Animals+

We're currently looking for coders!! Right now it's just me (an artist) and one or two other people currently working on this. Anyone who'd like to help, no matter the experience, is more than welcome to message me for details!! We might also be interested in another artist as well!

About
Animals+ is a little group project that aims to diversify the various biomes in the game! As of right now, I've got seventeen animals textured, with tons more planned! Most, if not all of them, are just there to diversify and make things more fun! I've got more than eight animals per biome that I'm working on making art for right now! That's...a lot.

Current Features

The graphics are currently finished for the following animals:

African Wild Dog ("Painted Wolf" in-game) Tiger Domestic Goat Munchkin Cat Bison Hippo Lion Cheetah Beavers! Regular ones, at least.

Amur Leopard Snow Leopard Black Bear Moose Tiger Reindeer Walrus Wooly Rhino Red Panda Tapir

These animals are coded:

Giraffe

Preview some of the textures here!

Planned Features

- All of the animals listed on this sheet.
- If possible, mounts! Would love to have some horses.
- Some of the animals added will have unique drops! Tusks, especially valuable leather, and perhaps more!
- Sometime in the future, I'd also love to look into maybe incorporating more animal-related mechanics.[/*][/list]

The Team

Wanna join and help out? Shoot me a PM! I've got a handy little sheet set up for everything that should make it pretty easy to follow. We're currently not looking for artists.

Ekksu - Artist / Minor Coding
ShortBear - Coding
Whizzard - Coding

Downloads

Currently none :c This is still very much a WIP project! Downloads will be available as soon as we have an acceptable amount of animals done!

Is it possible to have random textures for animals or items? Like, if I fill a folder with a bunch of different textures, is there a way to just point the game towards the folder and have it pick a random set of textures?

[Examples!]

I've recently been having a lot of fun making animals for the game, but I'm more of an artist than I am a coder, so I'm not sure I'll really be able to get everything all nice and neat? But if there are any coders interested in doing something with some of these sprites, please let me know! I'm also taking requests if anyone wants to suggest animals on this page.

Examples!

Credits / Licences
Modpackers are allowed to put any of these mods in their pack so long as they credit and link back to this thread. Most of these mods are simple and easy, so feel free to make derivative mods! Just let me know, because I'd love to see them!

[Textures (a16)]

Please let me know if this is either in the wrong place or not allowed! But in my venture of modding the game, I had some problems getting assets unpacked to edit and use. The tutorial on the wiki was incorrect, but I managed to figure it out on my own. So! For ease of access, I've zipped most of them into archives for modders to download so it's easier to use and edit. Textures are all .png files with transparency, and I'm working on unpacking other assets as we speak. If anyone has any requests, let me know!

Textures (a16)

Heya! Getting into modding, and I'm trying to add more animals as caravan/pack animals. I've been sorting through the .xml files, and I haven't been able to find it anywhere in any of the defs where I figured it'd be. Where is it? Or is it in the .dll files? I think I might've missed it, but I'm not sure.
