The Dinosaur List tutorial

JPOG: The Forgotten comes with 14 new dinosaur species in the base mod, with 12 more exercise-exclusive species which are unavailable if you play the game normally. Among this list are dinosaurs such as Indominus rex, which many players might be interested to build a park with. Unfortunately, the game only supports a maximum of 40 dinosaur species with functional AI at a time.

This tutorial will allow you to select your own species from the mod to build your parks with. To see every species available in the mod, check out the bestiary.

To modify the dinosaurs you can get in the game, there are two files which should be edited. These are the "Dinolist.ini" and "Fslhunt.ini". These are present in the 'Data' folder; if you don't know what that is, then it's a miracle you installed the mod successfully.

Copy and paste "Dinolist.ini" and "Fslhunt.ini" to the desktop for editing.

Begin by opening up "Dinolist.ini" in a text editing program such as Notepad. Let's say I want to add Tuojiangosaurus to my game. I'll refer to the list above for its codename which turns out to be "Tuoj".

DinoList = {
    allo,
    yangchu,
    spino,
    bary,
    trex,
    galli,
    ornit,
    raptor,
    dein,
    cerato,
    dilopho,
    acro,
    alberto,
    alio,
    steg,
    wuer,
    anky,
    para,
    tricera,
    brach,
    apato,
    diplo,
    homalo,
    edmont,
    maias,
    cory,
    pachy,
    styrac,
    toro,
    chasmo,
    dryo,
    thes,
    kentro,
    panop,
    ourano,
    iguan,
    tenon,
    carcha,
    camara
};

I will insert "Tuoj" into the file as such. 

    dryo,
    thes,
    kentro,
    tuoj,
    panop,
    ourano,

Ensure that there are a maximum of 40 dinosaur species in the file; any more and the game will crash. Now save the file.

Moving on to "Fslhunt.ini", the Tuojiangosaurus should be located in the Tendaguru Beds. Open up the "Fslhunt.ini" and scroll to the appropriate dig site.

// TENDEGARU BEDS ---------------------------------------------------------------

HuntingGround[TendaguruBeds]
{
	title		= $FossilHunt_TendaguruBeds_Title;
	period		= Jurassic;
	location	= Africa;
	matlib		= "dinos_tendaguru";

	reqdinos	= { brach, allo, kentro, panop, yangchu };
	linkedtoset = 1;	// Linked to an unlocking set

	cost		= 0;
	gold		= 8;

//	position	= {124, 128};
	position	= {296, 162};
	texture		= "FslHunt_fossil2";

	DigSite[river1]
	{
		type			= plains;
		texture			= "FslHunt_DigSite_1";
		position		= {168, 53};
		title			= $FossilHunt_DigSite_River;
		teams			= 2;
		digtime			= 1.0;
	}
	DigSite[river2]
	{
		type			= plains;
		texture			= "FslHunt_DigSite_2";
		position		= {213, 149};
		title			= $FossilHunt_DigSite_River;
		teams			= 3;
		digtime			= 1.0;
	}
	DigSite[plains]
	{
		type			= mountain;
		texture			= "FslHunt_DigSite_3";
		position		= {67, 211};
		title			= $FossilHunt_DigSite_Plains;
		teams			= 4;
		digtime			= 1.0;
	}
}

What you need to do is insert "Tuoj" into this line:

	reqdinos	= { brach, allo, kentro, panop, yangchu };

It should end up looking like this:

	reqdinos	= { brach, allo, kentro, panop, yangchu, tuoj };

Save the file and paste the two files back into the 'Data' folder. If you've done everything correctly, the game should start up without crashing and once you start a new game, you will see your new dinosaur.
