-9s are NOT able to pass their coats. However, these unique K-9s have the ability to pass their eyes (depending on the coat you receive) Purple Jade, Green Jade and Blue Jade. The Fu K-9s are NOT able to pass their collars.

Next there is the K-9 Paradise Puppy – Hot Dog comes in random gender. Paradise Puppy – Hot Dog are NOT able to pass their coats. However, the Yellow & Mustard eye Does have the ability to pass and the Picnic Collar Does have the ability to pass.

When you breed a Paradise Puppy (whether it is with another Paradise Puppy or any other K-9) you DO have an increased chance at receiving a random Enchanted K-9. The non-Enchanted offspring of Paradise Puppies do NOT have an increased chance of producing Enchanted K-9s.

For a closer look at any of these awesome pups you can check them out here:

Until next time this is Snookie wishing you a great weekend and a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy Breeding!!

No More Hungry Breedables!

Filed Under : Barnyard Bird Information,Horse Information,K9 Information,Ponie Pals Information by Josie

Mar.15,2019

Hiiiii!! Who is ready for the weekend!? I hope it is an awesome one for yall!! Today I wanted to take some time to help with two common questions I see in the Amaretto groups. “Help my breedable isn’t eating?!” or “Help my breedable is sick!?” There are quite a few things you can try to get your breedable eating again but remember if all else fails you can always file a ticket on the Amaretto Support site and have a CSR help you look into it.

Let me start by saying this month’s mystery sale is food! Food is mandatory in keeping your animal’s tummies full! Check it out the blog here http://amarettobreedables.com/blogs/5/172/you-don-t-want-to-miss-this-mystery-sale Now we move on to talk a little about the food for your breedables. The Ponie Pals only have 1 food type, Ponie Pal Grub. You will feed this to your ponies to keep them healthy and able to breed. The Horses, K-9s, Birds, and Ducks all have two different type foods available. Breeder Food is for Horses, K-9’s or Barnyard Birds and Ducks that you want to breed. Pet food is used when you do not wish to breed your animal. If you decide later that you do wish to breed them it will take 7 days of them eating Breeder food for the Pet food to wear off.

Using Food:

1. Rez the Food within your breedables set range. (A breedable’s default range is 5 meters)

2. You can click the Food to change options and see remaining %. Options include Owner only, Group only, and All.

A. Owner only: Will only be consumed by the owners breedable.

B. Group only: Will only be consumed by breedables in the same group as the food/water is set to.

C. All: Any breedable within range of the food/water will be able to consume it.

Once the Food has been completely consumed it will disappear.

amaretto_brand_k-9_breedable_kibble__water

amaretto_brand_k-9_pet_kibble__water

amaretto_brand_barley_bird_diet

pet_pellets

In case your breedable gets hungry try these tips:

1. Re-rez fixes 99% of the issues.

2. If the land is set to a group, are the breedables and food set to that group? Some sims have it set that no scripts can run unless they are set to the right group as the land.

3. If the land isn’t set to a group, then check that the breedables and food are set to the same group as each other. So often the food is in one group and the breedable in another. The food is set to feed only those in the same group and before you know it you have sick breedables

4. For the horses, k-9s and birds, check to see if the breedable is set to the type of food out (You can check this in their More Stats)

5. Re-set home position.

If your Breedable still doesn’t eat after trying this, you will need to file a support ticket. Please include a location URL, so that we can come out and see them, in world. Please make sure that we have permission to come on the land.

Remember if you put a Breedable in your inventory it will get hungry.

For the horses, k-9s, birds and ducks, they will eat once every hour. If food is not present their hunger and thirst will rise until it reaches 100% (or in the case of the Barnyard Birds/Ducks until it reaches 0%) at which time they will get sick, this will take 3 days

For the ponies, they will eat once every 96 minutes. If food (Grub) is not present their Grub will rise until it reaches 100% at which time they will get sick. This can take 5 days.

A Healing Kit for horses, Vaccination for K-9s, Flu Shot for Birds and Ducks, and Ponie Noodle Soup for Ponies can be used to heal your breedable.

