As long as you've subscribed and loaded the mod it works automatically.

Have you read the detailed description of the Ambient System that's linked in the description?
It shows how animals are spawned around the player.

I tried to balance the amount of animals to make it feel realistic, if you want a zoo feel free to alter the settings in the config file.

The mod works as intended, but remember jungle maps are dense with foliage so some of the animals just might not be seen, especially hens/cocks.

Is there something you need to do to activate this mod? Ive tried a few missions and zeused around to have a look and I dont see any animals anywhere. Is there a setting or module that needs to be manipulated?

Unsung Dak Pek and RHS PKL ....... perfect for the waterbuffalos.

@EO .. all Jungle related would be good..

@pbinsatll

No, this version will only work on Cam Lao Nam.
Is there a particular map you have in mind?
pbinstall 23 May, 2021 @ 12:03am

When I spawned the Water Buffalo through the 3DEN Editor, it seemed to be sinking almost entirely on the ground.
I even elevated it on the editor to not be "sinking on the ground", but when the mission started it fell and sunk almost entirely once again. Did anyone experience something similar?

@EO

Thank you for your fast response. Server is in use atm. Will try later and give feedback!

Small Update:

Mod pbo's have been re-signed.
New server key added.

EO  [author] 19 May, 2021 @ 11:12am 
@RAP

Thanks for the report, I'll maybe try and resign the mod if there's problems with the keys.
RAP 19 May, 2021 @ 10:47am 
Hi and thank you for this exquisit mod. I installed it on a server but keep getting an error that my local file "ambientanimals_camlaonam.pbo" is not accepted by a key on the server when connecting. bikey-files are copied to the "Keys" folder on the server. Any ideas?
Fingolfin_A3 18 May, 2021 @ 8:20am 
Very nice, thank you! :) If you expand the compatibile maps, please do not forget RHSPKL. Those water buffalo would look great there.

ehhh you're the TPW of animals! ;P lol I remember.
EO  [author] 18 May, 2021 @ 1:00am 
@Mikey74,

TPW has an animals script that will spawn a crow/crows around nearby dead bodies. :-)
Mikey74 17 May, 2021 @ 9:44pm 
Seen a bird circling. This got me thinking. It wouldn't be to impossible to do maybe buzzards. :D May be a pain though. That would most likely require a tad bit heavy scripting to balance them with game performance. Just a thought. Would be cool to see them circle a dead body.
minhduc-dev 17 May, 2021 @ 12:26pm 
good , maybe I'll run far away from where these pigs are to avoid being gored and injuring me. :steamhappy:
EO  [author] 16 May, 2021 @ 12:27pm 
If you want have areas of the map animal free here's a area trigger example you can use.

It deactivates ambient animals when the player enters trigger area.
It re-activates ambient animals when player leaves trigger area.

Thumbs up!!!
EO  [author] 16 May, 2021 @ 8:31am 
@SSG Anhor

Yes, I plan to add support for a few Unsung maps, maybe in a few days time. ;-)
SSG Anhor 16 May, 2021 @ 8:23am 
Maybe for use in Unsung too? Besides DLC?
Iron Maiden 16 May, 2021 @ 4:46am 
yes nice water buffalo
Tonic 16 May, 2021 @ 3:51am 
@EO

Now I had a short patrol session and saw the water buffalo first time.
Its so awesome.

I would say for now that everything works as expected.

@EO love the watter buffolo buddy

rookie mistake your mod was queued for update so had to reboot the launcher /=
EO  [author] 15 May, 2021 @ 12:13pm 
@Cj

I don't use Zeus, but I just ran a quick test on Cam Lao Nam with Zeus and all the animals from this mod spawn around the player as expected.
As far as TPW compatibility, that's up too tpw whether he adds support to his mod.
Nullified 15 May, 2021 @ 11:59am 
@EO thanks for replying!

I assumed that's how it would work, i've been testing on cam lao nam, entering zues i don't see any water buffolo only sheep and baor ? is this mod TPW compatible ?
EO  [author] 15 May, 2021 @ 11:36am 
@Cj

That's not how it works, this mod is primarily for spawning animals on the Cam Lao Nam terrain.
You only need to subscribe, then simply play on the Cam Lao Nam terrain and all the animals will spawn around the player.

Yes, there are boars available in the Editor, but these are just for....well boars.
Nullified 15 May, 2021 @ 11:24am 
how do i get this to work in the editor? i put your module down and only see a boar running then once in the game i don't see no buffolo
EO  [author] 15 May, 2021 @ 8:54am 
UPDATE: Added Water Buffalo to the Ambient System.
Tonic 15 May, 2021 @ 8:51am 
Water Buffalo is awesome!
Defalt24 15 May, 2021 @ 8:07am 
Elephants would be also pretty cool :)
JRToken 14 May, 2021 @ 6:39pm

EO  [author] 14 May, 2021 @ 2:57pm

What was rude?

@EO
Thanks for answering my question! Thanks for your work and time!
Mikey74 14 May, 2021 @ 4:25am 
cows? :D

@TehFOcus

I'm not sure it's rude to delete a comment that makes no sense, what was your point?
TehF0cus 13 May, 2021 @ 11:18am 
Eyy that was rude
EO  [author] 13 May, 2021 @ 8:15am 
@Creeper,

Yes, your correct, for MP, animals are only local to each player. (unsynced)
Whereas animals hand placed by a mission maker, everybody sees the same animals. (synced)
