@ExcessBlam I dont quite know what to do about that. It kind of seems like its an issue on Giddy Up side if it is asking for the wrong address. I noticed that too in JoeOwnages logs as well about it requesting the wrong texture path and i dont know how to help.
I think its a report for them not me just since it is their patch doing the lookup wrong. (I have never changed the texture path so its not like its something i did.)

Hey @Paulie-B, I also get the errors that JoeOwnage got.
I believe this is from a conflict with giddy-up, but it's when Giddy-up calls for animal textures, which I'm guessing get called at other times too.
Are those animals confirmed to be from this mod? It seems like they are, but I can't tell for sure.
As I understand it, this problem is because Giddy-up expects a filepath that is slightly different, details here:

Re tortoise: I see no folder called TortoiseGRim, which the path in the img references, but rather, GRimTortoise.

Re pinkbird: I see the folder path mentioned, but I see the folder with the name Pinkbird, as it is usually referred to, but when the giddy-up call fails, it's looking for PinkBird, with a capital B.

So, it seems like the paths reported are not there, in my install, but I don't know why Giddy-up would look for a texture with a path that's not there. Is that a problem with one more or the other?

I have full errors, if that will help.

@LupusIntus sorry for late response but the weathers are in a list in the biome. you just delete the weather name you dont want.

<baseWeatherCommonalities>
<TheMist>20</TheMist>
<RedSnow>0.1</RedSnow>
<FoggyRain>0.01</FoggyRain>
<Clear>0.01</Clear>
</baseWeatherCommonalities>

The thing is, the mist biome is ACTUALLY called the grimerald biome under the hood. the mist biome is something else LOL since the file names dont show i never changed it.

Really love the work you've done on the mod but is there any way I can disable "The Mist" in the overgrown ruins biome? I like the idea but I really don't enjoy how it looks around the buildings (it's all extremelly jagged edges from 'indoor' vs 'outdoor'). I've been looking through editing the xml but can't seem to figure out how to disable that weather type.

I now see myself done with this mod until we get a new update or DLC. Added some more variations of frogs and crabs, re did EVERY TEXTURE to not be as bright and fit better with Vanilla.
