V11.2

Fixed the unintentional buggering up of Mammoth and Trike Platform Saddles

V11.1

Better Archaeopterex:

When carried will now perch on your shoulders instead of making you grasp its legs
Can therefore still use weaponry while gliding (note that as with vanilla the reload button is the key for toggling gliding and therefore you will not be able to manually reload whilst gliding)


Better Megalania:

Increased ridden run speed and running rotation rates
Drag Weight set to 130 and Mass set to 200
Given Cornivores_Medium tag meaning that wild Megalanias will actually be able to hurt other wild dinos they attack when wild, and will only target herbivores instead of everything
Climbing will no longer consume stamina
Will target corpses
Claw Attack damage increased to 25 Base Damage, can now be triggered using Crouch Key (C by default), uses basic carnivore damage type
Removed Megarabies from attacks, instead Megalania bite attacks now have the following effects:

- 10x damage inflicted as torpor over 20 seconds (at 100% melee bite will inflict 100 torpidity over twenty seconds, compared to Scorpion which at 100% melee will inflict 90 over the same period and require two timed attacks to do so)
- 2x damage inflicted as stamina drain over 20 seconds.

Further attacks will prolong the effects by a further 20 seconds, as long as you can see the red particle effect signifying that the dino is 'Rabid' then torpor will still be rising. Dinos who cannot become torpid will not gain the particle effect.


Better Rock Golem:

75% Weight Reduction on Stone, Metal, Crystal, Obsidian, Sand, Flint, all Gems and Crystallised Saps, Salt and Sulfur
Spin Attack (C Key) now uses custom damage type and is therefore able to harvest Metal, Flint, Salt, Sulfur, Obsidian, Crystal, and Condensed Gas
Spin Attck (C Key) now has a double melee hit and will strike twice when used.
Doeds and Anky's now do full damage against all types of Rock Golems
Halved Running Stamina consumption


Better Morellatops:

Head attack will no longer stop movement
Stomp attack damage increased to 38
Max Water amount increased to 1000
If placed near to Crop Plots will add water to them from its own reservoir at the rate of 5 water approx. every ten seconds


Better Oviraptor (Remapped):

Does not require wandering to provide egg boost
Egg boost can be toggled on and off in radial menu (turned on by default)
Increased egg boost range to 3000
Can be set to gather dropped eggs (range is the same as egg boost)
Will gather regular and fertilized eggs unless disabled by config
When gathering eggs the Oviraptor will spawn a nest to place them in at its feet:
- Oviraptor Nest has 50 slots
- Can only hold eggs, only the Oviraptor can place items into the nest
- Nest cannot be damaged, however unless the Oviraptor who spawned the nest is in very close proximity (within a foundation or so) to the nest it will destroy itself and its contents will be lost
- Nests can be locked, and destroyed by the owning player

As the Better Oviraptor is a remapped copy of the OG Oviraptor, if using it to give a mate boost to dinos held within an S+ Vivarium, please make sure to convert it to Vanilla before storing it otherwise it will not be recognised as an Oviraptor. This is such a simple thing to do, there is no reason why anyone should have to recode anything to accomodate it. Lethal is awesome and therefore there will be no problems with Dino Storage Ovi Boosting terminals.

Better Compy (Remapped):

Will actually lay eggs where they stand instead of where they spawned
Increased Baby Growth Speed by 3.5x so they will now grow at the same rate as Pachy's insyead of Brontos
Doubles the spoil time of Prime meats in its inventory (ie raw and cooked Prime, Prime Fish, and Mutton)
When carrying a Compy on your shoulder you can summon a gang of between 6 and 11 Compy Friends by pressing your Reload (R) button:
- Compy Friends have a lifespan of two minutes before despawning. They will also despawn on being stasised.
- Five minute cooldown between summons
- Summoned Compy Friends will be a random level between 50 and 30 levels lower than the level of the summoning Compy
- Levels are calculated on wild increases rather than tamed.
- They will be set to Neutral on spawn, will be following your Compy and can not be interacted with in any way other then to order them by using whistles (no inventory, no radial menu)
- Cannot be cryo'd


Slightly Better Vulture:

Can now be commanded to attack targets


Slightly Better Ichthyornis:

Wild Ichthyornis will only steal Meat, Vegetables, Berries, Seeds, or Honey


Doed:

