Gothic Wildlife:
Located in the Southeast area of Second Wildlife, our Gothic section is a place to find our darker,
creepier critters. Our Gothic area features a dead forest to explore
and creepy background music. As a new addition, there will be many
changes in the coming weeks to this park area.
Gothic Wildlife Product Line:
Dropping Tarantula: Based on
our
Garden Spiders (shown in the photo at left) these spiders are bigger, and include
more detailed textures for a creepier look. In addition, the animations
have been refined for a smoother appearance over the garden variety.
Simply place on a ceiling or other hanging item and the tarantula
sits,
patiently awaiting for someone to walk nearby. When it senses someone
nearby it drops down, spins and then climbs back up to the web. Legs
also move realistically while the tarantula is spinning & climbing!
Using easy
to operate menus Tarantulas can be programmed to continuously drop or wait for
the area to clear before the next drop. Drop distance & speed are
adjustable, as well as the sensing range. The base emitter can be made
invisible as well. Additionally, these spiders may be worn - the web
becomes invisible and the legs become animated. When detached, the web
returns & the leg motions turn off so that the Tarantula is ready
to be placed out if you wish. This critter is great for surprising
visitors in
creepy environments or for adding motion and life to your garden.
Dropping Tarantulas come in Red and Blue textures.

Halloween Crab: Listed here for reference only, this 2-prim
sculpted crab crawls about your beaches adding motion & life to
your tropical resort or beach home. Using a unique Second Wildlife (TM)
physical engine, these animals move around realistically while placing
a minimum physical load on servers. See the Seaside "Second Wildlife Crabs" entry for more details.
Like other crabs, this crab likes fresh Second Wildlife Kelp, however
in late summer & early fall they have been known to feast on dead
kelp as well.
Note: Physics enabled animals have some unique requirements. They work
best on smooth land with smooth terrain changes. If used at sim ground
level, it's best to select 'Ground On' in the Options menu to help them
avoid tripping up on the terrain. Making the best use of your critters
limits will also allow them to remain in 'safe' areas, select the Range
menu and click 'Show Range' to see their operational area.

Gothic Rat:Based
on the garden rat, but larger, leaner and darker, with new textures and red
eyes (with Glowing Option!), he
operates in four modes. 'Frozen' stops all movement to make
positioning easier. In 'Sitting' mode his nose and flexi tail twitch
through scripted routines while he stays in place. In 'Running' mode he
will cover an area you define up to 60 x 60 meters and emits squeaking
sounds! In 'Ground Run' mode he will behave the same as 'Running'
except he'll follow the contour of the sim terrain! Second Wildlife's
Gothic Rat is free-roaming within your user
defined limits and utilizes code to make movements appear as realistic
as possible.
A number of new enhancements have been added to bring the Gothic Rat
many of the same features as the Garden Wildlife Running Rats. These
include the 'Ground Run' mode, Ability to Name your Rat, Multiple
Person Menu Access, Sculpted Prims for a Reduced Prim Count, Floating
Text during set-up, Full Sound Adjustment, and Food Seek (requires
Second Wildlife (TM) moldy Cheese, available only at Second Wildlife).
This critter is great for surprising visitors in
creepy environments or for adding motion and life to your
garden. Makes a great gift for those hard to buy for friends and
family too!

Ghost Rat:
Have you ever wondered where Undead Gothic Rats go when their
earthly existence comes to an end? Some may pass into a ghostly
afterlife, haunting old cemeteries, churches and dark forests. This
creature has all the same dimensions & functions as the Gothic Rat
above, but has semi-transparent body parts and Green eyes that Glow
(Glowing Option can be turned on/off) and Ghost Rats prefer Ethereal
Cheese instead of the Gothic Rat's Moldy snack. All other
behaviors/functions are the same as the Gothic version.

Second Wildlife Bats:
Only two Prims!! These sculpted prim bats have wings that flap when
they fly and wrap around themselves when they sleep. There are four
operational modes to choose from:
Freeze Mode - Stops all movements & animations so that you can program a new home point or new sleep point.
Hover Mode - Stops all movements, but turns on flying animation, great for keeping a stationary bat nearby.
Loop Fly Mode - The Bat will fly around the outer limits you set, looks
similar to the llTargetOmega scripts, but uses real flying code.
Free Fly Mode - The Bat will fly randomly within your limits!
Also, you can turn on & off the sleep function that will cause the
Bats to head to the home point, flip upside down and wrap up their
wings around themselves when the sun begins to rise. At sunset, they'll
randomly wake up and begin flying again. You can also choose to save up
to four sleeping points and the bat will select one of those to sleep
at instead of the home point! Sleep points can be added to or erased at
any time. Adding a fifth sleeping point will cause the oldest sleep
point to be removed.
The vending machines sell bats set to 'no-physics', this will allow the
lowest lag and most stable performance possible. If however you would
like smooth, realistic flight, the options menu allows you to turn on
and off physics with a single button press! The live versions flying in
the Gothic Reserve have physics enabled. There are also sound
adjustments in the options menu and you can provide menu access for
your friends.
Currently there are two bats available, a small Brown Bat (wingspan
~1.8m) and a Flying Fox Bat (wingspan ~2.5m). Much work has gone into
making the models, textures and flying behavior as realistic as
possible. There are live versions circling the Bates Motel at the
Second Wildlife Gothic Nature Reserve. Bats can be bought directly or
can be purchased from the vending machine in the Gothic Wildlife Hut
nearby.
