Penguino's Easy Animals Hack
By Cricket
Author : Penguino
Category : Hacks
Date Added : Jul 20th 04
Updated : Sept 20 2005
Updated : Aug 01 2004
Size : 496.9 KB
Compatibility : ZT Complete Collection
Description: This is an easy animal hack for Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection. This hack does two things:
1. All animals can be exhibited together safely.
2. Though suitability still behaves as if you didn't have the hack, the animals will still be happy at any suitability, as long as their other needs (food, medicine, etc.) are met. This allows you to create any exhibit you want.
Aug 01 2004 -- Updated so dinosaurs no longer eat eggs.
Sept 20 2005 --- Updated so all you need to do is unzip and place file directly into dlupdates folder.

Penguino's No Egg Hack
By Cricket
Author: Penguino
Keywords: Hacks
Date released: Jan 19th 04
File Size: 111.3 KB
Compatibility: DD and CC
Description: This hack eliminates the egg stage for the dinosaurs; they come as adults. To use, rename the .zip file extension to .ztd and place it in your Zoo Tycoon/dlupdate folder, making sure that 'hide known file extensions' in folder options is turned off.
NOTES:
- Only works for official in-game dinosaurs.
- If the hack does not work for in-game dinosaurs, you might have a version where extra bytes are at the end of the ".ztd", which confuses ZT. Rezip the ".ztd" to get rid of any extra bytes.
- Although the download Description says to rename the .zip file extension to .ztd, that is no longer true. The download is a ".zip" that contains a ".ztd". So the ".ztd" would be extracted from the ".zip" and not renamed, although it still will not work in ZT until it is rezipped because of the above mentioned problem.

Author : Pixigger
Category : Hacks
Date Added : Jul 21st 03
Size : 2.2 KB
Compatibility : All Game Versions
Description: This hack allows Man and Woman to use the Tree Swing as well, although the only animation is the swing itself disappearing whilst in use (not the tree!).I have also edited the Time that people use the Swing for to try and provide a gap between each person emerging the other side and have also increased the happiness boost to partially offset the drop in happiness resulting from being inside an exhibit! This zip contains the edited Tree Swing file that also lets Man and Woman use the Tree Swing, although the animation for the Swing when in use is restricted to the disappearance of the hanging seat (there are no animations for Man and Woman using the Swing)

Swimming Rainforest Trees Update

Updated : N/A
Size : 75.4 KB
Compatibility : ZT Complete Collection or Marine Mania (both versions are included)
Description: As requested in the Hacks Request Thread, this file updates the Rainforest trees so they can be placed on water terrain.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
There are two versions available and it is important that you install the correct one:
The Complete Collection version will not work with any of the other expansions. This particular update also features changes to the Fallen Tree so that it can be used in any habitat and will not count towards the foliage requirement of the animals.
There is also a version for the Marine Mania expansion but may also work with Dino Digs and possibly even the original Zoo Tycoon.
Full installation instructions are included in the readme.txt file enclosed.

Swimming Wolf Update
By Cricket
Author : pixigger
Category : Hacks
Date Added : Sep 9th 03
Updated : Update date not available
Size : 7.9 KB
Compatibility : All Game Versions
Description: Another ZA forum request - it was discovered that the Arctic Wolf and Gray Wolf had swimming animations but never swam! This update therefore makes use of these 'hidden' animations and enables swimming for the Arctic Wolf and Gray Wolf.
To install, just download the file swimmingWolf.zip straight into your C:\...\Zoo Tycoon\Updates folder and then rename it to swimmingWolf.ztd.
Open/create a zoo, place Wolves with some fresh water and watch them swim!
NOTE - if you have the Complete Collection then this will only work if you download the file into c:\...\Zoo Tycoon\dlupdate folder because this folder is read before the main Updates folder which does contain edited animal AI files already.

Tour Guide Visual Makeover
By Cricket
Author : pixigger
Category : Hacks
Date Added : Sep 29th 03
Updated : N/A
Size : 810.4 KB
Compatibility : All Game Versions
Description: This file updates the graphics only of the Tour Guide so that they take on the appearance of certain animals depending on what task they are performing.
Specifically, for male [female], when standing they look like Bengal Tiger [Red Kangaroo], when walking then Lion [female Black Buck] and when speaking Gorilla dancing [chimp waving arms].
To install, download the file into your C:\...\Zoo Tycoon\Updates folder and then rename to tourguidemakeover.ztd (rather than ... .zip).
NOTE: This is simply a visual makeover and does not affect either the Tour Guide's AI file or any other Staff Hack that I know of.

Zoo Admin Map Editor
By Cricket
Author: Loewenfrau
Keywords: Hack, Utility
Release date: October 30, 2003
Current ztd date: October 29, 2003
Zip size: 219 KB
Compatibility: All Game Versions
Description: This tool allows you to edit your Zoo Tycoon maps, place walls, gates and developer scenery where you want them on your map, including the animals foods, to create an unique zoo map. It is completely compatible with all versions of Zoo Tycoon including the Complete Collection Version.
Notes: This and MMFreeformUnlock.ztd should not be used at the same time because they both use unlock2.scn with different contents. Also, this is an admission booth hack, developer object hack, food hack, zoo entrance hack, and zoo wall hack. So it should not be used at the same as any other admission booth hack, developer object hack, food hack, zoo entrance hack, zoo wall hack, or map editor. Although this map editor allows placing animal food, that should not be done because ZT does not fully understand that type of animal food placement. Zoo walls and fences should not be placed along a map's edge because the ZT expansion packs will crash when those are deleted.
Note from Jay:
Of course I feel the Developer Map Editor Hack should be used instead, at least until there is something that is even better.
