How can I prevent hhis:

It's a usermade animal by myself. So I want to know how I can prefent this. And in the animal adoption menu it's the same.

Kiekebanus

you need to keep the transparancy of the .dds file. One way to do that is to recolor using this guide

Thanks, I hop it will work now.

kiekebanus · « **Reply #3 on:** July 10, 2006, 03:18:24 AM »

Ok, it works now. But now i'm creating another animal. And this animal doesn't appaer in the adaption menu. But the zoopedia works.

Please help!!

penguinman · « **Reply #4 on:** July 10, 2006, 06:56:39 AM »

Well the problems could be from:
Badly named folders
THe entities/units/animals/ai files not working
Or making the z2f file badly

kiekebanus · « **Reply #5 on:** July 10, 2006, 02:10:46 PM »

I have looked, but I can't find anything wrong.

What do I wrong!?

kiekebanus · « **Reply #6 on:** July 11, 2006, 06:53:24 AM »

I still don't know what I do wrong. So I have stopped with this animal.

But I have another question.

Can you made a Adult female of a baby that looks different then the adults.

penguinman · « **Reply #7 on:** July 11, 2006, 07:10:28 AM »

Sorry you had to stop that animal

Yes, you can make the baby an adult. The way to do this is to take the baby .nif file and then copy it and paste it. Then rename it the same as the adult female's .nif file and delete the adult female's.

Hope this makes sense!

Thanks for the explenation. It makes sense and ik works.

But I have another question (yeah, another one :blushing: ).

I now working with the caribou. Can you delete the beard of it? If so, how do you must do that. Because i tried and it dind't work

penguinman · « **Reply #9 on:** July 12, 2006, 09:00:23 AM »

You have to edit the alpha channel and make it transparent. If you are using DXTBMP this is easy, would you like me to explain how?

That would be handy.

penguinman · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2006, 09:23:30 AM »

Ok, tell me if anything is unclear.

You should already have DXTBMP since I explained that earlier. So now, load the beard file in there. Now, in the top right section will be a black and white image. Set the editor to paint, and then double click on the black and white image. Now, in paint, make the entire thing black, save it, go back to DXTBMP, refresh, and save

First of all thanks for explaining me. It works :IloveZA:

But I was looking in the download database and i saw that you can have a gazelle as deer (boreal forest pack). How do you do that. That should make my deer more realistic.

csleesburg · « **Reply #13 on:** July 20, 2006, 10:05:36 AM »

Well, since I did the black-tailed deer, I can answer that. You just use the dds from the male caribou for the male, and the female gazelle for the female deer. All that's required is to re-color her, and in the ai and bfm file, change her scale (so she's a little larger). It doesn't matter when you 'mix' male/female models, as long as you name things correctly. :original:

kiekebanus · « **Reply #14 on:** July 31, 2006, 03:42:17 AM »

Thnx Cleesburg.:IloveZA:

But I started a short time ago with making paths. I have only one problem my path has realy weird colors.

Here's a screen:

How do you make it normal?

penguinman · « **Reply #15 on:** July 31, 2006, 06:57:39 AM »

Sometimes this happens if the dds file is not saved right. Be sure to save it as DXT3 :original:

kiekebanus · « **Reply #16 on:** July 31, 2006, 11:37:09 AM »

Thanks, I had it save on DXT1. Now I save it right and it works.

penguinman · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2006, 11:40:20 AM »

Great! Glad I could help

kiekebanus · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2006, 03:20:50 AM »

Hey,

If I make a pad and I haven the 2 xp's. Will it than work with only the original ZT2.

dinosauricon · « **Reply #19 on:** August 03, 2006, 04:43:26 AM »

I've a question. Can you remove the horns of the Caribou?

penguinman · « **Reply #20 on:** August 03, 2006, 07:26:19 AM »

kiekebanus: Yes, if you have no XPs it will only work with no XPs.

dinosauricon: Currently no one knows how to do that.... sorry

kiekebanus · « **Reply #21 on:** August 03, 2006, 08:28:08 AM »

Sorry, explained my question wrong.

This is teh right quetion:
If you made a path and you HAVE ES and AA, Will it work too without the XP's.

If it's made without the Materials files, it should. Just make sure and use the original entities files for a basis.

kiekebanus · « **Reply #23 on:** August 04, 2006, 04:19:49 AM »

Thnx for explaining it.

But another question. Can you change the star rating of a animal or a object when it's avaible.

kiekebanus · « **Reply #24 on:** August 13, 2006, 06:15:10 AM »
