Features:
Shows all animals on both world map and mini-map
Unique colors for each animal family with subtle variations for different ages/genders
Displays animal type and gender when hovering over markers
Works with all vanilla animals

I love this mod. The only drawback was the labels attached to the dots drowning out the map. For those looking to have only the dots show up, go into the workshop folder and find

AnimalMapping.lua
(3409035433\mods\animal\common\media\lua\client)
Open it in Notepad++ or whatever

delete the follwing function to its end
local function getTranslatedAnimalName(animalType)


Then, inside another function
local function drawAnimalOnMap(map, animal, isMinimap)
find and delete these 3 lines
local animalName = getTranslatedAnimalName(animal:getAnimalType() or "Unknown")
local gender = animal:isFemale() and getText("IGUI_Animal_Female") or getText("IGUI_Animal_Male")
local displayText = string.format("%s / %s", animalName, gender)

Hope this helps. I haven't landed any errors with it yet

i really like this mod but it increases the lag potential and decreases the FPS (at least for me) significantly. From 80 FPS to 15 FPS at times or when there we're like 20 animals close it dropped to 4 FPS.

i disabled the mod afterwards and now the game runs fine again.
The insane load is also visible in the debug log where it write like up to 100 Messages in a few seconds.

Doesn't seem to work as of the most recent B42 patches, (at least on existing saves) in case anyone else is wondering!

I really like your mod, but I was wondering if it's possible to have just the yellow dot appear on the mini-map without the text below it. I think it would look awesome that way!
