Ok, then will release it during nighttime for me (b-day party)
The jellyfish eats zooplankton and with the phytoplankton download all zooplankton eaters will eat phytoplankton too.

Done w/ the icon!

Warning to all designers thinking about make an Ambient into an animal: Unless you are willing to sacrifice a lot of time trying to perfect the animations (the absolute hardest part for me) then either get somebody to do that for you or don't do it. I sometimes just got bored out of my mind because of how long that bfm (the file that gives the animations names)

Ok, as soon as I found out that the ai file held how tired the animal got, what's it's excercise needs, ect, I just needed to make the jellyfish as "dum" (no brain) as posssible, because it will now hardly ever need excercise, stimulation, ect. so that all you need to put in the exhibit is zooplankton! And I will upload it after I finish the final touches!
And the jellyfish can have from 2 to 7 babies, but they only need 15 squares and each additional only needs 4squares(no brain)

Neato! I'd be willing to devote a lot of time. I really wanna make the ambients into real animals. So my guess is It'll be out by the beginning of March? :)

Don't rush, but I cannot wait. :silly:

Wow, big week, so glad it's over, but here is a pic of the jellyfish and one of it's varients:
Main Skin
Varient 3 (You will just have to see the other 2 ;) In case you are wondering where that varient came from it came from here.
1 problem: I don't know how but the jellyfish always has it's rest on critical, I will look into it

Yeah I think the tutorial will be out by the beginning of march
The problem is the diversity between the ambients. I can tell you right now that the fish from MM2 are the easiest and the birds and crabs are the hardest (hard to make it that the crabs don't float)

Once, on land but it is so much harder than birds (forgot to say that) and it is so different than any other ambient that either it will be on land like the bullfrog or if somebody can try to make it that it won't try to go for buoys, it will only stay on the bottom, ect.
But making it into a land crab but it will still go into shallow water is very possible

and about the eating, you don't create more nodes, although I'm sure there's a way, you use existing ones
