Dragons, ideas. community collaberation page

[Sushiy (aka Kwink007) 103]

That said, I dislike the hydra/scylla idea. The models and hitboxes would be ridiculous

oh haha yeah imagine trying to code the hitbox with every single head n stuff:D haha bet that's pretty annoying..

...only 3 strongholds generate per world. Ever. It's a set value. It's not like a game saying 'health pickups only spawn 0.00001% of the time', it's more like 'here's 10 health kits. There are no pickups. I'd avoid monsters if I were you'. So strongholds can't really be said to be 'rare'.

Oh hey i didn't know that!! But now that i DO :

i think that's how the dragons should be handled...

There should be a finite number of dragons...maybe 2 or 3 maybe even only 1 !!!

even if they were added...this mod is not about dragons...so they should really only play a very minor role I think!

and if there is a finite number than it stays more interesting to meet one because you know...it's only one of 3 dragons generated in the world and you obviously got really lucky to meet him!

I agree with Dunk's statement that one should be in the arctic circle!

• I like this, because it would be a good reason to actually venture out to the arctic circle. Even if just to get some neat item's and go back.

Another one could be put in a underground cave system as was stated above!

• This would be nice because it would make caves even more interesting!! i love the design..but as there are no ores generated in their walls usually, except for a shitload of mobs there's nothing to gain from them! (oh okay...you do get a really awesome place to build sth of course..)

I haven't really decided for myself where I would put the last one,

• jungles sound nice....aand oceans too...but i think actually the latter one....a dragon hoard in a "cave" under the sea would be really awesome and REALLY hard to find!!

so yeah..that's how i feel it should be!

Implement them! i'd love it!! but make it so that the SEARCH for the dragon is really really really hard!!

maybe make them leave traces here and there around their chunk so that you know you're getting kinda close...that'd would make it even more fun to search i assume...

Oh and about hostile or nice dragon:

i think it should be similar to npcs in dark souls:D if anyone has played it..

You can gain a lot of benefits from them...for example trading gems in for metals over your tech level or armor/weapons/tools/special items...

But you can also choose to kill them...get one or two special dragon items and get to steal their stuff (but not too much)

and then they're gone...

Depends on you which route your gonna take...and it would add an interesting aspect to multiplayer where people could actually choose to serve as a dragon guarding faction, which has a base at or near the dragon's lair! They could defend the dragon from aggressors or thiefs!

Edit: Oh and for the sake of strength balancing maybe they could have a strength parameter added in the config file..

For SSP it should be low enough to take them on alone (i know you (dunk and bioxx) dont like SSP but some people do;) ) when you have very high tier equipment and are well prepared.

But that would be way to easy for SMP so just add a multiplier that would increase the dragons attack strength and HP.

So if you have a 20 slot server you might set the multiplier to 20 maybe to make it really hard to take him down even for groups!

heh if i tried to make a doodle of a dragon, it would end up being a line with a few lines for legs and maybe a line or two as wings

im guessing you aren't artisticaly challenged like me?

T-rex with horns and wings. Frankly I think it's badass.

it's not quite a t-rex, but I did base some of the skull design on them.

I would also like to point out (it might not be clear) that it is rearing on it's back legs, they will be quadrapedal

but will they blend?

[Azdoine 218]

That depends. What tier metal are you using for the rotor, and how many RedstoneWatts are powering you blender?

[Ryuugumo 88]

tin and 5 microwatts

[Srgnoodles 1,030]

well then again, we'd need a friggin huge blender to blend an entire dragon, but if we do,

DRAGON SMOOTHIES FOR EVERYONE!!!!

[Azdoine 218]

Ryu, are you trying to crush the dragon or the blender?

[Treyflix 277]

I'm talking about the three posts in a row you made, saying the exact same thing... ._.

[dunkleosteus 2,425]

Thank you treyflix, but I know what I drew, and i like it the way it is. I also suck at drawing ram horns, but that's beside the point.

[Treyflix 277]

WTF forums? I'm really sorry for triple posting gus :0

No need cause the dragon already crushed the blender when I tried to put him in it.
