Immortal Dogs

"Tired of having to go all the way back home to respawn your dog when he, unfortunately, dies when you are adventuring somewhere far away?

The good news is, Immortal Dogs - A huge feature of Classic Doggy Talents, is back!"

Enabling the feature

This behavior is enabled by default.

To disable it for a specific world:

1. Navigate to that world's directory.
2. Locate config folder.
3. Open doggytalents-server.toml file.
4. Set immortal_dogs = false.

Disabling the visuals

If you are sensitive to the sight of blood or injuries, you may consider disabling the rendering of the visuals involved:

1. Navigate to that world's directory.
2. Locate config folder.
3. Open doggytalents-server.toml file.
4. Set render_incapacitated_overlay = false.

There is now an option to substitute a friendlier injured texture to be rendered instead. (See more in Configuration).

Behavior

Let's say, your dog encounters the unimaginable, and his health hits 0. Expectedly, it will, as you know, die. For this behavior, the dog doesn't die. Instead, it goes into another mode called Injured.

If your dog starved to death, it must have a Golden A5 Wagyu in order to get back on its feet, Band-Aid don't work. (WIP)

With Immortal Dogs disabled (which is not recommended), when the dog's health hits 0 (or fallen into the void) the dog will still die, but you can use a Dog Bed to revive them.

• A Linked Bed will respawn its specific Linked Dog.
• Unclaimed Beds will pick from a random Dog (that you own that died) to be revived when using an Totem of Undying or commands.

Injured Mode

• It can't manually be accessed nor switched by changing the mode on the Menu GUI.
• In this mode, the dog is immobilized. It won't be able to listen to any commands or respond to any interactions from anyone, including his owner. His health stays at ½ a heart (1 HP) and undamageable in that state.
• His texture will also be changed (if graphic visuals are enabled). The textures signify the dog has been injured and is different based on how the dog was defeated. Right now, the default texture signifies the dog is bleeding and only changes when the dog is burned or poisoned, in which he will render with additional "charred" spots with smoke and ashes or green "poison stain" respectively.

Cause	Kanji Meaning	Kanji Image
Default	敗 -> fail, lose
Drown	溺 -> drown
Poison	毒 -> poison
Starve	餓- > hunger, famine
Burn	焼 -> grill, burn

An Injured Dog

• Dogs cannot teleport in this mode.
• Upon entering the mode, his Nourishment Points will be set to -64 and will gradually regenerate to 0. When it hits 0, the dog leaves the mode with its health and Nourishment Points maxed out and will be considered fully recovered and ready for another adventure.
• The Nourishment Points will reset to 0 whenever the dog is damaged by any source while healing.
• The dog cannot consume any meat or food that normally regenerates Nourishment Points.

Bringing Your Best Friend Back to Action

For your dog to be fully recovered, its Nourishment Points have to reach 0. It will auto-regenerate little by little. This process will be extremely lengthy in time as it should be, your dog deserves some rest.

Luckily, the process can be sped up:

• When an injured dog stays on a bed (including the unclaimed Dog Bed, a claimed bed the dog does not own, or a vanilla bed), it will lie down and its healing speed will be increased. Additionally, healing will be increased even further if the owner is nearby, less than 10 (blocks) away, in which heart particles will also start to appear.
• A Golden A5 Wagyu can be fed to it also to further increase the healing speed.
• A Band-Aid can also be applied to speed up the healing process. If enough bandages (8) are applied, the dog can begin to walk.
  • Note: Every damage the dog takes will still cause the Nourishment Points to reset and additionally cause all of the bandages to drop.
• The dog still won't be able to do anything up to this point besides following you. If there are empty beds (DTN or Vanilla) nearby, your dog will stay there to rest.
• You can Sneak + Right-click to pick the dog up using a Bone and carry it to a safe area.

• If you are in a heated fight and you need your dogs immediately, you can always give them a Totem of Undying in which it and all of the nearby dogs will exit the mode instantly.

Trivia

• Before 1.18.12, Injured Mode used to be called Incapacitated Mode, but the Devs changed it because it was mouthful.
