Keywords: mystery, tree

Release date: 2003

Updated: December 15, 2020 by Jay. The original Mystery Tree used a Setup.exe file, which extracted a single ztd and separate cfg and scn files. This version no longer uses a ".exe" or separate cfg or scn files. Unnecessary files and configuration lines were removed. The ztd was renamed to make it obvious it was created by dj_pluffs. This version no longer has message conflicts with other downloads. The messages for this are now in the langdj_pluffs.dll file. (The langdj_pluffs.dll file date must be November 29, 2020 or newer for the messages of this tree.)

Description: As the start of the included story file says: "No one knows where this tree comes from, or if it really is a tree. The only thing we do know is that it was first seen somewhere in Europe in late 1700, but there are stories that this tree has been here since the dawn of creation."

Stone Bench - MM and CC

Keywords: working bench

Release date: 2002

Updated: December 11, 2020 by Jay. The original bench was only compatible with the original ZT and was not compatible with any other guest hack since working benches need a guest hack to make them work. This version is for MM and CC. Since it uses a separate guest hack to make it work, it could be used with the original ZT or DD if a guest hack was made for those that allows this to work. But since more people have MM or CC rather than only the original ZT or DD, currently there is only a combined guest hack for MM and CC that will make this bench version work. Also, this version no longer uses a ".exe" program, the ".ztd" was renamed to make it clear that dj_pluffs created it, and unnecessary files and configuration lines were removed.

Current ztd date: December 11, 2020

Zip size: 14.2 KB

Compatibility: CC or MM

Description: dj_pluffs released a stone bench for the original ZT before DD was officially released. It is very similar to the stone bench that comes with DD and CC. So there is no need to download this for new zoos. But if you have a zoo created in the original ZT that has the dj_pluffs stone bench in it and you want to load that zoo in MM or CC, then this download would be useful. It uses the same messages as the Stone Bench that comes with DD and CC. But if you have MM without DD, the messages have also been added to langdj_pluffs.dll. The purchase cost of this stone bench is 150 while the purchase cost of the stone bench that comes with DD and CC is 40.

This uses the same messages as the Stone Bench that comes with CC. So if one has CC, selects this stone bench in the purchase menu, and then rotates the icons in the purchase menu, that will cause the purchase menu highlight to go to CC's Stone Bench instead. Therefore, after rotating the icons, it is always good to select the desired icon again. There are other times when the highlight can move in the purchase menu: when the menu is closed and reopened, when the menu is switched to a different one and then back to the scenery purchase menu, and when ZT goes through its unlocking logic that occurs at the beginning of some game months. So it is good to check which icon is highlighted after any of those as well. We live with this in order not to use up IDs too quickly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All working benches and tables need a guest hack to work. To make this bench work, the Combined Guest Hack For ZT Community is required. If that hack is not used, guests will get stuck at this bench. The Combined Guest Hack For ZT Community can be downloaded at ZTCDD:

McDonald's Theme Pack - MM and CC

Zookeeper's Lounge

Click Site name to reach the download

Author: dj_pluffs

Keywords: Pack

Date released: 2002

Updated: December 9 and 10, 2020 by Jay. The original McDonald's Theme Pack released at Zookeeper's Lounge in 2002 used a Setup.exe file, which extracted a single ztd and patched ZT's lang0.dll file. This theme pack no longer uses a ".exe" or touches ZT's files. The single ztd was split into 4 ztd files. Unnecessary files and configuration lines were removed. For the stand, all 4 of the food item icons were very tiny. So 2 of them were enlarged. The other 2 were replaced with versions done by Devona, which used the same dj_pluffs messages but with their own IDs. Also for the stand, the configuration was adjusted to not conflict with CC messages. Since ZT cannot properly handle buildings that sell both drinks and takeaway food, the stand now only sells takeaway food and its configuration was changed to work like a food stand rather than like a restaurant with takeaway food. The fee settings were adjusted for the stand to make it easier to understand in ZT. The sign was changed to prevent it from crashing non-English versions of ZT and to correct spelling. The bench and table configuration were changed to be more similar to ZT''s bench and table configuration, and to not conflict with CC messages. The bench and table were also updated to not include a guest hack. These bench and table versions are meant for MM and CC. Since they use a separate guest hack to make them work, they could be used with the original ZT or DD if a guest hack was made for those that allows these to work. But since more people have MM or CC rather than only the original ZT or DD, currently there is only a combined guest hack for MM and CC that will make these bench and table versions work.

