@Soka For online play, the server needs to have the mod in its own mod list, sadly :/

@wolrajh It's a mod that works online, right? I'd love to try it, but if I see one of the game's spiders, I'll have a fit, hahaha.

@Soba it should
I haven't tested for a long time but it has been standing the test of time AFAIK!

work?

No Problem :)

I was just curious :)

@Helgenuch
Hey,

That's a good question. Short answer : no, not in the current state.

Long answer would be : Maybe with more advanced modding nowledge, one could make an in-game option to turn it on/off locally, but I'll level with you : I don't have that advanced modding knowledge :p I could try and investigate, but ... I'd rather not make any promise at this point :x

Sorry for the dumb question, but can you switch it on and off, for non arachnophobia players on a server?

You're welcome ;)

Me and my crippling anxiety + arachnophobia thank you for this mod :)

@BlueLisica AFAIK it's still working, I just tested it out ; maybe a mod incompatibility ? Try pushing the mod to the bottom of the loading order so it gets loaded last, maybe.

This mod did not work. All of my spiders were still creepy spiders. Very disappointed.

Thank you!

hi, i was playing today and i notice that the spiders in cages of the Buccaneer Bay still appear like normal spider

Oh, by the way, I forgot to say that I did update the mod for Age of War chapter 4.
I hadn't caught on that the giant scorpions tthat used to have a bit of variety were all looking the same so I fixed that. Likewise, the FX that used to accompagny the poison spit and web throw abilities had completely vanished so it should now be fixed.
Lastly I made a few tweaks to materials just for the giggles.

I'd be curious to hear if it's now working with a g-portal server :)

Thanks for your answer ! Yes lets try this and see if its works

I'm not very familiar with g-portal ( I'm self hosting ), but I just checked and it's still okay on my server and single player. When the devkit finishes its update ( abysmall EGS download speed ahoy ), I'll try to recompile the mod, maybe it'll help ?

Hi i see the mod is too old to be install on a server (g-portal) can someone help ? thanks :)

thanks for this,as someone with arachnophobia i was dreading when i found out there are spiders in this game(accidentally saw one as a mod thumbnail D:) but your mod makes it so ill never see them :D although scorpions creep me,i can put up with them unlike spiders

Added mod ID to description : 1401835639

Where can i find the Mod ID ?

no thank you good sir! you literally saved me from myself XD. i am enjoying the game way too much to the point i would have tears dropping from my eyes for having having to look at those nasty spiders. XD arachnophobia sucks haha

Thank you for confirming it still works Zackson ! So far so good then hehe.

holy fucking shit THIS MOD IS AMAZING and it works on age of war 2 (10/13/2023)

Is it compatible with Age of War?!? I have a friend I'm trying to accommodate, lmao.

Don't worry, I always have an eye here, so I can fix it ASAP when an update break everything :p
So far it seems to be doing alright, fortunately.

Thank you so much for making this mod. <3 You have allowed me to play Conan Exiles despite the creepies. If you ever decide not to maintain this, please pass on your knowledge and whatever we need to maintain this for the future because it really helps people. Spammed you with love and awards!

can we get a verson where Special spiders are done cause i cant handle this game with spiders

Oooh, weird. Given that I hijack the spiders models and switch them for a scorpion, it's interesting that one actual spider could have make it through. I will have to investigate when I have some time, thanks for reporting this !

As for the debate, don't worry, I absolutely trust that scorpions can still trigger people! Phobias are still pretty much irrational ( or TOO rationnal ! ) So anything goes. I can't and won't do much more about it though, I didn't want to go all the way and replace them with pink teddy bears or non thematic stuff like this. I wouldn't have had the knowledge to do so anyway :p
Hmm or maybe with a very evil Thomas the tank engine.. hmm. ( No )

Thanks for the support to everyone by the way!

Hey there, thanks a lot for the mod, I've been playing for 50-60 hours now and haven't had to worry about spiders at all, up until now.

I just visited the Flotsam area in the Swamp and there is a certain vendor there which has a scorpion and an actual black widow spider behind it that scared the f out of me, not sure if that is the only occurance due to a bug as it cannot leave the cage, but now I am too afraid to explore more of this area as it may be happening with a normal spider mob as well.

Thank you once again for the amazing mod and hopefully this can be resolved or clarified!

Considering Scorpions being arachnides:

Yes, scorpions are arachnides. But they have a completely different Look than spiders. For me it is a visual trigger, where scorpions generally don't fall into that scheme. But scorpion CAN be problematic, IF they have very long (or longer) legs. The scorpions in the game have very short legs and they rather "drive" than "crawl", so it's okay for me. But I can imagine, that heavy arachnophobics can even have issues with that. In ARK, for instance, I have deactivated scorpions as well, because their legs and walking remind me too much of spiders, though the body portions do not trigger as such.

Just wanted to give some more insight into the subject from my experience. Hope it helps somehow. If scorpion legs seem to trigger me, I try not to look at them, which in this case is easy, because they are so small.

I have a couple of members for my Conan server that have arachnophobia. This mod really helped them, because (although the same family) don't seemed bothered by the scorpions. Thank you for this mod and I hope you keep it updated through the various chapters... Thank you!

"You're overthinking it ; scorpions are arachnids, sure, but they aren't *spiders*. Most people suffering from arachnophobia I consulted didn't care for scorpions - their phobias are aimed specifically at spiders and they don't stop and think "wait, a scorpion is the same family as a spider, therefore I should still be anguished".
Well, "most" people. :p"

SOOOO much this, I still dont understand why devs even put them in game w/o the option to turn them off. Scorpions are only cool and slightly icky but for spiders i can 100% say for me the big difference is the claws and tail; they make them normal". spiders are odd with how they move and scorpions are more limited in their skittering due to claws and the tail lets you see where they are facing AND also they dont BTK (web, poison and drink) their prey, this mod is a godsend <3

I mean my comment comes from having friends with Arachnophobia who can't play the game because of the spiders *and* scorpions. Don't get me wrong, nifty mod, I Just wish I could find a way to get rid of scorpions too.

Scorpions are still arachnids...This does *not* help someone with major Arachnophobia

can anyone tell me.. where in mod load order should this be

Thank you very much for keeping this updated!

This mode makes the game much more relaxing to play as i don't have to look out for spiders everywhere. Although I almost had a heart attack when i went to the Passage without knowing what's in there. And a second time on the island on the east boarder of the map

had to give you a prize, arachnophobia IS a problem for me, so thanks!

Spammed some awards at you as I'm so thankful for this mod, and I appreciate it so damn much. Thank you Thank you THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH

Thank you!

Okaay peeps, this seems to be working with Age of Sorcery. Phew!

Oh, it's broken then ! Here I was hoping it would surive through updates ,) I will have a look ASAP then.

update please and thankyou! my scaredy pants self needs this mod! tyvm

Any chance to get this updated? I would love to use the mod. Thank you for the work you put in it!

It should work on the spiders that are spawned BY zath, but Zath itself remains unchanged ! Sorry, too risky to change without breaking everything I'm afraid :o

And, thanks for all the awards, I'm humbled :)

i love u so much. you made my day

Does this work on zath spiders?

Now I can play Conan without the fear of spiders XD
