PERMANENTLY BROKEN -- Sheep! (Interactive & Animated)

Description
The devs have fundamentally changed how bot AI works. In order to make new animals work, you need to know C#. I don't have the time to learn yet another thing from scratch, so sadly my animated animals are dead.

If anyone wants my Blender files I used for these, let me know and I will gladly share.

Live, working sheep that spawn into your world and give wool
***************************************
Hi all! Following on from my Cows mod, I have added another Medieval staple: Sheep.

Sheep are programmed just to roam around peacefully. They will let you get fairly close to them, but if you get too close, they will run away just a bit.

Like Deer and Cows, if you want you can hunt sheep for meat and hide. But, if you craft Sheep Shears at a forge or smithy, you can use the shears to get wool from the sheep. Wool can be used to create bandages, rope, or cloth, and generally gives you a better return than flax/linen.

To shear a sheep, simply equip your Sheep Shears, then get close to a sheep and click the left mouse button. You will see the sheep change to a "sheared" version, and wool will be added to your inventory (between 1 and 4 balls of wool). (Thanks to Equinox for that great new script!)

After 2 minutes, a sheared sheep will return to normal, and can be sheared again.

It is hard to get close enough to a wild sheep to shear it. But it is easy to create a 3-sided fenced pen, and then herd the sheep into that pen. With just a little practice, you will be herding sheep all across the landscape!

These sheep are compatible with the Cows mod, you can have both at the same time.

Happy Herding!

KNOWN ISSUES:
Again, the game's vanilla AI is not very developed. Sheep can do silly things. They jitter when they walk, they don't react to being injured, and they sometimes might bark like a deer. All animals also despawn at some point. So you probably can't keep a permanent herd, especially if you travel far from home. Hopefully the AI will improve so my animals can behave more normally going forward!

SHEEP! Big soft fluffy non-violent lambs for the slaughter! Oh, to see the flocks on a thousand hills... Mutton and wool, lanolin and companionship... We need our sheeps! And maybe an NPC Shepherd or two to herd the sheeps into the Sheepfold.

I know you have moved on to other games, but would you please consider coming back to ME 0.7.4 and reprising your mods? Even if you don't want to make any new ones, just making what you've already contributed current would be hugely appreciated.

Although I do know how to program in C#, my skills are rather limited to business and web applications...
Too bad this won't see an update soon, not having to spend huge amounts of flax on strings was really helpful.

Here's what he said:

If anyone knows C# and liked this mod, they can simply ask him for the Blender files and then they get to coding. Then when they're finished, something happens. Do they release it on the workshop, or give STORI3D the files of the new version?
Well, I hope everyone has fun!

Are you going to update this mod for the 0.7 update?

If you have both cows & sheep mods loaded, you have about a 1 in 3 chance of getting any one of the 3: sheep, deer, or cows. The game randomizes what comes out, and sometimes doesn’t do it that well.

Does sheep or cows effect deer generation? I don't seem to be seeing any deer whatsoever now.
