V18.2

Hotfix:

Ferox:

Fixed a potential exploit.
Tweaked some IK settings to prevent weird behaviour during attack and roar animations

Speed Wyverns:

Milking timer now correctly resets if transferring to a server younger than the origin

V18.1

Ferox:

Fixed Attack speed increase from addiction being erroneously reset by premature notify
Now attacks at same speed when addicted on Single Player as it will on Server
Added yet more checks to try and prevent duplication of smalls when taming
Fixed Ferox not providing insulation on dedicated servers
Added extra checks to try and prevent transformation where there is no room (Note that all checks are only made vertically. It is still highly recommended to make sure you do not feed Ferox's too close to walls when taming as this can cause mesh glitching. Not a lot I can do about that.)
Small Ferox's that have stashed Element are now unable to be converted to vanilla to prevent loss of stash.
Doubled Mass of Large Ferox
Large Ferox that is over 75% addicted will now be unable to be knocked back whilst using its fury swipe attacks
Removed camera shake from running animation
Added cosmetic Roar to Left Ctrl (Alt Fire)
Added new melee attack to X (Dino Air Brake) that uses a cool unused punchy animation. High stamina usage but hits four times with higher damage than regular swipe. Is sped up with Addiction.

Styrac:

Mini re-work.
Styrac charge attack now does base 50% more damage.
Styrac now receives rivalry buff from unaligned X-Dinos and Corrupted Dinos
Now does 300% damage against Corrupted Dinos.
Now completely negates wild X-Dinos damage and resistance multipliers (ie. will deal full damage against wild X-Dinos, and will only receive regular and not boosted damage from them)
Charge attack will do additional 25% extra damage against wild X-Dinos and Corrupted dinos

Golems:

Fixed bleed buff effects still being applied after being prevented. Bleeds are now properly prevented from being placed at all.

Unicorn:

Fixed Pegasus health buff only healing up to 50%, now correctly heals up to 80%

Liop:

Shiny Enraged Liops will no longer have their health reset to base levels

Megalania:

Doubled the amount of Torpor over time dealt by bite attack.

Trike:

Increased base Torpor by 50%

Misc:

Alduins Heart now only crafts 1 item instead of 10, as intended
Workbench Preserving Bin section now has a 10x spoil timer for Primal Crystal and by extension Alduin's Heart
Added Styrac and Stygi saddles to AddSaddles config loot additions
Fixed dino passengers being able to be damaged by certain damage types
Fixed Procop pouch player passengers receiving damage

V. 18.0:

Better Ferox:

Many fixes from vanilla;

All levels correctly transfer between biggy and smalls
Level ups made when biggy correctly transfer to smalls
Gets correct tamed levels on tame on both client and server
All buffs now transfer from smalls to biggy and vice versa (Shiny Ferox's! Yay!)
Serialized many timers to prevent some weirdness when cryopodding or over server restarts
Various animation fixes such as missing sounds, melee swing notifies, addiction speed notifies, prevention of movement etc.
Addiction amount required to mate now configurable by .Ini. Still defaults to 95%

Element Stashing:

Small Ferox's can now be used to stash Element away.
They can hold up to 500 element, where they put it only they know! To stash Element put it onto your Hotbar, then go into Options in the radial menu and select 'Stash Element' The Element will then be removed from you and squirrelled away.
Ferox's that have a stash of Element will not follow you around and beg if you have Element on your Hotbar, however there is a small chance that every now and again they will sneak a piece of Element out of their stash, decreasing it by one. The higher their Addiction level the greater the chance they have of doing this.
Small Ferox's that have a stash and are transformed to a Large Ferox will receive extra health. Two points of extra health for each piece of Element stashed (Note that this extra health will not persevere over server restarts if your Ferox is left in its large state).
If your Ferox is killed in either form then its stash will be deposited into its inventory. Make sure you get it before your enemies do!
Stashing Element onto a Ferox can be used to trick the Cross Ark Transfer system, and allow you to transfer Element across Arks!
Element can be retrieved from your Ferox's stash at any time, however be careful as they don't like to give it up easily! Removing a stash will trigger a transformation into large, and the Ferox will steal a small amount (between one and five pieces. This will contribute towards total addiction amount.) of your Element.
The Large Ferox then has a chance of raging and attacking everything around it for about 20 seconds before calming down, so make sure you take it somewhere out of the way to take its stash off of it! The chance of a rage increases with the Ferox's Addiction level, with 100% addiction guaranteeing that they will rage out.

Liop:

Fixed Mana being removed when transferring servers when the game time of the 'To' server is less than the game time of the 'From' server.

