I think the flame particles should be bigger. They're a little...underwhelming.

Hello Phaytx! First of all I just want to thank you very much for the mod, amazing!! Well, I have a few easy questions (I think you already have answered them in other posts but I don't have time to read all other user comments). 1- The size of the dragon. Will be this size like the Rexes and similar to Spinos? 2- The head animation of the dragon, when you are mounted and see the dragon in your front, moving the mouse to the sides, you can see that its head animation is fluid enough. You can test it in other dinos when mounted, it's clear you can see that there is a "distortion"... anyway. 3- Health started with only 900 for a Lvl 1 Dragon, that's too little for a badass dragon, I think you should increase its base health :P. 3- Its flying animation will stand as the Pteranodons? Like, I see that the Dragon uses the same flying as the Pteranodos I think... I'm not sure if I'm right at this point, but with the big Dragon, the boos one you know? Its animation is different. You know that. Well, I focused a little bit in the animations in general, but that's it my friend! Thanks again for making the dragons available to us hahah :D

Thanks for the support! Ok, lets answer some questions: 1. It is as big as it will get. This dragon is meant to be more of a personal sized dragon, more natural I believe. It's roughly smaller than the Rex height. 2. I have noticed the twitch is has, and the non fluidness that you speak of. I will be making additional passes at this soon. This requires a great deal of testing to get it just right, and have been more focused on content and features. 3. Health is pretty good right now, ive tried it higher and it becomes wayyyy to much, its pretty balanced right now, imagine, your basically a rex that can fly and breath fire, having basically unlimited health to boot naturally will be bad :P 4 It does use a modified form that the ptero/argent use, so it has similar mechanics to them, only difference is this BaseAnimBP supports running/swimming etc. As far as the animations between the big one and this, the files are the same, although some of the settings might need adjusting seeing as they were originally set for the giant one. Hope this clears up some stuff! Thanks again for the support! <3

No worries man, glad I can help! I love dragons, and love the devkit. This will most definitely be updated regularly. Can't wait for the devkit to get more stuff, be expecting baby dragons as soon as I can. :)

Just a small suggestion but with the color regions have you ever thought of having the horns, claws, and other protrusions of its bodies? I't something that hasnt really been done with the other mods and having th e horns have the same colors kinda feels off ya know?

The color scheme you are seeing now, is my first real pass at it. I will be doing more detail work, mainly centered around giving more accent markings, that correspond with the main accent markers, I.E the wings/eye/largescales on its sides. More to come :)

That's awesome man! Thank you very much for making this possible to us! Thanks for anwsering all my questions ^^

P.S: While I was playing, I noticed that the HEALTH REGEN and the DEFENSE of the Dragon are two very low attributes he has. What can you tell me about it? I mean, he takes high damage from other dinos and his health doesn't regen fast as the other dinos. :/

I'll be doing a stat balancing adjustment shortly, I'll take a look into it's health regen. As far as defense goes, your dinos gain defense from thier armor, which the dragon lacks because of not having a saddle. :P

Not sure if it's more of a bug or not, but its not a mod brekaing "bug" so ill put it here.
The animation while flying striaght, doesn't flap his wings at all unless you turn, even flying up.
I can understand not needing to flap too often going forward when not "sprinting" but not all even when going up is a bit silly lol.

Also when you run out of stamina you can still fly/attack just not breath fire or sprint.

And as a sidenote, is the HP dropping down to 10% of the value from when initially tamed, to next launch intended? For example when I tamed first dragon (lv 17) it had 15k hp. Upon reloading game it had 1.5k hp. I'd say it keeps him balanced so hes not uberly tanky specialy with that fire breath anyway. Just wondering if it's possible to fix it from having the larger hp after being tamed or not, if it is intended.

Other then that it's a awesome mod and I love it. :steamhappy:

Hey! This mod is amazing and I'm loving it. A few things I'd love to personally see is to have them fly around wild, as well as getting them bloody. I don't think that dragons should be set as aggressive, but as territorial.
