MM Freeform Unlock
By Fern
Since this file was at ZTUF amongst other sites, I am releasing it here.
Author : pixigger & Loewenfrau
This file gives you every single item available for Zoo Tycoon, Dino Digs, Marine Mania, and Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection on Day 1 of any new Freeform Game so that you do not have to wait for items to become available every 3 months. This file is a ZTD file and so can be downloaded directly into your Zoo Tycoon dlupdates folder or your hack folder if you have one. This file can replace the previous Freeform Unlocks as it contains that information plus what has been added by Marine Mania and Complete Collection.
Note from Jay:
In my opinion, this is obsolete. I explain it in a download post at DG:

Alternate Menu Theme
By Cricket
Author : pixigger
Category : Hacks
Date Added : Oct 24th 03
Updated : N/A
Size : 351.2 KB
Compatibility : All Game Versions
Description: This update changes the music on startup to something I composed which is based on the chord sequence of the original theme. However this version has three distinct parts, each designed to better represent the different sub-themes of ZT, DD and MM.
Full installation instructions are included in the readme.txt file and you should note that you need to extract the WAV file and convert it to PCM format (instructions also included) as the current MPEG Layer-3 version will not work. The reason for this different format is due to filesize - the uncompressed PCM format compatible with the game is 8.8Mb compared to the MPEG format at 300Kb!

Fences Forever Hack
By Cricket
Author : AussieKoala & Loewenfrau
Category : Hacks
Date Added : Jul 21st 03
Updated : N/A
Size : 11.5 KB
Compatibility : All Game Versions
Description: This hack will prevent new fences from decaying. However it will not work on fences that you have already built before downloading the hack, or in zoos you've downloaded from other players who don't have the hack. If you are using this hack with MM the money cheat will no longer destroy your fences.

ZT1 Fences Forever Hack - No Pic - Nique
Note from Jay:
This hack will only work for exhibit fences that come with ZT, plus the user made Pink Fence. In some cases, fences that used to be jumpable or climbable will no longer be. Also, there is a warning for the Pink Fence download (as part of the Fantasy Theme Pack) at ZKL: "WARNING: The pink fence can overwrite the messages of one user created object, whichever one is the first one that Zoo Tycoon loads." So that would be true when this hack is used as well. Being that this is a fence hack, it might not work at the same time as any other fence hack.

Have All Research Completed (Alternative to Penguino's Quick Research Hack)
By Cricket
Author: Jay
Keywords: automatic research completion
Release date: August 10, 2022
Most current ztd date: July 29, 2022
Zip size: 378 bytes
Compatibility: MM and CC
Description: This allows all research to be completed automatically for freeform maps. Although ZooTek-Research-Hack.ztd also allows all research to be completed automatically, unlike ZooTek-Research-Hack.ztd, HaveAllResearchCompletedByJay.ztd is not a hack and is more efficient.
If your ZT has a dlupdate folder, place HaveAllResearchCompletedByJay.ztd in ZT's dlupdate folder. Otherwise put HaveAllResearchCompletedByJay.ztd in ZT's Updates folder. After you start a freeform map or load a saved game based on a freeform map, all research will be completed automatically. On slower computers, this could take a second or two. Once the zoo is saved, the saved game remembers that all research was completed, so HaveAllResearchCompletedByJay.ztd could then be removed from ZT's folders.
Although HaveAllResearchCompletedByJay.ztd is not a hack, if you have your ZT set up to work with a hacks folder and want research to be completed automatically for all freeform maps, you can put HaveAllResearchCompletedByJay.ztd in that hacks folder instead of the dlupdate or Updates folder.

