Title: Turtles
Post by: Necrolex on September 21, 2025, 09:54:14 AM
Hi.

Are there any forgotten mods out there that have turtles?
If not, does anyone have a turtle model?

I'd like a mod that uses turtles as a food source and their shells as a building material or for other needs.

There are no turtles anywhere that I know of.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply and for looking into this for me.

I wanted to take the concept of the "Kid Swamp Legend" mod and turn it into something similar, but with turtles.
But I thought it was better to see if something like it already existed.
The problem now is getting a turtle model.

surely you can find that on the web (unless if you are looking for an animated ^^)

No animation, because I know how hard you guys tried.
Could the animations have been made in another program that we aren't so familiar with?
Maybe the models and their animations could have been created in some unknown program with an outdated system that new programs don't use, and that's why the game doesn't recognize the animations made by these new ones.

in the CC main mods there is a scavenger that you place on water. the worker can gather frogs or turtles. it is similar to what CC uses for their clay and sand diggers.  very,very low output so is not used very often.

issue with turtles would be their size. would b difficult to see them with the zoomed out map.

I do not have a list of what all the water scavenger that comes with the dock addon mod collects. was a mix of several things so the total output was higher.

not sure how much info this weill have-

Thanks for the reply.

The problem with these huge Mods is that if I'm looking for a small stone, I have to download the whole planet.
It's not ideal for me, and especially not for my weak computer.

Thank you very much!

I'm looking at some particle code here to create a fake lighting effect based on an original fog code. The results are actually pretty cool.
I'm very slow at understanding how to mod, but I'm trying.

Hi!

In the Windows 3D Viewer it looks good, but the turtle is flipped as if it were hanging by its tail. That's fine though, because I can just edit that in Blender, but I don't know if this time away made me forget how to import an FBX object, which just shows up as a gray cube in Blender

it is not a fbx object , it is a .obj file

I just checked. I completely forgot what type of file it is and was stuck on the idea that it was an fbx. My bad.
I opened it in Blender and the turtle was "hanging by its tail", but I already rotated it to stand correctly. I still need to learn more about how to use Blender, as I struggle with 3D. For most of my life I've only worked with graphic art in Photoshop to create textures, illustrations, and other things.

Thank you!
I have a few ideas for different themes, and with each idea where I can see a way to move it forward, I take a step. I have no idea when I'll be able to release something, but I won't rush it, because sometimes I get stressed with something that I can't make work in the game and I take a break to play without thinking about the mods.

same , been 12 years and i cant even add an item , like a statue.

i tried to add the turtle as a livestock and i saw it does the same thing as an anim from warcraft, a mess , a totally wrong way to show the mesh so i wanted to make a statue of it, a simple thing, to see if it does the same thing... if it draws it completly wrong.

and i think i got it right(for the statue) but i cant test it cause after an hour, i never suceeded to get the icon so my citizens build it lol

i am so rusted that i cannot get anything working, not even an icon on a toolbar.


if i want it tested... i would need to ask @kid1293 to check the code cause .... i know nothing anymore, i forgot 100% everything and it is super sad lol

i never understood why when i add an anim, the game draws it completly wrong. it did it with warcraft anim, and i saw today, even the turtle i gave you, it does the same thing (graphics wrong) and it is sad cause warcraft,in game, has ALL the animals possible made and with full anims (walk, many idles, and more) i could get a strong source for all the animals i wish to add in Pharaoh
