A.D.O Vanilla Creatures Remap Final Update
Ideas/Propositions
Hello Mitko,

So as I mentioned before I too wanted to create a mod similar to this but my computer just couldn't handle it. For my research I have found diagrams relating the real sizes of these dinosaurs to your average height human. i am just going to go down the list with my notes as to what I had planned.
For the balancing of stats I will leave that up to you since you have already adjusted some things
For the adjustment of size I will either include a diagram or a percentage. On the diagram we will use the upper size estimate every time. I just used the human model in the dev kit as an "average human".
For the adjustment of speed I am using the following mathematical theory.
-The average human walking speed is 3.1 mph or about 5 kph. In game the base walking speed for humans is at 492.8. Since 5 is easier to work with we will stick to kph. So 492.8 divided by 5 gets us 98.56 rounding up to 99. 99 in game speed walking speed is the equivalent to 1 kph of real life walking speed.
For the most part I will not adjust walking speeds.
-The average human running speed is 20 kph. So we do 892 divided by 20 which gets us 44.6 rounded up to 45. So 45 in game running speed is equal to 20 kph real life running speed.



Achatina (too big in game)
Size - Shrink 25%


Allosaur (too big in game)
Size - http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/a/allosaurus-size.jpg
The maximum speed of an allo is 30-56 kph with a median of 43kph.
So running speed would be 43*45 = 1,935 base sprinting speed.

Your post is interesting, but some thinks i can't do from it. Renaming is easy, but speed adjustments of some creature will be very unrealistic with that stats wich you give here. i will give you a example from my other mod - Dodorex walk speed is 1100 and is fastest than you when carry tek costume and fly with super speed. The other issue is that animations will not answeer of this speeds....Understand that we haven't a running speed stats, we have only walk speed...
HushedDispatch 7 Jan, 2018 @ 1:12am 
Oh I see, I didn't know we were limitted to adjusting only walking speed. I understand now.
†RoroBlacK† 24 Jan, 2018 @ 2:32pm 
nice idea
†RoroBlacK† 24 Jan, 2018 @ 2:33pm 
but brontosaurus is equal to apatosaurus, size is like vanilla bronto with comand changesize .6 or .7
jcorb77 2 Feb, 2018 @ 1:19pm 
Yeah there was no such thing as a Bronto. It was an Apatosaurus. Brachiosaurus had a ridge on his head. and front legs where larger than back

Here is the size comparison:

jcorb77 2 Feb, 2018 @ 1:29pm 
Also Pteranodons really weren't big enough to carry a rider. If you made them smaller they really should be made unridable.
WinterWisteria 25 Feb, 2018 @ 11:48pm 
Would it be possible to give the Scorpions two attacks?
One for the claws and then a torpor dealing one for it's tail attack?
That way one could choose between damage or torp.
Max 28 Feb, 2018 @ 8:03am 
All I have to say is keep this as plain as possible, as in, just changing size's to appropriate levels and or other similar mellow tweaks.

It'd be great to finally have a down to earth dino mod without any whacky colors, abilities, powers, speeds, etc...

Cheers!
mitko_p81  [developer] 28 Feb, 2018 @ 11:00am 
@WinterWendigo i will see what i can do for your request. Abouth Ptero resizing i don't think to resize them, because of the ride abillities, Bronto if i remember well now is called Apatosaurus at my mod?
WinterWisteria 28 Feb, 2018 @ 11:34am 
Thank you kindly for giving it a shot ^^
WinterWisteria 28 Feb, 2018 @ 11:35am 
OH! My girlfriend and I were playing with your mod and we noticed the Dilos are floating above the ground, that may be something to look at if you haven't already? ^^
mitko_p81  [developer] 7 Mar, 2018 @ 9:57am 
The floathing dilo's bug is fixed. Did you find some other bugs?
WinterWisteria 7 Mar, 2018 @ 5:59pm 
That was all I noticed at the time but I'll let you know if we do :)
Thank you!
aquistorm 20 Mar, 2022 @ 6:22am 
If you are aiming for semi realistic dinos. I would say find a way to remove the frill and venom spit from the dilo and make the raptors, Utahraptor, velociraptor have feathers like deinonychus, microraptor and troodon does.
