Considering that the model has not been changed, you can just replace the new textures with the old ones if you want.
Noice, thanks ASDF!

I just took the Minecraft Noob test! Check out what I scored. Think you can beat me?!
To take the test, check out https://minecraftnoobtest.com/test.php
Sorry I've been so bad at updating yall when new info comes out. I encourage you all to follow us on Twitter or Instagram or join our Discord if you want to be on top of the most up-to-date information. Anyway, we released pictures of new terror bird textures for the 1.12.2 port! Gastornis and Phorusrhacos got complete redos in order to be more unique and original (AKA, not taken from WWB). Kelenken and Titanis also got slight updates with better patterning.
Gastornis
Phorusrhacos
Kelenken
Titanis
The skin updates look amazing, can't wait to work with them in 1.12
I wonder what other skin changes might appear? It would be nice to see more color variance for a lot of the animals. Too many of them are green, even when you have feathers enabled. Logically the dinosaurs should have a variety of colors due to specific adaptations. the triceratops maintains this somewhat but on the matter of pterosaurs especially and perhaps the Spinosaurus, shouldn't there be a pretty stark difference between male and female color-wise? That isn't always consistent even in modern birds (Bald eagles look indistinguishable almost despite the gender for example, but a male chicken VS a female chicken are obviously different regardless of the fact we bred them for meat consumption), sure, but for animals with obvious display devices it would be logical for there to be more vibrant coloration.

EDIT: Hmm, so if I read this article right, the more apparent the dimorphism the less likely the male is to be a active part of the child-rearing process? Interesting. That is an interesting thing to note as that was captured in The Lost World: Jurassic Park rather interestingly enough with how the male tyrannosaurus was a deep green color with a thicker neck (akin to like a rooster's neck waddle) while the female had the same basic coloration of the original rex from the first film. Despite that the two look near identical. Heck I often have had trouble telling them apart on-screen due to all the night shots used.
In a slightly different topic, while most of the dinosaurs based on what you shared appear to be just fine in their design, I think maybe the Spinosaurus would be a good fit for the polygamous category. Of course very little Is known of it's lifestyle still, but due to how rare the fossils have been to find it might be safe to assume unlike other carnivores (even big carnivores) that they lived solitary lives (which could account for the fossils' rarity, not to mention the spino was a fish eater) so it could be that after mating the male went off on its way and the female cared for the eggs and hatchlings all on her own. So maybe the male Spinosaurus could be a more vibrant individual compared to the female.
However that might be too much to ask at this stage, as I don't know the progress of the mod as it is at the moment aside the Mega Mobs and the new terror bird designs.
Hey guys, been a long time, literal years. Good to see a few familiar faces.
Anywho, no amount of searching has helped, so I gotta ask here: Do wild dinosaurs breed? I'm making a sort of "lost world" map and have made sure to spawn male and female of each kind of dinosaur, with suitable biome and surroundings. However, nothing has bred yet. Notes: Using offical modpack, dinosaurs are not too hungry.

Apparently the 1.12.2 source on github vanished magically a while ago. Since im one of the many that can't join the discord I would occasionally compile the source to see whats new so this is very disappointing.
Some of us can't/won't join the discord and since news outside is pretty limited or outright needlessly late most of the time when it does get revealed outside to my understanding, compiling and looking at the source was one of the ways to check progress.
Anyone know why it's gone with no explaination?

A couple people compiled the code and tried distributing builds to random people, thus ruining it for everyone.
We don’t want people compiling unfinished builds from GitHub. We don’t want you compiling them, and we CERTAINLY don’t want anyone else compiling them and distributing them around like some sort of secret deal (which multiple people have been caught doing). Not touching the GitHub has always been a rule of ours. We have MANY sources where we talk about progress other than discord: these forums, the wiki, the twitter, the instagram. Use one of them instead of compiling our code without our permission. We specifically took down the GitHub because of this behavior.

a slight shame of no word coming yet, a friend of mine and I have plans to do a Minecraft series for youtube (hes even making our own soundtrack) where we try to assemble a dinosaur park. We might have trouble setting it all up as some key mods we like to use haven't made it past 1.10 or 1.7 but we might be able to make due all the same in the end.

