Quick questions:

1/ How do I make a pack

Try looking at other packs to get a since of what you do, but basically you just have one set of files with everything in it. Kinda hard to explain.


THe DL will be the same for a pack as a one object thing.

OK, just meaning to ask this for a while. I've been watching my frogs and they never seem to swim? Is it possible to make them swim? Maybe by using the Komodos animation? or the crocs?

Yes they walk on the water. I kind of like that. But not sure if you can make them swim. And if you can i kind of like the fact that they walk on it.

Yes, they can be made to swim. It's simply a couple of lines in the ai. It's how I made the emu swim for Crooky.

I saw you'd managed to get the emu to swim, thats what gave me the idea, but the whole 'Jesus frog' effect thing made me think someone had tried it and failed. Which lines do I edit? And doesnt it need a corresponding animation?

All the animals already have that animation. It's just whether "swimmer=true" or "swimmer=false" that determines whether they do or do not swim. Plus, several other lines in the ai.

The ibexes are ANNOYING! I cant get the colours right. I'll do some work on them (still only coded the barbary...) now

OK, did some recoloring, what do you think of this as the barbary:

EDIT:The eyes needed faded and the blink animation is weird, so I may have to fix that. I havent begun recoloring young yet :blink: Any feed back would be more than welcome, as well as tips for recoloring (i use photoshop, and find GFX like grunge and abstract relatively easy, though am still learning, and yet this recolour is driving me barmy! So much so, do not hold out hope of the taur, I may code it but only if someone else is willing to recolour it?)

EDIT ONCE MORE:Recoloured the young, will get pik soon hopefully, though no promises, also only one more icon to recolour, and then just to tweak the adults form(faded eyes already, need suggestion to make it better)

OK, road tested the Barbary Sheep, all seems fine! The young look like miniture females, though slightly lighter (annoying, as it seems that the Ibex ignores the young skin, which looked a lot lighter in photoshop, although could just be the game....). Is anyone willing to recolour the Taur? If so I'll code it, if not I wont. How should I change the Barbary's skin, or is it ok? And I should soon have the frog ready for dl ;)

OK, the Painted Reed Frog refuses to swim, so I'm giving up on that. I have put all the parts in a pack, and should be uploading it very, very soon. I did however change one thing: I made the frog use the Salt Lick, mainly because I wanted it too (I realise this isnt too realistic, but hey, I like it :lol:). I'm annoyed at not being able to get the frog to swim though, so in the future (or if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong) I may update the frog. I also really wanted it to use the fire flies Martin1990 created, but no matter what I do I cant get them to work (does anyone know of any animals that already use them, someone suggested the fennec but it doesnt for me...is there another dl that does this, I have the latest re-incarnation of his Bonus Pack?)

Hmm, ok, I want to know two things:

-what should i do to the Barbary Sheeps skin to make it more realistic, or is it ok as it is?
-Do people want my frog just released now, or should i try and get it to swim and use the fire flies?

Agreed, that's already a good looking skin. :D

Yes, all frogs are like that, where they can't swim, please release it now. B)
