VNDragon's ZT1 Projects

[VNDragonV2]

 

Some actual new contents this time. I have never been a fan of how hay-yellow the bison is and how there is a greenish yellow tinge on the grizzly bear, so I decided to brownie-fy (or chocolat-ey) them. Partly inspired by Jymn and Serpy's recent palette edits.


The top versions are the ones I think I will settle on. But I did experiment about 6-7 different versions for each animal. Sadly there is no variant support in ZT1. Wood bisons and wisents are quite noticeably different from the American plains bison, but I can see the grizzly alts be repurposed to some other brown bear subspecies in the future.

@MarineIguana97 Có lẽ đây không phải là cái cập nhập bạn mong chờ nhưng cái plaque bạn làm cho con bison load được khá ổn trong game.

ENG: MarineIguana97's plaque for the steppe bison has been loaded successfully ingame.

Trước hết, cảm ơn bạn vì đã thêm cái plaque của con bison kia của mình.

Thứ 2, kia có phải là 1 con bò sát biển :0.

Con này là Pholiderpeton của Hawkkeye. Hiện nó là một trong vài con đã bị gỡ khỏi Tek và Google Drive. 
ENG: This is Hawkkeye's Pholiderpeton. It is no longer available at either Tek or the Google Drive.

True, but you can make the males, females, and babies different colors. Just a thought. :-)

Great idea! Maybe I should go that route and add dimorphism. :)

Do you know what page this was on? I'm trying to cross-reference to see if I've got it in my files.

It was page 49. Pholiderpeton, Tymonia, Eogyrinus from that pack are no longer available.

@HeatherL I got the young bison to use a separate palette now, but I can't seem to introduce sexual dimorphism to the adult bisons. We are still lacking resources on hex editing, but theoretically this should be possible since Jymn did a number of them.

Anyway, I sidequested a little bit. This is a hack that I have configured a while ago but only got around to compiling them into a file just now upon a request from Khaydar. 

 

Underwater volcanoes are well-known, and they spew lava right to the ocean floor despite all that water pressure above them, so it stands for reason that we should be allowed to place the volcanoes ingame underwater too.

Another structure associated with volcanic activity on the ocean floor is the hydrothermal vent. Sadly we don't quite have anything like that in the game yet. I decided to chuck the existing steam vents and geysers too so they can function as makeshift hydrothermal vents.

 

 

Aside from tank compatibility, I also made them exhibit neutral, indestructible, and reduce their footprints for easier landscaping.
 

 

I know some users prefer new items over hacks. While I don't have time to turn these into unique items, anyone who want to do so are welcomed to take a jab at them. Otherwise, the hack should have no impact on your old zoos. Credits to Pixigger's Exhibit Scenery for inspiring me to find ways to make more existing scenery items exhibit-friendly. The file has been submitted to Zooberry and should be available soonish.

 

Here is an example enclosure, as a bonus.
