Future pets support
Future pets support
In development version of manaplus I add support for client side only pets.
This mean dont need any server changes, need only change client data files to add pets.
For activate pet need equip specially configured item. And all other players will see your pet.
Here is example with wolf as pet: http://download.evolonline.org/manaplus/demo/pet.avi
And here snake: http://download.evolonline.org/manaplus/demo/pet2.avi
For now pet can follow player. Configurable speed, think time, position where pet prefer "sit" against owner, how pet should be rotated etc.
Pet can respawn in owner position if distance to owner very big.
Is pets like this need for TMW?
Update: another video with multiply pets http://download.evolonline.org/manaplus/demo/pet3.webm
Update2: now pets added with pets mod in version 1.4.1.18
Pets in mod:
Dark Blue Cotton Shorts - snake
Green Wizard Hat - wolf
Funky Hat - penguin
Mouboo Head - mouboo
Yeti Mask - yeti
Pinkie Hat - pinkie
Leather Trousers - fluffy

Re: Future pets support
Land of Fire has pets on it, a cat, dog, rat and a fairy, each with their own unique ability. They come in very handy all the time. It would be awesome to have pets in both Evol and TMW and to have possibly a wolf or snake pet,,even cooler
Re: Future pets support
I think that the best pet system is the LOF one, i don't know why it isn't implemented in TMW, it's very cool to have pets! I want a black cat!
Re: Future pets support
What is LOF's pet system? Same than TMW-br? (a static sprite which is attached to the player and can walk on and in walls)

Re: Future pets support
From what i heard a while back, i think it was implemented from the Brazil server, i am not 100% certain though, but you can PM Pirho or KeeKeeKat through the Land of Fire forum or use the IRC channel. I tried to go into the forum now, but the site and game seems to be down at the momentReid wrote:What is LOF's pet system? Same than TMW-br?

brasilian server using static item animation, this is not pets but some additional animation only.
try see video and you will undestand.
Re: Future pets support
Nice! I had been digging around upstream eAthena's pet support recently (and the Peco Peco mounts, and the homun), and let out a sigh because a lot of it is UI triggered, and I doubt I'd have the effort to go messing around with it.
Re: Future pets support
A kind of Pet exists on German TMW, with some animation. However it is used mostly lake a charm and occupies a slot in equipment.
4144's release is far better looking!
The bad is that the pet should be banned from TMW for autofollow

Re: Future pets support
Yes! I always wanted a wolf pet after seeing them in Nivalis. It would be cool if you could use them to help fight. I always thought fish and things in the ponds would be nice to. Seen any fish jumping in the ponds lately? Kidding

Re: Future pets support
Wow, would be real fun to have a pet. Maybe we could have different classes of pets, ones which fight and ones which can be used to increase inventory slots. But that's only possible if this thing gets sever-side support.
Re: Future pets support
Here pets example clientdata files: http://download.evolonline.org/manaplus ... lientdata/
Files from this directory can be copied into clientdata dir or into local dir inside update server dir.

Re: Future pets support
Downloaded and watched your examples. Autonomous pets are vast improvement to the current "attached to hip" style of pets on German & Land of Fire servers. Your client just keeps to continue to increase players game play experience.
As far as server side support, if existing sprite sheets of pets on the other servers (dog, cats, fairies, may be others I'm forgetting), were used to add them as regular mobs (but just not used in maps that way), they could be used as pets using your system, hopefully.
Call to cat people (even though I am not one of you. I have a pet dog on the German server, and had a pet fairy on Land of Fire, before I lost/forgot my username and password for LOF : Make noise for pets Image your manaling with his/her own pet cat
