THIS MOD IS AMAZING!!! Made a quick video, not bashing on it at all (though it may seem) just added the dragon getting stuck as a bit of a humorous part :laugh.gif: This is still an amazing mod though and I hope it succeeds with future updates.
Cool mod, but I think that they shouldn't be able to find you in your home. Also, it would be awesome if they had lairs with loot all around them and such!
@Torisim
Great video! Never seen a dragon get stuck in dirt... taken note! and a bug I have noticed a lot is that the "non-violent" version (once it sees the entity it will become hostile) get stuck, the hostile version, since it is aiming for one certain point, will also get stuck. Working on this tonight, hopefully a if(iscollide) will fix these issues!
Looks pretty good, although I don't see how fire can burn through solid stone.
it technically doesnt, if you read the current features it says there is a 1/50 chance one of the flames will create a 2x2 explosion, making it "burn" through.
I think you should remove the arrow mod from it because you are using an adf.ly link.
removed everything with Risugamis Arrow Mod, if you find something that I missed let me know, I dont want a problem with Risugami
At first I thought this was fake but then... How long have you been working on this?
Ohhh most of August! I wanted to do a castle defender mod, but was a little to difficult, learned about Techne in inlanoche's tutorials and got inspired to create a dragon!
First of all, congratulations, I really enjoy this mod already. The dragons are FUN to fight.
The first time I ran into one, I was like, omg, this is impossible, they are way over powered. Then I cheated myself some diamond armor, a diamond sword and a ****-ton of arrows and set to fighting a beast. Running from tree to tree as each one exploded into flame above my head was a rush. At one point I tried to hide by digging underground, but the beast started blowing up the entrance even though it could not see me. I liked that behavior. But I liked the fact that I was able to take them down without too much trouble when I had the right equipment. It makes the superfine diamond armor worth it. if I was playing without cheating, my character would definitely head underground like a mole and not return until he had the proper equipment.
Bugs:
lag. The fire arrow storms gave me massive lag.
When dragons went into ground mode there would suddenly be two dragon mobs on top of each other, each reacting differently.
I don't know if this is a bug, but one time a dragon landed on a tree and went into ground mode before I had even attacked it.
Also, you may want to make the dragons immune to fire. Most of the time they killed themselves by landing in their own blazes once I had wounded them to the ground.

Exactly the feedback Im looking for! Others take note!
First on your experience, awesome! Thats exactly what I was aiming for! This is defiantly a Tier 3 monster as I would put it (T1 wood/cobble, T2 Iron/Gold T3 Diamond), and I even have trouble fighting it with full diamond! with NPC villages coming, I think it will be really cool, coming in seeing blown up buildings and houses on fire
onto bugs...
Fire- I have never really had problems with the fire resulting in lag... I am tuning down how often the flames will catch fire to the ground, lower it to something where it still catches fire to everything, but not to a point where every arrow catches everything on fire
Ground version
First one might take some time to fix as I did come up with this bug as well, idk why 2 spawn, ill look into it tonight tho
secondly, yeah when it hits the ground it evolves into the ground version, sometimes they will accidentally hit a tree and do that automatically, this will be fixed tonight
Immune to fire- yes I had this problem as well but I honestly have no idea how to fix that, its really annoying as they will spurt fire then run into it and die, ill look at the firecode and see how I can fix that... actually just got an idea that should work!
Ill be updating it tonight to get rid of a lot of these bugs, check in a couple of hours
EDIT: so ive been working on this thing all night and I got rid of some bugs and now the dragons wont breathe fire... wtf so im off to bed, will try to update it tomorrow night, 7 hour Drive for me from LA to SF.. yay...
thatsgerman2010, some suggestions for next update(s):
-Possibly an underground lair from which the dragon spawns in and flies out from (returns at night if no target is there i guess).
-A hunger system used by the dragons- so they could maybe hunt some animals to fill their hunger as well as the human entity. ^I think this could really turn into something special when 1.8 comes out since the animals get some self-preserving behavior.
I think this mod could really turn into something good once you develop it some more, especially since you just started in the modding scene.

this is awesome one thing though i dont know how possible this is to fix but when the dragon is on the ground chasing you it runs through its own fire and baisicly kills itself
off all days! editing some things, trying to get rid of risugamis arrows mod and fix the texture thing, then will repost again
tested it again and works
v0.1b

Good Luck with the production!

Like I said in earlier comments I will change it as soon as I find a way to change to Topic name, I know its possible I just need to find out how!

I am suggesting Lion Roars for your sound effects, preferably different ones for when when it was being hit and when it wasn't:
