Zoo Tycoon Community Download Directory

Welcome to ZTCDD.

Zoo Tek Phoenix is the most active of the Zoo Tycoon (ZT) 1 sites. In addition to forums and downloads, they also do zoo building contests. As for downloads at their site or any sites, there is no schedule. Designers create things whenever they feel like creating something and have time to create something. Some designers are better at some types of objects than other types of objects. And different people have different interests, including among the designers. As for downloads from Zoo Admin and other closed sites, a number of us have those downloads. But we may not make them available for download unless we have permission from either a site owner or a designer. We do have permissions from some closed sites and designers to host their files, but it is another case of having time. Before hosting any files, they are checked and, in a number of cases, have problems that should be fixed before being made available. In the early days of ZT, the only tool available to make things was APE, and that tool causes a lot of problems. We have learned a lot over the years on how to correct those problems and there are also more tools now than then, such as configuration checkers, Zoot, APExp 3.2, and ZT Studio.

Good luck with your creating and Happy Zoo Tycooning.

Thanks for the advice, I'll make sure to check through those other tools.

First, what happened to Zoo Tek Phoenix, why are all of their downloads holiday buildings?

Zoo Tek Phoenix can be found here

We have more downloads than just the holiday buildings.  Go to the downloads section and check them out.  You'll have to register first, unless you're already a member :)

Thanks, I'm currently waiting for validation.

Welcome to Zoo Tek Phoenix...it's a great group of people, well organized, and so many ZT 1/2 downloads.
Welcome to here...this is a great place for info on so many subjects. I would be really surprised if you couldn't get an answer or help on any ZT problem!!!

Stricktly speaking I am not a new member, but I have been away for so long I thought that it would be polite to say hello here rather than just wading in and posting. I am sorry that I have been absent for such a long time. I have a motor neurone disease which has not only rendered me severely disabled but has also affected my mind and my memory. I was coping, just about, until I joined a motor neurone disease support group on which I made a number of friends, but the group was constantly under attack from scammers, who persuaded some desperate people to spend their much-needed money on false treatments. This upset me a great deal and I retreated from the internet to lick my wounds. I have just restarted my Facebook account and a very kind friend from here reminded me that I had been missing from here as well as from Facebook. For me this has always been a safe place, surrounded by my friends and so I have decided to restart my account here too. My memory has been badly affected by the condition, so please accept my apologies in advance if I post the same thing twice or if I ask the same questions repeatedly. Thank you Fern, for thinking of me and posting on my birthday thread on Faebook reminding me about my friends in the zoo tycoon community. In the world outside the internet I now find remembering the names of people I have known for years very difficult, so if I don't seem to remember you, please forgive me - I hope that it will not happen. I also hope that everyone here has been safe through the pandemic. Anyhow, I am glad to be back and maybe will even manage to do some designing of some sort as I seem to have retained my graphics capability but someone else will have to configure anything I make because that I cannot remember how to do at all. I paint a lot using the computer and a mixture of paint and graphics programs to put together pictures. Here's a painting of me in my powerchair before the UK went into lockdown.

  Yippee. He's here.
It is sad there are people out there ready to take advantage of others misfortune.
I just finished configuring a restaurant and research center you did the graphics for. So you know Jay and I will happily eventually finish anything you do the graphics for.

Hi Dr. Rick.

Of course, it is wonderful to see you here again. You have been missed.

Welcome back, Dr Rick!!     We have most certainly missed you.   

 

Dr Rick...You have always been in my thoughts and prayers!!!
You look sharp in that chair. I'm glad you are back.
I just came back too. We are doing well in our part of the world. Our state is opening up slowly.
Glad that you can drop in...I'm so glad you are still with us!
Peace and love,
Your friend,
Caddie/Michael

 

Hey Rick!

So good to see and hear from you.  Nice wheels! Maybe the boys from Top Gear, can trick them out for you.

Thank you all!  I'm still not up to coming online every day but I'm getting there. I am working on a HUGE painting at the moment (22700 pixels tall and 14000 pixels across). I have just assembled all the pieces together for the first time (it is easier to work on smaller pieces and then put them together at the end). I will make a smaller version of it and post it here later, but as it takes almost an hour just to save it onto my hard drive, I can't make the smaller image of it yet as I am waiting for it to save!!
