DarkRaptor13 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 We already have many skins for armors, items and creatures (Bionic, bones...). As many other games have done, will you create skin packs? You have people working on new looks for the old dinos, so after TLC pass and the next DLC they could work on skins for creatures? This way players could get more diversity as they are looking for more creatures, but without having to create fully new creatures. Visual reskin don't change the game mechanics or stats so it wouldn't be a pay-to-win if you offer skin packs. Many possibilities: More bionic skins to give a scifi look, maybe zombies skins too ? And event skins (christmas, halloween, summer holidays...) Skins that change the species (like megaloceros and Reindeer), for example: Sarcosuchus->Deinosuchus, alligator-like Pteranodon->Pterodactyl, without the crest Troodon-> Velociraptor, more feathers, longer head Para->Lambeosaurus, with a different crest Saber-> Dinofelis, a panther like cat with smaller teeth. Do you think some skin packs like that could be done or is WC against (paid) skin packs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOOSHROOM333 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 FANTASTIC JOB on TLC pass one, but it left me with some questions; What are your plans/date for the Wyvern tek Armour? Plans for Sabretooth to get it's own TLC abilities? It got sort of jipped. Will the Hive/Swarm ever be added to SE/AB in the style that the phoenix was added? maybe plans for Extinction then? or was it totally scrapped?

spoop Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 While the caves have been cemented as a challenge for ages will we ever see some sort of decrease in spawns? There always seems to be an absurd amount of creatures clumped everywhere. Are the AI TLC changes such as sleep cycles and sensory based aggression still on the table? Will the liopleurodon get its own TLC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rofelo Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Have you ever considered a tek saddle for the diplo? If you did what sort of things would you like to see the tek saddle do? Would it be like the ultrasaurus from zoids, with insane damage and a very long reload, would it have multiple gunner stations, or would it protect the rider and focus on some sort of melee/tek damage/knockback attack?

Here we have the item mesh for oil. no, i don't know where the barrel came from, yes, i run on Savoroot settings. Spoiler here we have cooked prime meat Spoiler here's where i first discovered item meshes. Spoiler here we have raw meat, not my pic, as you can tell. Spoiler here we have berries, unfortunately they all share this mesh, but it's still better than a box Spoiler i have no idea how to unspoiler Well, i think i proved my point, and there are more meshes then i showed here. Thatch, narcotics, rare mushrooms, probably rare flowers, stone, crystal, Metal ingots, and i'm sure there are more to discover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the reason I linked above: Quote → source It is not happening any longer, which is why it was removed from the patch notes. Incorporating unique meshes for all items would cause memory to suffer. We had to scratch it based on the grounds of a performance hit if it was added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator invincibleqc Posted February 18, 2018 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2018 Though the models were added in the DevKit, so been used by modders but was not implemented into the base game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feces get's a hard pass, sense everything drops it (yes, i know it's not from earthquakes, but still). But silica pearls are only produced by Phoenix, which are an end-game tame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, since Phonixes poop pearls; they have a mesh. Would make no sense for them to poop boxes, would it? I'm pretty sure they analyzed and profiled the resource cost carefully before scratching them out. I mean, they already have the models ready so there was no reason to not implement them unless they are drastically causing the memory to suffer like they said. If I had to guess, I would say that the earthquakes are using the meshes because they are "controlled" drops. And by controlled I mean that they cannot be flooded by thousands by players trying to make the servers lag and/or crash in worst case. If anything, it would be nice if it was a server option so we could enable them on our servers without mods if we wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
