[Plugin] Animal Breed Master - Viehzuchtmeister V0.81.1

Yes you can hide names and text on your screen when you take screen shots.
Got to the console menu: use the tilde ~ key (next to the 1 and under the Esc keys)
type
hud
no caps
Your screen will clear of all text
when done: type again
hud
your screen will return to normal

Players on our server are still experiencing difficulties with the naming. You end up in a state where the dialog box is there and you can type a name fine, but the enter key does nothing. You can click outside the input box and then hit esc key and the whole dialog disappears, but then you can't get the naming dialog box back again until you log off and back on again. Not always and issue, but often an issue naming animals.

I have had this problem for a long time. The rest of the program works fine but the naming is a bit glitchy. you end up having to reboot and if you name the animal rt away it will work most the time but it is real frustrating.

we on rosalia have discovered the minipig refuses to eat anything. They are supposed to eat watermelon but won't. the other animals are eating just not the mini pig. OK this has been tested down to it is the watermelon that is causeing the problem. cows will eat carrots and refuse apples but won't respond to watermelon. mini pigs are supposed to eat watermelon but won't respond and refuse everything else.

Had a few ideas for this plugin. How about a way to track down lost animals? Maybe a "chip" in their neck that we could track with an "animal detector" of some sort? Or if thats too high tech, maybe a sheepdog that you could send out to wrangle them back in their pen. Or some way to pull them back to the area really.

Another thing I thought could be cool would be to use the area box to set an "electric fence". One where you could say "all pigs stay in this box" and have separate boxes/pens for each animal. Or you could draw it around your whole place, set all animals, and the animals would free roam but stay on your property.

Oh and it would be really nice to be able to protect our breeded animals from someone else killing them. Hope you like the ideas

Just updated breed master and watermelon does it's thing now, minipig can be tamed and bred and I had no problem naming an animal this time. I will keep you informed on the name thing but things seem to be working optimally.

Quote from Machete

If so then it simply "walks home". The home position is set with the noodle.

When you say "the noodle" do you mean the rolling pin. How do you set the home position with the noodle? Did not see this in the "readme".

Wonder if it would be possible to somehow have a way to get a list of all the animals you own and maybe where they are. With the difficulty keeping animals penned in, it would be helpful to have a way to keep track of them. Maybe some sort of "recall" capability to be able to "herd" animals back to you?

Are some NPC related API functions planned? For example a PlayerHitNpcEvent?

Oh, actually I don't know why there is no such event This will be added with the next update

@Machete Thanks! that all makes sense. Will have to try it (the "home" setting by last place to "unfollow").

@Machete We seem to be getting errors on the server (see below) when naming animals. Sometimes the error actually crashes the server, sometimes the error says it is related to the /pnb plugin. Not sure why.

Does this plugin use the RWGUI plugin? Maybe this plugin is somehow conflicting with the "GUI back-end plug-in (rwgui)" plugin by @Miwarre

Quote from Machete

Every animal has the home position set where it is initially tamed.After that the position is automatically updated where it stands when you "unfollow" your animal with the rolling pin.
The radius is 10m (or 10 blocks? Can't remember ) an animal is allowed to wander around!

On a server this only works when the player is online. When offline the animals may roam further away but as soon as the player is online again all animals will return back home (can take a couple of minutes because they are walking comfortably - especially chickens )

I'll think about it. I am still not convinced that it is really needed.I for myself have 5 to 10 cows, pigs, chickens and sheeps each, on average perhaps 30 animals. No list needed yet!

Regarding the getting a list of your animals. The reason for the list would be to find out if all your animals exist or if they are either "Lost" or "Dead", as your animals can be killed by someone. Maybe at least a command that says you have "X out of Y Animals Tamed" or something.

That sounds great for a start! An actual list with names and coordinates would be a great addition.

With @Miwarre kind of "out of pocket", I'm not sure the errors can be resolved. I think it may be a conflict between the "rwgui" used by /pnb and the /abm plugin when naming animals since it also uses a "GUI" interface to enter the name.

yeah.
That looks perfekt.
I always wanted something like this but never asked

I have been "experimenting" a bit with this. It appears that my animals will also wonder further than 10 blocks away even when I am logged on but go somewhere else in the world far from the "home" position. Is this expected?

Also animals disappear completely when I either move far away from "home" or if I alt-tab out of the game window to some other Windows location and return. I think they are there at "home" but not visible. Usually they re-appear if I log out and back in to the server. This may be animal behavior that @red51 needs to address along with the difficulties with them passing through walls/fences/etc.
