Modding Q&A thread

i understand the sentiment, but i don't think it counts as much as double-posting when there's about a week inbetween the posts  if i'd double-posted within an hour or two, then we'd have a problem

any answers on my earlier question?

Question: Is it possible to have a dead skin (ex. Parasauralophus) come out of the Carn Feeder? I have hungry scavengers that need replenishment.

At the moment, I've replaced the goat with an inanimate meat piece.

that'd certainly be an interesting development--could work well for machinima makers, too

So i saw in some videos that it's possible to create denser jungles. What to i need to modify to have that?

You need to go to "TreeDist.ini", find bubbles and modify from 240 for any number what you want, but remember. More than 5000 then the game will crash.

4999 it is, then 

Question: Is it possible to convert the hatchery into something (trees) that looks more natural on Site B mode? Changing the model (and powerbox) works, but the dinos have no way of exiting the grid box (no hatchery door). I attempted some .INX work but have been unsuccessful.

i'd still appreciate an answer to my earlier post. i'll reiterate:

how many fossil sites can be added into the game? i want to know because i have a rather interesting idea of essentially replacing the fossil dig menu with a species list instead where it literally just has all the dinos listed out (obviously this would conflict with alot of other mods) and each one is essentially given a check mark (the actual fossil site in terms of game mechanics). each fossil site here would provide just one dinosaur so you can pick and choose exactly which species you want in your park.

i'll also be upfront: this is mainly for a larger mod idea i have and is intended as a way around the known restrictions to fossil sites so that there aren't fossil sites where you have unrelated species from completely different places and time periods together in a fossil site (say, compys in the Flaming Cliffs since they're modded from the galli)

I have no clue to how to make another dig site. Those that do don't show up as much as I thought they would.

On another note, for the denser jungles, we won't be needing to up the trees distance when theres already modelers putting five trees in one model.

Can OG be installed on W10?

Yes, i run it myself on Windows 10 with no problems.

Hi,someone can help me with Reshader and JPOG? I tried with some versions and I can't make that work in JPOG,help please.

You have to use the d3d9 version. There's a function in the program that will rewrite the script of the d3d8 shaders to work with the 9 version. Make sure to install it to the SimJP.exe; also make sure you're computer is strong enough to handle the filters.

Thanks for the response, let's see if I'm able to install it, my notebook doesn't have a CD Drive so I'll try the cdless method that I saw on google. Sadly my last computer that did have a cd drive the game was not compatible with the graphics card apparently and would crash as soon as you tried to start up a save file, it only loaded the intro screen.

Set the model quality to 'High' in the Setup and run the game in Administrator mode.

I just tried it now, the game's still not loading unfortunately.

Whenever I try to launch my game with the mesozoic revolution mod it crashes after 5 seconds, without loading the main menu screen.
I tested my game with the forgotten mod and the JW pack and they world flawlessly.
Also 2 other mods by SpinoInWonderland, the cretaceous and jurassic expansions, cause my game to crash whenever any of the dinos from the mod is supposed to come out of the hatchery.

Does anyone know how to remove the blocking on the land cruiser?

That is because your PC don't support the skins in high resolution.

You mean the short distance of the road of the jeep? Yep,is so easy,you only need to change the line "JeepFuellimit" and the line "MaxSafariPathLenght".
I hope I helped to you

Thanks but I was talking about the "teeth blocking" on the grill you get when you skin the land cruiser

You could make an alpha for that part

I did :/

Are you sure that the alpha is in the skin?

I add the alpha channel manually

Is there a way to skin the fences or has that not been figured out yet?

Yes,the fences skins files are in the Fences_Hi.tml or Fences.tml

Thanks Troodon

is there a way to skin this model, i made the model using the tmd processing tool??
