Dragon control

Controlling your dragon is simple: Look in the direction you want it to fly.

Use the sneaking key to toggle the parking brake.

Since v4.0 you can control the dragon with the arrow keys! For that to work the server needs the SpoutPlugin and the player Spoutcraft. Both is completely optional.

Since v5.0 you can let your dragon shoot a fireball with a left click while riding on it.

Dragon inventory

Since v5.0 each dragon has a inventory. To access it simply right click your dragon!

Dragon feeding

To make your dragon temporary faster right click it with a golden apple in your hand. Every apple will give +0.1 speed (max: +1.0 speed).

@DragonMaster4131: Go

Why don't you make a bukkit dev page for this ridethadragon reloaded?

@Melonking: Go The description page was a WIP, yes, but now it's filled with info.

It everybody waits till it's "properly established" it will never be, cause how can it be if nobody uses it? So why not give it a try? :)

BTW: I'm currently thinking about making it CraftBukkit compatible again, but as it uses some Libigot API functions using it with CraftBukkit will not be supported, so if you have issues that don't appear with Libigot you will be on your own.

If you want to help developing: Read this first!

Like what you see? Feel free to (or send me BitCoins: 16nL7XgC7DefPcBVzPBwkSV7YD6vJGZUjh )

Ok, I'll fix it today...

edit:

Dragons disappear fix for 1.5.2:

Ok, I added a new command: /dragon missing

Permission: ridetha.missing (default: OP)

Description: This command reloads the .sav file. That can be useful, if the dragons disappear.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?k1lt4mv379td7ob

Folder with all Downloads:http://www.mediafire.com/?ayitjkz2tt3fx

Note: This isn't a real fix. Its a emergency version (time problems).

edit: New Dropbox Folder:

Sometimes mediafire locks some of my filles (mediafire, you suck!!!).

If some filles are locked, you can download them over Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k1ewo69le8yprrq/EqC1wTQr_z

@DragonMaster4131: Go

Seems to work great, although you can fly through the world xD

Edit: Ah I see, its the old fly through the world or get stuck in it debate.

Edit 2: After a few hours dragons seem to have vanished, they are still in the save, however they are missing from the world, how can that be put back?

Just so im clear, this is not being updated, because you have switched to some sort of Libigot system, that I have never heard of before and who's description page is "...wip"

Would you at least consider supporting both until Libigot is properly established and server owners feel happy to use it, if ever.

It is always disappointing to have to tell players that we cant use an awesome plugin.
