Notes and Comments

Note 1: Trophy Name

These values dictate the species that your trophy is, as follows (assuming you haven't added, removed, or changed the order of the animals in _res.txt; if you have, skip to the end of this note):

0x00 = Null (no animal is displayed)

0x01 = Moschops

0x02 = Gallimimus

0x03 = Dimorphodon

0x04 = Pteranodon

0x05 = Dimetrodon

0x06 = Brachiosaurus

0x07 = Parasaurolophus

0x08 = Ankylosaurus

0x09 = Stegosaurus

0x0A = Allosaurus

0x0B = Chasmosaurus

0x0C = Velociraptor

0x0D = Spinosaurus

0x0E = Ceratosaurus

0x0F = Tyrannosaurus

If you have added, removed, or changed the order of animals in _res.txt, the order listed here will also change accordingly. Also, if you try to use a value higher than the last value on the list, the game will crash upon entering the Trophy Room with an error message about the video executable file (depending on which video driver you have selected in the Options Menu), kicking you back to the Main Menu.

Note 2: Weapon Name

These values dictate the weapon that you used to kill your trophy, as follows (refer to the note in the Species Explanation, above, for exceptions):

0x00 = Pistol

0x01 = Shotgun

0x02 = Double-Barreled Shotgun

0x03 = X-Bow

0x04 = Rifle

0x05 = Sniper Rifle

If you use a value higher than the last value on the list, no weapon will be displayed in the Weapon slot on the trophy's plaque.
