Dragon Taming

Post by Osprey »

Can you tame Dragons? I attempted to and it gave me a message like "That does not look like an animal" or some such - I wasn't hanging around to find out! :)

Your UOX3 Version V.0.98-3.7
Your Razor Version V.1.0.11.
Your UO Client Version 6.0.9.2 (Patch 70).
Exactly what steps led up to your specific problem - I went to Destard and attempted to tame a Dragon.
Have you re-started the server? No
Has this happened multiple times / to multiple people? No
Anything else of importance.

I'll quote myself from another reply I made to a different bug-report of yours :)

Backup the stuff you've done already (custom dfns, scripts, accounts, the shared folder which holds data for all items and npcs) and just replace your entire UOX3 folder with the experimental one.
This specific issue is fixed in that version.

It still says "That doesn't look much like an animal".

Hmmm. That's weird. I'll check into it as soon as I can. Try adding a line saying ANIMAL to the various dragons and drakes in DFNDATA\CREATURES\creatures.dfn, and see if that helps.

I thought I had changed the code to not look for that tag when it came to taming, but perhaps I messed up somewhere.

Actually I think that it was me that messed up - it's kind of embarassing so we'll just say I messed up! OK?

OK I got it working, I have tamed a dragon (it bit me and turned me criminal, couldn't repeat it) but how/where do I stable it? I tried the stables in the Britain farmland but no go. Is there a special command that I have forgotten?

I'm not sure if Stabeling works...I wouldn't know because I"m pre-1999 OSI school.

Basically go to the stable you want, tell the beast to "stay" and he will stay there. Just like in the good o'l days. Works better in a house, that way a PC or wandering monster won't kill it. But you have a Dragon, so chances of that are slim.

Is stabeling supposed to vanish the monster then it comes back when you log in or something?

IIRC you go to a stable master (NPC) and tell him to stable a pet, it then vanishes from the world. Later you can return to the stable master and release a pet (for a fee) if you want to use it.
