Moonglow Zoo Animals?

[KWK]

I have visited the zoo a few times on this shard and do not understand why only half the zoo has animals in it at best? I have yet to see serpents in the zoo or whatever should be filling all the empty cages. Is it era accurate for it to be this barren or can an admin put in some missing spawners? I am sure myself and all the mindless bards macroing would appreciate not fighting over the only 2 animals in a ZOO to provoke.

Nobody cares about the zoo? No animal lovers on this shard...

That used to be full of aniamls i thought

Take a look now usually there is just a polar bear and two wolves. On a rare occasion a gorilla will spawn in one of the cages for some reason? But I have yet too see anything in any of the other cages. I never visited the zoo back in the day so I do not remember if this is era accurate? But why would they have an empty zoo?

Is this the only place to post where corrections need to be made? I thought this shard is hell bent on era accuracy and has been around since 2007? If that is true I do not understand why a few animals in the zoo are not accurate by now?

More Animals Is Non Era Accurate.

According to what we know about the zoo during the era, it was typically empty or nearly empty. If you feel that the zoo should have more creatures in it, you might consider checking for in-era sources which show that the zoo contained certain creatures.

Seems pretty silly to have an empty zoo. Is it possible to get in the cages? For example, could someone tame or provoke creatures and put them in the cage?

[Kaivan]

It is certainly possible for players to bring in their own animals from outside, but it should not be possible to tame any animals that spawn within the confines of the zoo.

last time i was at the zoo they were currently tameable. any reason they should not be tameable and function differently?

[Kaivan]

Yes. There is explicit code in the demo contained in a script called monster that prevents animals that might spawn in the zoo from being tamable:

Code: Select all

#on creation()
{
  if(isInArea("zoo", getLocation(this), 0x00))
  {
    setLoiterMode(this, 0x01);
    setBehavior(this, 0x02);
    removeObjVar(this, "petCanTame");
  }
  return(0x01);
}

The removed variable, petCanTame is checked in the script called tame as follows:

Code: Select all

  if((!isMobile(usedon)) || (!hasObjVar(usedon, "petCanTame")))
  {
    ebarkTo(usedon, this, "You can't tame that!");
    detachScript(this, "tame");
    return(0x00);
  }

The monster script is part of the template definition for all tamable animals in game, which prevents any of them from being tamable, assuming they spawn in the zoo region. Of course, the major question is whether the spawning region for the zoo was active or not at all, which would have rendered this particular functionality moot.

Edit: I've corrected the problem at the zoo with tameable creatures. Creatures that spawn at our zoo cannot be tamed anymore.

I teleport into the cages, block bard LOS with walls of stone, tame the animals and gate them out of their cages to unleash their rage on their tormentors. Evidently, the zoo is broken

[Kaivan]

I edited my previous post to reflect the changes, but I'll point out out directly: animals that spawn at the Moonglow zoo can no longer be tamed.

damn looks like i can't do that anymore +1 for being accurate though. oh well so many other ways to get them killed with 0 counts

Also thanks for the code explanation.
