V19.2

Compy:

Fixed Compy Summons timer getting messed up when transferring Compy's to a server younger than the one where they last used their Summons.

Ferox:

Possible fix for occasional falling through world on transform bug

Morellatops:

Now immune to Sandstorms
Fixed head attack correctly no longer stopping movement

Owl:

Now has 10x spoil timer for Wyvern Milk, Shocking Tranq Darts and Leech Blood

Purlovia:

Now gives even less of a shit. Immune to a variety of stunning, slowing, dismounting and blinding debuffs, including: Purlovia, Baryonx, Jellyfish, Eel, Rex Roar, Voidwyrm, Shadowmane, Bee, Microraptor, Dilo Spit, Spider Webs, Plant Species X, note that you will still take damage from these attacks, you will just be immune to the stunning etc. effects. This immunity does *not* include bolas, web bolas, net guns, Enforcer slow, or any frozen debuffs (ie. Ice Wyvern, Mana, or Owl)
Rider now cannot be dismounted and is now also immune to stunned debuffs.
Can now bury whilst ridden by clicking RMB. Rider will slowly lose oxygen whilst buried unless equipped with a scuba tank. Unable to move whilst buried.
Can unbury by either clicking RMB to emerge biting, spacebar to emerge with a small non damaging jump, or click LMB to emerge with a mighty stun causing leap. Crosshair will appear when buried and able to use this attack to assist in targeting the LMB leap.
Fixed saddle torch size and location
Reduced melee swing radius from 280 to 200

Rex:

Fixed PreventJPRexRoars=True config

Spider:

Increased range of bola attack.
Re-work of Spider attacks:

LMB is still bite, spider in turret mode will not attempt to use its bite attack unless the target is actually close enough to be bitten
RMB is now regular spider web attack
C is now purely Web Bola, no longer requires C key to be held. Instead when ridden will now have a 10 second cool down between uses (buff timer will appear with remaining cooldown time)
X is now climbing toggle

These changes have been made because I realised that with the attack logic having to be graphed to facilitate the original set up, the projectile attacks were not using their attack states correctly, meaning that projectiles were being fired straight ahead instead of using the correct leading target logic. This will make using web bolas much more effective (hence the longer cooldown)

Stego:

Now uses unused galloping animations
Decreased Tamed Walking Speed modifier from 2.0 to 1.5
Increased Tamed Running Speed modifier from 1.5 to 2.0
This is to help animations look more natural.

Wild Babies & Eggs:

Fixed Angry Adults buff not angering adults who currently have certain buffs
Wild baby/egg buff should now be properly applied to wild dinos on SP with Hibernation enabled.

Update: Jan 4, 2022 @ 11:01am

V19.1

Bigfoot:

Increased chances of gathering Citronel and Longrass when harvesting

Ferox:

Hopefully fixed all issues caused by the addition of the Dinopithicus and changes to parent class Deinon

Deinon:

Prevented Better Deinon Buff from being applied to Dinopithicus

Hesp and Ichthy:

Added additional checks to ensure that BD Wild versions definitely get converted to vanilla when tamed

Liop:

Fixed some jankiness with passive healing.
Passive healing now correctly disables when rider mounts.
All healing now correctly disables if Liop is not concious
Reduced health drain and torpor gain of Mana exhaustion by 50%
Reduced Mana Exhaustion threshold to 5%

Phiomia:

Increased chances of gathering Savoroot, Rockarrot, Rare Mushrooms, and Rare Flowers when harvesting

Reindeer:

Now correctly produce Egg Nog and poop presents when Winter Wonderland Event is active. Apologies for being so late with this.

Valyrian Reins:

Fixed Reins Buff inadvertently triggering anti Apex buffs from other mods

Wyverns:

Fixed Crystal Wyvern roar spam glitch

Misc:

Spawner clean up logic for remapping of Small Ferox, Griffin, Tropeognathus, and Unicorn now takes into account if taming is in progress before destroying (checks for Taming Has Food or Taming Affinity > 0)

New .Ini Options:

BuffsIncludeSource= (Path String array, must be separated by a comma (,))

Using this option will allow BD buffs to be added to sources other than vanilla, however to receive BD buffs the required dinos MUST be child classes of the vanilla. How this is used is entirely up to the users discretion, and users should be aware that adding BD buffs to other modded dinos may have inadvertent effects and should therefore be used with caution. The String Array accepts partial matches of the dinos path code, and can be used to be very vague and add BD buffs to all compatible dinos from a certain mod, or you can be very precise and only add to specific creatures.

