You should make a separate mini patch that adds feathers and quills onto the dinosaurs for other people that want it, I'm fine with the current dinosaurs atm btw.

Or someone else should if it becomes too much work.
He's already stated that none of the dinosaurs besides the raptors will be feathered (which I'm perfectly fine with), davidy and I were just making a suggestion.
What makes you think I didn't read what DM said, I was just making a suggestion for you guys that want the feathers or quills on the dinosaurs. :/

Oh, never mind then. If we want quills and feathers, we can presumably just edit them onto the models ourselves.

Anyway, let's get back on topic.

This footprint is an awesome idea, and a really good point for those who enjoy the S&T, the geniality is on the little details like this!

I'm curious about its coding, would be possible to encode this footprints to appear only on certain kind of grounds? for example, appear on the mud, but not on the grass? I saw some similar effects coded to do this on other games and the effect is pretty realistic, but I don't know if this could be possible on ZT2.

Also, thank you very much for your last news, releases and improvements!
Looking at the maindict.xml will give you the answer. ;P Yes it seems to be possible, at least you can differentiate between the different biomes and the different grounds, too. ;)

I'm just loving these new theropod animations, just watching the Giga's watch and seeing the little footprints it leaves and the stomping sounds it makes is so much fun (for me anyway) but I love the new particle effects the most, though you stated you added 4 but I've only spotted 3 of them, the blood, the water dripping from its mouth and the water spilling of its body when it comes out of water after swimming. Though one tiny thing is that I find the footprints of the dwarf allosaur to be bigger than its feet, there's also a weird glitch when more then one footprint appear in the same place.

Yeah, there's the usual problem with soft alphas, they don't blend with other soft alphas but kill them :P
As I said currently the footprint size is somewhere between the ideal footprint size for each theropod, I'm trying to figure out a simple way to code it ;)

I'd like to ask a slight question: Will you be featuring Triceratops in the Death of a Dynasty part, or will it just be Torosaurus?

I second this, considering the trike still made an appearance in the show, albeit as rex lunch. It'd also be a nice little touch to have that little carnivore dinosaur that the rex ate from wandering around in the sulfur fields, possibly as a live food item.

The Triceratops most likely won't be included ;)

Quite a shame, then.

What about that little dinosaur from the sulfur fields? If you don't know which one I'm referring to, look here about 3:20 onward.

Considering it's barely recognisable and appears for less time than the Triceratops, I kind of doubt it :P

This has been mentioned many times, HENDRIX won't, besides there really isn't much need for a wwb pack now that I look at some of the newer releases now.

Look guys, when did I say "Please ask questions about contents, further packs, included animals, additional features [...], especially if they have already been asked for dozens of times before!" ?? I do not think I ever did so, and frankly, it really gets annoying. ;)

Also, I don't really dig whenever I don't do something the way you people want it to be, it's a "shame", it "sucks" etc. There are other people who can design just as well, and if you don't like when a designer doesn't create the animal you want: don't whine around, learn designing and design it yourself!
Again I shall point out that this is my project, not yours: I decide what I do, how I do it and when I do it. This also answers the question about WWB. And I have to mention that reading comments like these makes me not exactly more eager to release upcoming parts...

The "dino fanboy"-clientele is really the most exhausting...

And to bring it up again, the "I don't understand" button is almost exclusively used as a "Dislike" button, so please finally rename it that way
