== Animal Flavor Text ==

Do you have tens of brown feathered turkeys and chickens roaming your fortress, each indistinguishable from the rest? Do your pets blend into the hundreds of other creatures present in the wilds? Are all of your animals uniform in color?

The idea of this mod is to give all creatures in the game personally identifiable features, be it eye color, hair length, or color changes from head to tail. Where applicable, new body parts, sounds, attacks, and interactions are added to give creatures greater variety.

For example

Each creature will be given bodily features that exist for them in real life. Cows have chambered stomachs. Pigs, goats, and sheep have cloven hooves. Birds have caruncles and beak nails. Llamas, alpacas, and camels have two bony toes.

In addition, the mod is split up into three separate modules. Each module adds onto the next, so the full module requires the ones proceeding. They are, in order:

Full - Contains all functional and aesthetic creature modifications: colors, sounds, body parts, tissues, attacks, wool, interactions
Balanced - Contains all aesthetic modifications including new parts: colors, sounds, body parts, tissues, interactions
Aesthetic - Contains all non-body modifying changes: colors, sounds, interactions (it's a bit boring though)

Each module has to be installed in order from bottom to top. Or you can just download the full diff file
Currently, this mod only changes creatures in the creatures_domestic file. More creatures will be changed in later iterations.

Installation
1. Download the mod from the link in your operating systems respective spoiler section
2. Extract the archive into your main game folder - you will have two folders: archives and patches
FOR WINDOWS:

FOR LINUX/MAC:

Run the command below, replacing [patch name] with the name of the diff file you want to apply. This command also makes a backup of your original files, so you can revert if the patch causes any damage.

Code: [Select]

$ patch --backup -p0 < [patch name]

Nice project! Feel free to borrow animal things from the OldGenesis mod (by Deon and myself).
Or you can edit the soundmessages and animal colors of OldGenesis, and I'll incorporate them in OG, if you'd like.
