CP's Flyswatter: Spider & Insect Remover for Arachnophobia

Description
For everyone who suffers from arachnophobia, or even a simple dislike of insects.

This will change spiders, scorpions, and sand reapers into non-insectoid animals, and also removes spiderwebs. The HP of the insect is not changed, nor is the XP received from killing it. Original drops and harvested materials remain the same.

Giant spiders have become giant lions; the demon spider is a white komodo dragon. Small spiders have become either imps or hyenas, depending on the variety of spider. Scorpions are now rocknoses, and sand reapers are bat demons. All pet insects have become gazelles. And just for good measure, the giant snake is now a larger than usual cobra.

I did what I could to choose replacements that made sense for the environment and terrain, but I'm not perfect. This is the first non-trivial mod I've released for Conan Exiles. I'm open to suggestions for improvements.

For now, the Isle of Siptah is not fully included in this mod's replacements. I don't play on Siptah myself, but I'm aware that there are spiders there that don't appear in the Exiled Lands. I'll look into adding the Siptah-exclusive stuff to the mod if people want that.

This mod (all my mods, to be honest) brought to you by Xevyr, and by the help received from the Conan Exiles Modding discord server, but mostly Xevyr. Thanks.

TL;DR, great job on this one!

2. (Comment was too long)

If you decide to start or stop using the mod at any point, it will change everything to the desired outcome. So with mod = no spiders, change back to without mod = spiders. Or start without mod = spiders, will become no spiders with mod. This is great to know because this allows you to switch on any given moment. Like when you'd want to use this for a new player on your server or remove when someone's leaving. Or when you, like me, severely dislike spiders in the game, but deal with them when just playing but are tired of running into them when just trying to set things up as an admin. I noticed how I never ever fully explored spider locations as a player, so it's nice to have some peace of mind when adminning ^^

Some relevant information for anyone who considers using this on a server or just temporarily:

The change to imps and hyenas+lions will make the imps and the hyenas+lions fight and kill each other because they enter different enemy classes that do not get along. This also makes the skeletons in the Executioner's entrance hostile to what once were spiders and vice versa. So this will make some places easier of at least a whole lot more chaotic :D There might be more of these instances, but these stood out to me.

Am I dreaming? I can play this game without arachnids?! How'd I not find this before!! I've been dancing around playing for years! Because no mod fully removed arachnids. And the insects ugh. Hoping one day Siptah is added but I'm so eternally grateful for this!

At last I can play without anxiety. 😭

some news about the mod ?

Thank you very much for your mod .. spiders were so terrifying for me that my boyfriend were forced to to fight them without me because i just couldn't get close to them and I often almost ALT + F4 the game when one rushed me by surprise .. I hope Siptah will be soon supported, I'd like to do this DLC with my boyfriend but there's too much spiders for me in it .. way too much :x

@Sovie I can change the ones I know about, definitely. The only issue is that I don't play on Siptah myself, so I don't know what enemies are the spiders. And I can't test it properly.

I didn't specifically include Siptah because I can't 100% guarantee every single spider will be removed, due to not being able to test. and I'm pretty severely phobic myself so I know how important it is to have that guarantee.

That being said, I will go ahead and add in everything that uses the spider models I'm aware of. Give me a couple days on that. The only problem will be if Siptah has arachnids that aren't using the same model and aren't named "spider" in the devkit. I just don't know. If you happen to have the enemy names, I can remove everything.

Thank You very much. You helped me to play more in Conan. I would delate this game without that mod <3

Thank you for this! I want to play Conan Exiles with some friends and I have severe arachnophobia. I'd be super grateful if you would change the spiders of Isle of Siptah too!! Thank you very much for your hard work, I wouldnt be able to play the game without people like you! ♥

@Gnowmi On the very small chance you're actually serious: Sure it's possible, but I'm not gonna do it. There comes a point where this game is not a good choice.
