Ark Species Images

A collection of species images for both Ark: Survival Evolved and Ark: Survival Ascended. All images consist of a mask and regions so they can be coloured, approximating the look in-game.

File Naming Scheme

See https://github.com/cadon/ARKStatsExtractor/wiki/Creating-New-Images#file-names for details of the file naming scheme within ASB.

As a summary, images must be in matching pairs of base colour (<filename>.png) and region mask image (<filename>_m.png), where <filename> is made up of the following components:

<speciesname>[_<ASE|ASA|modid>][_s(m|f)][_p<pattern>][_v<variant>]

• speciesname is the display name of the species (as showing in ASB and matching the values JSON)
• ASE|ASA may be included to only apply to one version of the game.
• modid is a numeric ID - either a Steam Workshop ID (for ASE) or a Curseforge Project ID (for ASA)
• sm means Male only while sf means Female only
• pattern is the pattern index, for example for Cat where they have 6 pattern options
• variant is the variant index (an integer >0), this can be used to add multiple creature poses the user can chose from

All elements after speciesname are optional. The more elements present, the higher priority it will have.
