Black Draedon TEST

Description
Test Version (runs fine):
I try to improve the Black Draedon mod (see here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=793456244 ). I will do changes to the mod in this version first, so the other one could stay stable. Use this one only if you want to experiment and contribute to this mod.
Also new is the abillity to glide from cliffs with the Black Draedon by holding the jump button, I am still balancing the mechanics here (falling speed, gravity, distance...).
The parasitic behavior bug is fixed.


The Mod:
Adds a new version of the Mantis to the game, the Black Draedon. His stats are improved, he can jump now and glide like the Terror Bird (hold the jump button), he can craft stuctures in the saddle and his first attack will do torpor damage and harvest cementing paste the same way the Beelzebuffo does (he still farms fiber). Not convinced? The Black Draedon also comes in a dangerous black and red skin.
Black Draedons are as predecessors of the worker ants capable of carrying many times their own body weight, so the wood, stone, thatch, fiber and metal weights less.

Taming:
Tranquillize the Black Draedon and feed him spoiled meat or, even better, Pulmonoscorpius kibble to tame.

Saddle:
The Black Draedon saddle is available with level 25, it contains a smithy to build some wood, stone and adobe structures as well as a metal hatchet and pick. The adobe structures are build of stone instead of clay, so they will be compatible with The Island map.

Spawning:
The Black Draedon spawns in the mountain regions in The Island and in Scorched Earth.
The spawning areas may not work properly with other dino mods: if another mod changes the mountain region spawn entries, the mod higher in load order "wins" and the dinos of the lower mod will not spawn. If so the spawning command still works:
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/Draedon/Draedon_Character_BP.Draedon_Character_BP'" 1 1 1 120

Compability:
I tried this out with lots of other mods, no problems so far (besides the spawning conflicts mentioned above). Please post any compability issues you notice.

Stuff I try to change / fix:
The stats get after first saving and reloading the game a boost, depending on the level of the Black Draedon. For level 120 the stats go about 1/3 up, for level 1200 they are about 5 times higher (the health takes a long time to restore then). Dont know where to change that for now.
I am working on the possibility to breed Black Draedons.
Please post bugs you notice and propose stuff you whish the Black Draedon to do :-)

theirs not to many the one mountain range seems to be their only home which is kinda perfect since they seem to exclusively lay eggs by hijacking other dinos fertile eggs if they were anywhere else i dint think they could lay at all

@ninjapigg parasite babies, awesome idea. if i cant fix the bug i will sell it as special feature of the draedon ;-)
if there are too many draedons spawning in the valley i can turn the spawn rate down a little
Hobgoblino the III 22 Dec, 2016 @ 5:30am 
i have a idea what if the idea is they lay like parasite babies that hatch in other dinos eggs :P
and the eggs are fertile and were incubating fine i did not ge ttime to finish the hatch their were it may be beacause their were like 20 draedons on the mountain near the wyvern valley
