1) How can I make zookeepers work and move faster? at least I want them to move as fast as scientists with Dr. Scholl cheat. No matter what I did they are awfully slow all the time.
"Work" and "move" are two different things. By default, zookeepers and scientists walk at the same speed. Their cSlowRate setting determines how fast they move when walking, and both have it set to 33. There are separate research categories that, once the research is done, will increase their cSlowRate setting by 40%. Supposedly the Dr. Scholl cheat will cause all scientists to walk twice as fast. The work speed is more complicated, because it depends on the type of work. Zookeepers and scientists check for work at the same rate. But doing work might be different. For example, when cleaning poo, the zookeeper supposedly does its clean animation 4 times, while the scientist does its clean animation 2 times. But I have not checked how long each of their clean animations are to see if that means the zookeeper cleans slower. All of these could probably be changed with a hack, but I avoid these types of hacks because these types of hacks can conflict with one another. The ".ztd" files that come with ZT should never be changed directly because ZT had to do overrides on their own to make the expansion packs work. Instead, hacks should be in their own ".ztd" files and put in folders that do not have ".ztd" files that come with ZT in them. For example, when I did the Developer Menu Hack, I recommended that a folder called "hacks" be created and I said how to make ZT see that hacks folder.
2) How can I make Spinosauruses and Gray Wolves like each other and being compatible with each other. I managed to make the dino not to eat the wolfy, but they are complaining about each other, they say "you go off of this exhibit" and the other say "no, u!"
Of course, you are talking in generalities, since the animals do not actually say those messages. Again, this would be a hack, since they are animals that come with ZT. Rather than an animal hack, I would have created a user made Spinosaurus and a user made Gray Wolf that use user made shelters (or a shelter hack). Animal compatibility is a complex subject. For perfect compatibility, they have to like the exact exhibit. Then they have to be configured to tolerate each other, which is also complex. The [cCompatibleAnimals] section in an animal's configuration says what other animals, families, or genera a specific animal likes. The Gray Wolf has an ID of 5015, Family ID of 5207 (Canine), and Genus of 5111 (Wolf). The [cCompatibleAnimals] section for the Spinosaurus does not have 5015 or 5111, but it has 5207 with a value of -20. So to make the Spinosaurus tolerate the Gray Wolf, that has to be countered by adding the following 2 lines to the [cCompatibleAnimals] section of the Spinosaurus:
v = 5015
v = 20
Or if you want the Spinosaurus to tolerate all wolfs instead:
v = 5111
v = 20
Or if you want the Spinosaurus to tolerate all canines, the following pair of lines would be removed:
v = 5207
v = -20
A similar thing would have to be done in the [cCompatibleAnimals] section of the Gray Wolf. The Spinosaurus has an ID of 5091, Family ID of 5216 (Dinosaur), and Genus ID of 5141 (Spinosaur). To make the Gray Wolf tolerate the in-game Spinosaurus, the following 2 lines would have to be added to the [cCompatibleAnimals] section of the Gray Wolf:
v = 5091
v = 20
Or if you want the Gray Wolf to tolerate any Spinosaurus, including user made ones:
v = 5141
v = 20
Or if you want the Gray Wolf to tolerate all dinosaurs, remove the following pair of lines:
v = 5216
v = -20
3) How can I make Guests see more than 10 tiles away in exhibits? the max range is 10 tiles. I tested it and I found at nowhere that anyone made something that make them see more than 10 tiles.
The distance might actually be 20 tiles. Again, this would be a hack. Guest hacks in particular should be avoided unless they are community wide ones. At one time, designers were creating new working benches, but those are guest hacks and they conflicted with one another, causing guests to get stuck. The tile distance a guest can supposedly see, assuming no obstructions, is half the cSearchRadius setting.
4) How can I increase the zoo guest cap from 1000 to 2000+ ? and how can I manage to add a new award 2000 guest milestone award too? and how can I make the game stable enough to not to make it crash by overloading because of too many units/animations in game?
Most likely, overloading ZT with a lot of animations would cause it to run slow rather than a crash. And when it starts to run slow would be based on how powerful one's computer is. Making a new award is very complex, involving creating a ".scn" file and adding messages to a ".dll" file, which involves a ".dll" editing program. As for changing the maximum number of guests, the following post at Zookeeper's Lounge says how to change it:
http://www.lunamanar.com/zklounge/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=123#p369585) I still dont understand how langZA files work and where should I check to delete the files that I should delete in order to not to cause any conflict? I even don't know where to place those langZA files in order to make them work. I even don't know what things they make "working" without any problem. I need an answer to that! I also need a link for each and every known/important .dll file thats published in various websites, for some reason I cannot reach them and I couldn't found the links in this website too. since they are doing something, its better to have them until I know/learn what actually they are doing. I don't have any of them and I actually want to download those existing dll files but I cannot find them. I know their names but there is no shared link for all of them so I (or other people) can download them too..
"lang....dll" files, such as langZA03.dll, contain messages for ZT to show. All "lang....dll" files would go in ZT's main folder. But a number of old "lang....dll" files conflicted with the ZT expansion packs and would cause sporadic crashes. There is a topic at Zookeeper's Lounge that mentions various "lang....dll" files, although it is slightly out-of-date:
http://www.lunamanar.com/zklounge/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1974Some "lang....dll" files can only be gotten by being a member of their site and some "lang....dll" files are not currently available. The "lang....dll" files that are in the open are the one at Zookeeper's Lounge and those at the Zoo Tycoon Designer Guild, although at least one is slightly out-of-date:
http://www.lunamanar.com/zklounge/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=816http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/index.php?board=235.06) how can I make a combined gift shop (from zoo tycoon, marine mania, dinosaur digs, and small gift shops like ring toss, and combine all of their gifts into one building?) that contains EVERY GIFT from every expansion pack?
7) how can I make the combined restourants that contains ALL KINDS OF FOODS from every expansion pack?
The ring toss is not a gift shop; it is a game that can award a gift as a prize. It is not recommended to have a gift shop that has all possible gifts or a restaurant that has all possible foods. The building info window inside ZT can only show 5 sold items at the most. And I prefer to have no more than 4 sold items in a single building because the buildings in the original ZT contained no more than 4 sold items.
8) how can I make animals pooping slower? sometimes the amount of poo (especially in combined exhibits) is just exaggerating and staff are unable to clean them fast enough.
This is another complex subject. If I remember correctly, the cDirtyIncrement setting for each animal says how quickly the animal reaches the need to poo. But there are many factors that can cause a lot of poo. If an animal does not like something, they reach the need to poo more quickly. And one thing they do not like is poo. So others pooing can cause an individual animal to poo faster. Some animals take longer to get upset about something than other animals. Also, the more animals in an exhibit, the more poo that is produced.
