SLGray 551 Posted September 12, 2020 General Information: Creator: Lgcfm Original Creator(s): Aurora Designs Language(s): Any Downloads Required: Radical Remake Bugs: None known Extra Information: Credits: Aurora Designs for models and original skins. Yi Qi for texture used on spotless cheetah. Bunyupy for texture used on black and white zebras. Azrael & magpiealamode for testing and ingame pics. Thom for bugfixing. Description: Variant skins for your RR animals, all based on real photos. These variants will show up in placed animals as well as those born in the zoo when they grow up. Depending on the variant some might be as common as the normal skin, or very rare (albinos and special patterns). Make sure they are below RR files in your ZT2 folder for them to show up properly. Might conflict with other animal hacks or variants.

You can redownload it from Aurora Designs' website. Bonus Features: Public Domain? The original skins as well as models are property of Aurora Designs so you should ask them for permission, not me. Feel free to use my skins if you have their permission. Deleting variants you don't want It is understandable that you might not want all these variants in your game, either because you don't use a certain animal, you don't particularly like those variants, you want to use alternative variants made by someone else, you don't want such a heavy file, etc. If that is the case you can easily delete those variants by doing the following: 1- If you don't have a zipping program, get 7-Zip. It's very useful and completely free, so you won't ever be asked to buy it like with winzip. 2- Open zzzzzzzzzzRR Variants.z2f using 7-Zip or another zipping program of your choice. No need to extract it. 3- You will see a folder called entities inside, with more folders inside it. For every animal that you don't want variants of, you will need to delete two things: 4- Go to entities/units/animals and delete the folders for the animals you don't want. Don't delete the ai folder. 5- Go to entities/units/animals/ai and delete the .xml files for the animals you don't want. Note that the names will be a bit different depending on the animal. That's it, now your file contains only the variants you want. I decided to release the updated RR variants file now (delete the old file): This file also includes the standard variant selector script for your convenience. As a last minute fix, now the mandrill and walrus are adoptable in campaign/challenge mode (they still have their model variants): (fame req was edited to 1/2 stars for testing but it's back to normal) I'm still planning to include more features in a future update, but figured this was good enough for now. I hope you enjoy it and let me know if you notice anything off (e.g. animal growing into a very different skin).Though remember to check for conflicts as other files that edit the base game animals will clash with this. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz RR Variants + Patch.z2f Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
