Re: Dinosaurs

[Manu Saxena <dreamofpeace@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

        Cool ideas!  It's fun to try new and different things once in a
while.  
        For smaller dinosaurs like raptors, the standard TLs should work
if you use a low mass factor for them.  This could conceivably work for
larger dinosaurs as well if you extrapolate what mass factor they'd have
by their mass, but the calculations might be a pain if you wind up with
factors like .03 or whatever.  You could work out some of the
calculations in advance, though, so you wouldn't have to go through it
in-game, and it might be OK.
        
Best Wishes,

Manu
