📋 About This Mod
This mod took a tremendous amount of tech and man power to capture with the original inspiration. To test, make icons for, art, banners, and pack.
Thank you Jan for helping me on the path to release this mod.
Let's take a journey together and look at some of the rarest tigers to have shared the world with us.
Make a backup of Bengal_Tiger_Female, Male, and Juvenile.
Go through the folders you unzip from this download and pick the color you want to try first. Paste Bengal_Tiger_Female/Male/Juvenile over the one in the above directory and overwrite. That's it!
For icons, it's exactly the same. Just take the contents of what is inside the "Icons" folder accompanying every tiger color combo and overwrite the same file at this directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Planet Zoo\win64\ovldata\Content0\UI\Textures\AnimalThumbnails
The AnimalThumbnails.ovl should overwrite the original (make a backup) AnimalThumbnails.ovl
