Faster Flyers By EddyChomps

Description
Faster Flyers

As the name suggests it's Flyers that are Faster.

Mod ID: 1587391872
Version 1.9

Now includes R variants and Astrodelphis

Must be first in mod order.

If spawning via command you must use the long spawn code (Please see spawn code discussion). GMSummon will give you a vanilla dino.


The Idea behind this mod is to bring back some of the classic awesomeness to making flyers faster, but to prevent them from becoming overpoweringly fast.

Currently this mod includes modifications to the Argentavis, X-Argentavis, Griffin, Pteranodon, Quetz, R-Quetz, Tek Quetz, Snow Owl, R-Snow Owl, Lymantria, Pelagornis, Phoenix, X-Tapejara, Tapejara, Tropeo, Astrodelphis and Wyverns.

Attention

Wyverns only have there turning radius and auto air braking added. They do not have any speed additions. This is done via a buff added to them on spawn so please use vanilla spawn codes when manually spawning them.

Most flyers can level speed but stats are clamped a predetermined percentage. No need to worry about wasting points, as when max level is reached you can no longer add any points to speed.

Also no more getting thrown off a cliff when you dismount. You just stand up on the dino’s back.

Argy, Snow Owls, and Tapejara now allow use of weapons while mounted.

Almost all can walk backwards on the ground to back out of tight parking spots.

Almost all flyers get some imprinting bonus to speed and some get bonuses to stamina as well. In order to obtain the max intended speed the flyer must have a full imprinting bonus.

The Griffin now has genders and can be bred. (Gives birth to live babies)
There is also a Griffin Saddle craft-able in your inventory. (I do not have a mesh for it)
This Saddle can be disabled via INI. Setting the following to True will remove saddle slot from Griffin
[FasterFlyers]
DisableGriffinSaddle=False

Snow Owl, Pelagornis and Argy can now run on the ground when you are mounted.

The Phoenix now has air braking and backwards flight and is less fiery for better visibility. (Adding breeding is not something I plan on doing.) Since the Phoenix will only normally spawn on maps with superheat, the normal spawn code will spawn it but will not be visible unless there is a super heat so it may not easily work on many maps, so there is a second spawn code option but they spawn above your head at a random level with the second option.

I have added some more color options for most flyers to spawn in. They are a more rare spawn and at level 100 and up.

Current Imprinting Bonuses:
Argentavis: 40% speed
Gryphon: 30% stam, 25% speed
Lymantria: 20% stam, 40% speed
Pteranodon: 30% stam, 20% speed
All Quetzals: 40% speed
All Snow Owls: 10% stam, 40% speed
Tapejara: 30% stam, 5% Speed
Pelagornis: 30% stam, 20% speed
Tropeo: 20% Speed
Astrodelphis: 20% speed

It is planned of sorts as it will probably include all creatures. I still have to see if the system I used works in ASA but it is not a high priority.

Is it possible to add this awesome mod to ARK Ascended
Meik Teison 13 Nov, 2023 @ 8:04am 
I liked it

I can't wait to see your mod on ASA.

what about the saddles for these dragons?

This mod is exactly what I was looking for! Plus it has other helpful modifications besides the speed that I'd honestly like in the vanilla game.

I brought some Flyer to another Server, also with your mod installed and there is no way to mount them. I don't know why?

@Fonti That is something I was unaware of and will look into it.

Hey, did you notice the inability to freeze wild dinos with the modded owls ?
Is there any fix for that ?

What about the astrocetus
