Description: Freeform maps have background sounds and flying ambients. This ".ztd" adds 4 new combinations for Map Makers to use when they create new zoo maps. These 4 combinations were requested by ZZ for new zoo maps she wanted to create. When someone makes a zoo map using one of these combinations and makes the zoo map available to others, they should say that NewSoundAndAmbientCombinationsByJay.ztd is needed. If a zoo map needs NewSoundAndAmbientCombinationsByJay.ztd but NewSoundAndAmbientCombinationsByJay.ztd is not in ZT, then ZT will give the error "Unsupported old Microsoft Zoo Tycoon saved game." when attempting to load the zoo map in ZT. NewSoundAndAmbientCombinationsByJay.ztd is not a hack, so ZT will continue to work for everything else like it always has.

Notes for Map Makers:

Currently there are 4 combinations in NewSoundAndAmbientCombinationsByJay.ztd. Since I am limited to 8 characters for combination names, the combination names look strange, but they indicate what the combinations contain. The combinations are:

qbchpsjy: background sound is 3 minutes quiet with loon, chirp, hawk, loon, chirp sounds separated by 30 seconds between each; ambients are bluejay, crow, hawk, parrot, and seagull

sbchpsjy: background sound is 30 seconds sea with continuous faint seagull sounds and 1 louder seagull in the middle; ambients are bluejay, crow, hawk, parrot, and seagull

wbcdprjy: background sound is 87 seconds wind with chirp, loon, chirp sounds separated by 20 seconds between each; ambients are bluejay, crow, dragon, and parrot

wbchpsjy: background sound is 3 minutes wind with loon, chirp, hawk, loon, chirp sounds separated by 30 seconds between each; ambients are bluejay, crow, hawk, parrot, and seagull

The sounds are new sounds, but they are made from parts of various sounds in ZT. Like ZT's background sounds, these background sounds are played continuously. The bluejay, crow, hawk, parrot, and seagull ambients are the same as what are in ZT. The flying dragon ambient is new.

The easiest way to use one of these combinations in a new zoo map is to start with one of ZZ's zoo maps that use these combinations, and update the zoo map to create a new zoo map.
