About

I have a different hitbox problem: tyrannos carcasses. Sometimes I can harvest them no problem, others, it's impossible to find the right spot to carve from. This seems really inconsistent and random. Where's the right spot to carve for meat? (alternatively or additively, butchery support: is it possible? Also funny: would it make sense if their meat was poultry instead of redmeat? :)

You chuck meat on the ground

Im trying to feed the juveniles but can seem to put the raw meat into a trough, what's the intended way to feed them?

The head, neck and tail, is outside of the hitbox from the side, I'll bump up the height of the hitbox to cover the body mostly next release but I can't make it any wider without cause some issue for the AI, for some reason after a certain size, they can't target other entities properly. That being said, aim for center mass if you want to hit it consistently. 

laughinggas I'm not sure its combat overhaul because this doesn't happen with the ceratopsids. I can shoot them with the same weapons and hit them in the tail/body/head without issue.

If you ever add make a Carnotaurus I can tame and or ride, I will absolutely die from excitment.

I will be doing other dino families, but no spoiling what they are yet, they will come in due time

I've not tested them with combat overhaul, I will have to make a patch for it to work properly

Love the mod, but their hitboxes appear to be tiny. I can send arrows through them at the hip and it passes right through, though I am using combat overhaul. Anyone else having this problem?

Just saw the update, yes yes yes yes yes!!

Will you be doing other dino families? I cant wait to see some dromeosaurids

Now this is what I wanted. Hell yeah

Ikaahi

Well the lastest version is closer to that show

Oh my god I am loving this, and I love that you include other tyrannosaurids too!! 

I see others have mentioned suggestions to the model, might I suggest watching Prehistoric Planet? The docuseries uses the latest science in their designs and may provide great reference to help!

I am so excited for the little big chickens you have no idea. Definitely using this in my next world when I do add all the extra animal mods. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to set up my VS home server first otherwise my CPU will choke

I really love the effort you take. It would be lovely to one day turn off normal animal spawns and simply live "earlier" in a world full of horrible mega lizards

Thanks, I do plan to rework this model and retexure them, and yes feathered juvies

Along the lines of RobertS42's suggestion: the theropod dinos didn't drag their tail like sauropods did, so the T-Rex's pose should be more horizontal/see-saw-like. Here's a good reference on how they are now known to stand and walk. Also, their lower legs had a much shallower angle with their femurs when walking, as they could run crazy fast for its size; up to possibly 25mph (40km/h).

Also, you should consider adding feathers to the baby rexes because they had feathers until they were adolescents, and looked like the cutest big chickens imo.

Excited for the other mods, too! The tricerotops looks incredible.

Cant wait for more Dinos!

No worries, I got it, latest version should have their arms facing inwards

Kind of? The palms should be facing each other, because theropods were not able to pronate their wrists (palms facing downwards) without braking them.
Sorry if I sound condenscending 😅

👉👈 Like this? 

Not a complaint, more of a suggested change:
Maybe un-pronate the wrists so that they face inward?

It's not cut off, I didn't write much there in that section

Egg nest description section is cut off.

There's no decibel control unfortuntely, it's the same regardless of distants, I'll tone the roar down 5 or so decibel 

Seems like their roar could use a bit of tweaking. I think its that there's no distance formula for the decibel of their movement and roaring. Cuz I'll be 100 blocks away and hear their roar like they're next to me. The steps are much quieter now tho!

JaxsonBright oh yeah i def don't want it gone completely! I'll make a clip of it real quick and post it. At least on my end its completely overwhelming to the point i want to take off my headphones. Like yeah, it should be present but not overpowering.

crumps I mean, Considering the Largest ever fround T-Rex (Sue) is estimated to have been 18,000 Pounds (9 Tons) and the Upper Estimated Weight range for the species being 33,000 Pounds (16.5 Tons) it's only Appropiate that they make a Bassy Boom when they move?

crumps

I've tweaked sounds for them let me know if it's still too loud

Love the concept of the mod, but could you turn down the bass-y boom to their step? I do think there should be something for being aware of their presence but its very thunderous and overwhelming and it seems no matter the distance you can still hear it. Was messing around with them in creative just now and spawned one and the walking noise was so loud.

Thanks, friendship ended wth winrar, 7zip is my new best friend

laughinggas As a heads up, the Latest update is downloading as an Invalid .zip folder

I dream of a future where we can struggle through the mesozoic foraging through coal forests. Beautiful mod.

Im so glad dinosaurs are finally coming to Vintage Story. This now makes Vintage Story my favorite survival game featuring dinosaurs! Thank you!

Both, you can hatch them or make a dino omlettes 

are the eggs just a food source, or can we raise the kids if we find a way to hatch them ourselves a la Feverstone Wilds' cockatrice?

Ngl... while I do love how goofy the models look as is, they aren't exactly all that scary looking. I mean... their head is gigantic and their legs are TINY in comparison. It's like an overwhelmingly top-heavy bobblehead.

dinosaurs :D

Hydromancerx
Mostly correct
Their range has been theorized to be across western North America, from Canada to New Mexico and Texas

yesssss dinosaurs time! you'd think with all the temporal fuckery in VS there'd be at least some time-displaced fauna out and about, no? can't wait to see your skills in modeling and texturing improve as time goes on; for a first attemp, you've done an incredible job. would be awesome to someday see this expanded into a FotS style series. keep up the great work!

laughinggas

Please add support for the Biome mod. I think it would be in the Pacfic Nearctic and Atlantic Nearctic.
Thanks in advance!

BeetleSong Feed them drifters 💀

They look so funny! I like it

Gasp! Look at all those Chompers! Now if only we could feed them tree stars.

The idea of something like Fauna of the Stone Age but dinosaurs is really neat to think about. This mod looks exceptionally high quality. Thanks for this :D

Thank you. For. Everything.

You are a true saint among humanity i thank you for your perfect mod

Finaly chicken downgrade
