Forms Vs Mounts

[Synnworld 11]

Its me again lol, so here is abother question for the people who still frequent the boards.

 

Forms Vs Mounts, which is better per say? Now I know in the long run it is mounts because they don't have a time limit attached them. Has anyone tried modding away the time limit for the forms? I just want to run around in dragon form some times and those limits make it hard to roleplay as a territorial dragon. I guess its all for the best, I haven't found a princess to kidnap anyways >.>

 

Anyways

Are mounts faster the DB or DF?

Are their any mounts that handle terrain obstacles on the same level as the DF? (Literally I was on ground level trying to jump over a fence and cut a few seconds off my trip, but instead I flew up to the second floor balcony where the quest giver was standing; giving me more reason to love the forms.)

The main difference?

You can't use your normal class combat arts while transformed or on horse back. You can't open doors or talk while transformed, ...

The berserker form is able to survive boss fights, the dragon form is mainly used for exploring quickly.

 

If you want a longer dragon form:

search spells.txt in your gamefolder in the ../scripts/shared directory.

 

mgr.defineSpell( "dm_dm_drachenform", {
eiStateName = "cSpellCast",
fxTypeCast = "FX_DM_MORPH_DRAGON_C",
fxTypeSpell = "FX_DM_MORPH_DRAGON",
fxTypeCastSpecial = "",
duration = 10.000000,
animType = "ANIM_TYPE_SM17",
animTypeApproach = "",
animTypeRide = "",
animTypeSpecial = "ANIM_TYPE_RIDESM17-SPECIAL",
causesSpellDamage = 1,
tokens = {
entry0 = {"et_self_shapeshift", 1000, 1994, 0, 41 },
entry1 = {"et_duration_sec", 3000, 5, 0, 8 },
entry2 = {"et_armor_any_rel", 0, 50, 0, 41 },
entry3 = {"et_weapondamage_fire", 0, 20, 0, 9 },
entry4 = {"et_AWVW_rel", 0, 100, 0, 41 },
entry5 = {"et_base_armor_phy", 200, 100, 1, 41 },
entry6 = {"et_weapondamage_fire", 40, 10, 2, 9 },
entry7 = {"et_duration_sec", 1000, 3, 3, 8 },
entry8 = {"et_life_regen", 25, 15, 4, 41 },
entry9 = {"et_chance_reflect_CC", 350, 10, 5, 41 },
entry10 = {"et_addspell_feuerball", 1000, 0, 6, 5 },
},
fightDistance = 0.000000,
aspect = "EA_DM_DRAGONMAGIC",
cooldown = 60.000000,
soundProfile = 0,
cost_level = 250,
cost_base = 500,
focus_skill_name = "skill_DM_dragonmagic_focus",
lore_skill_name = "skill_DM_dragonmagic_lore",
spellClass = "cSpellDmMorph",
spellcontroltype = "eCAtype_b_boost_self",
sorting_rank = 0,
})

Edit the duration to a time you like. '6000,100,0,8' would be 60s base and one second each combat art level.

This was more of a comparison of mounts vs the forms when it came to evploration. I probably should've made that more clear. I'm still trying to figure out if I want yo waste money on a horse on my DM, I have more then enough to spare since the only vthing I ever spend money on are the runes.

 

I bought a horse on my HE because it felt needed, but it doesn't fill so required on DM, heck more places feel accessed to me due to dragon form.