Deinon:

Wild BD Deinons will now only ever lay one egg.
BD Deinons now lay their own eggs instead of vanilla (both wild and tamed) so they'll be no need to convert bred Deinons.
Halved base Stamina of BD Deinon from 600 to 300, note that this is still double the vanilla Deinons base Stamina of 150
Increased base Weight of BD Deinon from 140 to 200
Wild BD Deinons will now spawn up to same level as Drakes/Wyverns etc. (190 on regular difficulty 5 settings) Note that this is only relevant to the BD Unique Deinon class, vanilla Deinons will be unaffected.

Beaver:

Can now wander harvest up to 75% of its weight same as Doeds and Anky's

Genesis Lunar Biome:

Reduced numbers of both Tek Griffins and Tek Ankys

Quetz:

Now unable to be converted to or from Speed versions if equipped with a platform saddle

Bronto:

Made completely unable to be converted from Better to Vanilla or vice versa if equipped with a platform saddle

Backend:

When doing any conversions, all painting details will now be transferred between converted dinos

Made some refinement to how imprinting details are passed over when doing a non Dino Data manual conversion (mainly relevant to BD Deinon conversion)

Removed some obsolete checks


New .Ini Options:

PreventAllyLooking= (Set to true to automatically turn off Ally Looking on all tamed dinos)

AddSaddles= (Syntax is likely to change on this in the future. Set to True to add the following saddles to the saddles only loot tables used by the majority of cave drops: Karkinos Platform, Trike Platform, Mammoth Platform, Purlovia, Direwolf, Enforcer, Ape Armour, and Valyrian Reins. In short, easily adds BD unique saddles to cave drops)

PreventBetterFerox= (Set to true to prevent the Better Ferox)

FeroxBreedingAddictionAmount= (This must be between 0.05 and 0.95. This is the percentage of Element addiction required to enable small Ferox's to breed)

AllowFeroxCleanBreeding= (Set to true to allow Ferox's to breed without any addiction at all)

FeroxTameUseMultiplier= (Set to true to have Ferox taming follow server taming mulipliers. I have not made this standard as I believe that the Ferox is a powerful enough beast that having it ignore multis and using a standardised method of taming regardless of server multipliers was the correct decision. However, I know that a lot of you are going to want this, so I'm pre-empting the requests.)

PreventFeroxStash= (Set to true to prevent the ability to stash Element on small Ferox's)

BeaverMaxGatherWeightLimit= (Defaults to 0.75)


New Admin Script Commands:

All script commands should be prefaced with 'Cheat ScriptCommand' Do bare in mind that these may possibly be doing large scale conversions depending on how populated your server is with tamed dinos, and therefore may cause server hitches or lag. Note that of course all commands will only affect dinos that are out in the world, they will have no effect on dinos that are stored away in Cryopods/Soul Balls or similar.

ConvertFlyersToSpeed - This will convert all tamed flyers that have a BD Speed version into their BD Speed version

ConvertSpeedToRegular - This will convert all tamed BD Speed Flyers back into their regular version

Both of these do of course respect the AllowFlyerSpeed and PreventSpeedFlyerType configs

RefreshBDTamedBuffs - Will cycle through all tamed dinos with a delay and physically remove any BD Buffs and BD Manager, and will then re-add them again to make sure that all logic gets properly run and that all dinos have their correct buffs. Will also check all players to make sure they have the BD Player Buff. This may take a couple of minutes to cycle through all tamed dinos depending on how populated your server is. Note that this will of course reset a lot of buff controlled timers for things such as Wyvern and Phiomia Milking, or Angler Gel harvesting.

ConvertAllVanillaToBetter - Will convert all tamed vanilla dinos to their BD versions where appropriate. This does of course respect any PreventBetter configs. Is advised to run 'RefreshBDTamedBuffs' a couple of minutes prior to this as it depends on said dinos having their correct Convert Vanilla buff which will be ensured by running that command.

ConvertAllBetterToVanilla - Will convert all tamed remapped Better Dinos to their vanilla versions

Note that no creatures that are equipped with platform saddles will be effected by the convert to or from Better commands

V17.6

Fixed Genesis Apocoelypse. Fixed BD Coel being converted to vanilla regardless of whether or not PreventBetterCoel=True.

Fixed a Unicorn flight exploit.

Reverted recent change to Pego being able to be tamed with Simple Kibble. Because of the way the kibble system is, it's impossible to only have it take Simple and disregard the rest without annoying all of you who use stack mods with stacking kibble (or more to the point, all of you annoying me when your stacked Simple Kibble doesn't work!) Therefore as a compromise, Pegomastax now have Sugar Candy as their preferred taming food as it is a unique item with no child classes.

And on the subject of Sugar Candy... Removed Stimulant as a crafting cost, doubled amount of Mejoberries, added 20 Stimberries

Speed Ember Wyvern breath attack now has the proper ramp up damage with use.

