Adding More Dinosaurs?

Hey, I was just curious as to whether or not one could add a new Dinosaur to be hunted in Carnivores 2?

I just downloaded Dahlberg's Carcharadontosaurus skin and rather than use it as a re-skin for the T-Rex, I attempted to add it as an entirely separate entity. By renaming many of the files included in the .zip as 'Dino10,' I did succeed in getting the game to register the Carcharadontosaurus as a possible hunting choice but once in game, it didn't appear on the radar.

So, is there a way to do this or am I just wasting my time? :P

Well it is possible to do...

Could you post what you entered in the _RES file...

well it would need to be set up like this

Code:
 


{
name = 'T-Rex'
file = 'tirex2.car'
ai        = 18
mass      = 6
length    = 12
radius    = 400
health    = 1024
basescore = 25
smell     = .85
hear      = 0.8
look      = 0.8
shipdelta = 168
danger    = TRUE
}

{
name = 'Carcharadontosaurus'
file = 'carchar.car'
ai        = 18
mass      = 8
length    = 14
radius    = 400
health    = 50
basescore = 25
smell     = 0.0.86
hear      = 0.9
look      = 0.65
shipdelta = 168
danger    = TRUE
}



both the "T-rex" and the "Carcharadontosaurus" need to be selected to hunt in order for the Carcharadontosaurus to appear on the map

Try to change ai from 18 to 19, it should help but I'm not sure



Oops, sorry but it's impossible, because if you type ai 19 instead of 18 then you Carchadontosaurus behave like trophy :D . And I was tryin to put Carchar. istead of Chasmosaurus but then he behave like herbivorous dinosaur (same as chasmosaurus)

So I think It's more complicated than we thought :blink:

Yeah, that's how I included Car in the code, Ecco. I'm still unsure as to why T-Rex has to be selected too and furthermore why Car replaces Rex entirely on the map. I was really hoping to have both of them as hunting options but I guess it must be one or the other.

Replace the Carcharodontosaurus with the allosaurus.

Brief explanation of _res stuff:

Code:
 
{
name = 'T-Rex'  <-- Dinosaur's name
file = 'tirex2.car' <-- File used for the dinosaur
ai        = 18 <-- *IMPORTANT* There are several AI ID's; All reflect the dinosaur's behavior.
mass      = 6 <-- Mass dividend
length    = 12 <-- Length Dividend
radius    = 400 <-- Radius dividend
health    = 1024 <-- Health points
basescore = 25 <-- The base score for the animal (Too me modified from in-game modifiers)
smell     = .85 <-- Smell multiplier
hear      = 0.8  <-- Hearing multiplier
look      = 0.8 <-- Sight multiplier
shipdelta = 168 <-- Height of trophy ships' hook to be set above the dinosaur
danger    = TRUE <-- Determines herbivore/carnivore
}

Try adding any new dinosaurs at the end of the list, even if they are "ambient" ones (in fact, those better be the very last ones).

Not that it matters but I'm the Ecco poster from above. I couldn't log in for some reason so I just made a new account.

Try this: Pick the first one (T-Rex or Carchar) that appears on the menu.

Parasaurolophus
Ankylosaurus
Stegosaurus
Allosaurus
Triceratops
Velociraptor
Spinosaurus
Ceratosaurus
T-Rex <------------------- Pick the first one only
Carcharadontosaurus

It should work now, McCracken.

Hey Machf, I tried your idea about adding new ambient dinosaurs, but it didn't work for me. I tried a Coelophysis (skin P.Rex made) and a Galimimus, but only the first one shows up, which is the Coelophysis. I don't think it works for ambient dinosaurs unless you did it differently.

So according to my Physics teacher, when you do a push-up, your actually pushing the earth away from you, not pushing yourself up. Look out Chuck Norris!
