Nov 16, 2018 - Okay . . a Few New Things Brought in

[Amairgen]

Today's reboot let me bring in some new toys that I worked on while giving my brain a break from the Arti Gem changes *smiles*

So . . the server now has . .

1) Playable Pianos (old - but tested for us and works fine)
2) Sleep-able Beds (old - but tested for us and works fine)
3) Pet Stabling Post (new thanks to Figger's suggestion) - scripted tested and working)

Note:
1) The new Pet Stabling Post is a great work around to our broken Stable system. It works as follows:
- will be available in an addon deed for placement inside your house or I can manually place it in your yard.
- the first player to DBL click it becomes the Owner and after that only the Owner can use it.
- the Owner then gets a Stabling Gump to Select a pet to park beside the post or Retrieve a parked pet.
- When pets are parked they become Immortal and stay in place. Also the player has his slots freed up accordingly

2) I have not yet determined how all these will become available but for now I will manually sell them to players for the following prices:
- Pet Stabling Post = 250,000 Gold
- Sleep-able Beds = 50,000 Gold
- Playable Pianos = 50,000 gold

Cheers

Make'em craftable!

[Figger]

maybe put them on the NPC that sells the training tools, north of gypsy camp.

Of course the Pet Stabling Post works on animals that cannot be shrunk and probably shrinkable ones too, but the reason for it is not to be stuck having a non shrinkable pet.

Crossbreed, you are going to love this thing.

I will look at making the new Stabling Posts craftable.

There are fourteen different styles due to the various wall types available for houses. So . . this looks like maybe . . its own category if there is room on the crafter gumps. Cannot promise how soon this will be done because crafters are chasing me for Arti Gem changes *grins*

Note: This new Stabling Post will now allow any character in the Owners family (who has 32 taming skill) to access it. So the Tamer owner can get low level pets and Pack animals for other family members. The Owner must have 75 Taming skill to own it.

Fig has been testing the Posts and it looks like there are no issues.

[Figger]

there are a few issues, read you game PMs, maybe i will PM you here too

Thanks Fig. Checked and those are not issues.

I dont think we need another craftable hitching post.
so either replace the old one with this or make it purchasable.

"sorry i assumed it worked the same way"

i thought the two would be confusing.

and i totally tunnelvisioned Oxican's request making the new beds and piano craftable.
now what materials cost 50k

[Lucian Kaine]

I think the "Make them craftable" request was more geared towards the beds and pianos.....at least that's how i would have interpreted it.....just saying

[Figger]

it isnt a hitching post, a hitching post can shrink shrinkable pets, a Pet stabling post can freeze pets in place where they stand, any pet that is tamable including exalted and all shrinkable pets.

[Amairgen]

The new Pet Posts are not supposed to work on Shrinkable Pets. It is possible that some that are shrinkable Mounts can be but not others for sure.

If it is not working that way then I have some work to do.

[Figger]

i only tried an exalted rideable packhorse on the post and it worked. I also put these unshrinkable pets on it: mongbat, imp, cow, drake, sphinx, nightmare, tropical bird, charger of the fallen, dire wolf and majestic ostard and up to 10 steps away from post. Come look and see at my house in Trammel, south of Britain, east of Britain moongate, on the beach.

[Amairgen]

I am not at all unhappy that a ridable pack horse can go on. Tamers can get them and then use the Pet Post to transfer them to their miner/LJ etc

[Lucian Kaine]

Is there no limit to how many pets can be put on it? This could pose an issue... a huge number of areas may become giant lag/client crash areas. They should be meant for Tamers to be able to hold onto valuable tames that they either ride for looks or use in combat. They should not be used to create a farm/zoo outside or around your house lol. Alk and Crossbreed would need to weigh in on this because they are probably the most experienced with Tames, How many exist in the world that are worth keeping on such a stone and possibly limiting the stone to that many. Just my thoughts

[Amairgen]

That is a good point - I can look into that but would need to ponder what limit may be best. Meantime . . Figger has been stress testing the Posts for us.

[Lucian Kaine]

Not a problem...I figured he was, his comment just got me thinking about a limit vs. no limit and the cause/effect....I have the eyes set on/over the horizon syndrome lol
