The snake is already released, but that has more to do with the topic for his other projects than his WWD pack. ;)

Many thanks for this awesome release man !
Kinda surprised the snake can't use arboreal shelters, but considering how much you have done already that's a really minor thing.
And just a question, do you think the "walking" animations could work for eels too ?

Well, for the snake to use arboral shelters, it would need climbing animations. Things get problematic there:

-Either it only gets to use walking animations on the tree, but then it'd look stiff and would slither...

-Long version: Or I could have tried to create climbing anims, but those would only look good with a custom shelter anyway. That wouldn't be much of a problem if animating the snake was not so incredibly difficult. I've used a Spline IK (a feature only introduced in the new versions - allows you to have bones follow a curve - a snake wouldn't have been possible without this tool) in blender 2.7 to animate, but only blender 2.49 can work for ZT2. So I have devised lots of tricks to be able to even get the anims into 2.49. But the Spline IK itself has some bugs, it messes up the rotations of the bones. The more complicated the curve gets, the more likely it is to mess up. The results are randomly rotated sections of the snake... It occured the more often the further the curve for the spine bows up and downwards, even the curling was very tedious to get to work without an error, because the snake lies ontop of itself. So even if I had tried to create a climbing anim, it would have been almost impossible to get to work without rotation errors, so I quickly dropped the idea. This is also why it has no killing anims or anything beyond the absolutely needed set.
Short version: It is impossible to get proper climbing anims done with blender xD

Well, it would work for eels, just needs to be coded properly xD

Does anyone else have the problem with the dwarf allosaurus in that the female is going to lay an egg but only keeps making nests everywhere and never stops in the making of nests but never lays the egg...
Try crating and uncrating it. That's what worked for me last time an animal refused to lay eggs.
I'm having these egg laying issues aswell, female gets pregnant, and then gets stuck in a loop when she starts the lay her eggs, a nest appears, but then she continues to walk around making nests, without any eggs.

And I've tried the "crating and uncrating" thing, but that just results in the animal no longer being pregnant.

Also am I the only person who having trouble with the boa over-shooting the reptile pool and sinking into the ground when it uses the pool? It approaches the pool coils up next to it, but then jolts forward slightly (no longer coiled) enters the pool, slithers through the pool starts to sink into the ground and coiled up again somewhere under the ground next to the reptile pool. The heat lamp doesn't have any issues though.

So if the boa is placed with other animals it won't kill them?

That's even better for mixed exhibits!

I also have the sinking boa problem.

I think we should talk about the boa in his project thread, not here. ;)

I find a bug in WWD Spirits Of The Ice Forest, the femelle "dwarf allosaurus" full built nests but never lays!

Ok I found the problem, I added an anim for each egg laying, but somehow it didn't like that. xD
