good idea let me edit it a bit ur dragon doesnt eat dead corpses it it eats fresh meat and if its full it will bring u cooked meat but u can talk to it and let it hunt and that will make hunting easy so now a new idea dragons use to be able to only grow to a certan size in the books they can grow forever thats not what i mean so what i am thinking is every say 50000 ticks your dragon will grow just a little but i will eventualy reach a very large size maby a 16 block wingspan and 4 tall so pretty big so u can have a large dragon and at full size u right click its tail so u can climb up to its back and in the books saphirea was a large dragon but not the size of beglabad he had an 80 foot skull thats WAY too much to render thats like 20 blocks in the skull alone and at any size u can have ur dragon spit out its eldunari

the longer u wait the more powerful the eldunari is

I said have the dragons eat THEIR kills. A corpse lying on the ground that was JUST killed IS fresh. The dragons can't grow forever, that would never work. Also, if you're going to post a comment, can you at least be literate? You have absolutely no punctuation and many other mistakes that make it less enjoyable to read.

Mod "authors?" What exactly sucks about them? I'm sure if you put in some details, (Unless you said they suck without considering your moronic words) I'm sure they can improve themselves to your liking. What is dead about about anything here? This is actually a pretty active forum. I really may be misunderstanding you since you don't include details. If I seem rude, it's because I support the amazing modding team thing. (I don't know if a modding team has a certain name other than modding team.)

I just had an idea. Since in the books Saphira can hunt for herself, the dragons could hunt. Instead of animals evaporating when they die, it could have the animal just lay on it's side. You could have an option for dragons to hunt when they're low on health, and an option for them to eat their kills. If you break down the dead animal, it will just give you the meat and other drops. Since I don't know the limitations of modding, I don't expect it to be added.

I posted a similar idea back on the old thread, and I still want it, too! Your idea is a bit more refined, though. Hopefully this will be added. It'll give a bit more emersion to the mod, when released.

I don't see how they 'suck'. They have lives, and can't spend all there time working on the mod. To pass the time, I enjoy messing around with Dragon Mounts, which is similar, in a way. However, I DO think that they should at least comment on the forums, and let us know what is going on every week or two. It doesn't have to be everyday, but every know and then will reassure a lot of people.

No Sir, we do not suck. While we have dedicated our time and effort to working on the mod, we also have lives. I have other responsibilities to my family that I must take care of before being able to work on this mod. I have said this life happens. We are trying our hardest to get this mod out to you but in order to do that, we need to have free time. All we need is some patience. I know it's been a while now and it is way past when it should be out but I can't help that. Insulting us does nothing. We have been waiting of models of Dragons for the past 3 months because we need them to start coding. It's not just cause we are "lazy" we have serious setbacks. I don't appreciate the insult but you have to know we are trying our hardest.

I have an idea. Do you remember when saphira made eragon fly with her when he was afraid to, because he skinned his legs the first flight he had with her in book 1. She pulled him into her mind, it be cool if you could do that in the form of a extra camera view while flying, or toggle to the dragons mind and walk around as the dragon while you body is idle. And Every one who is reviving this mod (for the 3rd time) IS AWESOME! I look forward to the future updates.

That is an awesome idea! So, what you're saying is that instead of passive mobs killed by the dragon disappearing, they either convert into meat, they are cooked, then taken to the player, or they convert into the health bar?

And I respect you guys for that.

Great idea!

(Note: I am not a mod author, just a very, VERY, vocal commentator.)

I have an idea! There should be a Shur'tugal mod menu, that can modify a dragons behaviour, with toggles and stuff. e.g when you are against a horde of enemies and have come down to 1.5 hearts, the dragon can either swoop down and grab you to fly away, or swoop in and grab the enemies, flying in high, then dropping them, but that can be toggled to your needs in the menu.
Also, but this might be a bit much, if you implement the feature of being picked up by a dragon, can you make your players arms spread out and the claws of the dragon close around them?

If you truly believe that then you are the shuckiest shuck face that ever shucked. #mazerunner. Idc when this mod comes out because when it does ill be ready to mess around in mc looking for dragons :D. Good luck guys!

Thank you SO MUCH for reviving the mod. Its my favorite of all of them, and when the original was discontinued, I had forgot to visit and see if anyone revived it until I was playing the old version today.

A'ight guys, time for a quick little update on life. School's coming to a close and I will be able to focus more on the mod. Finals are almost here and once those pass a chunk of my time will be devoted to programming the mod.

For those who are Seniors and are graduating from school or have, good luck out there!

I have a suggestion. Could you possibly make elven and dwarven villages, as well as replace villages with human villages? You could also add armor and weapons for both. For example, Humans would sell you normal iron and chain armor as well as iron swords and bows, Dwarves would sell you dwarven armor and battleaxes, and Elves would sell diamond and elven armor and weapons, as well as allow you to enchant to higher levels with the uncraftable elven enchantment table. (Found in elven libraries) You could also make crafting a brightsteel sword harder, as well as amp up the strength of them, since the only reason I'd get one is because they have unlimited uses. For example, after you smelt the ore you have to craft six 'hard steel edges' and three 'soft steel rods.' (The first recipe could be done by putting two brightsteel ingots diagonal like flint and steel, and the other by making a vertical line down the middle of the crafting grid. Both would yield three of their kind) Then you could smelt the edges and rods so they are 'heated hard steel edges' and 'heated soft steel rods'. Then by making a blade with the rods in the vertical middle of the crafting grid and edges next to them, you would make a blade. To make the hilt, you need three iron ingots in the top horizontal section, a stick with leather on both horizontal sides below that, with a diamond on the bottom spot in the middle to craft a hilt. Then by combining the hilt with the blade on top of it in the crafting table, with a dragon scale on top of the blade, you get the sword, which now deals +8 combat damage. I hope this helps

good idea heres my version you need to make a steelforge table witch would be about two blocks long a clear space underneath and the only way to access it is by using a hammer so you get a brightsteel furnace thet melts things down using lava or dragonflame well i explaineed that a while ago you pour that into panels that took small portions you get glasses or somthing like that thai allow you to judge the quality of the brightsteel each ore makes four to six panels of the metal and the chance of good qualtiy metal would be like say 2 in every seven batches so you have a decent chance of geting the kind you can forge so you make the blade by geting a bucket of brightsteel the better you use the better the blade so than you do the same thing BUT with a dragon scale of YOUR dragon so when you mix them you get a colored blade and an iron ingot and eight leather to make the grip an eldunari and four gold nuggets for the pommel and diamonds infused with you dragons scales you need one of them made with a diamond and a bucket of melted dragon scale in a crafting bench so that and two gold ingots to the right and left of it makes the guard and shapelessly put the three hilt pieces together to make the well hilt and combine that with the blade and you get a sword

well i may make mistakes but that makes you seem somewhat like you never make mistakes but everyone makes mistakes and i said that it couldn't grow forever i said possibly four by ten by sixteen sou may have not seen that part but i didn't see the THEIR kills part geezwow i cant type today

in what order do you want to release the mod updates?

silent

Alright guys. The time is almost near for the first release of Shurtugal! I've updated the mod and nearly finished coded up the armor (again). The plan is to have it up by tomorrow afternoon at which we should have something presentable to show we are progressing. There will be no dragons in this update. For many of the items (scales and Brightsteel) you'll have to swap over to creative because we don't have the tree that the ores spawn under yet and scales we don't have any dragons for you to kill.

But yes. Tomorrow is the planned release day if there are no stupid export problems like there were last time that mugged up the release.

Nice, i can't wait to tomorrow

By "tomorrow," I meant today. I forgot I typed that at 3AM this morning.