Some examples:

To add BD Buffs to the entirety of creatures from the Paleo Ark mod and the No Untameables mod, you could use:

BuffsIncludeSource=PaleoARKLegends,NoUntameables

This simply uses the mods main folder names. To add buffs though to *just* the Paleo Ark Stego, and Paleo Ark Rex, you would have to be more precise and use something like:

BuffsIncludeSource=PaleoARKLegends/PaleoVariants/PaleoStego,PaleoARKLegends/PaleoVariants/PaleoRex

Which will filter out to just the folders that contain the Paleo Stego and Paleo Rex.

This is intended to be a niche method of support, and therefore I leave it to the user to figure it out for themselves. I will not be fretting over attempts to make things work that don't work (as a preemptive statement, I will state that dinos from the Crystal Isles addition mod are not child classes of vanilla, and therefore this will not work to add BD buffs to them, so don't even bother trying)

Update: Oct 30, 2021 @ 7:36am

V19.0

Bigfoot:

Removed Shield from saddle mesh
Instead, Bigfoot is now able to be equipped with a Shield of your choice. This does not add any additional armour and is purely for aesthetics. Note that DS2 Soul Balls will not currently store shields held by Bigfoots when captured and therefore they will drop in a bag. Hopefully Lethal will once more do me a solid and add support for this in the future.
Removed ability to hide saddle chestplate mesh
Weapons held by Bigfoots now properly show colorisation
Fixed held weapon consuming durability when Bigfoot takes damage and is also equipped with saddle/helmet. Note that although I have fixed it on the Bigfoot, I will not be able to do so on the Mantis which also suffers from the same issue as it has required what is known in the trade as a 'Bad Hack' which is not possible to do from a buff without re-mapping the Mantis once more. I suspect that attempts to fix this by WC are what periodically causes the Mantis tool holding ability to get messed up.
Increased durability decrease of held weaponry per hit by 100% (is still half of that of the Mantis)
Fixed some helmet scaling issues

Cnidaria:

Fixed exploit with conversions between BD and NU.
Fixed Biotoxin harvesting getting borked after release from Cryo/Soul Ball/Fish Basket.
Doubled attack range and melee swing of tamed Jellies
Now have an inventory. This means that they can now be levelled, and can harvest items. Existing Jelly's may need to be capture and released before Inventory is available.
Can now be equipped with Stay Put Orbs

Conversions:

'Mutagen Applied' now correctly carries over when using manual conversion method (ie. Deinonychus)

Rock Drakes:

Removed AllowRockDrakeMating= .Ini option as Drakes are now breedable in vanilla, replaced with PreventRockDrakeMating= if you wish to prevent the mating of Rock Drakes instead.

Saddles:

BD Trike and Pachy Saddle engrams should now unlock the vanilla item rather than the BD specific item. Note this change may cause the disappearence of already learnt engrams of these two items, a mindwipe may be required. Note that existing BP's will probably still be the BD versions, but any BP's collected from this update onwards will be vanilla. You may wish to ask your admins to swap out your Trike and Pachy saddle BP's for vanilla ones now as I'll be completely removing the BD ones from the mod at a later date.

Unicorn:

Added R-Unicorn. Has a very small chance of spawning in place of any Eden Equus.

Misc:

BD Trikes and Brontos will now spawn Bone Trikes and Brontos during the Fear Evolved event.
Ended Sparkly Dinos appearing with Kraken100k=True. Stay tuned for a proper 200k event coming soon(ish)

Update: Aug 24, 2021 @ 1:17am

V18.9

200k Subscribers Special!

Re-enabled special Sparkly max Level BD dinos for taming or killing for special lootses if using the Kraken100k=True .Ini option. More special celebrations of 200k subs will be coming soon after I have my house move and other stuff out of the way!

Reduced massive amount of Ammonite spawns in Genesis Ocean Biome (logic for this courtesy of Myrm)

Voidwyrm:

Now has BD Bionic Buff (Extra damage and resistance and pooping bio oil)
Wild Voidwyrms now have a chance of dropping Valyrian Reins when killed
Added BD Speed Voidwyrm
Tamed Voidwyrms can now be 'Milked' for Element Shards.

Workbench:

Added Genesis 2 Smithy items to smithy section.
Prevented placement on Saddles (at least until I can work out a few oddities with it and them)

Misc:

Mutation counts now correctly carry forward when using alternate conversion method (this mainly affects Deinons)
Added Bronto > R-Bronto, Speed Owl > R-Speed Owl and Speed Quetz > R- Speed Quetz to Myrms QOL converters array.

New .Ini Options:

PreventWhaleExtraTeleport= (Set to true to prevent the Astrocetus extra teleport range addition)
PreventWhaleExtraSpeed= (Set to true to prevent the Astrocetus extra speed)
PreventBetterEnforcer= (Set to true to prevent the Better Enforcer buff)
PreventEnforcerReducedDamage= (Set to true to prevent Enforcers receiving reduced damage from Corrupted dinos)

Update: Aug 2, 2021 @ 10:18am

V18.8

Astrocetus:

Increased teleport range by 50%.
Doubled flying speed and acceleration
Increased swim speed from 300 to 2500

Basilisk:

Added to Scorched Earth and Ragnarok Dunes spawners. To remove if you do not want them to spawn here use the .Ini option PreventDesertBasilisk=True

Boa:

Fixed being unable to detect dropped fertilized eggs when wild.

