Hello everyone! Thanks for your patience with this one, I hope you find it informative and useful. Real quick, I want to address a couple of items I forgot to include in the video: At 2:17 on the extraction section, I forgot to mention that lots of PCs come with extraction software already installed, so this section is ONLY if your PC doesn’t already have extraction software built in. At 14:48 and 16:26 on the alternate DLC methods, with these, you DO NOT have to worry about renaming the original files in the HUNTDAT folder, since you’ll have the originals saved in the other HUNTDAT folders.
Oh my goodness, I needed this video! Yesterday I tried to download Carnivores+, and I didn't know how to do ANY of this stuff, and didn't extract the files properly, which led to some weird graphical issues. I also had no clue how to move the mod to my desktop. Thank you so much, I needed this guide!
@@SaurianTarget can you help me? how do i play the migration mod, i did everything but i saying "Can't open resources file _res.txt" or "Heap allocation error" can you help me pls bro.
Hey saurian i know this is an old video but this has REALLY HELPED ME in getting these carnivores mods as it is my first time switching from mobile to pc. thanks dude!!!!
Why am I so excited when You upload ? Even if I already know how to install....like...everything Plus I have a challenge for you, drink a cup of beer every time you hear Garret say “DLC” You are now an alcoholic
I have been playing the mods that run on their own engine for ages because I couldnt find carnivores the original for download...BUT now thats a different story, thanks saurian
*Saurian uploads 2 videos in less then 3 days* Literally everyone: *H O L U P* P.S: Weird how I’m watching this despite having known this information for about 3 years now. It’s still entertaining to watch xd
It's always nice to have a tutorial for people who are new to modding like this or just want to try out all the different dlc for mods. also THOSE DAMN ALLOSAURUS AND THEIR HEAP ERRORS! no respect these days,I tell ya >:c
I sure hope so! I know I found adding DLC overly stressful until I started using the latter methods. Also I KNOW RIGHT?? Back in my day, dinosaurs kept their heaping errors to themselves... smh
that just simple to do you make a new folder rename the mod you want to play pick up all the information of the mod and fix the HEAP ALLCATION ERROR chip and that's it
I was originally going to ask how to install dlc using the first method, but I figured it out lmaaaaao All I will say in context is this: water bears are significantly less cute when they’re actually bear-sized
Been trying to get far north working on my pc for months, and i have no problems installing or extracting the mod, but whenever I try opening up the mod to play, it says “can’t open resources file_res.txt”. Anyone know what I should do?
So I tried to install The Middle Islands, I created a shortcut and turned on compatibility for Windows 98, but it says it can't open the res.txt file. The res.txt file is installed but for whatever reason it can't be opened. Edit: A few hours after I made this comment I got it working, I’d forgotten to extract the files first. I just completely forgot to edit
I want to play Carnivores Far North, but when I try, I get a "heap allocation error" and when I do what the video says, I keep getting error. This also happens with JP Hunter Legends, what can I do?
Is it possible to have 2 animals on the same AI? Like let’s say I’m using the DLC to far north and I want to have both the Platybelodon and Sivatherium at the same time, can I set whatever creature to whatever slot I want or do they HAVE to go where their AI number tells them to?
On older mods (like Far North), they have to go where their AI number tells them. Each AI is hardwired to a certain animation order, so if you put the Platybelodon on, say, Daeodon AI, its animations will be all messed up. However, the Modder’s Edition Engine fixes this by allowing you to reorder the animation set from within the RES file, so you can effectively put whatever creature you want on whichever AI. I put Spinosaurus on Allosaurus AI in my personal MEE copy and it works just fine.
@@SaurianTarget Oh neat, im new to trying to figure out how carnivores works and im super thankful for youtubers like you who still reply to comments on years old videos and can explain things in such easy to understand ways.
I recently have downloaded carnivores for north i’ve done everything on the video, but the thing is it keeps coming back to the hunting menu every single time. What can I do to stop it so I can play the game?
Yet another great vid from Saurian. Got a question for ya: What video setting to use on a Carnivores mod when my computer has a GeForce GTX 1080? I tried Direct 3D like you have recommended, but the mod looked weird and flickery.
I've had the same problem. As it turns out (from what I've been told) D3D mode does that on some computers. I just ran the game in OpenGL and that fixed the whole problem. Hope that helps.
Saurian: has an entire home screen dedicated to carnivores. meanwhile me with only carnivores reborn because i dont have enough brain cells to even start any other carnivores game
I have retail copies of all the games, except the first one. The last time I tried installing a downloaded copy of the first game, the sound didn't work. And I'm pretty sure this was on my old Win98SE system. I really should try it again...
I'd love to play carnivores mod's that are pretty looking but sadly D 3D breaks my game to the point that i have extremely low fps and the textures are jumping all around the place. Im playing on a msi laptop that has a gtx 1050 and an Intel core i7 procesor, i tried patches and other fixes but they arent working, also the game breaks the same Way on IA mods as on C2 mods, if any of u had the same problem or maybe know possible fixes please let me know, btw saurian great video and keep up the work,its great seeing games like carnivores still having fans that really care about the franchise after that many Years 🦖🦖🦕🦕
Ah, I hate that the mods don't work for you. Have you tried other video drivers and screen resolutions? Sometimes an odd combination of them ends up working out a surprise.
For some reason when I switch the Video Driver to Direct 3D and try to start a hunt or go to the trophy room, it gives me the error message “Failed to create the D3D9 Device! Invalid call!” and sends me back to the menu. Setting it to 3DFX Glide does the same thing but sends me back to the menu before I can even read the error message. Does anyone know how to fix this? I’m using windows 10 btw.
Saurian Target, do you remember the question that I asked you about carnivores Canon? I mean that utahraptor question, do you remember it? And, the reply you gave was that the carnivores Canon thing was cleared and there is no such thing called Canon. You also told that you are going to make a video discussing about this topic. So, when will you upload the video, just asking. Anyway, nice video. And also, you seem to upload more frequently than earlier.
i downloaded carnivores 2. i did the heap thing but for some apparent reason each time i pressed hunt button and i couldn't start hunting. a window opened saying "programme can't be started, archive 01glide and some other numbers wasn't found. this can be fixed by reinstalling the programme" i reinstalled it and it still didn't work.
What are some examples of mods that don’t need the original game to play it on? Also the media fire link at the bottom it’s the carnivores download links?
hey, im not sure if anyone else has this problem and i cant find a way to fix it. And before i continue i have set up in win 98 and i even went and go the crash fix. When ever i launch the game and try to click into it, it spazzes out my screen. I can see the dinohunt corp for a second and then it minimizes. If i just try click letters it will sometimes let me stay in and play in the main menu but then i get the same problem when i go hunt. I tried changing the video settings in the menu but the 3d one is the only one that doesnt act weird in game. I can find anything on this and its extremely frustrating. any ideas on what to do? video specs that i know off the top of my head: tv monitor gaomon drawing table (functions as a second monitor) nvidia gtx 1660 ti
Whenever I install and play one of these mods, aiming down the sights drops my frames considerably and makes it very difficult to aim. Anyone have any ideas on what this might be? Followed instructions in the video so it must be something else.
When I go into all carnivores games I download when I go into them they don't work but jph 3 and jurassic park hunter polar expansion work and I downloaded ice age and carnivores modern days works.
@SaurianTarget The carnivores you shared in the description section do not work. When I try to open it with 3dfx, it gives errors such as initialization failure, mammap vxd and closes. It opens with software, but the resolution is low and there is no sound. The system is not new, there must be a problem with the files.