Decreased weight of Direwolf and Bigfoot saddles to 12 and 15 respectively

Doubled Enforcers Step Height

Fixed a Best Eggs compatibility issue with Dilos

Fixed Huge Water Carnivore buff not saving

V17.5

Bloody, Bloody, Bloody Fish:

Reverted Ocean Dino Manager changes. Ocean Coel will now spawn naturally again with apologies to your save files. Too many shenanigans with both official and modded maps where the creators have not properly defined volumes causing fish to be spawned where they shouldn't be by the ODM and I really don't want to have to create a unique one for each map.

BD Coel now spawning again now that Love Evolved event has finished.


Mod Size Reductions:

Slight redesign of the BD workbench to remove use of custom textures, now uses all base game textures

Purlovia now uses vanilla skeleton and 96% vanilla animations


Bug Fixes/Tweaks:

Corrupted Wyverns, Drakes and BD Deinon nests now check for the correct egg type before destroying themselves.

Wild Corrupted Drakes now use their feathered mesh

Baby Oviraptors will no longer show egg boost/collection multiuse options nor will they provide an egg boost until they are adult

Purlovia now properly unhides saddle mesh after attacking from a buried state.

Fertilized Spider, Moth and Scorpion Eggs now have their own colourized HUD's (courtesy of Myrmecoleon)

Meks can now have resource harvesting disabled or enabled via Multiuse

Fixed being able to milk wild Phiomias

V17.4

Removed BD Coel Ocean Dino Spawner entirely, all BD Ocean Dino Managers will only spawn vanilla Coel for the duration of the Love Evolved event.

Added special Ocean Dino Manager for The Center that will not attempt to spawn Coels above the depth of -52,000 to avoid attempting to spawn them in the underwater domes and underworld cave.

Fixed some conversion/timer exploits

Fixed KBD Lunar Salmon converting to regular Salmon either manually or when using the PreventBetterSalmon=True config

To prevent gender bending exploits, VANILLA Dung Beetles, Griffins, and Titanoboas are now gendered, however to preserve their vanilla strength for those who may have the better versions of these creatures disabled, they will not receive a mate boost at all, nor will they be able to breed.

All Dino Guns config now handled by BD Buff Manager rather than BD Player Buff

Fixed Pegomastax not gaining tamed levels on tame

Fixed Unicorn flying without wings immediately after being tamed. Fixed Mana bar being visible during taming.

Wild Aberrant Raptors will no longer use their pounce attack (small fix now ahead of a potential larger re-work)

V17.3

EMERGENCY HOTFIX

Fixed memory leak issue caused by destruction of Enforcers or Reapers causing an infinite chain of buff re-applications.

Removed the Better Coel from spawning all together to avoid disruption of Love Evolved. Will add back in after the event has finished. Existing Better Coels will be unaffected.

V17.1

Fixed some borked collision settings that were causing come smaller creatures to either be untargetable by cryopod/soul ball or to phase through the mesh when being thrown from the shoulder.

Fixed Mammoth LODS kicking in at short range

Fixed PreventBetterWolf=True .Ini option, now prevents the Direwolf buff and prevents the addition of the saddle slot.

Fixed janky camera zoom out when using Toad super jump.

Moth equipped with Valyrian Reins now allows mounted weaponry

Pet Dino emote now properly plays the cuddle animation of the closest non-mounted dino to the player (thanks Lethal for the assist!)

New .Ini Options:

PreventManaExtraBreathRange= (set to true to prevent the Managarmrs breath attack range increase)
PreventReaperAcidBlood= (set to true if you can't handle a bit of acid blood to your face and have to cheese Reapers with bleed)

V16.1

Unicorn:

Fixed a Mana replenishing exploit
Doubled rate of both Mana drain and regen
Reduced health percentage of heal buff
Material tweak to wings to make them more corporeal
Horn and wing colours now update instantly if colour is changed using admin commands

Right click claw attack now correctly stops movement, and can be used when the Saber is in a falling state
Sabers are now an 'Anti-Pack Dino' creature
Bite atack now adds an additional 35% damage for EACH of the following traits that the victim has:

Is Gang Dino
Is Pack Dino
Has Pack Mate Buff
Is Pack Leader

Eg, against a Direwolf Pack Leader or a Direwolf with a pack mate buff a Saber will deal an additional 105% damage. Percentage can be altered via .Ini if desired.

