New Model for Helicoprion

The helicoprion has a new model, animations, and skin textures.

Update

The distance at which a creature must fall before it takes fall damage has been increased so it doesn't happen as often.

The amount of health that must be lost from a single fall in order to break bones has been increased to make it harder to break bones.

You no longer cancel auto-eat or auto-drink mode by typing an "e" character into chat.

Terrestrial and aerial creatures now lose stamina while swimming.

If a terrestrial or aerial creature runs out of stamina while swimming they will instead lose breath.

Aquatic creatures that are on land no longer have 50% stamina regeneration, they instead have none and need to be in the water in order to regenerate stamina.

Amphibious creatures can regenerate stamina while swimming or on land.

Terrestrial and aerial creatures can only regenerate stamina while on land.

Amphibious and aquatic creatures no longer regenerate stamina twice as quickly while in the water.

Terrestrial and aerial creatures should now be sinking in the water instead of floating above the water's surface. (still needs some manual adjustments per species in the future)

Flying acceleration is now slower.

You are once again able to gain altitude from flapping your wings while flying.

Flying-Burst is now working again. While flying, hold the shift key and then press the spacebar to burst forward, as long as you have enough stamina.

Flying-Uplift is now working again. While flying, and holding the precise movement key to hover in place, press the spacebar to fly upwards in a quick burst, as long as you have enough stamina.

New Tyrannosaurus Model

The Tyrannosaurus Rex has a new model, skins, and animations.

The previous Tyrannosaurus Rex model is now being used for the new species gorgosaurus.

Small Update

A creature's eating sound volume has been reduced by 50% while underwater.

Water is now foggier further away.

Creatures are now spawning in much greater densities in the wild now, in multiplayer games.

Thalassodromeus can now sit to recover health and stamina quicker. Its not a traditional sit animation, instead it uses its "Preening" animation while sitting. (Until a proper sitting animation can be made)

All creatures can now swim underwater now. Just be careful you don't run out of breath if you aren't a strong swimmer.

Fixed a glitch where dropping a piece of food on top of a rock would make the food fall through the rock.

Bones and Skeletons in The Great Sands

Added some bones and skeletons to The Great Sands map.

Added some more rocks to The Great Sands map.

Added some new proto-bird and insect ambience sounds to the Ancient Jungle map.

Insects should no longer wander too far away from nests.
