Same I thought when I was trying the mod, but yeah, right now I think is not possible, but I am working with the API which should give me more control on these, and who knows, maybe we will soon get a more accurate sprite ;D. Thanks for your comment.
No Problem, Its your mod, So do whatever you like with it, I just provided that nostalgic touch! Although I have a suggestion you can add to your list, Raising Chocobos, and have different sprites to represent its life cycle, So from a chick, to it losing its soft feathers, and grow to an adult, and start to molt its feathers to represent it as an old chocobo
Yeah!, I already have that idea of growing chocobos on my list, the idea was given by LastChristmasCG ( http://community.playstarbound.com/members/lastchristmascg.612424/ ). But thanks anyway!
Now we need to have an ability to create in game events or possible minigames, And one idea came to mind is well, Chocobo Racing!
Wow! what a coincidence haha, thanks! Post any ideas if you want, and I will do my best to implement them!
The only reason I was was because someone on Twitter was like OH MY GOD I NEED CHOCOBOS! so my heart wasn't entirely into it, and I was getting frustrated with making the sprites fit (coincidentally I was using the same ones ) so I just set it aside for later. Really glad you're doing it because I probably never would have finished!
This replaced textures goes well with the red XII replacing the dog. Now we just need a re texture sprite for the wizard to make him into one of the wizards from final fantasy, the black wizard would probably suit him best.
Most Chocobo theme songs in the Final Fantasy Series have its genre and "De Chocobo" In its name, So Songs like Odeka de Chocobo, Electro de Chocobo, Fiddle De Chocobo, Brass De Chocobo, Dash De Chocobo... and thing goes on, But, the only exception is its themes in the Fabula Nova Crystalis Anthology (The Final Fantasy XIII Series, Type 0, and FFXV Games) Which starting from FFXIII is the song, Chocobos of Cocoon, and so forth Crazy How I know this?, well, I am a Final Fantasy Fan, Played since IV came on the SNES
Well...It is not a bad idea, but right now I am focusing only in the chocobos, but hey!, I will add it to the list of posible ideas, thanks for your colaboration!!
