SS2 Vurt's Flora Overhaul

[674f5467efeeevoodoo47]

new version attached to the first post - updating is highly recommended. dimensions and offsets have been fixed, and the hanging plant now has a bunch of chains so it is not hanging in mid air anymore (say hello to Olfred). all transparency issues should be fixed as well (the fix pack is not needed anymore).

while the 1.0c version should be superior to 1.0b in every way, it has received a bit less testing than comfortable, so leaving the old downloads online for now.

report all issues with 1.0c in this topic (note that some dmls have been added, so old medsci saves will not work properly).

The hover plant was the most surreal element in SS2.

well, you can't please everybody.

[...] and the hanging plant now has a bunch of chains so it is not hanging in mid air anymore (say hello to Olfred).

Well, it came from the files vurt gave me. Either he planned to update it himself or it was causing some errors, we will see.
So no credit to me for the chains, just for fixing stuff up.

we will need a chainless version of the hanging plant as well though, rec2 will need this at some places.

Chains? Pfft, they're anti-gravity pots, held aloft by the power of science.

Do we still need the fix?

As ZB says, reading is fun. I should do it more often. I was however confused with the OP, because the fix is indeed still there. Even if the updated files are uploaded.

[674f5467f0f09voodoo47]

I'll leave 'em there for a bit, I was putting the 1.0c version together on a horrible netbook that can't even do hw rendering in the editor mode, so the chance for screwups is higher.

also, slapping the fix onto the new pack will not cause any harm, so no problem.

[674f5467f0ff9Primitive Primate]

Now I know. Thanks Voodoo.

Chains? Where we're growing we don't need chains!

1.0d is up, same as 1.0c, but with the chainless hanging plant model included, and rec2 dml that swaps it where necessary. old rec2 saves will not work.

everybody is recommended to update (those 19 who got 1.0c included).

[674f5467f1592voodoo47]

small update - cleaned up some dml deficiencies. 71 users have managed to get the 1.0d version in the meantime, seems like everyone loves flowers.

will clean up the old versions after a couple of days, if no issues with 1.0e are reported.

video not available (and, looking at the preview picture, which IS available, that's probably a good thing).

[674f5467f1862Primitive Primate]

Heh. It's a music video for the song "Life is a flower".

[674f5467f195bvoodoo47]

yeah. this one.

[674f5467f1a2cKolya]

That's a foot eating flower isn't it?

[674f5467f1b1fvoodoo47]

nope, it's a rafflesia - a big, pretty flower at first sight, until you realize it's a parasite that smells like rotten flesh. so yeah, if life was a flower, rafflesia would do nicely.

[674f5467f1becPrimitive Primate]

Damn nature, you're scary

[674f5467f1ecdvurt]

Thanks for fixing it. Really strange that the chains werent in the latest version, clearly remember having them in my game, must have forgotten to add the latest mesh i guess.

[674f5467f1ff5voodoo47]

1.0f uploaded - fingerprinted, and made it SCP ready. old releases will be cleaned up this week.