The horses, k-9s and birds, will eat their way out of sickness. Horses and K-9s take approximately 3 days and Barnyard Birds take 4 days.

To use a Healing kit, Vaccination, Flu shot or Noodle Soup, simply rez the item nearby your sick breedable. Click your breedable select consumables and select Healing kit, Vaccination, Flu shot or Noodle Soup. Before your eyes your Breedable will go from sick back to perfect health.

So there you have it all you need to know if your breedable starts to become sick.

Happy Breeding & Feeding!!

Until next time….

The K-9 HUD Revisited!

Filed Under : K9 Information by Josie

Mar.12,2019

Hello Amaretto Community! Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Today I wanted to take a moment to share with you a feature for the K-9 that is often an over-looked feature that is so much fun! I am talking about the K-9 HUD! Take a look below where I tell you about this nifty little HUD. While the K-9 is attached to the HUD they receive a boost in Happiness. This is an incremental increase that will rise as long as the K-9 stays attached to the HUD.

To get a K-9 HUD you can click on any of your Amaretto K-9s and that will bring up the main menu. On the menu you will see Help.

When you click help that you will get another menu that has a button on it labeled hud.

By clicking the hud button you will receive a K-9 hud sent directly to the objects folder in your inventory.

Go to objects folder and find the hud, right click it and go to wear. It will attach to the upper left hand side of your screen. You can adjust this if you wish.

To connect your K-9 to the hud, click the K-9 and then click the hud button on the menu then click the connect button on your HUD.

Make sure your K-9s movement is set to physical before connecting to the hud.

Operation of the HUD

While the K-9 is attached to the HUD they receive a boost in Happiness. This is an incremental increase that will rise as long as the K-9 stays attached to the HUD. The buttons on the HUD are as follows:

Connect – This button lets you chose what K-9 you want to interact with
Disconnect – This button disconnects the current K-9 from the HUD
Follow – the K-9 will follow your avatar
Come – The K-9 will walk to your avatar and then sit near you
Stay – This will cause the K-9 to sit and stay in its current location
Get Ball – This button will send a ball to your objects folder for use with the Fetch button
Fetch – This button needs to be activated before you can throw the ball and have your K-9 go get it for you.
GPS – This button can be used to set your K-9s settings

The HUD also displays valuable information such as:

Which K-9 is connected to the HUD
Which feature of the HUD is currently in use, Fetch, Come, Stay, and Follow.

Using the K-9 HUD:

Wear the HUD – It will attach to your screen in the upper left corner
Touch the K-9 you want to interact with and chose HUD from the Blue Menu
Touch the Connect button on the HUD – It will confirm in local which K-9 is connected to the HUD
Now you can choose to have your K-9 do one of the activities listed on the HUD

Come, Stay, Follow

To play Fetch with the K-9 using the HUD

Click the Get Ball button – This will send a ball to your objects
Wear the Ball – it will attach to your hand
Click Ball to set range for the distance at which the ball will be thrown. You can chose from 20, 40, 60, or 100 meters.
Click the Fetch button on your HUD
You will see the mouse look button at the bottom of your screen click that to go into mouse look
Aim where you want to throw the ball and left click your mouse to throw the ball
Your K-9 will run and retrieve the ball and bring it back to you as you will see it back in your hand and you can throw it again and again while your K-9 retrieves it for you.

Once you are done interacting with your K-9 via the HUD or you want to play with a different K-9 click the Disconnect button. This will disconnect your K-9 from the HUD and reset Home position where the K-9 is located at the time it disconnects. Remember to move your K-9 back within range of it’s kibble and water and reset it’s home position.

So, give the K-9 HUD a try and see how much fun it can be to interact with your K-9!

I hope you all have an amazing week! Happy breeding!

Until next time…

The Amaretto Family

Filed Under : Amaretto Announcements,Amaretto Groups Info by Markus Margulis

Mar.10,2019

Hey Everyone,

As most of you already know about The Amaretto Community website (https://www.theamarettocommunity.com not ran by Amaretto but by myself and Bazza) today I want to tell you all about a NEW website that Bazza and I have been working on over the past few weeks!

