My attempt at building a Jurassic Park style raptor pen.
10 points -
Some actual new contents this time. I have never been a fan of how hay-yellow the bison is and how there is a greenish yellow tinge on the grizzly bear, so I decided to brownie-fy (or chocolat-ey) them. Partly inspired by Jymn and Serpy's recent palette edits. The top versions are the ones I think I will settle on. But I did experiment about 6-7 different versions for each animal. Sadly there is no variant support in ZT1. Wood bisons and wisents are quite noticeably different from the American plains bison, but I can see the grizzly alts be repurposed to some other brown bear subspecies in the future.

I really have wanted not to see the tanks at times so we have been experimenting. And this lovely screen of a manta ray is one of our results. It is really fun to watch the ray moving around feeding....But this is not what I meant. Here is a teaser for a couple of new things We are working on a few new things including new Atlantean stuff including a show tank. Some new rocky things that do things they are not supposed to. And more of my coloured things.

This one came about from my frustration in the last contest. These two screens show something I wanted to do but ZT prevented.

Because it may take a while to finish what I am working on, I figured out you guys could use a little treat meanwhile. Has been a long time since the whale. https://khaydarmods.blogspot.com/2026/01/bactrian-camel-domestic.html This a import from model assets made by Blue Fang themselves for the now defunct mobile game known as Zoo Tycoon Friends. Quite proud of those animations.

I'll start this topic the same way I started my projects thread. Well, this is weird and kinda unexpected... This is something I was considering for a looong time and, finally, I took the willpower to start it. Be all welcome into Zarawatto's Corner of Thinking Powered by GoogleSites It's been a while since I removed my Google Drive from my signature due lack of space. However, earlier this year I enhancend my account storing capacity. Also, I noticed and sure you do so how my projects are taking part from modding to writting. This new space is not my main host, it is my personal backup and also the place where I'll update about other stuff. External links to other hosts are always given. It is under construction, but so far I included three sections: - Download directory. To date, Mexican Icons, Toadally Batrocious, Bug Mayhem, Five Virtues Menagerie and the UFO collection are already stored, as well as all of my other single projects. I expect to fully store all my stuff eventually. - Satisfying Screens. Where I'll post builds and stuff. - Lost Library. My personal blog with announcements. My projects thread is still the main path of announcements for modding projects and where I'll post wide information about works in progress. I'm taking content of several screenshots from here, credits are always given, but you may ask for removal whenever you want. If you wanna collaborate with your own screens, it is always welcome.

Since I was doing tankable stuff I decided to have a little fun. Seems the marine life mostly miss out on Halloween so I made a tankable pumpkin. http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/index.php?topic=5204.0

All of the Mexican food stands are finished and ready for release. Just waiting on a lang file update to get published that they depend on, but they'll be on ZooBerry soon! Moving on to finishing my other projects. I was working on a Backstage Megapack and I think I've learned a lot from the food stands how to match the artstyle with the game a bit better, so I'll be redoing all of the renders before release. Here are the final animal transport vehicle graphics:

Hello all! Sorry I haven't been as active as I was on here. I was going through a heart monitor study for SVT (arrythmia) and I also had some other personal life things going on outside of ZT1. I am going to put the new bird zoo on the back burner for now (it's not cancelled!) and hold off on making more zoos until Hawkeye's Australian bird pack is released (super excited about this one). I have completed two zoos recently, one being the Surf 'N' Turf scenario (this one was fun to build!) and one that is themed off of the Pacific Northwest using the Marine Mania 'Islands' map. I'm also planning on making an African and Australian themed zoo in the future using a majority of my African and Australian savannah animals. Even though I already made a smaller African savannah zoo before, I really want to try out the 'Ancient Land's' zoo map and build the ultimate African/Australian hybrid zoo. I feel like my zoo building skills are starting to improve. I've been watching The Checkered Cheetah's/Thunder 55's videos on YouTube to get inspiration and I felt like I've gotten the hang of building amazing yet efficient zoos. 😊❤️5 points

That most recent echibit will be home to @Zarawatto 's Nyctosaurus. I have much decorating to do with neutral foliage to make the exhibit look lush and "lived in," but so far they are very easy to make happy. Some other shots I'm quite proud of:

You have hit on something modders have been thinking about for many years, and actually something I personally have been thinking about very recently. For a long time, I've really wanted a similar water texture to what you describe, and I was recently experimenting with the limits of what we know about the game terrain. So far, it has not been cracked in 25 years. The game handles the terrain textures in a complex way. People experimenting with it have figured out how to change the graphics for the terrain blending edges (the part that blends between different terrain when you have terrain blending on), it turns out that's actually somewhat straightforward. ^ An example of me experimenting recently with new placeholder textures for the fresh and saltwater terrain edges. This just involves replacing a couple of .tga images in the game's terrain.ztd file. But it behaves in a non-intuitive way, and it's limited only to certain tiles that blend with what's next to them. When you put more of the same terrain down, it reverts to its standard terrain texture, which is handled by a different part of the game's code. This makes it not really very useful for any modding. So far, none of us have found a way to make sense of the game's internal content in a way that lets us work with the terrain textures directly. We know where the relevant file folders are, but there are many thousands of files associated with each terrain and we don't know what many of them do or how to edit them. It's possible this may one day be solved, but currently the mod you (and I) are looking for isn't possible yet. There is a team currently working on decoding and rewriting/re-implementing ZT1's entire source code as part of a project called OpenZT, like the OpenRCT2 project has done for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. There is quite a long path ahead of them, but this is a good example of the kind of modding of core game elements that could be enabled with the potential new engine. So, perhaps that's something to look forward to in the future. Or, maybe one of us will figure out a way to make sense of those many thousands of mystery files that handle the game's terrain textures. In the meantime, have you seen the Natural Freshwater palette edit by Serpyderpy? It only applies to tanks, of course. I think she was the first to release an edited palette of the tank water. I've followed her lead and experimented with editing the palettes of saltwater as well, which I should be sharing soon. Welcome, by the way! We have many resources compiled here over the years for learning to create mods for ZT1, always feel free to ask and search.4 points

