  1. I learned me some mobile and desktop app development for a class this past semester so I figured I'd practice those skills some more so I don't forget. Introducing PANDA (Project and Animal) Loader, a new tool that will help you manage your ZT1 and ZT2 mods with a UI. Target features will be: Quickly enable, disable, and delete your Zoo Tycoon mods without touching any files. If you'd like to follow progress or learn more about the project, this is the project page: https://github.com/GoosiferIO/PANDA-Loader This project stems from a discussion I started earlier this Fall, so you might see me try taking on some of those ideas: https://zootekphoenix.com/forums/topic/41046-local-lang-dll-generator/ No release yet but tentatively this Winter. See you all soon in my other projects as well. So happy to be on break again.

View File Aqua Merriment Pack by pic (Partners in Crime, aka Gem_del_mar and Cricket) The Partners in Crime happily present you with ~*Aqua Merriment*~ This all-animated pack contains 4 aquariums and 10 whimsical sea critters to decorate you zoo. The aquariums are land and water placeable and all of the sea critters are land and water placeable as well as tankable. A very special thanks to Paul for creative naming help! The download contains both a combined .ZTD* file and individual .ZTD files in the zip. * If you use the combined ztd you don't need the individual files Submitter Cricket Submitted 12/18/2023 Category Water-Related Objects

  4. By way of :254:/>/> The guests were not eating ice cream after the dolphin show and so the zoo was losing money. I moved ice cream to the dolphin show area. It soon started earning money. I often use concrete in these food areas so guest do not shortcut through them. To brighten it up I used citrus sun path by Genki and green prism path by Yellowrose. Although the above screen looks okay at first glance it hold a :hexer:/>/> An amazing number of people are lined up at the trash can and getting hungerier and more thirsty when you check the stats. The problem and the solution is revealed below: Apparently the guests cannot figure out how to move from colored sq to another, unless you put other paths between. Dumb guests. Some guests will hike across undeveloped ground but these guys are stumped.

  9. Day 22: Alright, before leaving from one of the Terrestrial Animal Kids Zoos here is an exhibit focusing on the continent Africa which showcases some animals that are from that continent including its plants, it's natural history, it's culture and its main history. This is my first time using a mod but instead of a mod animal it is a mod building for this one.

  10. Wanted to run this idea by everyone and see if there would be any interest for me to try and figure it out or if everyone is happy with the current system. Ok ok hear me out. I've been looking at lang dll files the past couple of days and I wondered: what if there was a tool that generated a local dll file based on what's in your current download folder? For example: you have 20 mods, you run my tool, it generates a fresh lang.dll that makes all of them happy and compatible with each other. What is the point?: Anyone, but especially modders, would be able to create custom strings without having to modify a .dll using a hex editor. So say you have two hotdog stands. Previously we would re-use one hotdog stand string to save lines in the lang file. But with my tool, you could have one configuration file in your mod that lets you define human-readable strings of your own. It would look something like this: [modstrings] name:Super Hotdog Stand item:Super Hotdog guest-thoughts: - Haha this hotdog sucks. - Ew never coming here again. - Oh you know what, it's not so bad if you pour all of the ketchup, mustard, A1 sauce, relish, mayonaise, and pepto bismol ontop. item-tooltip:Don't buy this hotdog stand, guests will hate you except for the one that drowned it in ketchup, mustard, A1 sauce, relish, mayonnaise and pepto bismol. I mean maybe, that sounds pretty gross actually. What about the hundreds of files without this new configuration file? The tool would support old lang files if you have them. If you, the downloader, wants to customize the strings, you can just make a custom config file and make your own strings and the tool will ignore the old strings and use the new ones. Considerations as a community and other limitations For new mods, it would be one extra file adding a few more bytes. (though text files are almost negligibly-small) It would allow redundant buildings to have their own unique names (Super Hotdog Stand, Spooky Hotdog Stand, etc.). This will fix the problem of rotating an object and the selection resetting to another object with the same name. The only inconvenience (at least early on) would be for users to manually double click my binary file every time they update their download folder for the lang file to update, but otherwise it would ideally be that easy to use. Let me know if you have any questions! This is probably super weird and unnecessary, and maybe not enough people would find it useful, but if there are, maybe I can start working on it during the holidays. (no I haven't forgotten my unreleased projects xD). It might not even be possible but think of the possibilities.
