Animal Hunger in Uox3.ini

Post by stranf »

First off I'd like to say I really like Grimson's hunger routines and the fact that we can now feed our pets; however, since my shard is generally populated on average with 2 PCs at a time, I've noticed the animals tend to eat each other off.

Especially in Britain, the dogs don't chase the cats, they face them off and butcher them. It's like a furry guild war going on non-stop.

What I suggest is that we place a flag in the UOx3.ini. For those who want to disable the animal hunger timer they could do so. (personally I don't' want to edit all of the .dfn values......I actually like feeding pets and the like, I just want to disable the animals attacking each other.) Another, probably more feasible, alternative is to adjust the animal-hunger timer in the UOx3.ini.

If the animals use the same hunger timer as the PCs, then that could explain half my problems. Since my players generally play for around 2-3 hours at a time, we have the hunger-timer pretty low so we actually have to eat during a gaming session.

Anyways, as always keep up the good work, and it in a few weeks I look forward to contributing more.