Now gets 75% weight reduction on Sand


Dung Beetle:

Slight refinement in fertilizer distribution logic


Trike and Mammoth:

Now able to ride on rafts provided they are not equipped with platform saddles


More refinements for conversion logic in regards to WC fucking with Spawn With Dino Node

Hopefully finally eliminated Stayput buff being added multiple times

Brought BD Workbench Smithy up to date with vanilla

V11.0

Hotfix:
Fix for Conversions making dinos go poof thanks to WC latest patch on Windows servers. Old dino will no longer be destroyed if new dino is not properly created, client will be displayed 'Cannot Convert Dino' message instead if manual conversion being done.

Increased Roar animation speed by 50%, added two new roar effects
Speed Wyvern now correctly gets up to 20% speed bonus from imprint

V 10.9

Corrupted Costume:
Fixed loss of durability from receiving attacks
Now accepts regular Organic Polymer as well as Corrupted Nodules as 'Fuel'

Liopleurodon:
Right click attack will now properly shoot you forward in any direction that you face
Fix for correct status component, will now have correct stats when being released from Cryopod/Dino Soul etc.
Fixed C Carry attack not reliably releasing carried dinos.
Removed damage from C Carry attack
Decreased stamina gains per level back to defaults
Increased tamed swim speed by 10%
Increased max speed addition from taming from 10% to 20%
Reduced craft time and crafting costs of Luck potion (10 minutes to craft, 5 Black Pearl, 10 Honey, 10 Squid/Bio Oil, 10 Leech Blood)

Made Bio Oil child of Squid Oil as intended but over looked (meaning it can be used in crafting Luck Potions)

Vastly reduced costs of Cthulu's Blood item to 10 Scorpion Venom, 1 Boa Venom, 10 Leech Blood, 10 Bio Oil (removing need for Megalania Toxin completely)

Fixed Shark Repel and BD Bug Repel being available without learning the engrams

Removed Chem Bench as Shark Repellent Pre-req, replaced with BD Bug Repel as pre-req
Lowered Shark Repel level to 50
Crafting Shark Repel will now give 3 cans

Fixed Coel wander inventory item generation.

Valguero Support:

Added BD Stygi to Chalk Hills spawners
Added BDStyrac to Tundra spawners
Added Aberrant version of both to Emerald Cave spawners

AAD Compatibility:

Renamed the following dinos:

Aberrant Moth to Moth_Character_BP_Aberrant_BD
Aberrant Mantis to Mantis_Character_BP_Aberrant_BD
Aberrant Deer to Stag_Character_BP_Aberrant_BD
Aberrant Pachyrhino to Pachyrhino_Character_BP_Aberrant_BD

If you are playing with AAD Installed then existing version of these dinos will revert to their AAD 'vanilla' version and can then be manually converted back to being BD versions (may need to use a cryopod/dino soul/upload and download to get the conversion buff on them) If you have any of the BD versions of these in Cryopods then I'm afraid they will be corrupted. Those stored in Dino Sould Balls should be ok (Dino Storage ftw) If you have any of these dinos existing from BD but do not have AAD installed then I'm afraid they will be lost.

Above listed dinos will now only show the 'Convert to Vanilla' option if AAD is installed

V 10.75

Fixed Deinon buff getting applied to existing Deinons on server start
Added Colorization mask to Deinon Quill material
Correctly Multicasted Wyvern Roar
Slowed Wyvern Roar animation by 50%
Tweak to Wyvern Roar audio

V 10.7

Slightly Better Deinonychus:

Now uses proper body colorization
Increased base health by 75% as intended but not implemented by the devs, this uses the buffs max stat scalers and as such you may see your Deino appear to lose health on server restarts or when released from cryopod/Dino Soul etc as the original values are applied before base health is increased. I have intentionally not rescaled the health stat as this could be exploited to heal the deino. Hopefully this is only a temporary fix until the devs sort out the incorrect Status component situation.
Repositioned Pack Leader buff fx to not look so dumb.

