Issue Description: When I finally hit lvl 5 druid and got my wildshape, I remembered I could set my Wildshape form, when I went to go set my form I choose Crocodile over my bear form. I then transformed into the crocodile, I could not see myself and the person (Slade Greymantle) I was questing with could not see me ether, I then attacked one of the spell books in the area that were hostile, and I saw that my screen was also locked, I then killed what I could see, and when combat was over, I then logged out and when I attempted to rejoin I was stuck on the loading screen at full bar, I could hear music and I even got a reinvite to the party, but I could not click anything. I asked Puffy to help me in the discord, where she did something so I was normal again.

And when I say normal, I mean I was back in human form.

Please refrain from using the crocodile shape for now. The rest of the shapes should work, however. Let us know if you find any another one that bugs.

The model's appearance number must have changed (pretty sure it came from a hak) or the model is bugged for the crocodile.

And admin will look into it at some point.

Thanks!

Wildshape still works?

Matriarch

Yes.
It works as it used to for now, but its on the to do list of things that need improvement (or complete rewrite).

Puffy

Would it be possible for us to import the old druid wildshape script? @StrawMan you're usually good at this, any chance you could dig up the script? :heart_suit:

Matriarch

@Puffy , I think this is the old wildshape script. All the other shapes work. Issue is, the crocodile model probably changed number, since we changed some haks since v5.
If its getting looked at though, could we unlock the insect shapes? Used to be you needed an item with a special variable on to get access. Then again, some of the shapes could use a look into. Most folks use the bear ones only haha.

SpiffyMeister

Someone needs to explain to me how wildshapes work and the scripts, and I'd happily work on this.

Zool

@SpiffyMeister The script says "polymorph me into this from the polymorph 2da"

And then magic happens - pretty much.

So, the 2da has all the info on the creature (ALL the info, skins, claws, stats, appearance, everything) and the polymorph script just says "Polymorph into this number - " it then grabs the data from the 2da, and does the thing

Puffy

Basically, someone has to go through the numbers and the stats.

SpiffyMeister

What's the script name?

@SpiffyMeister

~~Try NW_S2_WildShape~~

Edit:

br_cs_setshape Line (302): case 17: iNewForm = 346; break; // ** crocodile

Appearance 346 is null.

Change to Either 3172 (small) or 3177 (large)
