HTML Coding ~ Profile Editing: Aligning Your Text

Editing Your Profiles


Putting together an awesome profile for you or your horses should be a fun experience.
 I've seen many buddies on Horse Isle 2 get frustrated over profile editing, and I have trouble helping them in game. I hope that I will be able to explain much better here.
HTML coding within HI2 is actually very simple. Much simpler than the kind of coding you would need to use for a webpage or blog. 


(~1~): Aligning Your Text

In my own profiles, I like to keep my text centered, like it appears in this post. 
To center your own text, you would first type:
[center]
And then follow with whatever text you want to be in the center of your profile. 
When you are ready to stop centering your text, you would type:
[/center]

For example:
[center] Apollo [/center]

Apollo's name will now be in the center of his profile page, just like that.

You can also align your text to the right or left side of your profile,
 by doing something very similar.


If you want your text to be on the left side of your profile,
like such, you would use: [left] and [/left].

You can do the same thing if you want your text 
to be aligned on the right side of your profile:
[right] and then [/right]



It's very important that you DO NOT FORGET to use the end-cap, with the forward slash [ / ].
If you don't use the "end-cap", as I call it, your codingwill not come out correctly.
Also, make sure you use the square brackets : [ ]
The regular parenthesis : ( ) WILL NOT WORK.

Breeder's Post: Estimating Your Foal's Adult Height

Estimating Your Foal's Adult Height


<*^*> <*^*> <*^*>

A short time ago, I came across a chart that showed the correlation between the height of a foal as measured within the first real day of its birth, and the height that the foal will reach when fully grown. After using this chart for several weeks, and keeping track of my findings within my own horses' profiles, I have come to the conclusion that this chart is actually quite accurate. 
I hope you all find it as useful as I have!

<*^*> <*^*> <^*^>


     
Newborn Height           Adult Height           

4.3 hh {19"}   ->   8.0 hh {32"}

In Game Time Measurements


.01 Game Year = About 3.3 Real Hours

.10 Game Year = About 33 Real Hours

.5 Game Year = About 1 Real Week

1 Full Game Year = About 2 Real Weeks

20 Full Game Years = About 40 Real Weeks {About 10 Months}


More Game Time Facts


.08 Days Remaining in Labor = 2 Real Hours or Less Before Birth
.04 Days Remaining in Labor = Less Than 1 Hour Before Birth


Zeus Tokens

Zeus Tokens can be purchased from other players inside the game.
They can used only on horses that are older than 5 years old.

There are 2 options to pick from while using a Zeus Token:

1.) Reduce the age of your chosen horse by .50 game years (about 1 real week).
2.) Increase the age of your chosen horse by 1 game year (about 2 real weeks).


Your Horse's LifeCycle

 .5 / .50 (1/2 Year of Age) ~ A foal is weaned from its dam. This means that the foal and/or dam can now be sold separately from each other. Also, this is the age when a colt foal may be gelded.

1 Year of Age ~ A foal is now considered a filly or colt. They can now gain ranch experience points, and they take a miniaturized version of their adult appearance.

2.5 Years Old ~ A colt or filly can now receive stat training, and they can now be ridden. (With tack of course.)

4 Years Old ~ Your horse is finally old enough to compete and can now be bred.

20 Years Old ~ Horses are now considered old. Also mares who have reached this age can no longer breed.

23 Years Old ~ Stallions of this age can no longer be used as studs.

25.5 Years Old ~ It's disappointing, but this is the age when every horse will die. 


(TIP: If you aren't going to retire your horse to your ranch, make sure you check how much it will sell to foreign for, at an auction house, before it dies. That way, you can make some extra cash right before it's going to die anyway.)
