Thanks for the mod! Do these work with the Animal Husbandry/Butcher mod? Or can they be used to impregnate female animals? I'd like to use the butcher mod, but I don't want to kill my egg/milk makers, so using the male versions for meat would help with that (plus be more realistic).
I think im missing a step .. ive downloaded and dropped the animal variety and both bull mods into my mod folder and im not getting an option to purchase bulls or roosters
edit: https://log.smapi.io/p1brBL8x bulls are not loading for some reason... no idea whats going on with the roosters.
I added clearer instructions for using BFAV with these mods. The instructions can be found here: https://github.com/paritee/Better-Farm-Animal-Variety/blob/master/README.md#add-new-farm-animal
Here's what you need to do:
Add "White Bull" and "Brown Bull" to Cows.Types in the BFAV config.json. I'm assuming you'd want to buy them alongside the vanilla cows, so your "Cows" part of the config.json should look like this:
Edit: Also, regarding the roosters - unless you're talking about a different/your own mod, I haven't uploaded any rooster mods... yet. The BFAV mod comes completely vanilla and doesn't include any special farm animals.
Edit: i took out ALL my other animal mods (animal chooser, white ducks, emmies squirrels, and ostrich replacement and while the shop description doesn't SAY there are roosters and bulls I am able to purchase them.
If i had to guess I would say its animal chooser that was messing things up since it directly effects how animals are purchased from the shop. Not sure if there's anything on your end that you can do to make them compatible, I have left a message on the animal chooser mod making them aware that its not working with these mods.
For everyone else here is the code for the config for bulls/roosters: "Chickens": { "Name": "default", "Description": "default", "ShopIcon": "default", "Types": [ "White Chicken", "Brown Chicken", "Blue Chicken", "Void Chicken", "White Rooster", "Brown Rooster", "Blue Rooster", "Void Rooster" ] }, "Cows": { "Name": "default", "Description": "default", "ShopIcon": "default", "Types": [ "White Cow", "Brown Cow", "White Bull", "Brown Bull" ]
Good news and bad news! Good news is that its very evident why AnimalChooser doesn't work with this mod. That modder has chosen to hard-code the vanilla farm animals into the mod itself and not read from the data. Bad news is that for them, this would mean a large rewrite of their mod.
Since that mod is pretty popular, I'll look into forking https://github.com/Pathoschild/AnimalChooser/tree/update-code to read the data instead. Should be seamless for those that don't use BFAV and also allow for BFAV modded farm animals to show up.

Let me know if that doesn't solve your issue! :)
