If I want my dog to kill a zombie, it costs me about 4 pork chops. Maybe it would be overpowered, i dunno really.
No way its overpowered haha. Specially for how I had mentioned above as people only having one wolf at a time.
Quote from Ejvind »
The two extra slots wouldn't work. What if you have more then one wolf, you get 10 free armoured wolves?
It should work like the guinea pigs in the mod. You right click them holding boots, whatever, and it gives them full armour OF THAT TYPE. Unless you want your inventory screen to have 15 of those little bars to the left..
Like I just mentioned this idea is mainly built around the premises that people only have one wolf at a time. I said in my post that my server is only letting people have one wolf at a time.
Notch,
If your reading this then first I'm sorry for the broken English in the tweet had to lower the count for it to be accepted, and Secondly, thank you so much for coming here. I explain below why we need armor, and by the way I'm extremely satisfied with with the wolves thank you so much! I keep hearing from the people at bukkit that to have armor we might need a client side mod. I figured that having you implement it in an update might be a lot easier than trying to get every person that joins a server to mod their client. Thank you so much for your time and I hope the below is helpful and you accept it.
Hello I am Joker and I would like to suggest that armor be added to wolves.
Note: I have multiple ideas on this, some ranging from rather simple others to extreme complexity.
The Idea: Wolves with Protective Armoring.
I personally would like armor to be put on wolves because I am player on a pvp server that is limiting people to one wolf per person. If anyone is like me they will probably getting even the smallest hint of a personal attachment to the wolf and therefore will want them to stay alive. This also needs to be implemented because wolves themselves do not have a very smart path finding system meaning they are prone to drowning, burning in lava, and doing the Wiley Coyote off the mountain side. Also pvp itself for me will be a problem because destruction happy lunatics will make their way to my pup and go Texas Chainsaw Massacre on them while wearing their previous targets pelt as a nice furry cap. So in conclusion its a dangerous world out there for the furry friends and they need a new lease on life.
So here is how it could be done! First, how is it going to be made?
Well we can do it one of two ways.
1. Armor for wolves could simply be the regular player armor. *I'm thinking that only the chestpiece and helmet will fit him, plus what wolf like booties?
2. A special armor just for them. *Still only chestpiece and helmet.
* As a demonstration this could be a recipe for the helmet.
Then we have to consider will the armor have different levels like, Leather, Iron, Gold, Diamond?
For this I have no real opinion. I will just say that I would like wolves to be able to withstand two extra hits from a diamond sword than a non-armored wolf. So we can either have a wolf wearing diamond armor that can withstand the barrage while a leather wolf gets decimated. Or we can have nothing but wolves donning the best leather armor you have ever seen, that can duke it out with the diamond patrol.
With that out of the way we have to decide, How will armor actually affect Mr. Wolf?
I really only think that there are two ways to do this but there might be more. Anway though this is how I think it can be done.
The Armor Armor:
This way of armor would give the wolves actual armor like it is seen on players, blocking a percentage amount of damage. (Based on type of armor, if we go that way). I'm no java expert but I'm thinking this would be the complex way to do it. If we do this we have to consider the usage on the armor as well. Being two ways of doing it.
1. Give armor a set amount of uses. Say let it take about 50 hearts of damage before breaking? (I have no concept of how armor usage actually works)
2. Giving armor the already set amount of usage based on the material it is made of. * Only plausible if we actually decide to have different types of armor.
The Heart Armor: ( I suggest we use this one!)
This armor would simply give wolves more health when equipped with armor! As you can see this method is much simpler and I'm guessing more easily done? I'll explain the math for you on this so that all you have to do is the coding for this. Only problem is then your armor is forever fresh and doesn't break, unless you die.
How it works.
Vanilla tamed wolves have 10 hearts this is enough to withstand 1 blow from a diamond sword which does 5 hearts of damage. 10-5=5/ 5-5= DEAD
So we have two things to work with Helmet and Chestpiece. One of these two ways is how it would go, depending on if we use multiple types of armor or just one armor.
1. Multiple type of armor:
Since a diamond sword does 5 hearts of damage, the wolf needs 10 extra hearts to survive 3 hits, the forth being the death blow.
20-15= 5 / 5= ALIVE (coincidental match with the drink, I think not!)
This means that the diamond armor for a wolf would provide 10 extra hearts. Then we would scale by "two"s for each drop in material of armor. The following is a chart for it.