Added Wyvern Roar to Alt Fire key (Left Ctrl as default)
Wyverns and Rock Drakes now able to be spayed/neutered

Removed reference to Corrupted Deathworm in Corrupted Costume Buff that was causing all Corrupted Deathworm files to be cooked into the mod and thus removing about 40mb from the mod size

Milking timers for Wyverns, Ovis, and Phiomias will now persist over server restarts (but will still reset after cryopodding/soul trapping etc to prevent exploitation)

Removed hard reference to Valguero Ice Wyvern that was causing issues with BD Speed Flyers in cases where the client does not have Valguero map installed.

Removed damage from Pachyrhino buff attacks

Fixed female Aberrant Boas receiving the wrong non-Aberrant material

Fixed Aberrant Salmon receiving the wrong non-Aberrant material

Fixed Valyrian Reins buff not effecting Valguero Wyverns after server restart

Fixed BD Speed Rock Drake not showing crosshair for pouncing when equipped with Tek Saddle

Adjustments to Bigfoot weapon socket.
Bigfoot now properly shows equipped weapon skins, thanks to Lethal for finding the key (note, there's still something funky that goes on with the sword skins where when equipping one after having another weapon equipped multiple/incorrect meshes will be shown. This gets corrected as soon as the ape is un/re-rendered)
Gave Bigfoot dedicated torch socket in off hand for torch equipped on ape saddle

Angler Fish can now be harvested for 25 Angler Gel every 30 minutes via radial menu

Removed majority of Ik changes to Rex pending rework

New Ini Options:

PreventAnglerGelHarvest=
AnglerGelInterval= (Float in seconds, defaults to 1800 (30 minutes))

V 10.6

Added BD Buff to Valguero Ice Wyvern.
Ice Wverns will now display whether they are the Ragnarok or Valguero varients
Fixed Valguero Ice Wyvern Dino Entry (white box)
Valguero Ice Wyvern now able to be equipped with Valyrian Reins
Added option to convert Ice Wyverns between Ragnarok and Valguero varients. Please note a couple of caveats with this: Attempting to convert Ragnarok to Valguero or vice versa if you do not have the relevant map installed will most likely see the Wyvern get deleted. I will work on a solution for this, it was a quick and dirty implementation. On sever restart your Wyvern will be changed to be the varient of whatever map you are on regardless. On maps other than Valg or Rag they will most likely be changed into Ragnarok as this is the version that will get loaded first. Functionally it does not matter, both Wyverns are identical in every way (apart from an incorrect Dino Tag on the Valguero varient) this is just a way to ensure that all your Wyverns are matched for the purposes of mating/mate boosts etc. Yes it's convoluted, yes it's a mess, thanks WC, add the Ice Wyvern to the bloody base game already.

Remapped Moth Eggs to be able to be used to make Regular Kibble (same name remap so current eggs will be affected)
Changed description of Moth Eggs to say Lymantria Egg
Corrected spelling of description on Scorpion Venom

Fixed Manta reciving correct Affinity from Regular Kibble

Added Deinonychus Latch points to Better Trike

Fixed Single Player No Build after re-logging bug with Raft Extensions

Made BD Speed Rock Drakes Immune to Radiation

Converting a dino whilst still a baby will now carry forward all imprinting times, comfort food, cuddle type etc.

Prevented Mammal Milk from working on Rock Drakes and Wyverns

New Ini Options:

PhiomiaMilkInterval= (Float in seconds, default is 2700 (45 minutes))
DeerMilkInterval= (Float in seconds, default is 1800 (30 minutes))
SheepMilkInterval= (Float in seconds, default is 1800 (30 minutes))
WyvernMilkInterval= (Float in seconds, default is 7200 (2 hours))

V 10.5

Added BD Speed versions of Rock Drake and Snow Owl
Added (BD Speed) tag to all BD Speed enabled flyers

Fixed some buffs not being re-applied on server restart

Re-work of Valyrian Reins:
Now able to be equipped on saddles as a skin
Reduced base speed increase for Quetz to 1.25
Now slightly increase the walking rotation rate and speed of Rock Drakes

New Items:
Zombie Wyvern Costume:
Will be dropped by Alpha Wyverns
Has the speed increase and rotational increasing effects of a set of Durability 10 Valyrian Reins
Does not provide armour, but will provide a 20% damage resist and increase buff
Will work on all vanilla Wyverns and will retain the colouration of the original Wyvern. Can be used on modded Wyverns that use the vanilla skeletal meshes and naming conventions (it works by totally swapping the mesh and therefore may mess up some modded dinos that have additional sockets etc.