Or is it the most ?
Thanks once again suarian keep up the good work man! (Oh btw the way i was trying to download carnivores triassic and the RES error happened)
Carnivores triassic will always be my favorite but I've recently downloaded Far North and it's so much fun to hunt yutyrannus with the hiemal heater !
Definitely! Triassic and Far North are two top-tier mods.
I have been playing the mods that run on their own engine for ages because I couldnt find carnivores the original for download...BUT now thats a different story, thanks saurian
That "Can't open resources file_res.txt" showed up.
Thank you sooo muchhh!!! This helped me 100% now I can play my all time fav pc game but the mods!!! I just started mandible !!!

Also I KNOW RIGHT?? Back in my day, dinosaurs kept their heaping errors to themselves... smh
I love method 3. Thanks Saurian I can now use DLCs in Carnivores!
Glad it helped!
Now I wanna see your Onu-Matoran OC, Saurian. >:c

that just simple to do you make a new folder rename the mod you want to play pick up all the information of the mod and fix the HEAP ALLCATION ERROR chip and that's it
Didn’t work
I can't hear my steps as I go forward, but if when I step back, the sounds are in the corresponding folders, any idea how to solve it?
Also fellas make sure you exclude your mods from scans on your antivirus because mine thought half of them were malware and they got Thanos'd

rip
WHAT!? another video? What is this magic!?
The darkest of dark magic...
i cant get the sound to work on carnivores 1 there is no sound at all, and if i tab out, all i hear is a loud screeching audio bug
play as hunter , don't play as the named save, there should be one already created with the name "hunter"
@@cryptidchow1458 hi! thanks for the tip. i think that was what fixed it
So after we download a mod how do we actually start it?