Compatibility: Except for the bench and table, All Game Versions. The bench and table are meant for MM and CC.

Description: The pack includes the McDonald's bench, food stand, sign, and table. (Configuration note: the stand removes money.) The food stand and sign work in any ZT version. The bench and table are meant for MM and CC. The messages for the bench and 2 of the food items are in langdj_pluffs.dll. (The langdj_pluffs.dll file date must be November 29, 2020 or newer for the messages of this pack.) The messages for 2 other food items and the food stand are in LANG--ZKL.dll. (The LANG--ZKL.dll file date must be November 29, 2020 or newer for the most recent messages.) The table uses ZT's Umbrella Table messages. Since ZT's tooltip for the Umbrella Table is a placeholder message, lang999-override.dll can be used to get a complete Umbrella Table tooltip message. (The lang999-override.dll file date must be October 26, 2020 or newer for the Umbrella Table tooltip message used by the table in this pack.)

This food stand uses the same messages as Devona's McDonald's Food Stand. So if both are in the purchase menu at the same time and one is highlighted, and then one rotates the icons in the purchase menu, that will cause the purchase menu highlight to go to the first McDonald's Food Stand in the purchase menu. Therefore, after rotating the icons, it is always good to select the desired icon again. There are other times when the highlight can move in the purchase menu: when the menu is closed and reopened, when the menu is switched to a different one and then back to the structures purchase menu, and when ZT goes through its unlocking logic that occurs at the beginning of some game months. So it is good to check which icon is highlighted after any of those as well. We live with this in order not to use up IDs too quickly.

Note: This table uses ZT's guest graphics. Since ZT's picnic table does not have an umbrella but this does, a small part of the guest will show through the umbrella in some views.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All working benches and tables need a guest hack to work. To make this bench and table work, the Combined Guest Hack For ZT Community is required. If that hack is not used, guests will get stuck at this bench and table. The Combined Guest Hack For ZT Community can be downloaded at ZTCDD:

Compatibility: All Game Versions

Description: In the early days of Zoo Tycoon, dj_pluffs created a number of buildings and other objects for Zoo Tycoon. He put his downloads at his ZT Design web site, but he also put most of his downloads at Zookeeper's Lounge. Many of these downloads needed new IDs to be put into ".dll" files. dj_pluffs often did this using ".exe" programs to patch ZT's ".dll" files. Most of these downloads were created before ZT''s expansion packs came out. When ZT's expansion packs came out, it was found that some of these downloads conflicted with the expansion packs. I (Jay) previously got permission from dj_pluffs to change his downloads, including to no longer use ".exe" programs. He gave me permission to do whatever I thought was best. As I change these downloads, I will put IDs needed for his downloads into langdj_pluffs.dll. I will use the original IDs whenever possible and will use new IDs when necessary.

The Chick-Fil-A Theme Pack was updated December 11 and 12, 2020 by Jay. All of the ztd files were renamed, had spelling corrections, and had unnecessary file and configuration lines removed. The fence was also updated to show the proper images when placed on slopes and to use IDs that are in the proper range. The stand was also updated to use IDs that are in the proper range, to adjust the fee settings to make it easier to understand in ZT, to remove any money a guest has, to remove selling soda since ZT cannot handle buildings that sell both drinks and takeaway food, and to remove guests going there looking for energy since the building does not take care of energy needs. The table was also updated to not include a guest hack and to use IDs that are in the proper range. This table version is meant for MM and CC. Since it uses a separate guest hack to make it work, it could be used with the original ZT or DD if a guest hack was made for those that allows this to work. But since more people have MM or CC rather than only the original ZT or DD, currently there is only a combined guest hack for MM and CC that will make this table version work.
