Jungle River and Lake Resort map updates

Author: Blue Fang and Jay

Zip sizes:
- jungrivByJay.zip: 26.1 KB

Compatibility:
- jungriv.zoo: All game versions

Description: When Blue Fang created ZT, they created the "Jungle River (Medium)" freeform map with a zoo wall on the map edge. When Blue Fang created MM, they created the "Marine Mania: Lake Resort (Large)" freeform map with a zoo wall on the map edge. These two maps have two problems. If someone tries to edit one of these maps by deleting a zoo wall on the map edge, the ZT expansion packs crash. This problem did not occur in the original ZT. Also, these zoo walls allow people to put exhibit fences against those zoo walls, which will eventually cause a crash when the fences deteriorate and maintenance workers attempt to figure out how to reach those fences. There is more information on this latter problem in the following topic:

These two freeform zoo maps were updated by Jay to avoid these two problems. Other than to avoid these two problems, the two zoo maps were not updated for anything else. Thanks to Casey for originally discovering the crash problem with zoo walls on map edges and for finding which of ZT's zoo maps have this problem.

To install the Jungle River map update, go into ZT's "maps" folder, rename jungriv.zoo to jungriv-original.zoo, extract jungriv.zoo from jungrivByJay.zip, and put that jungriv.zoo into ZT's "maps" folder.

To install the Lake Resort map update, go into ZT's "maps" folder, rename lg_resrt.zoo to lg_resrt-original.zoo, extract lg_resrt.zoo from lg_resrtByJay.zip, and put that lg_resrt.zoo into ZT's "maps" folder.

Suburban map update

Author: Blue Fang and Jay

Keywords: map

Release date: June 3, 2022

Most current zoo map date:
- lg_sub.zoo: June 3, 2022

Zip size:
- lg_subByJay.zip: 53.4 KB

Compatibility:
- lg_sub.zoo: CC and MM

Description: When Blue Fang created MM, they created the "Marine Mania: Suburban (Large)" freeform map with a Low Hedge Fence on the map edge. If someone tries to edit the map by deleting that Low Hedge Fence on the map edge, CC and MM will crash. This freeform zoo map was updated by Jay to avoid this problem by no longer having a Low Hedge Fence on the map edge. Other than for that, the zoo map was not updated for anything else.

To install the Suburban map update, go into ZT's "maps" folder, rename lg_sub.zoo to lg_sub-original.zoo, extract lg_sub.zoo from lg_subByJay.zip, and put that lg_sub.zoo into ZT's "maps" folder.
