oh, i'll link to your mod in the description.

sounds good. good luck with all those flapping wing animations... ugh.

I went ahead and updated it to 1.6/Odyssey!

I can go ahead and take up this mod if you'd like. I'll release a reskin and the original textured version, though I'll probably make the Macaws/Vultures not active if Odyssey is active, since it added both those species.

I was looking into updating this mod myself, but there's one glaring issue that's stopped me. The game doesn't support flying sprites when an animal has multiple alt textures. It only looks for one set of sprites each for the default M/F textures, so an alt texture would show as default in flight. I'd either have to commission custom C# code to get them in the air, or sacrifice all of the alts (assuming Ludeon doesn't have plans to add support themselves).

Well looking at the animated frames in the art source files, this looks like a task I am not going to undertake anytime soon. Even the body angles are all sort of new. I can see how the artist reused wings once he had that asset, but.... this mod is likely now fossilized in v1.5 support, and remaining there unless someone takes it on.

Okay, that seems like a very reasonable stance. Thanks for managing my expectations and I appreciate your efforts to maintain a cool legacy mod. I feel like the lineage of bird mods like this one gave birth to the base-game birds we're seeing now, so it'd be nice to see them living together.

@icemaverick Once I see the DLC and more bird examples, I'll be porting over the redwing blackbird most likely. But I did the original art for that one so have all the vector graphics I need. The other birds, I dunno... if I come up with a systemic way of doing the art, it won't be too hard, but if not.

Since I know you were just originally porting this over in lieu of the original author, are there any plans to update the birds to utilize the new animal functionalities in 1.6? Are there any plans to even port them as-is to 1.6? Or is this one just passing on into the archives of history?

thanks fer updating <3

> suggestions welcome

I have a few bird mods but this one is absolutely my favourite! Mot a single mod adds African Greys!! My feathered son demands to be launched into the rim (lovingly, no pressure)

Oh. Okay. Thanks!

He meant this bird mods individual parts- just use this one and it's fine. Likely compatible with Birds of the World as it's just adding new creatures through XML.

!!DO NOT USE IF YOU INSTALLED BIRD MODS SEPARATELY, might cause weird stuff!!

So, does that mean it's incompatible with Birds of the World?

thank you!!!! i had found the old version and was hoping this was updated

Just added the RedWing Blackbird art I did for the mod as the ModIcon.

Chirp on.

Uh... birds, for v1.4+ (yeah 1.5 is included).

Finally, people are updating some of my favorite mods, I love you all <3

OH MY GOD. Thank you so much. I'm going to cry I love budgies so much. Gonna try this tonight

BIRDS!!!

tksssssssssssss

There ya go, some birds... male/female redwings, peregrine, raven, budgies.

Sure, I'll post something in a bit. The art is very much designed to be absolutely vanilla friendly, fyi.

And safe to add/remove mod, anyway.

great work! Any chance of in game pictures? Afraid of them not being vanilla friendly, like most of birds mods. Tks anyway

Slight tweak to Peregrine attack style.

thanks for the update :D

the birb collection

thanks

sweet, i was waiting for that one!
