Creatures List

[Alec]

warning: if you haven't played through the whole game yet, and want to discover the different creatures on your own, avoid this list.

This is a list of a bunch of the creatures in Aquaria that can be easily included in a mod. There may be some that aren't used in the final version of the game. (they may not work as well) This list is also probably missing a few creatures!

To include them in your mod, add the names of the creatures you want in your mod directory's entitygroups.txt

Ideally you should separate them into groups. The groups have a certain size limit. (only so many entities will be shown on an entity selection page)

You have my thanks

[Burton Radons]

I guess that opens the floodgate, so here's an archive containing a full list, a list with groups and short descriptions, a tree form organised by group, and an entitygroups.txt that contains all usable entities:

http://members.shaw.ca/burton-radons/aquaria-entities.7z

Note that this includes all story entities and so could give you plot information before you expect it, although I try to keep descriptions functional; what this looks like and what it does rather than how it's used.

um, what's a 7z file?

The reason I'm asking is because when I try and download it, it pops up an error saying that windows vista has bo idea what the file is.

And extremely nice, dude. I kinda felt there was some stuff missing in Alec's list xD

If I may ask, what exactly are all the "Eric_Something" entities?
I noticed there a quite a few.

Also, I'd be curious as to how to "activate" certain bosses. Most of them "trigger" a boss fight once they are dropped, but some just idle around and do nothing (King Jelly, Kelp Forest Boss). I guess since these bosses are triggered through some sort of cutscene (for example, the camera panning to King Jelly and itself then slowly descending.

I guess you have to trigger them with nodes of sorts, but I have no idea how xD

I noticed that many or most of the entities that we can add have their game default behavior. For example the little nautilus things will attack Naija in a yo-yo way. Is there any way of overriding this? (So that they can behave differently). I know we can add extra behavior but I would like to be able to override the default behavior. Also is it possible to attach more than one pet to Naija?

Don't really know about the pet thing, but you can change the behavior by changing the .lua script. Maybe ask Alec real nicely if you can have the script(s).

The way to do it is by editing the scripts. I can hook you up with an archive of all the scripts used in the game if you like. It does involve scripting (a form of programming).

Depends what you mean by "pet". There is the pet system that is built into the menu... its not really possible to allow the player to select more than one pet at once. However, you could implement creatures that follow you around using scripts. They just wouldn't be selectable in the pet menu.

[deb]

Thanks. Regarding the pets idea, yes it makes sense to do it the way you suggest (just have more than one creature follow you around, with some way of dropping the creature other than through the pet menu). I will try it. And yes I would love to learn to override the default behavior by changing the scripts

deb

[Aërendyll]

Will there be a list of the environment components too? Just asking.

[Alec]

Actually, this is a better place for lists: http://aquaria.sfiera.net/wiki/Main_Page

[Danger Mouse]

I know this thread hasn't had any posts for quite some time, but I noticed a few things, one neight creature list is complete, the one you gave us Alec, nor the one on the aquaria.sfiera.net/wiki aquaria modding site. Like for example all the tropical fish are missing. Now that the game has been out this long could we get a full list of the entities? Also, were you going to post those entity behavior lua scripts? Coming pretty far on level design for my mod, but there's so much more content already in the game that I'd like to be able to use. Anyways, with the lack of tropical fish entity names I've been making a lot of my own, but I would like to still use all the current ones made for more variety and atmospheric results.

Did you try that 7z?
