About this mod
An overhaul of dinosaurs stats and behavior, bringing well needed changes such as small carnivores not being able to hunt hadrosaurs or large carnivores now able to socialice.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
List of Changes:
Behavior:
- Smaller carnivores such as Velociraptor now won´t be able to hunt hadrosaurs like Parasaurolophus.
- Medium carnivores on the smaller size (Metria and Majunga) can´t hunt the larger hadrosaurs like Edmontosaurus but will prey on the smaller ones, this being Muttaburrasaurus, Ouranosaurus and Maiasaura. They also won´t attack Nigersaurus
- These same medium carnivores also won´t dare to challenge the large ones. This means your Metriacanthosaurus won´t be picking fights with a Indominus
- Suchomimus, Baryonyx and Spinoraptor now can be kept with herbivores and now they go instead for the fish feeder.
- The mod enables the ability to socialice for medium, medium plus and large carnivores.
- Members of a herd should stick closer to each other and follow the leader more often, specially smaller dinos such as Gallimimus and Troodons.
- Changed the population needs of most species, for example Allosaurus now has a max population cap of the same specie of 3.
- Ankylodocus can´t be hunted by Indominus now.
- Large and Medium Plus carnivores now won´t hunt the Homalocephale, it makes no sense for such large carnivores to hunt something so tiny.
- The attack and defence stats have been changes to be more realistic, some of these changes include, smaller being species are overall weaker, herbivores in general have been buffed etc.
- Prices have been changed, now they are based mostly on the species size, smaller dinos being cheaper while the bigger ones being more expensive. The exeption to this are hybrids, for example the Indominus has a price of 26 millions just like in the movie.
- The rating also had a huge change, now making more sense as the more well known species like Triceratops and Velociraptor have higher ratings. Hybrids have the highest ratings of all the species.
- Herbivores are now harder to keep, as their now higher damage will make it easier for them to destroy the fences but their comfort threshold is much higher.
- Indominus and Indoraptor are much harder to contain, they have much higher resistance towards tranquilizers, Indominus in particular has higher damage (Meaning it can break fences easier) but both dinos comfort threshold is higher, with the use of confort genes being more than recommended.
- The enviroment needs have been changed for all dinosaurs(The need for grassland, forest and water)
- Dr Wu DLC genes now can be used in both the RTJP campaign and challenge modes.
THE MOD USES JW REVOLUTION AS A BASE, THIS MEANS THAT THE CHANGES IT DOES TO THE DINOSAURS SUCH AS BLEEDING AND THE MAX GENES ARE PRESENT ON THIS MOD
Installation:
The method to install this files isn´t the same as other mods, this are injectable files wich means you will need to use the mod tools to inject them into their respective ovl.
REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR FILES
Let´s say I want to inject the file that affects the nasutoceratops:
First I will go to where I extracted the cobra-tools, then open the file“ovl_tool_gui”, once it pops up click file->open. Now you navigate to where the Main.ovl file that we want to edit is, steamapps\common\Jurassic World Evolution\Win64\ovldata, on this example I will edit the one that affects the nasutoceratops, I go to
"Content4" there will be an ovl called "Main.ovl" I open it with the tool, this may take a while depending of Main.ovl you are opening, once it loaded you go to
edit->inject, search for the mod file that affects the respective Main.ovl and inject, then save the file.
You can find the mod tool here. https://github.com/OpenNaja/cobra-tools
¿Why just don´t upload the ovl files?
Easy, the injectable method makes thi mod compatible with mods such as Mixed Eras, JW Revolution, JP Era Overhaul or any mod that edits the Main.ovl.
Huge thanks to Mjmanella for letting me use JW revolution as a template for this mod, Kaiodemic fow showing me how to add the Dr Wu genes to the RTJP campaign and challenge modes, 101Jack202 as he discovered how to make dinos stick together and finally to my testers Hellscream and BoarKroc.
