Welcome to GTA5-Mods.com

@jan3k thanks! German shepherds are coming next! :)

@Starfox1993 I wasn't going to bother with the newer breeds but that might actually work as a pug replacer haha

@phucduongdaonhan thank you 🙏🏻

@HydroSky Oh I'm brand new to GTA modding haha. This was my first upload. Some of what I know comes from Skyrim modding, as far as texturing. and thanks! It's taking me a couple weeks to get some of these out, between the creation, testing, correcting, and just generally finding the time.
And I do like your ideas! Another caveat to GTA animals is anything new may have to fit within the parameters of a vanilla animal. Like sperm whales and whale sharks may have to just use the humpback skeleton because nothing else really fits their behaviors and speed. This would make the whale shark have a sideways tail but the ambient behavior would be close enough.
Another example of this is that the few bear mods I've were actually using the cow skeleton haha

@phucduongdaonhan I think I see where I went wrong. The next version just has the .ytd as a folder with the .dds files for manual replacement. Just awaiting approval! I'm also downloading Legacy so I can streamline this for future uploads.

@phucduongdaonhan thank you, I'll take another look and throw in the raw dds files

@HydroSky it's hard to explain but from what I can see, there's no easy way to just add new NPCs to the world. Addonpeds might the most likely route here but I'm not sure how it works for wildlife or marine wildlife. For now I'm working on remastering a good chunk of the land animals, giving them new coats, etc. if I do learn this addonped stuff, I'd love to work on wolves, foxes, and bears.

@HydroSky definitely potential! Even rigging is over for my head honestly. I've had ChatGPT talk me through basic Blender use, maybe that could help you? Adding new wildlife without replacing is another layer of difficulty that I haven't gotten into yet.

@HydroSky While I'd love to have all that in the game, anything beyond texture painting and basic remeshing is way over my skill level. Sorry! I'm also not planning to do much more for the ocean beyond whales and sharks.

@CRASH213 @phucduongdaonhan @MissySnowie Thank you all kindly for the ratings! My legacy version should be getting approved in the next day or so. Unfortunately I can't test it, so please let me know how it goes! I'll do my best to fix any possible issues ASAP!