I already mentioned some of those sources in my last post: You guys favor the discord to such a large extent that news outside is either late or completely forgotten in some cases.
I never once distributed a compiled build and very rarely compiled them in the first place except when I wanted to check new features ingame and cross mod interations that were added, the problem is im extremely lazy and compiling is work. I mainly checked the source from time to time to see what was changed or added and followed commits.
Both of which are impossible now. Seriously, you plug the discord almost as much as mod news( even the most recent twitter post had a discord plug in it.. ) when some people simply can't or won't join.. you need a more reliable and quicker way to update mods news outside of discord since it's lacking to a high degree and discord is pretty much behind a wall for some( this news issue is a problem ive explained to a few mod creators when everyone started swapping to discord for news.. yet I was ignored for the reason "It's easy so it'll work out" ).
Also your post came off as a bit too hostile in my personal opinion. Ive never once seen anywhere that you don't want others compiling a open source mod so I didn't know, yet you stress it no less then 3 times( yes you posted on twitter about it recently but that was waaaay after the fact since ive been checking the code and compiling sincd 1.10.2 versions ).
It's the internet. It will happen one way or another. Simple as that.
Your mods one of very few that actually went closed source simply because of a few idiots that im aware of

Our discord is the place we're more comfortable with interacting with our community, so of course there will be nuggets that slip out here and there. You seem hell bent on not using discord and that's your prerogative but don't demand for us to change something that is very simple and comfortable just because of your whims.
The GitHub was open source yes, until that fact was abused. We cannot stress enough how much we don't want people outside of dev/people we trust getting their hands on our unreleased builds. It doesn't matter what you use them for or what your intentions are. There is a reason that beta versions are restrictive- because if you mess up your PC while trying to play with a pirated version of our mod we're still responsible. We have many young fans and that could lead to disaster.

There are people that can't access our Twitter polls or Instagram QnA's. Just because you can't access the Discord chats doesn't mean we're neglecting you, so please stop acting like you're entitled to different social media privileges. Each social media platform is handled appropriately and as necessary based on the community characteristics and the demands of the platform. Each platform comes with benefits and drawbacks. And because of the different uses of each platform, we advertise them occasionally so people who might like to take advantage of those other platforms can. Every Tweet and Instagram post is immediately linked on our Discord, meaning they are constantly advertised there; they get 5000% more "plugs" than that one post about Discord. And, each platform DOES get the same news, all within 24 hours of each other depending on time constraints and Internet access. We're not neglecting the other platforms, we're just using them properly - and fans who can't use one platform or the other make do with what they have.
As for the compiling of our code, every compiler who did the same thing you did that we knew of had the courtesy to ask first, and we explained our position that we do not want people to do that. The fact that you felt the need to help yourself to someone's work, compiling it without even bothering to ask, is INCREDIBLY aggravating, and combined with the idiots who compiled it and are using every avenue they know to scam our fans, distribute our hard work, and mess with our download numbers, yeah, I got hostile. But I'm not ashamed of that, because this is something we've been working on for a long time and people can't be bothered to be polite or patient about it - hence why we closed the GitHub. If people abuse privileges like being able to see the code and progress there, the privileges get taken away. It doesn't matter what other mods do - it's about what we feel is the best choice to protect ourselves, our work, and our fans. And we aren't changing our minds.

I think you might enjoy this article, which discusses sexual dimorphism in paleoart. It's a pretty interesting read!

Thanks, I just found a baby. Now that I've also fixed the over spawning caveman problem, I should be able to move on with the map. Thank you!

I don't know if this has been shared here yet, but you can get the upcoming Dodo, Quagga and Terror Bird textures as a resource pack for 7.3 from the wiki: https://fossils-archeology.wikia.com/wiki/Resource_Packs
I was trying to fit Heimskr's speech into this place, but it wouldn't fit.