Bronto:

Added Better R-Bronto
Bronto one foot stomp now stomps the foot in the direction of the camera rather than random feet

Cloning:

Adjusted cloning costs for Coel, Piranha, Salmon, Jellyfish, Eurypterid, and Trilobite

Compy:

Fixed Convert To Better buff not being correctly applied

Diplodocus:

Reduced tail whip rider attack interval from 10 seconds to 1 second, however tail whip stun now has a 60 second cooldown before it can be applied again to any given creature.
One footed stomp now stomps the correct foot in the camera direction.

Dung Beetle:

Should now disable mating when wandering instantly on unstasis.

Eurypterid:

Once more unable to leave water. Will now die when outside of water.
Reduced capsule size by 50%

Ferox:

Cloned Ferox will no longer duplicate their element stash.

Liop:

No longer wastes points into Oxygen at all. This should cause Mana to be less unbalanced in comparison to other stats.

Mantis:

Added Rhino Horn to taming foods in line with Vanilla change

Megalosaurus:

Toggle AI Special attacks now correctly toggles in radial menu

Moth:

Can no longer strafe while walking.
Now has proper flying strafing and flying backwards animations

Fixed child class Raptors, eg. from other mods, having their pounce attack changed by BD buff on buff deactivation

Acid Blood no longer affects mounted shoulder pets.

Trike:

Fixed Convert To Better buff not being correctly applied to X and Tek Trikes

Wire Fish Basket:

Now has double the spoil timer of regular Fish Baskets again.
Can now be used to tame Shadowmanes

Misc:

Added protection for conversions where 'Convert to' dino does not have a costume slot and 'Convert from' is equipped with a costume. Note that the costume will be deposited into the creatures inventory instead, and the creature will receive a costume slot courtesy of the BD Buff Manager, but this does not happen fast enough to prevent loss of the costume without this protection in place.

Added Styracs, Stygi's and Liops to Genesis 2

Added Desert colour set that will be used by BD dinos added to desert regions (ie Pachyrhino, Stryrac and now Basilisks)

Update: Jun 13, 2021 @ 2:28pm

Wild Raptor Pounce now prevented again on mission and corrupted Raptors.

Speed versions of R-Quetz and R-Owl now lay correct eggs and have correct health and melee multipliers.

Switched a couple of order of operations for Ferox transformations.

Update: Jun 9, 2021 @ 10:38am

Gen2 Hotfixes:

All BD Buffs now only applied to vanilla dinos and dinos from selected mods (mainly AAD and NU) Logic put in place to maybe include user selected child classes from external mods at a later date.

Prevented all BD Buffs from being placed on Mission Variants or Corrupted dinos.

Fixed all instances of Octree overlaps being broken (Oviraptor, Beetle et. al)

Prevented Void Wyrms from being wild babies.

All R-Dinos are now properly supported with the exception of the R-Bronto which will require a dev kit update to be properly implemented.

Speed Flyers:

Added Speed version of R-Quetz and R-Owl

Ferox:

Update: May 28, 2021 @ 2:21pm

V18.5

Hotfixes:

Vanilla Deinonychus and Snow Owl:

Removed swapping of Physics Assets via buff as it turns out this is what was messing with their mating ranges. Unfortunately this does mean that both of these now have full collision on their tails once more. (BD Unique Deinon and BD Speed Owl retain collision free tails)

Deer:

As with above, removed swap of physics asset for female deer, instead antler collision for both male and females now handled by box components.

New .Ini Options:

PreventDeinonExtraLevels= (This will work on both vanilla and BD Deinons, set to True to keep Deinons spawning as 150 max on regular 5x difficulty settings)

DeinonBuffColourOnly= (Set to true to disable conversion to Better Deinon, and the extra health increase whilst keeping the proper colourized materials)

Update: May 27, 2021 @ 3:14pm

V18.4

Mek:

Fixed buffs not being properly prevented
Fixed an oddity with sprinting animation sometimes not being applied

Increased Mass from 3,500 to 5,000
Increased Step Height from 70(!) to 500
Now correctly does not draw aggro from small squishy creatures that otherwise would bizarrely decide to chomp on a gigantic metal man (note that all Corrupted will still attack on sight as they're idiots)
Now correctly receives 20% damage reduction from all dino attacks (was previously not receiving reduced damage from certain damage types such as Corrupted dinos)

Direwolf:

Now correctly takes reduced damage with its gang bonus rather than increased damage.

Increased mass from 500 to 3,000.
