Creature Handler Archive

Ive finally managed to lay my hands on a copy of InsideSWG(god bless Goggle search strings), and Ive been poking around the TC files.

Although all ten of the new creatures we have been told about are there, I found a disturbing little item in patch_15_01.tre under intangible - pet and tangible - deed - ep3_pet_deed: Only the Kashyyykan Bantha and Bolotaur are listed. The Varactyl is also listed, but doesnt really count as a tameable.

Could you check this out and make sure we can tame other critters on Kashyyyk? Two new creatures is about eight to few in my opinion

Are you sure that is not just referring to the mounts in teh Expansion?

I can read the .tre files as well as you probably can...so I know how hard it is to understand some of it. That just seems to be the new mounts in the game and that is all.

That is how I take it.

I wish they would allow us to mount cats, I mean seriously...why can't we

Grand Wrix and the GSP. They are definately in need of saddles!

That's what I thought as well mate, but the other Kashyyykan creatures are all listed in there in various spots, and the only referance I can find to tameables is under the two pet-related sections. Ive gone over the entire thing in detail, and the only creatures which are related to pets and not AI, texture and sound files are the two mountables.

Like I say though, Im not 100%, which is why I posted this, hopefully Vert can get permission to tell us one way or another(he probably already knows but is stuck under NDA the poor git ). I hope Im wrong, I really want those brain-sucker thingies from Myydrill Caverns, as they seem to me the perfect way to have a cool crowd control pet; it attaches itself to an enemy and forces it to break aggro/freeze in place by takin control of its brain

As sick as that sounds I doubt it will happen. I dont see them having one of those critters for a pet only because it would throw off the unique feel of that cave where they live...and it sounds based on the friday feature that it wil be a major attraction for some tough fighting.

I would like to see some of the others as pets though. Is there anything else that you found in the files that are interesting? Things Non CH?

I know about the clonetroopers, Grevious..but curious if you see anything with new missions and what they sound like.

I heard the new music on Kashyyyk is top notch though (That is not my review from an Alpha Testers standpoint...just from reading what others have said from the .tre files )

Well my reply was deleted, I suppose posting the contents of the .tre files is illegal now for some reason. Odd, as people have been doing it for ages without any problems. Looks like the one-staring morons have taken to reporting posts of people they dont like to the mods instead.
