A theoritical way to make Flying Mounts !

[RageCryX]

The "old" guyz of the W*W Dev forum here know that the WDDG server packs had some special mounts such as Gryphon, Hippogryph, Wyvern, Dragon, Bat, Fellsteed etc... (I dont know if they exist in the new server packs as SGWOW or something). So... one day (basicaly it was night) while I was searching the scripts folder I saw a similarity between creatures and items... they both can start Quests !!! So if we can make the Gryphon Master's (the guy at the towns who have gryphons and teleports u) "ability" to send you to a location showing your characters transportation from one place to another (using flypaths) as a quest and make it start through the Gryphon Item ... we have a flying mount (with a trick). Now, if we use our... imagination :) a little bit more we can think that using the game's coordinates we can make the item transport anywhere... (or at the basic locations such as the big cities !!!)

I think(almost sure) that this is possible ... if you know how to program :)
What do you say? Can anyone make it? Am I sayng stupid things or I'm a genius???

LOL ... i'm waitin your opinion!!! :D

Hello,

Dude, ur not genius, thats very stupid..
What are flying mounts?
These are mounts wich u activate like normal mount(eg. a Horse..) using item but u can fly (not just go over ground)... U can fly trough air like gryphons do only their path is defined in TaxiPath.dbc(Data\DBFilesClient\TaxiPath.dbc)wich are connected in TaxiNodes.dbc...

As WoWEmu is not finished and is missing alot of staff, be sure that flying is not implemented...
Only way to make ur char flying is using a hack (forgot the name...)...
but it higers server's CPU usage, and making latency...

About ur idea, imagine it like this :

1. Sit on a mount where ur start location would be place where Gyphon Master is...
2. Making it to not tlp u on final dest, u need to make an addon wich will do .where EVERY 1MS(Probbably even less than 1ms)...
3. With ur current co-ords in world that addon would edit TaxiPath.dbc and TaxiNodes.dbc every 1ms (Probbably less than 1ms) and save it...
4. There u go! ur flying!!! :D

But Problems are :

1. Doing .where every 1 ms would make lagg and crash server after few seconds...
Also imagine 5ppl sitting on flying mount :D ROFL!
2. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN, EDIT AND SAVE .DBC IN LESS THAN 1MS(I know cuz i have made DBC Tool)
3. No one will ever make this ^^

Thanks!

... Read more carefully (No Offence) ... I said its a trick not real flying mounts :D


sry 4 my terrible english

Maybe we can make a second Gryphon model with a lot space under it...
It will lookz like flying... then just make a script that changes the model 1 to model two
... eg. Model 1 = Landed Gryphon And Model 2 = "Flying" Gryphon
... they are just tricks man!!! :)

[d6qwerty]

u can just try to set ur model to gyphon model(don't know wich one exactly) and try to press 'x' gyphon will land...(thats his anim for 'sit' emote, while 'stand' emote is flying for him...)

As for making his model taller... nah... u are still on the ground...

Theres no way to make flying mounts with this emu... i tried several times and failed...

There is a way to make your character move up and down on your current plane. I used the with my flying mount to put me up high when I was flying. It's very cool. I stopped playing for about 6 months to enjoy some DDO, but I can't remember how I did it. If you're looking to create an early flying mount. Mount it and then change you position upward.

u mean to use .go and higher current Z co-ord?

umm, that can not work cuz of gravity...
