EMU gives modders new tools to make new kinds of mods or downloads they couldn’t do before. I’m making that cheat mod described above for example. Creating new shortcuts for the game is currently not possible, let alone inserting more money on-the-fly. (Not through configuration anyway) For regular users EMU also has a few tools you can summon ingame to make changes to the game as you play. For example: give yourself unlimited money. This is Jay’s idea but if I can figure out where the ini settings are stored in memory, it would be cool if you could update them without backing out of the game to edit the ini settings file. These are the kinds of things this project is interested in.

For EMU itself it just drops into the Zoo Tycoon directory as if it were a lang .dll. It's also a .dll. EMU on its own isn't very interesting but regular users might like the commands it comes with as described above. For mods that rely on EMU, there will be a new folder you would need to create called '/scripts' inside of the Zoo Tycoon directory. My cheat mod for example would drop into this folder. I'll make a detailed guide on release but it will all just be drag and drop!

New semester new updates. State of EMU API: - Coded custom keybinding support. Modders will be able to code new hotkeys for things. Support for single keys, double key presses, triple. - Lua scripting support currently in progress. Only thing holding up release. - CTRL + J brings up a command console. Enter commands to do things to Zoo Tycoon you couldn't do before. Current commands: - addtobudget: enter a custom value for more zoo money - pause: pause the game from the command console - play: resume game after pausing - minimapsize: change the size of the minimap for greater control of your map positioning. Examples: - statsmon: get your zoo stats for the full 12 months not just last 6 There are additional commands just for show but their functionality is already in the game. First mod using EMU is on the way: - Goosifer's Money Cheat. Press CTRL + M for $1,000,000 at a time. No breaking fences. Thank you to Jay for testing! - Will be released on first release of EMU. A tiny teaser (won't see this in first release): Still lots of testing to do and a few kinks to this but you're seeing a stand rotated after placement. Sorry it's taken a while. EMU was meant to release over the summer but I became addicted to coding Zooberry and making normal ZT1 mods like all the cool kids were doing. 😎
