Improved Magmasaurs

Description
This mod aims to improve the magmasaurs by removing some of the pvp nerfs.

-Magmasaurs can breed without lava.
-Magmasaurs do not require metal to fire projectiles.
-Baby Magmasaurs will grow a little faster.
-Tribe owned structures will not be damaged by fire projectiles.
-Fire projectiles consume 5 food per shot.
-Forge uses 2 food per tick.
-Magmasaur can swim much faster.
-Magmasaurs can be configured to lose health when underwater.
-Can be removed at any time without losing any dinos.

INI Options
[ImprovedMagmasaurs]
AlwaysCharged=False
UnderwaterDamage=False
SmeltingSpeed=2.0

If AlwaysCharged is set to True the magmasaur will have full projectile charge at all times when there is a rider.

If UnderwaterDamage is set to True then the magmasaur will take damage while underwater that is equal to 1.5% of it's max health per tick, this is to give balance to the magmasaur as for something that is made up of alot of fire/lava you can make it weak to water, if it also happens to die while underwater you will be notified via tribe logs for this being the reason.

SmeltingSpeed is set to 2.0 by default on vanilla, increasing this will allow the magmasaur to smelt items faster such as metal.

Mod ID: 2600525401

If I had to guess, I'd say the reason for smelting not working is because of Cross-Genesis since it creates a copy for the Magmasaur. Shame, I really wanted this mod for the smelt speed, but ya know.

Hi mate, was wondering if there's anything you can do regarding a weird bug I've found on fjodur. The magmasaur cant spit while in the lava, as it's technically water. Makes killing wild magmasaurs much harder as they can spit as much as they like, while I have to bite or stand on dry land. Incidentally, the charge time on land in the volcano is really unpredictable, sometimes its the 1 second charge up other times the default 4-5 second one. Love the mod otherwise, and I know this is a bug with the vanilla magmasaur too, just wondered if there was anything you could do on your end to patch it?

@RnBatista92 I'll look into it when i get the chance to install the ase devkit, for now you can try using my better creatures mod as i don't believe this issue has been reported there.

Hi, smelting still doesn't work for me, I play PVE SOLO, what is correct INI file to put INI Options?

Well, just tried it out and nope, my magmasaur won't smelt regular nor scrap metal. It might only be effecting existing magmasaurs from before adding the mod. I'll see about getting a new one and see if anything is different

smelting still doesnt work... :(

Sounds odd, unless you have a mod that remaps or replaces magmasaurs they should still be able to smelt.
