BOOK OF DRAGONS

A Dreamworks Dragons/ How to Train Your Dragon themed mod that introduces dragons from the movies and shows that you can tame and interact with.

DISCLAIMER

This project was initially developed solo, and still has a very small team, so very little testing was done in live environment. Bugs, glitches or other problems are to be expected and can be reported here, together with suggestions and applications in case you want to contribute to the mod.

PROGRESSION

The mod has a basic initial progression system in the form of the BOOK OF DRAGONS . To first acquire it, you must buy it from a certain travelling merchant hooligan that shows up as soon as you first Acquire some Hardware.

A totally not suspicious trader, check out his wares!

HUNTING

The Book of Dragons updates as you interact with each dragon. Not sure where to find them? The Hooligans can sell you some maps pointing to the nearest roost! That handy viking anvil also helps him craft some gear to keep you in one piece in case things get heated.

Call your dragon over from anywhere as long as it's on a loaded chunk!

TAMING

Dragons are not inherently hostile, but aren't necessarily patient either. Get rid of any armor and weapons and approach slowly though, and you might be able to drop some food for them. The BOOK OF DRAGONS should help in deciding what to feed them.

Slowly now!

TAMING PROCESS:

• Get close enough for the dragon to notice you. It'll enter a stance, and your screen will shake slightly.
• Crouch, Strip all armor and make sure you're not holding any weapon/ shield;
• Drop the correct food item for the dragon to eat, and keep dropping more until it sits and the message pops. Check the BOOK OF DRAGONS for data on the dragons, like the food needed to tame it;
• RIGHT MOUSE CLICK the dragon with empty hands to fully tame it.
• Once tamed, can be fed through right clicking with food; SHIFT + RIGHT MOUSE CLICK cycles the command state of the dragon (sit, follow, wander).

BASIC CONTROLS

• While riding on the ground, CTRL to sprint (toggle)
• SPACEBAR + direction to take off;
