Compatibility: All Game Versions

Description: Zoo Tycoon has a limit of 63 dll files, including dll files created by Blue Fang. If Zoo Tycoon sees more than 63 dll files, it will not start. There are far more than 63 user created dll files. For people who like having lots of buildings, etc. in their game at once, this provides a way to have more. This dll file includes the messages from at least 90 other dll files from a number of sites. It does not include dll files that have message conflicts or scenario messages. Also, it does not include dll files from other sites that are combined dll files themselves.

In order to get around the Zoo Tycoon limit, you might be tempted to use a building without a dll file. This will probably work if you never ran a "patch" program that comes with some downloads. However, if you did run a "patch" program, we have seen where Zoo Tycoon can do sporadic crashes. It is highly recommended that you do not run any "patch" programs. (If you have run "patch" programs, you should replace the lang0.dll file with the one provided by Zoo Tycoon. You might no longer see names for some things, but at least you should have less, possibly no, game crashes.)

Please note that this dll file does not fix user items. If you were having problems with a particular user item before, you will still have problems with it. If it worked before, it should still work.

The name of the dll file has two dashes in its name intentionally. This prevents it from overriding any dll file with no dashes or one dash in its name. This name also allows other combined dll files to be used at the same time as this file.

Created by Jay via merging the messages in dll files created by a number of other people.

Instructions: Extract LANG--ZKL.dll from langzkl.zip and put the LANG--ZKL.dll file in Zoo Tycoon's main folder (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon), which is the same folder that has ZT's lang0.dll. Then MOVE OUT any of the following dll files if they are in the Zoo Tycoon main folder:
