[DrK] Spiders to Scorpions [LEGACY]

This is the page for the Spiders to Scorpions mod built for CONAN EXILES - LEGACY. It won't be maintained and updated anymore.

* Description : This mod replaces all spiders in the game with Scorpions, trying to preserve the spiders original attack patterns and timing ( poison launcher, web launcher, essentially ). I also tried my best to preserve the color variants for increased diversity, especially since there are only two scorpion meshes : regular scorpion, and boss scorpion. mod ID : 1401835639

* F.A.Q : - Will you ever update for the old, Legacy Conan Exiles again? No. I mean, I never needed to update before as the mod amazingly kept NOT breaking through the years, so, now that Legacy won't be updated and supported by the devs again, this mod is now frozen in time.

- So why scorpions? Well, they are close enough to spiders ( being of the same family and stuff ) and scorpions were approved by our resident arachnophobic player.

- How would you spot a "transformed" spider ? Colors, mostly. Standard scorpions are generally brownish. While I kept that color, I also added a lot of color variants matching, more or less, the asset name ( like, Spider Widow Blue will be... Mostly blue. ). They also rarely use their sting in melee. The more dangerous spiders, Widows, still attack with poison and web throw. And, well, scorpions don't usually dwell in the same places as spiders, so there is also that.

- Why another spider replacement mod ( snakes ) ? I believe ophidophobia is probably the second major phobia, and as it happens, I ALSO have one in my team. I had to make something else !

- Why that file size ? I added a bunch of new textures to add colors variations to the replaced models, in line with the spiders much greater skin diversity.

* Features : - All basic spiders, including spider pets, are now scorpions. The mesh and animations were changed directly at the source. Special spiders ahave been kept intact : Demonic Spiders, Spider of Leng, Avatar of Zath, and the Devolved Spiders - most of them from Siptah. - Spiders original attack patterns kept as close as possible to the original. - Loot tables kept intact. Scorpion yields you gossamer? It was a spider. Don't want to upset the ressources balance in the game. - Various colors to try and match the original intended designs, within the limitations of the existing scorpion textures.