Have All Things Available (Alternative to MM Freeform Unlock)
By Cricket
Author: Jay
Keywords: faster animal and object availability
Release date: August 10, 2022
Most current ztd date: July 29, 2022
Zip size: 477 bytes
Compatibility: All game versions
Description: Other than MM's Kids Map, all ZT freeform maps have animals and objects become available at the start of certain game months. Some special animals and objects need certain tasks to be done to make them available. This ".ztd" makes all animals and objects available immediately, including the special animals and objects. Normally, there are some animals and objects that need their research to be completed before they become available. This ".ztd" makes those available immediately as well. However, because of the way ZT works, if the game is saved and reloaded, those animals and objects are usually no longer available until their research is done, even while the ".ztd" continues to be used. So if those are needed to be available again, research can be completed or the "Unlock everything" button in developerMenuHack.ztd can be used or HaveAllResearchCompletedByJay.ztd can be used.
Other ways to make animals and objects available is to use developerMenuHack.ztd, MMFreeformUnlock.ztd, or ZooAdminMapEditor.ztd. The preferred way to make all things available is to use the "Unlock everything" button that is made available by developerMenuHack.ztd. That is the button that was used by the developers of ZT to make all things available. That "Unlock everything" button also has the advantage over HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd, MMFreeformUnlock.ztd, and ZooAdminMapEditor.ztd in that it can be clicked at the spur of the moment while in ZT instead of when a zoo is loaded. And developerMenuHack.ztd has the advantage over ZooAdminMapEditor.ztd in that it makes 7 of DD's rubble pieces available instead of only 1. Neither HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd nor MMFreeformUnlock.ztd make DD's rubble pieces available because ZT has them configured to be in the Developer menu instead of any other purchase menu. developerMenuHack.ztd also makes other developer objects available that HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd and MMFreeformUnlock.ztd do not. Although developerMenuHack.ztd is the preferred way to make all things available, it is okay if people use HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd or MMFreeformUnlock.ztd instead to make all things available. Neither HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd nor MMFreeformUnlock.ztd are hacks. But between the two, HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd is preferred over MMFreeformUnlock.ztd. HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd is more efficient. Also, HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd can make some user made things available that would not be available without using something else.
If your ZT has a dlupdate folder, place HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd in ZT's dlupdate folder. Otherwise put HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd in ZT's Updates folder. Since saved games do not remember what things have been made available, HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd has to remain in ZT's folders if you want the things to continue to be available. So although HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd is not a hack, if you have your ZT set up to work with a hacks folder, you can put HaveAllThingsAvailableByJay.ztd in that hacks folder instead of the dlupdate or Updates folder.

Loewenfrau's Happy Guest Hack
By Cricket
Author : Loewenfrau
Category : Hacks
Date Added : Jul 21st 03
Size : 9.7 KB
Compatibility : All Game Versions
Description: With this hack your zoo guests won't get angry anymore. They don't mind about being hungry or thirsty etc and get really happy if you have unhappy or escaped animals in your zoo.
PLEASE NOTE: It may conflict with some user made objects like picnic tables or benches and some user made buildings. In this case you'll find the hack either not working or zoo guest getting stuck. I recommend removing those objects/building then. It works fine with any user made animals.

Loewenfrau's Shelter Hack
By Cricket
Author: Loewenfrau
Keywords: Hack
Date released: October 2, 2002
Updated: October 22, 2002 at Zoo Admin to include MM shelters.
Zip size (Zoo Admin): 16.4 KB
Ztd size (Zookeeper's Lounge): 18.0 KB
Compatibility: All Game Versions
Description: The shelters in the game are programmed that they can only be used by certain animals. With this hack all animals ( original OR user made ) will be able to actually use all shelters. E.g. you could use a burrow for the elephants and they will actually go inside . Of course they will complain that they don't like the shelter but that will NOT have any affect on the exhibit suitability. I haven't tested the affect on animal happiness though. To top that I made all shelters placeable in water.

Nature Vs. Zoo Tycoon Megahack
By Cricket
Author : Team SFT ( Sideshow_Bob, flamethrower and Tasmanian Tiger)
Category : Hacks
Date Added : Apr 19th 04
Size : 5.9 MB
Compatibility : All Game Versions
Description: This hack deals with the things in nature that aren't correct in Zoo Tycoon. In this version (1.2), these are the following hacks available:
- Sperm Whales are to be made compatible with Elephant Seals
- Anteater will eat Insectivore Chow
- Grey Stone will be put in the African Elephant exhibit
- Asian Elephants will have more foliage, will like bamboo and eat it
- Komodo Dragons and Saltwater Crocs will have a burrow for a shelter
- Giant Tortoises, Giant Ground Sloths and Macrauchenias will live in a rainforest habitat
- Mangrove and Bald Cypress Trees will be placeable in water and tanks
- Sea Turtles will be able to walk on land (sand, dirt) (FIXED)
- The Loch Ness Monster will like coniferous terrain
- There will be more diversity in the Saltwater Crocodile's terrain (i.e. brown stone, savannah)
- The Harbor Porpoise's name will be changed to Dall's Porpoise (FIXED)
- There will be a new animal for the Harbor Porpoise, smaller and plain grey
-----------------
The hack is pretty straight forward to use (put files in the updates folder), with a few exceptions:
- Inside the dallporp folder, there is a .ztd file and a .dll file. Put the .dll file in the main Zoo Tycoon folder, and the .ztd file in the Updates folder.
- The megatherium hack and the .dll files overwrite those in the game, so be sure to make backups.
- Each file is labeled by what animal it edits, and if there is two hacks for one animal, they are labeled by the name plus what the hack does.
-----------------
Lastly, are thanks. I (Sideshow_Bob) would like to thank my partners, flamethrower and Tasmanian Tiger for volunteering for this grueling task. Your expertise are the reason this hack is as good as it is. Also, I'd like to thank anyone who contributed an idea for the hack, especially Supercrochunter, who started the original "Nature vs. Zoo Tycoon" thread. Without these ideas, I would have never started this!