I've been wondering for a while, if it is possible to build a natural history museum in Zoo Tycoon. So I gave it a try.

Another update, Jay and Fern have bestowed me some knowledge on doing override lang files safely (and Jay also took the time to trim down v1.0 for me). v1.1 is now hosted separately from the pack and renamed so that it might be extended by the community in the future. If you had downloaded the lang as part of the pack bundle previously, I highly recommend that you delete the old lang to grab this one.4 points

Decorative Flowerbed Fences Pack by Zootan This pack contains a collection of 42 decorative fences in Zootan's "flowerbed" style. Also included are files of the low hedge fence and the sand wall with images that overwrite the originals so that they fit in with the "flowerbed" style. These 2 files are not included in the combined .ztd file. If you don't want these to be changed, do not include them. Please click on the picture to see the full screenshot. The downloadable file contains a combined .ztd file, a folder of individual .ztd files (singles), a folder of the low hedge fence and the sand wall (along with before and after screenshots) and a folder of fence images (pictures). (If you use the combined file, you do not need the individual files.) Enjoy!4 points -

A zoo featuring animals that lived in the famous Hell Creek Formation, 66 million years ago. Next to the entrance are a photo area where visitors can pose with an Acheroraptor and a playground on the opposite side. The gift shop is themed after Montana fossil sites. One of the first exhibits that greet visitors are the gentle and adorable Thescelosaurus. Next to them is a building that houses smaller Hell Creek fossil fauna, including an aviary for the pterosaur Infernodrakon. Right across from the Thescelosaurus exhibit is the mighty Tyrannosaurus. Next on the tour is Ankylosaurus. Right across from this Cretaceous tank is another icon of its time, the Triceratops. Triceratops isn't the only Ceratopsian here, there is also Torosaurus. Pachycephalosaurus completes the Marginocephalian trio. Across from this area is an exhibit for Ornithomimus. And the Ornithomimus enclosure is surrounded by an observation area for the Edmontosaurus enclosure. And behind this you'll find the mosasaur exhibit.

I found this effect by accident last night. I basically was putting algae from here over water and didn't realize I had a block of aquatic ground mix from this pack underneath it. I decided to play around to see what the other ground cover paths look like with it and found some cool effects. Here's some of the ones I've tested that I like. The other pics are it in use with rainforest restroom/attractions areas.

Working hard on the backstage props pack and have finished several already. It's actually enjoyable because I don't have to worry about animating anything. I haven't shared everything here so I'll leave some for surprises on release. One thing I wanted to do though was make these idle stacked animal crates so you can stage an area that looks like it's where they prep these crates, but I didn't want to use the sprites from the game because I wanted the shadows to look right when they're stacked. So I modeled one: Here it is rendered: Close enough I think lol. Happy to hear suggestions for backstage props you'd like to see. These are fun to make.4 points

Well I have finally done it. DD now has lists of all Hawkkeye critters up to December 2025. This should help people find a file. The lists are pinned at the top of each category. It includes the name, uca, ztd name, Habitat, and country. And in the categories I have grouped the types together. So all the dogs are together, all the foxes are together, etc Example: Armadillo Brazilian Three-Banded Armadillo hwbtbarm.uca brazilian three banded armadillo.ztd Desert South America Nine-Banded Armadillo hwnbarm.uca ninebanded armadillo.ZTD Grassland Eastern USA Northern Naked-Tailed Armadillo hwnntarm.uca northern naked tailed armadillo.ztd Rainforest South America4 points

Hello! I bought Zoo Tycoon 1 in Circuit City around the time it came out in early 2002 (I've never forgotten saving my allowance up for the $32) and I've been hooked ever since playing it on and off over the years! I still play 1 and 2 using my scratched up but still working perfect disks. I only thought to look for ZT2 mods in 2025, and then ZT1 mods this year and found this site. Looking forward to adding new things to my favorite game!4 points

For those that may not know, gem_del_mar (Gem, Brenda Gibson) was once an active member here at Tek. She was my "partner in crime" for several years. She and her dad live in Landers, California. They are both in the hospital right now. A few days ago, their house caught fire and burnt to the ground. They evacuated but suffered some burns but we don't yet know to what extent. When Brandi or I find out more, we'll keep you updated. If you are a prayer warrior, please say a prayer for them for quick healing.4 points
