Packs and Themes / South American Discovery Pack
Last post by fern - November 06, 2017, 12:04:20 AMSouth American Discovery Pack
Author : Toodlepops, fern and Jay
Keywords : South America, attractions
Release date : 5 November 2017
File Size : 387 KB
Compatibility : All Game Versions
Description : Here is the South American Discovery Pack, created by toodlepops. As the screenshot shows, it consists of 6 pieces. There are 2 buildings that work as free attractions: South American Ruins and South American Expedition Exhibit. There is 1 foliage: Decorative South American Rainforest Tree, which can be placed in any exhibit and does not count toward an exhibit's foliage total. There are 3 scenery objects: South American Observation Area, Quarter Tile South American Rainforest God Statue, and Half Tile South American Rainforest God Statue. The 2 statues are the same object but positioned slightly differently to allow more choices on how to use them. The screenshot also uses CC's Rainforest Rock Path. I also put that path beneath the Ruins and just inside the Expedition Exhibit doors. The Ruins works similar to an up elevator. It is made to put against a cliff that is 6 levels high. Guests enter it from the front center and exit it just passed the stone steps in the back. The Expedition Exhibit has 2 doors. One of those doors cannot be seen in the above screenshot because it is beneath the center Observation Area. Guests can enter the building from either door and exit through the other door. Although the pieces can be used separately, the Ruins, Expedition Exhibit, and Observation Area are meant to be used together as shown in the screenshot. When guests go through the ruins, some will then choose to go into the Exhibition Exhibit from beneath the Observation Area and exit from the door on the left. Here is a link to download the pack.
The messages for the buildings are in LANG--ZTCDD.dll from June 28, 2017 or newer.

Misc Scenery / Globes
Last post by fern - October 30, 2017, 05:09:18 AMGlobes
Author: Dr Rick (aka zoodoctor)
Keywords: Animated Scenery
Originally released Jul 16th, 2007 at Zoo Tycoon Unlimited USA
Updated: February 18, 2018 by Jay to make the ztd files smaller by taking advantage that the same images were used for all views. The Globe was also changed to have it appear in the purchase menu. The Big Globe was also changed to increase the size setting in the configuration to match the actual images. But that means previously saved zoos with it will need to be changed, although there probably are not any previously saved zoos with it. The One World was also changed to make the animation speeds consistent in the views.
Current ztd date: February 18, 2018 for all
Zip sizes:
DrRBigGlobe.zip: 254 KB
DrRWorlds.zip: 46.1 KB
Compatibility: All Game Versions
Description: These were hosted only at Zoo Tycoon Unlimited USA originally.
Big Globe: This is a fantastic globe that would make a great central object for your zoo... just think, you could build a whole central guest plaza in your zoo with this as the focal piece! Created by zoodoctor.
Globe: Guests will love to try and pick out their own country on this attractive globe.
One World: Guests will appreciate the spinning one world ecological symbol, reminding them that we only have the one planet.

The workbench consists of gardens, water features, and meditative areas. There is a church and attached cemetery. There are open areas that could be the homes of doves, swans, or other chosen animals.
Before opening the workbench, please have the following in the Dlupdate File.
These are available at ZooTek Phoenix:

Barbary Lion Log
Description: The Barbary Lion Log is a large cedar log configured as a toy for the Barbary Lion (although any existing Barbary Lions released at other sites will not like it). The Lion likes it and its need for a toy is satisfied by it but it does not actually get on it and use it yet.

Cedar Log
Description: The Cedar Log is the same object configured as a rock so that it can be used with other barbary animals such as the Barbary Jackal. The Barbary Lions are configured to like it too. It contributes to the rock total for an exhibit.

Fences and Walls and Zoo Entrances / Re: Cobblestone Cliff Walls
Last post by Jay - January 03, 2017, 02:16:11 AMCobblestone Level Cliff Walls
Author: Jay
Keywords: Cliff Wall
Date Added: January 3, 2017
Current ztd date: December 20, 2016
Size: 164 KB
Compatibility: All Game Versions
Description: When creating cliffs in ZT, level ones and sloped ones, the vertical cliffs show dirt. I previously created Cobblestone Cliff Walls to cover that dirt for some sloped cliffs and for height 6 level cliffs, which are in the above post. I created more Cobblestone Cliff Walls, which are in this post. These walls are for level cliffs of heights 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. There are 2 versions for each height: exhibit and decorative.
These walls use the same Cliff Wall messages as used by the previous Cobblestone Cliff Walls, which are in LANG--ZTCDD.dll dated March 10, 2013 or newer:
http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/index.php?topic=3734.0
Since multiple cliff walls use the same messages, if you select one in the purchase menu, there are times when the selection will go to the first one in the menu: when the menu is closed and reopened, when the menu is switched to a different one and then back to the fences, when ZT goes through its unlocking logic that occurs at the beginning of some game months. We live with this in order not to use up IDs too quickly.
As mentioned in the above post, ZT has lots of graphical glitches when there are slopes in a zoo. One of these problems is it will show objects through the cliffs and slopes in certain zoo views. To get around this problem, these cliff walls only show images for the views that go in front of the cliff. The other views are just transparent (invisible). That is okay because those views should not be visible through the cliffs and slopes anyway. But that can be confusing if you accidentally put one somewhere that is not against a cliff or slope, since they would only be seen in 2 zoo views. ZT has other graphical glitches whenever there is a slope in a zoo. Depending on the zoo view, the zoom level, and the distance to a slope, ZT will slightly change the position of an object. For most things, this is not noticeable. But since cliff walls are made to be near cliffs, that slight repositioning is more noticeable. For these cliff walls, I did things to minimize the problem, but I cannot eliminate it completely. For example, I had to make the cliff walls slightly taller than I would have preferred. For me, though, zoos look better using them than the various alternatives.
