I am starting to make another pack for the 1 year anniversary of my site(Zoo Tycoon Igloo). It will be an exclusive there. It will be released on the 24th, (the anniversary)

And if there is any confusion, the Arctic Char is in another pack made by the mods at ZTI and I just had to share it as a teaser :rolleyes:

OK... since I couldn't find the skinner coder requests, I guess I have to post it here. So, I will need a good skinner to skin the pack as mentioned above. You will need to do the icons, the animal emote and all of the skins. It's not much, just 3 animals. You will also need marine mania and must also be fairly good at alpha channeling for the icons. PM me if you are interested.

well i'm a awesome skinner but not good at alpha and i have MM, but good luck.

QUESTION:

IF you only lost the skins, and not the coding to the birds, why not just release the default ambients made into animals?

When a computer crashes, everything is lost. The only thing I am redoing is the squirrel, although it won't be prevost's squirrel, it might be in the ZTI pack along with the Arctic char.

Oh... So sad. I thought you just lost the skins.

But at least we'll get soem cool squirrel, plus ones made form that one!

How difficult was making the birds into animals, anyway?

The arctic char is released today in the day 2 anniversary post at Zoo Tycoon Igloo. I made it much better by adding 2 varients, a much better icon then before and, improved coding to fill in some gaps.

Panda King: It is very difficult. The idea is to let the deformation of the model because of the animations work for you to. So, you have to adjust all of the nodes and the vertices by hand to very precise measurements, so a few degree off could ruin the entire thing. So it was a very long and boring process because some of it was just trial and error. I found fish AiA are better to make because, it was easier and also, one fish coded, you can make any other fish because of shared animation names.

I see.

Some notes:

The char is transparent.

It crashes the game when it breaches onto land.

Crash: Oh, I'm sorry about that! It was just working before. I thought I fixed that problem... Well, I guess I didn't upload the updated version. Expect an updated char in a few minutes.

Transparent: Sorry, but this is a problem that is unfixable. This is because the herring itself is a bit transparent but it is less noticeable because of it's small size.

Edit: The updated version is up and running.

Ok since the skinner applications have been a bit dry, I will move onto somthing else (and I'm having trouble to get the squirrel to stop going through fences). A fish, a fish that can be made from any type of fish except the remora. But I want your suggestions. This fish will be released to
the general pulic, not an exclusive. Hint: I like feshwater fish.

Example of what a suggestion should look like:

Species: Cooper Creek catfish
Biome: Scrub

Panda King: As of now, only if you have a very good reason and my express permission.

PS There will be a surprise non-fish animal

As I was exploring the northern Spanish mountains, a small little animal crept out of a nearby flower patch with it's friend watching close behind. So small and helpless... what could it be?*

It's called a Broom Hare! And do you see that plant that it's crawling in, that is a Spanish Broom. I thought it was funny that they live in the exact same region and they are both called broom.

The Broom Hare and the Spanish Broom will be coming to websites near you.
