Search and Other Game Mechanics

How to: use the search tool, change fonts in owner's notes, etc.

How to Use the Search Tool (Under Construction by Folly's Fantasies)

The horse search is a powerful tool that will let you see how different combinations of genes might look, as well as find horses to buy or breed to. It can be tricky to learn, but once you have followed the steps in this tutorial you will be able to find whatever you want, whenever you want.

The search tool has 4 tabs, and each includes several different parameters to refine your search. 

Key Filters Tab

The key filters tab lets you find horses by name, color name, bone weight, for sale or breeding, or within a specific age range or era, as well as other options.

Pigment Modifiers Tab

The pigment modifiers tab lets you refine your search by specific non-fantasy gene combinations, along with a couple of other options. Looking for grullo or a liver chestnut? Here's where to look.

White Markings Tab

The white markings tab is exactly that - search horses by what pattern and how much white they have. Want a pinto? Want a solid black with no white at all? Look here.

Fantasy Tab

This tab is specifically for fantasy genes and is a wonderful place to look to see what that gene you're considering buying might look like on different base colors.

Key Filters

Horse Name

The first box on the key filters tab is for searching by the horse's name. If you know you named a horse "Romeo" but you can't remember which barn you put him in, start here. You can also find horses by name using just a few characters. For example, use the name "Spot."


How to Change Fonts in Owners Notes, Forum Posts, and Messages

Changing fonts is not possible in the Personal Notes section on your home page.

Bold, Italic, and Underlined Text

<b> Will make your text bold, and </b> will stop the bold text.

<i> Will make your text italic, and </i> will stop the italic text.

<u> Will underline your text, and </u> will stop the underlining.

You can also use two or more of them in combination!

<b><i> Bold Italic! </i></b> and <b><i><u> Bold Underlined Italic! </u></i></b>

Make sure you use your <begin> and </end> commands in the same order. Note how the commands above are structured: b, i, u, text, /u, /i, /b. Think of this as a series of doors you are walking through - the last one you opened is the first one you'll walk through on your way back. This will apply to any HTML commands you use within your text.

Changing Text Color

To change the color of your font, you can use the COLOR attribute. 

<font color="Red">This text will be red.</font> and <font color="DarkTurquoise">This text will be Dark Turquoise.</font>

At one time you could specify the hex code for a particular color, but that seems to have changed. Currently it wants you to use a specific color name inside the quotes. But don't worry, there are 240 colors available! There's a color chart (somewhere? It won't let me upload it)

Changing Text Size

You can change the size of your text using the SIZE attribute.

<font size=
