About This File

This is a total User Interface replacement mod for Zoo Tycoon 1 Complete Collection.  This mod was designed for widescreens but will work in any screen resolution.

 

This mod is technically a hack, because it modifies game files.  It will not work with other mods that modify these same files.  The files that it modifies are pretty much every UI template in the game.  Fortunately, very few mods have ever used these files.  As of right now, there are only 3 other mods that are known to modify any of these files, and those mods are Jay's Purchase Babies Hack, Jay's Developer Menu Hack, and Jay's Developer Map Editor.  So I made my UI mod compatible with all 3 of those hacks.  In the case of Jay's Purchase Babies Hack, I have integrated it fully into this mod.  But with Jay's Developer Menu Hack, and Jay's Developer Map Editor Hack you still need to download his mods or they won't work.

 

One other note:  This UI mod will not affect your zoos, or your old saved games, so you can uninstall it at anytime, and it will not cause any issues.

 

Instructions:

(Remember to uninstall any other particleUI mods first!  This mod replaces all my other UI mods!)

 

To install this mod by itself:  Just put the file named particleUI_DreamEmerald_v1.ztd into your "dlupdate" folder. 

 

If you wish to use Jay's Hacks:  Just put the file named particleUI_DreamEmerald_x1.ztd into the same folder.

 

If you are using Jay's Developer Menu Hack (developerMenuHack.ztd) or Jay's Developer Map Editor (developerMapEditorHack.ztd) then you should put particleUI_DreamEmerald_v1.ztd and particleUI_DreamEmerald_x1.ztd in the SAME FOLDER as Jay's Hacks, or you might have issues with those mods not displaying properly, or my mods not displaying properly.  In most cases, that folder will still be "dlupdate", but it is possible that you have installed those files into a folder called "hacks" because that is how Jay has told people to install them.  The files should be in this order alphabetically:

 

developerMapEditorHack.ztd

developerMenuHack.ztd

particleUI_DREAM_EMERALD_v1.ztd

particleUI_DREAM_EMERALD_x1.ztd

 

If you have any problems, or find any bugs or issues, leave a message here or msg me directly, thanks!   You can also see what I'm up to by checking out my project thread here https://zootekphoenix.com/forums/topic/14997-particles-projects/

 

I'd like to say thanks to JBL for making ztstudio, and also to Jay for allowing me to integrate his mods, and also to Cricket for being awesome!

 

There is a purple version of this mod called Lost Amethyst, you can find it here:

If you are interested in using this mod with Jay's mods, I highly recommend it.  Here are links to his hacks:

 

This is the link to Jay's developer mod

This is the link to Jay's Map Editor mod (remember you should only use one map editor at a time)

http://www.ztcdd.org/DD/index.php?topic=9291.0


This is the link to the dll that provides strings for Jay's Hacks.  Although it is not required, I totally suggest you use it.  Just remember to put it into the zoo tycoon installation folder with the other dll files.  It does not go in your dlupdate folder!

Hey Heather.  This does not include zookini.  But it does work fine with zookini.  I use zookini to jump back and forth between different screen setups when I test things, so I have it open in the background most of the time (that is how I designed it to work) , but if you are just not interested in using zookini, then you won't need it at all to use this UI replacement mod.

I just got this working, it's beautiful and great timesaver! Thankyou!

One thing is, it took me a little while to get it to work because reading the instructions on this post it wasn't clear to me that I needed both _v1 and _x1. I feel rather silly now, but it might help other silly people if you changed it to "If you wish to use Jay's Hacks:  Just put both particleUI_DreamEmerald_v1.ztd and particleUI_DreamEmerald_x1.ztd into your "dlupdate" folder"
