Zoo Tycoon 2: Dino Tweaks Pack; One designing noob's quest for realism.
Topic Started: Jul 16 2010, 06:41 PM (2,464 Views)
Dino Keeper
A Remnant of Times Past

Hello there! Today I am announcing a pack I'm making- a pack of hacks and probably re-skins that I will create in an attempt to make Zoo Tycoon's dinosaurs more realistic. Already released (heck, released even before I thought to make an actual pack) is the Ankylosaurus re-size; some of you may have downloaded it at my site. Here's what I'm working on at the moment- two hacks that are complete unless I decide to make skins for their respective animals:

Stegosaurus re-size

Utahraptor re-size

Other dinos slated for realism are as follows:
Carnotaurus
Tyrannosaurus
Triceratops
Styracosaurus
Kentrosaurus
Deinonychus (especially if DM's raptor mesh is already rigged)

Also, any suggestions are welcome, but please look at these notes first:
-I cannot put quills on the ceratopsians because I know nothing about meshing or alpha channels. :Awesome:
-I don't plan to edit Stokesosaurus. :P

Finally, if you think you can help me with this in some way, show me what you can do and I might let you aboard. I don't really need much help, but company is welcome. :P

I am very happy about you doing this. So, will you make realistic animals that are alive, or just these?

I'm not sure... I'm considering a re-size the great white, though.

Dude, don't we know each other at all?* :eyeroll: Why on earth would I give it feathers?
And before KCS or Austroraptor comes in here saying how it must have had feathers because of its relatives and all that stuff, until I see fossil evidence of T-Rex feathers, I will not believe that the most famous dinosaur ever was a chicken on steroids. >_>

*Seriously, though, we are both part of the Christian club. :P

Any way, the resizes are great. It would be equally great if you made reskins. :D

well then your going to hate me coming in here... :P anyways, I'm not into getting hacks for my game, but I'm sure people are going to like this who like realism.


and if you are going for realisim a rex with feathers would be good. not one covered in feathers, I'm saying like a crest on the back of a line of feathers from the snout to the eyes or something.

Oh, a realism pack, great idea! :D And about the Rex, in my opinions, only the young and the juvenile must have feathers , the adult could be less, only a bit on the tail. Of course this is just my suggestion. ^_^