* All hits a from a diamond sword!
Diamond = 20 hearts, can survive 3 hits!
Gold = 18 hearts, can survive 3 hits, but with less health, bow much?
Iron = 16 hearts, can survive 3 hits, but with much less health, oh were is MY wolf?
Leather = 14 hearts, can survive 2 hits, oh look he is dead!
_________________________________________________________________
Diamond Helmet = 4 hearts / Diamond Chestpiece= 6 hearts / Total= 20 hearts
Gold Helmet= 3 hearts / Gold Chestpiece= 5 hearts / Total= 18 hearts
Iron Helmet= 2 hearts / Iron Chestpiece= 4 hearts / Total= 16 hearts
Leather Helmet= 1 heart / Leather Chestpiece= 3 / Total= 14
2. Straight 20 Heart Armor:
*This would be used if we used the straight leather armor (only one type of armor)
Helmet = 4 hearts Chestpiece = 6 hearts
Yeah the last part of how all this would work!!! Now we must decide how Wolfy McWolferson gets his new diggs. What I would like to have is likely very complex and is either not possible or will take a lot of work. So I provide what I want, and then what I can stand.
1. I would like a bar next to the one in the users inventory that would be the wolf's armor slots. As you can see in this image the first bar is wolfies because he likes only chestpieces and helmets =)
But I will accept.
2. Holding the armor in my hand and then right clicking it onto the wolf.
If I left anything out please let me know by stating below and I'll edit the post to correct it presently. Please no flaming if you don't mind, if you don't like it then feel free to post so, but really this is a how it could be done not a should it be done type of post. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope very soon that this will become a part of reality!
So I guess I'm going to be the first person to post on your thread giving it props. I am supporting this one since it has a good grammatical title. So I just want to say that I like the idea of this and have posted it on another thread. While a sword does protect your wolf if a creeper gets him while your traveling there is not much you can do, but ARMOR CAN!!! (not yelling, my mind had more of a zelda duh duh duh... duhhhh type thing going.)
And for people like me who play on a pvp multiplayer server that limits the number of wolves you can have, (my case 1) this is a great way to keep your wolf friend from being obliterated from existence by a diamond sword toting meanie. Like he previously stated, and I have stated in another thread, we are going to get attached to our wolves so why not have a way to at least give them a little lease on life. I mean I don't want them to be overpower death machines, but have them a little under my health with armor on. That way my buddy isn't getting super sacked by Diamond Dealer Dorthy while I have my back turned chopping some wood.
Thats all for now, I guess if need be I'll come back to protect the Armor for wolves thread some more if need be. But for now I believe it is sufficient enough. Thank you for reading and have a good day.
While I think that this title kind of insults anyone who wants armor for wolves with is bad grammar and all, I do believe armor should be present. If not as a main component then as a mod possibly? Many multiplayer servers are allowing wolves but at a limited amount, so why not allow armor so that you cannot lose your hard earned wolf to a griefer with a diamond sword. I also have seen a thread about wolf sleds which I also think is a great idea. http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=236310 Anyone who likes the idea for this please go there and bump it if you don't mind.
I know that some people hate this idea. I know the above guy stated that it would be way overpowered, and I would agree for any instance with multiple wolves. But for people like me that would only have one wolf it is a very great idea. And secondly, I know some people are liked minded as me and will grow attached to their wolf. Some people won't but, I know I will. Multiple pvp battles and the such and all of a sudden I'm in puppy love. (P.S. I have wolf posters all over my room, a little obsessed I know.) So having a little extra protection for your puppy in crime is great.
Also I saw the argument about it not making sense and that is in some ways true but it has been done, in other games, aka fantasy setting. For stright realism though, people have to remember that in older times wolves were used to fight with and were treated much like dogs. Now I didn't say they had armor because I don't know. I do know that horses were given armor though so it is not a stretch to say that wolves could have also had armor. And for those who would say its too heavy, leather is the same as the wolf's skin so not so.
Overall, I'm for the armor for wolves idea, and other ideas too. So be it mod or real in-game feature I would love to see this happen. If Notch or someone with the skills to make this come alive then please take this into consideration. Thank you.
I agree with this completely. I am actually a multiplayer pvp person and I would love to have low grade armor on my wolves so that people can't just two hit my wolf with a diamond sword. We are going to have only one wolf per person so this is a great idea. I hope that someone will take the initiative and do this.