The Amaretto Family (https://www.theamarettofamily.com) is an extension of The Amaretto Community.

So why the 2 websites?, Well let me explain why.

Firstly, The Amaretto Community (TAC) website is not going anywhere, It will still be used for sharing new traits/showing off the goodies you get in-world and keeping everyone up to date. However, the “community” features of the website were relatively complicated and not very clean and easy to use for the average user, and this showed by the lack of community features, it also was buggy at times with registration and also password resets. So we have taken the decision to disable registration and the membership mechanics on the TAC website. If you had an account on there you will no longer be able to log into it.

The Amaretto Family (TAF) website is a separate platform to TAC. TAF uses software that is widely adopted across forums and communities. The official Second Life forums run on this very software. It is much easier to register, adjust profiles, reset passwords and take part in the community.

One very useful feature is full integration with Discord – We will be taking the step to rename our Discord channel to “The Amaretto Family”.

Secondly, to bring the community closer together we have integrated the folks over at AMOC (Amaretto Market Owner Coalition) into this ecosystem. (AMOC’s previous website had similar issues in regards to communities as TAC did). So if you are an avid AMOC user you should sign up here and grab an account as you will need it to register here for future AMOC events. AMOC’s Forum: https://www.theamarettofamily.com/index.php?/forum/5-amaretto-market-owners-coalition-amoc/

This platform is years ahead of the previous so we encourage you all to sign up and join in! – We are still working on adding everything so keep an eye on this site over the coming days.
We also have plans to add some exciting new features to the platform over the coming weeks/months!

On that note our in-world TAC signs have been readjusted to show the changes to the site. So if you have an old one out you should probably pick up a new one (for free) here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sushene Seven/219/161/21

We also have a new sign for TAF which can also be picked up for free at the same location!

A special thanks goes out to Josie for letting us post this 3rd party community on the connection. <3

Hugs everyone, Marku <3

How do I submit my Designer Breedable?

Filed Under : AMOC News by snookiegirl Resident

Mar.9,2019

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a great start. Today I want to talk about those gorgeous designs that you have been working on!

Do you have an amazing creation that is matched up with just the right traits for the design that you imagined?

Did you know that you can submit that project/design to AMOC to be displayed in one of the many designer albums on the AMOC facebook page? So now what do you do?

1st Create a notecard and name it your creation name, avatar name & date then on the inside of the notecard list the information about your project/creation, for example:

Name of your project
Your Name
Date you are submitting i.e., 03/09/19
Horse/K9/Bird/Ponie Stats
Parents Stats

2nd Please list what stats you will want to see on the completed creation/project. It does NOT have to be completed to submit. Parents full stats (including UUIDs) MUST be included.

3rd Take a picture of the breedable as it currently looks (you can always submit an updated picture at a later date). Make sure the picture is full perm and then drag it into the notecard.

4th Drop the notecard into the collection box just inside AMOC Headquarters located at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Amaretto%20Ranch%20Haven/100/152/22

Do not send notecards to AMOC officers — all notecards/submissions must be put in the AMOC mailbox only. Notecards that are put in any other mailbox will be deleted.

Your creation will be posted as soon as we verify that there has not already been a similar project previously submitted. If there is already a similar project we will verify the date the picture was taken and that will determine the creator (think of the picture as your copyright)!!

You will only be notified in-world if there is a question about your design. Otherwise, you should be able to find your submission, within a week, on the AMOC facebook page. There are several different albums, each sorted by colors or traits, so be sure to check them all!

You can take a look at some of the many AMOC certified designers that have been submitted in the past from Festive Traits, Coloring Book, Sweet Treats, Reds Reds & more Reds and so many more right here https://www.facebook.com/pg/AMOCoalition/photos/?tab=albums

Hope to see your amazing creation soon!

Until next time this is Snookie hoping you have a fun weekend and Happy Breeding!
