Well, the fish prop is too large, can only be disabled.

Hooray for bad designing from the original creators!

The prop is fine, the animal is just smaller than most bf animals it was intended for, not a result of bad designing.. |

Sorry, didn't know that, well I guess I'll just have to live with it. The pack is still amazing nonetheless. PS: I see you decided to leave out guest attack animations with the theropods, that's okay though. Won't stop me from posing them in NifSkope to make them eat delicious humans.

Kind of wish BF put in a way to resize such things though for each animal.

I wouldn't blame it on BF. I don't think making the game mod-friendly was one of their top concerns at the time they were designing ZT2.

I finally got to test the updated dinosaurs (and the boa), and I'm thrilled with the new theropod animations, the blood and water particles, but specially with the way footprints and the footsteps sounds work. However I think the sound should be more intense and heard from farther distances in a large dinosaur like Giganotosaurus, but if it's something easy to alter I can look into it myself. Now for some dreaded questioning: do you plan on adding footprints for other dinosaurs? |

Well, it makes most sense to add it with new anims for a couple of reasons, so I will probably only do it with a new animation set. Maybe some of the others will get them eventually, too. There's no point in Coelophysis or other small animals having them, though That can be altered very easily, in entities/sound there's the xml for each animal and you can modify the values for each sound, distance and volume most notably. I didn't want to make it much louder, since I don't think the feet crashed into the ground (waste of energy, very bad ) but probably moved precisely and accurate. That's how it's animated, too. You would expect louder sounds in something that walks in an awkward way, kinda like the BF T .rex does, duck gait, where the feet hit the ground very hard.

Well it doesn't have to be TOO loud xd just a wee bit more noticeable, kinda like Jurassic Park when the Tyrannosaurus is approaching. |

That is quite too loud, especially for a predator which should approach silently its prey ... |

Ok fine, the JP scene was a bad example xd but still my concern is that the Giga's footsteps aren't very audible unless you're right next to its feet. Also about the pack, something I've been meaning to ask out of curiosity: when/if you get to the part with Brachiosaurus, will it have the straightened, slightly falling forward neck seen in the documentary or will it be a more vertical and S-shaped one? At the time of WWD sauropods necks were in their always-horizontal position trend, but the current understanding is that they had vertical necks (except for Diplodocus and relatives). TL;DR: will Brachiosaurus keep the neck seen in the show as one of the things that keep WWD's charm? |

The only other dinosaur I think would be cool if it had footsteps is the argentines aureus, but the sound would go great with most. |

What do you mean? The neck of the WWD Brachiosaurus looks pretty vertical to me. |
