    I'd think that everyone will agree that just being able to transfrom into only a white tiger or a fox as a untame can get kind of boring. So how about we morph into lions, pandas, wolves, foxes, etc. depending on our character's beings. it'll make the game more interesting than it already is.

    I 100% agree and it would make much more sense.

    it would be cool if you could choose your pet form at the skill trainer, and once you've learned one of the forms the other are unavailable/disappear from the list.

    wouldn't it be possible to use recolored/resized models of mobs?

    awwww... I don't even have fox form; it looks cute but I don't use it. if you could learn cat form I'd learn it just for the looks^^

    Capture a barbarian and you can have a tiger as a pet.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    animal morphs are great, it makes no sense for a panda man wolf man or lion man to turn into a tiger. and wats up with having bunny ears bat ears and cat ears if u turn into a FOX?

    Yes, I'm sure it could. However, the optional animals would still have to be programmed into the game before that could happen. As it stands, only the fox and tiger forms are programmed and creating the new ones would still be a long road. It would also require modifying the transformation skill so that it could return the appropriate model when used.

    To illustrate, I'll use some general Basic code since it's easy to understand. This is what the coding to call up the tiger form would look like now:

    IF TrueForm$ = "1" THEN
    >CALL SUBTiger
    IF TrueForm$ = "0" THEN
    >CALL SUBNormal
    ELSE
    >CALL SUBError
    END IF

    That would be the basic IF statement to change forms. SUBTiger would be the subroutine to call up the tiger model, SUBNormal would be the subroutine to return to your normal character, and SUBError is the fail safe should a value other than 1 or 0 be called for the TrueForm$ variable (personally, I would use a GOTO operator to return to the beginning of the statement and start over). This IF statement would most likely be within a subroutine of it's own which would later return variable information from either SUBTiger or SUBNormal back into the main program.

    Now, to modify it to do what we want, calling up another animal, it would need to be changed to this:

    IF TrueForm$ = "1" THEN
    >CALL SUBAnimal
    >CALL SUBTransform
    IF TrueForm$ = "0" THEN
    >CALL SUBNormal
    ELSE
    >CALL SUBError1
    END IF

    SUBAnimal
    >IF Animal$ = "Wolf" THEN
    >>CALL SUBWolf
    >IF Animal$ = "Lion" THEN
    >>CALL SUBLion
    >IF Animal$ = "Panda" THEN
    >>CALL SUBPanda
    >IF Animal$ = "Tiger" THEN
    >>CALL SUBTiger
    >ELSE
    >>CALL SUBError2
    >END IF
    RETURN Animal$
    END SUB

    In this example, I've shown the subroutine that compares the variable data. The Animal$ variable is returned, not to the main program, but to the point right before CALL SUBTransform. SUBTransform would then process Animal$ and determine which model to load and the model data would be sent to the main program from there.

    This little section of code took me ten minutes tops to type out. This is only a simple way of showing the general idea and is in absolutely no way how the real coding is written. I surmise that the actual code is much, much more complicated.

    But, aren't presets constantly being added? And new servers, armors, outfits, and boutique items? The Perfect World creators work on new graphics all the time, take the genie for example. A new form would be great... and cute. can you picture tiny antelopes, kittens, lions, wolves, tigers, foxes, dragons etc. running around, cute, huh? So, even if this might be a large scale update, many are. this change doesn't have to be immediate, but as a secondary project i'm sure perfect world could manage. Maybe, the animal could be chosen in a quest at level 30/40?
    Anyway, I'm sure this update isn't impossible. PWI creators shoud atleast try at this. b:victoryb:chuckle

    I agree, but this would be completely useless for us foxy venomancers, and I wanna be special, too. At least make the fur the color of the character's hair... Cuz a light blue fox would be soooooo cute!

    Well as I have in the past. I'm always supportive of the idea to individualize the different barb types. As to the Veno I think it's pretty specific (in legend) that they're foxes, it would be nice if the color of the fur were to be matched to the color of their hair though. Then again it'd be cool if they were their individual animal types as well.

    My only opinion is that only Untamed can change to animals because it is more "natural" and because half of their skill tree is designed for transforming into animal. I agree with changing into different animals like cat, bat etc if you are untamed.

    I definitly agree with the presets. The elves and humans get way more than the others, and the tide born can at least change the features so it's more of your idea for the character. I love the idea/thought behind the Untamed, but was very disappointed with the lack of custamization. Having the base forms is great, but if you have a mind to alter to an animal you're more predisposed to, forget it.
    I have no real problems with the white tiger "true self", though I would like to alter the base character form. Smooth out the features, elongate others to make myself a white panther. Being able to carry that to the "true self" would be fantastic. From what little of I know of game programming, I understand that would be a programmers nightmare.

    I only have a venomancer, and she has fox's ears and tails, so this wouldn't affect her, also I love foxes, but still I support this idea, I think it would rock!!b:victory

    not necro, the GMs dont give a rest to the merge button.

    most fun part is that in the barbarian subforum there is also an excessively merged topic about "barb change into other than tiger".
    why dont they merge this 2 topics?

    When you post in a thread that has been inactive for more than a month it is considered necromancy, and that is against the forum rules.

    If you see an inactive subject that appeals to you, please create a new thread rather than "necroing" an old one b:thanks
