The new pack overall is outstanding! Well done HENDRIX... Really hope you do the Jurassic!

The Argentinosaurus has a 6 issues that I've noticed so far...

1. Front feet sink into the ground slightly.

2. The lower portion of the foreleg appears to move weird, but the upper portion of the foreleg moves fine.

3. My Zookeepers keep putting down tons of meat in the Argentino's habitat... I don't see why???

4. Seem to be to slow to keep up with Stimulation needs, Is angry all the time

5. Back legs seem to be way to close together.

6. When they're angry the try to bash the fence but end up walking into the air and go up and down.

I've noticed a few bugs on the pteranodon. It seems to move really slow, when pteranodons would have been warm blooded & swift, & it sleep or rest.
They only would have been swift in the sky, most likely. The fact that their arms and legs were intimately linked by their wing membranes probably would have hindered their movement on the ground (azhdarchids were special as they were specifically adapted for a terrestrial life and had more loosely connected membranes, but Pteranodons by contrast were probably rather clumsy on land).
Actually, most Azdarchoidea, including Thalassodromeids, would be nicely adapted for life on the ground :)

Yes, but Pteranodon was not an Azhdarchoid. I'd already stated that azhdarchoids were special in my post.

EDIT: Speaking of the Pteranodon, I've noticed that they won't sleep or rest, and as such they will get mad at me after a while for not satisfying their rest needs. Other than that it is a beautiful animal and one that I look forward to using in my S&T's, but you still might want to make some sleeping anims for it. ;)

You stated Azhdarchids, not Azdarchoids ;) And Pteranodontians are Ornithocheiroids ;)
But we're going off-topic.

Or have it stand still & close its eyes.

Sorry, I meant to type Azhdarchoid, but it appeared my finger missed the "o" key. xD But anyway, back on topic.

As soon as I noticed how many new pages there were in this topic than earlier, I knew there was a release! Thanks DM!

The polar allosaur/Australovenator/whatever it is looks awesome as well!

Even then, most pterosaurs were much better at running, walking etc. than people give them credit for. Only the real early pterosaurs were hindered by their wing membranes, later species were already much more capable of terrestrial movements ( of course Azdarchoidea were even more adapted to it ). ;) Again, Mark Wittons book as a reference xD

Though I must say that the flying indeed needs some work. It's nice for high flying animals that primarily flew on thermal air currents, but Pteranodon was also a perfectly capable of doing flapping flight and use that kind of flying as well.

Yey! Thanks for the release and ofcourse fixing the bugs! I got goosebumps looking at the northern allosaur! You remain one of the best designers of zt2!

I'm kinda disappointed in how people immediately complained about the problems in the pack. :/ Dudes, what Hendrix did was groundbreaking, and a good number of the bugs you mentioned are easily fixable, and the man himself said he was gonna fix the rest.

In my case, I'm just extremely happy that I finally have this revolutionary pack. Thank you so much, Hendrix! :)

I think I have fixed everything mentioned now, and in addition to that, the catching of fish works now (again, I accidentally killed the code after testing :D ).

I also patched the Stand_Idle animation so that in the selection panel, it does not have the fingers straight when it's flying.

Quick question though, is it normal that my pteranodon didn't fly higher than lets say, a medium rock ingame ? :p It could be something I have that is bugging it up of course xD
