So it has been almost a full year since the last update, and almost a full year since I've been using this mod. Definitely very useful, very well-made, and very satisfying, but I do ask; would it be possible if I could please modify this hack and possibly improve it(mostly in regards to editing the .ai files of the animals further and strive for even more accuracy and logic).

Hi, sorry I clearly haven't been checking the forum in recent months (although it's odd that I did not get notified by your comment at all...).
All Zoo Tycoon mods are public domain, so you are free to work on your own version of it. In hindsight, I might reverse the aquatic preference on Meiolania now, but I will skim the scientific literature again to see if any new arguments have risen on either side in the past years.

 

If I find your edits sensible I may even just update the current file with yours so we wouldn't have multiple versions in the download section.

Hi, I have been a huge fan of this mod ever since I installed it a year ago, and it has been part of the reason I have gotten into Zoo Tycoon again. I have been going through the arduous process of learning to mod myself, and am currently working on a more accurate plesiosaurus that is entirely aquatic, inspired by the accuracy that this combined mod brings. I have successfully made the plesiosaurus fully aquatic, and I just need to do some animation tweaks since there wasn't a submerged-aquatic eating animation already, and the plesiosaurus has a glitchy upwards swimming animation already present in the game. I'll post it when I finish it up, and if you'd like to add it to the combined mod, I would love that!

Is there any guides to the DD Combined Realism Hack that indicates how to make the best exhibits for the altered animals and additions, almost akin to how this website does so for the base animals?

Good grief I had no idea that Pixigger's site was still around.

I'll see what I can find out.

I found another time-capsule circa 2001 that is still up and is so fascinating to go through. I wish I could share it but some of the websites it links to are now parked at less-than-friendly URLs. Maybe I'll take screenshots later.