In addition will inflict small gashed to pack dinos only (3% DOT and 25% slow)

Basilisk:

Tweak to IK when using experimental IK config setting

Liop:

SaberDamageBonusAmount= (Defaults to 0.35, the amount of bonus damage done by sabers vs. Pack/Gang Dinos)

V16.0

Better Unicorn:

10% increase in size, tamed health, damage, and speed
Horn is now colourised and glowy.
Able to be admin coloured, gain event colours, or mutations etc.
Now able to become a magical Pegasus by using the C attack whilst riding
Press G (Drag) to revert back to regular Unicorn mode
This does of course allow you to fly, and provides a close range AoE buff to allied dinos providing health regen and boost to XP gain (only provides health regen if allied dino is under 80% health. Does not effect Unicorns themselves).
Being in Pegasus form will drain your Mana over time. Max Mana is equal to the Unicorns Max Stamina stat. Mana can be topped up by force feeding the Unicorn Mana Restoration potions, and will regenerate over time when not in Pegasus form. Be careful that you don't completely deplete your Unicorns Mana, if it does get completly used up and reaches zero, you will not be able to use it again until you have regained a minimum of 80% Mana.
Is unable to fly on those maps where flyers are prevented such as Genesis (but will still be able to be ridden and use magical buff)

Mammoth:

Fixed not converting back to vanilla when PreventBetterMammoth=True. Full update to the mammoth will come when the TLC update is available in the Dev Kit.

Stego:

Removed custom attack animation fixes to prevent interferance with new TLC attacks. Will re-add once new anims are available in dev kit.

Saber:

Made slightly better pending larger re-work
Doubled jump Z Height
Left click attack made bite only. Now does piercing damage with the same damage type as the Manta, bypassing and shredding armour

Cosmetic Roar added to C

Enforcer:

Now has a 60% damage reduction from Corrupted Dinos as intended but never implemented by WC.
Now immune to Yuty Fear roars and Radiation

Anky:

Increased Metal weight reduction to 85% in line with TLC 3 changes
Now also has 50% weight reduction on Crystal

Crab:

Improved mating logic. Female now displays 'Must Be Submerged To Mate' if mating is enabled and she is not submerged.

Rock Golems:

Now immune to all bleed debuffs, and all Crystal Wyvern breath attack debuffs

Jerboa:

Now can spawn at usual server levels instead of being restricted to the minimum.

Hyaenodon:

Fixed 'Pet' Multiuse from blocking baby imprinting info

Now returns to proper size when dropped from being carried instead of reverting to a 1.0 size

Wild Eggs:

Tripled other nest check range.
Significantly increased interval for individual dinos to be able to create nests

Moth:

Increased fertilizer content and spoiling time of Moth Spores.

Added PreventWyvernMating= config for those who wish for Wyverns to remain unbreedable

Corrupted Costume:

Fixed issue with Rock Drake Camo mesh when Corrupted costume equipped.
Rock Drake will now completely camo with Corrupted Costume equipped.
Rock Drake will now not appear to un-camo if removing the costume whilst camo'd, or if exiting stasis whilst camod and the costume is equipped.
Dimorphodon is now the correct size when equipped with Corrupted Costume.
Added extra check to ensure that both costumes do not attempt to swap the meshes of dinos that do not use the correct skeleton for the mesh being swapped to. This also ensures that if the mesh is not swapped on equipping the costume then the mesh is not set to null on removing it.
Corrupted Costume will now only lose durability whilst the dino wearing it is in a biome volume marked as 'Wasteland'

Scorpion, Mantis, Moth and Spider Egg hatch and maturation times changed to be brought in line with vanilla post TLC3

Removed Prevent Breeding configs from Moth and Mantis

Removed BD Rock Drake Saddle entirely. If Rock Drake saddles are required outside of Aberration it is recommended to use the vanilla config to unlock it.

Many collision tweaks.

Removed fall damage from Toads and Reaper Kings

Fixed some Convert Vanilla buffs not correctly deactivating when PreventBetter*****=True is used

New Emote:

'Pet Dino' use nearby an allied dino to play the petting animation and have your dino play its cuddle animation in return. This is purely cosmetic.

New .Ini Options:

AllowUnNerfedSheepHarvest= (Set to true to remove the nerfed mutton harvest amounts)

BrontoStompHarvestMultiplier= (Defaults to 1, will effect the amounts of materials gathered by the Big Stomp attack only, ie. if you feel the Bronto is able to gather too much metal for example, use this config to reduce it)

PassiveTameBabyFoodMulti= (Defaults to 5, this effects the food drain of wild babies explicitly made passive tameable via the Passive Tame babies config. It will not effect the wild babies of those species who are already passive tameable by default)

PreventBeetleMating= (Set to true to prevent Beetles from being breedable)

PreventScorpVenom= (Set to True to prevent Scorpions producing Scorpion Venom)

PreventBetterUnicorn= (Set to true to prevent the Better Unicorn from spawning and revert all existing back to vanilla)

PreventPegasus= (Set to true to prevent the Better Unicorn from being able to transform into a Pegasus. This only prevents the Unicorn from being able to fly, it will still be able to provide its magical buff to allies)

PreventWyvernMating= (Set to true to prevent Wyverns from being breedable. This replaces the AllowWyvernMating config now that Wyverns are base game breedable)