Corrupted Dino Costume:
Engram learnable at level 50, crafted with Corrupted Polymer, Toughened Hide, Silicate and Element Dust
Can be worn by any dinos that have a corrupted form
Will retain the dinos original colours, Rock Drakes will retain their feathers
When worn the costume will gradually lose durability, keep corrupted polymer in the dinos inventory to prevent this, it will consume 1 polymer every two minutes.
Whilst wearing the corrupted costume, the targeting range of all wild corrupted creatures is reduced to 1000 (about 3.3 foundations) and your dino will receive 40% less damage from wild corrupted dinos.
Ini option to prevent the buff and have the costume as purely cosmetic.
Works by totally swapping the mesh of the dino wearing it so caution should be used if equipping on a non-vanilla or non-BD dino as it may have an inadvertant effect on attack sockets, resizing the mesh etc.

Fixed Crab being unable to carry with right claw when using regular saddle.

Fixed basilisk super fast breeding.

Added ability to stand on the back of RockDrakes

All ridable remapped BD Dinos now display the BD Icon when ridden

All dinos without a costume slot now have one added via buff.

Removed collision from Owls tail feathers
Gave Owl Carnivores_Medium_PlayersorTamed targeting team to prevent them pointlessly attacking every wild dino

New Ini Options:

ReinsBlackList=Wyvern,Argent,Ptera,Quetz,Moth,Pela,Tapejara,RockDrake,Griffin,Owl,Managarmr,GasBags
CorruptedCostumeNoBuff= (set to true to make the Corrupted Costume purely cosmetic and not require Corrupted Polymer to prevent degradation)
PreventZombieCostume= (set to true to prevent Alpha Wverns dropping Zombie Wyvern costumes)

V: 10.2

Better Griffin:

Gendered, Breedable (gestation)
Bred Griffins receive up to 20% speed increase with Imprinting
Griffin will only receive up to 15% health increase with imprinting (this is because their base health is 900 higher than their tamed health, they lose it when tamed but the Imprinting will factor it in)
Removed FPS shredding hover particles of doom.
Fixed janky stuttering unridden movement.
Increased claw attack damage from 27 to 32
Increased AI Attack Rotation rate Modifier to 3x
Increased Dive Velocity to 4.5 from 4.0
Now able to carry dinos whilst diving.
Changed targeting Team to Only target players and tamed to prevent wild Griffins from pointlessly attacking every wild dino they see.

Rock Drakes now have better harvest components with more meat, prime meat and drop toughened Hide.
Rock Drakes can now drop Valyrian Reins

Reduced Valyrian Reins velocity increase for owls and Griffins from 2x to 1.5x
Reduced max quality of Valyrian Reins dropped from Wild Wyverns/Drakes

Ptera, Argent, Quetz, Moth, Pelagornis all now able to walk backwards
Better Moth now able to strafe while flying
Better Moth now receives up to 20% Speed and Stamina increase with imprinting, but removed imprint increase to Melee Damage.

Better Karkinos now uses same method of carrying passengers in its Right Claw as it does in its Left Claw when tamed.

Baby Titanoboas now able to eat regular meat. Will still only be able to eat eggs as adults.

Moved location of Scorpion Poop socket, prevented Scorpion from producing poop.

Fixed Basilisk overspawning issue on Aberration

New Ini Options:

PreventBetterGriffin=
PreventGriffinGenders=
PreventGriffinMating=
AllowRockDrakeMating= (False by default, set to True to enable Rock Drake Breeding)
AllowFlyerSpeed=

By setting AllowFlyerSpeed to True, you will gain the ability to manually convert Wyverns, Argents, Pteranodons, Moths, Griffins, Tapejaras, and Pelagornis' into versions that are able to be levelled in Speed. All converted speed enabled Flyers will gain 2% speed per level, and will gain up to 20% speed from imprinting. Converted Speed Flyers are unique classes to the BD mod, and therefore if removing the mod they will be lost, however you will have the ability to convert them back to Vanilla/Better at any time. Doing so will see any points put into speed refunded. Setting AllowFlyerSpeed to False after already having it set to True will see converted Speed Flyers automatically converted back to Vanilla/Better and points spent into speed refunded. All Speed enabled Flyers also retain all their original BD Buffs.
