Ok If the two pterosaurs in my unfinished project thread are repaired. I will add them to a pack of pterosaurs that will always be changing called "Mesozoic dragons" And credit will be given of course. Also though I have now solved these on my own, dilo did the same thing...His has no bugs though. My first Pterosaur project besides the reworked Nyctosaurus now finally released. A owl and a Navajodactylus were released before it and now it will fly your skies. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vbjnntma2v0cdfa/Harpactognathus.z2f?dl=0 |

![]() For those who wish to see the pterosaurs before they download. Angu and Muz will be added if they are ever fixed. |

Ok... Either everyone loves putting little things in their DLs to make them hard to debug or Ape 2 is flawed. Every time I try to make something, everything that isn't a Azhdarcho model, it says there is problems debugging. I've wanted to make a Dark crow to go with my Owl. I tried Whalebite's hawaiian crow and it said it had trouble debugging. I tried to make a Jeholornis with 123's archeaopteryx and it said it had debugging issues too. I even wanted a dark fox and it goofed. Secretary bird? I couldn't touch that either. Every time I talk to someone about a problem, they say it is someone else's fault. Can Ape be fixed or have DLs that don't cause the debug problem. I want to make animals that have no ZT2 equal but my inexperience and a buggy system is driving me up the freaking wall, back into the ground, and right back up the wall again. So with that said, My downloads will be few and fair between until I get better(Practice makes perfect no?) and my unfinished projects topic will be very very full. I'm personally annoyed about the progress on jeholornis. I love that thing and yet I can't freaking get it to work. |

Instead of using other downloads as a base, which I honestly would never suggest unless you're 100% sure it's bugless and the download is PD, try using the original game files. Using the original game files is still the best way to learn how to code and to learn how things work. They're most likely to be bugfree ( not all, but let's say 98%). I know, it's easy to use other downloads as a base. I did it waaaay back when as well. But I can tell you from experience, I learned a lot more from studying and working with the original game files than by simply copying the work of someone else. It's harder, but it pays of. |

Like I said, I can clone my pterosaurs just fine with APE2. I can only recommend getting the latest APE2 (v24), taking out any hacks and trying other base animals, instead of being all whiny about it. |

I don't have any hacks anymore. I removed them thinking it would help the AD ostrich...it didn't. I'll upgrade the Ape 2. I was told to use version 20. Also I was using other because they have the model I want to use. As you can see I can skin and now put the skin onto the animals...but other things aren't my strong suit yet. |

Can't do the brow feathers due to texture issues later on so we decided to go with out them. Got a few things left and I can skin it... and possibly get my usually messed up skins textured to look like something professional XD |

I don't see why the brow feathers could cause a problem. With proper UV mapping, they should be able to be textured just fine. One could even overlap the UVs for these 'brow feathers' directly over top those for the feather alphas behind the beak. They would have the same exact texture, but they don't appear much different in your little MS Paint on your sig. Don't even need to be extruded from the same mesh if that's the problem, you could just use two subdivided planes bound to the same object. I do it with teeth when I design, so I don't see why two little feathers couldn't use the same method. Edited by MonsterHunterGarth, Dec 29 2016, 05:01 PM.

Well I am playing with ways to skin the Dark Phoenix. Though I am familiar with paint, this is the Dark Phoenix. I want it perfect. SO I have the UV's printed and currently I am doing them by hand... some of you may recall me asking about that way of skinning in a topic a while ago. After that, I am scanning them and sending them to Dinorex to help me finish up. Those of you familiar with how I draw my phoenix may already know the color scheme.... or at least the face. |

Doesn't Blender also have and "add duplicate" feature? Highlight the verts you want to duplicate (the "mustache" alphas in this case), hold shift and press d and the get a copy of that particular body part, and them rotate the copied part so that it fits where you want to move it to, and weight paint it to the new location. Example, if the original alpha was on the leg, and you want a similar alpha, on it's head, you have the weight paint it, so that it is weighted to the head only. this may not need to be done if the original was already in the same area though. |

Yes, this project has been in the making for a while. The last one was a up scaled and recolored peacock from BF. This is a overhaul that I am very happy with so far. The skin is drawn and I am awaiting on my sister to assist me in scanning it in so I can send it to Dinorex. The skin has familiar areas such as the Kiss-like purple markings on the face, the dotted crest, and the stripes along the neck, but I also added some new areas in the skin. Some of you know from the spam forum that even though the Dark Phoenix is mostly dark colors such as navy blue, purple, and black, the Phoenix also has gold feathers... well I tried figuring out were they would go but had a hard time figuring that out. The tail is patterned, the Wing is patterned, the head is patterned...then I looked at the blank canvas that is the back. I assure you folks, you will love this. |
