Removing Flying Mounts
« on: June 29, 2012, 06:45:10 am »

So, what is the easiest way of removing flying mounts from the raws? Remove them one-by-one or is there an other way?

Locate creatures with FLIER and MOUNT (or MOUNT_EXOTIC). Remove one of those. Sorry, that's about it. There's probably a list of mounts on the wiki; if you find it, it should be easy to figure out which of those fly. Go from there.

Just search creature files for MOUNT and MOUNT_exotic ("[mount" should be fine) and then see if this creature has FLIER. Remove mount tag from it.

I usually just wait until someone brings a flying mount, save and then edit that one critter to not have flying from the save raws.  If I remember correctly, entities usually only bring one or two types of mounts, or at least that's how it always seems to me.

It's faster to write "!!science!!" than any of the synonyms: "mad science", "dwarvern science", or "crimes against the laws of god and man".

Simplest method would be to use notepad++ to open all creature files and have it remove every instance of [MOUNT] and [MOUNT_EXOTIC]. Then just add the tag to whatever you consider acceptable and viola, no more invading oddities.

Ideally, wait until they're airbonre...especially if they're over a big, deep shaft.
