I want all of the babies to be born with 1 skin (a very dark gray). My first version had nothing added to the young .xml, and the babies are born with any of the adult skins. So I tried to add coding to the young .xml to designate the young skin as their default (and only) skin. Launched the game, waited for the adults to breed, and when the baby was about to be born, the game crashed. So I'm assuming it had something to do with the coding I added into the .xml.

Basically, I want the baby seals to work the same way a baby tapir does. Adults have their skins, baby has it's own. Just not sure how to do it.
Wait, I thought that already happened with the game? This whole time I thought the baby had one skin and when it grew it would get one of the different variants that the adults had. Are you saying that when your baby seal grows it keeps it's baby skin?

No, when it grows up it gets the default adult skin (MonkSealHawaiian_Adult_F.xml) as opposed to getting one of the variants. Ideally, it would be born with the baby skin and grow up into one of any of the adult skins. I was under the impression that originally, you could have a default baby skin, but it would only grow up into the default adult skin, and not any of the variants...

Your right MIBound, the game is coded for them to be born default and grow up default. Ghost broke that barrier down by making baby variants that grow into adults variants.

I wanted to release this since it is working in-game, though (admittedly) with some bugs and issues-of-note.
  • When you place the seal in an exhibit, no matter how big it is, the space requirement will show up as "Critical" unless you install deep water inside the exhibit. This is something else I will be trying to change or fix in the future.
  • Once your seals have successfully bred, move the female out of the exhibit and place her somewhere on the map (it can be another exhibit or just outside of the original exhibit). Give it a few seconds and if the mating was successful, her pregnancy status will change.
  • Babies are born with a random adult skin and will grow up into the default adult skin. I'm working on it :3
Enjoy! If any other bugs or issues that are found, please notify me via PM or here (PM is preferred). I'll be taking a break from my own projects for a little bit to work on some collaborations that have stacked up and been neglected because of work and RL obligations. Thank you to everyone who has been supportive and helpful; you all made this process (i.e. learning how to make my own animals) enjoyable. <3

I'd like it to be as complete and functional as possible. Iben is going to be poking at it when he has the time, so hopefully I'll be able to release an improved version eventually :)
