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

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!
