I want to make a zebroid, but I can't find anywhere that will tell me what their latin species and subspecies names. I sorta need those for the zoopedia stuff.

Also, I don't know what rgb values to put in for different conservation statuses. Is there a list somewhere for that kinda stuff? Or for critically endangered would I put R=255 and everything else at zero?

Ahh!

Someone restore my sanity!

That's because they don't have a Latin name. The encyclopedia says:
Quote
Zebroid is the generic name for all of the zebra hybrids. The different hybrids are generally named using the convention of sire's name + dam's name. There is generally no distinction made as to which zebra species is used. See individual entries for more information on the different types of zebroid.

Zebra (stallion) + horse (mare): zorse or golden zebra
Zebra (stallion) + pony (mare): zony
Zebra (stallion) + Shetland pony (mare): zetland
Zebra (stallion) + any *** species (jenny): zebrass
Zebra (stallion) + donkey (jenny): zedonk, zeedonk, zonkey, zebronkey, zebadonk

Hope that helps? :happy:

Also, the status is in the animal's ai file. The line will read something like "s_Endangerment=Critical" (or endangered or rare). You can change this to whatever status is correct, including "low risk". It will assign the correct icon in the zoopedia. The "s" stands for "[COLOR="Red]status[/COLOR][/I][/B]"

I think Mika means in the lang file.

Usually this is what I do:
Low risk: r=0 g=225 b=0
Vulnerable: r=225 g=225 b=0
Endangered: r=225 g=0 b=0
Critical: r=100 g=0 b=0

Hope that helps.

Both are helpful, thank you!

And yes, I was talking in the lang file.

Thank you both very much!

yes hybrids do not have latin names so there names are written like this:
Equus quagga X caballus which basiacally is common zebra/ horse hybrid (a pony is a horse)
