Rather than change one that has already been released or people have already grabbed from this thread, give it a new uca id (and maybe add a number to the cName) and let there be two so people can chose. Otherwise it will become confusing for people as to which version they might have. Especially when most were uploaded in combined files in this thread.

 

Have downloaded: lar gibbon.ztd,  mullers gibbon.ztd, Northern white-cheeked gibbon.ztd,  siamang.ztd,  hawkkeyes reject humanity become monke pack gibbons.ztd, grass carp.ZTD, hawkkeyes aquarium east asia.ZTD

I corrected the good boys, grammar mistakes and integers change. Now I finally now why I am not able to make animal with different list icons for male and female. I wouldn´t touch the animations when it works, even when there are some redundant ones. For now, I do not know how to make behaviour, so I use animals of other people (or ingame animals, in this case one of Dr. Rick´s canids) as a base. Maybe in the future I will be able to make use of them.

For highjump, I mostly use run animation. I cannot change of the size of rendered area in Blender, so generally jumping animations end as cut in half in the highest point of jump. I left highjump line there, but if you want, it can be deleted without problems.

I tend to agree with this.  If the animal has already been released, it would make more sense to create another animal with new IDs then change your compatibility.  That way, it will be up to the users to decide which version they care to use. 

I do not agree with this. If someone wants more versions of one animal in ZT, I think this can be done by themselves (maybe short renaming tutorial would be in order, change of ID takes few minutes at worst). New compatibility, same as when I change animations because of bug (for example when I changed nyala´s animations because of leg problem during lying animations, or when I change used model for better looking one), or when I correct a bug, is just a change. Same animal, but new, improved (I hope) version. You can use the old one, if you want (Fern wrote that she wants to release my old gazelle models, because she likes both old and new ones, and I have no problem with that - she can do that also with my kouprey, if she wants, or with my lesser kudu, where I changed model for Tamara Henson´s, better looking, unreleased yet).

I plan to support my animals, and correct mistakes and errors as I go, with possible improvements, for example when I figure out how to use good-looking model I couldn´t use before, or when I see a possibility for interesting mixed exhibit that wasn´t there when I made the animal.

My Google drive is long overdue, but I will eventually get to it and release new versions of animals both here and there.

Small desert pack, I think especially Mjmannella will like it.

 

Animals:

Desert Tortoise, Greater Roadrunner, Black-Tailed Jackrabbit

 

All compatible together.

Enjoy!

 

PS: I hope no-one´s angry because I have different opinion about releasing animals. I think while it is more difficult for uploaders (and for me), continuous support results in overall better quality of content, with possibility of future improvements.

PS: Do you want me to spare some time and write little renaming and compatibility change tutorial? It is easy to change, it takes few minutes, you only need winrar/winzip, or some similar program, and you will be able to make exhibits according to your wish.

I don't mind you upgrading animations but the habitat suitability changes bother me.

The thing about either is that the original animal will no longer work in a saved game. Okay with an animation change you can just re-add an animal but with a stat/habitat change the player has to redesign their exhibit. Which is why I suggested for the latter one you create a new uca id then those that are happy with what they have can have either or both.

I am actually taking a bit of time trying to catch up on a few of my own things and files for other people.

You can write one if you like but keep in mind there are a lot of people who play who still can't create a combined file or separate one. And it is very easy to mess something up in a file if you are not used to working with them.

 

Have downloaded: hawkkeyes desert pack.ztd

Reworked lesser kudu, made of Tamara Henson´s model.

Here with Grévy´s zebras, Soemmering´s gazelles and Abyssinian ground hornbills.

 

EDIT: and new hirola. I made it smaller (so it is not bigger than other alcelaphines, hirola is the smallest of them), and increased the size of its horns, so now they are better visible. Hirola´s horns are quite conspicous on live animals.

 

Enjoy!

 

EDIT2: I found pic of absolutely beautiful oriental pied hornbill for ZT2. Don´t anyone know where to find it? Here is the thread with pic: https://thezt2roundtable.com/pokeruto-ingame-pic-s-t11367-s60.html

I hope you like making ponds as much as me.

 

North American marsh pack.

 

Animals:

American Avocet, Cayuga Duck, Green-Winged Teal, American Bittern,

Canada Goose, Common Loon, Trumpeter Swan

 

All compatible with my Whooping Crane.

Enjoy!

Oh, funny. I was just thinking of Canada geese. I recognized it right off as one. Nice. Thank you.

Finally, you can pretend that animals sold in your zoo will end as a fur coats for some rich ladies. You´re welcome.

 

Animals:

African Striped Weasel, Lesser Grison, European Polecat, Beech Marten, Pine Marten, Malayan Weasel, Marbled Polecat, Stoat

 

Enjoy!

 

And I have (big) news! I was able to make my own google drive. Of course, it was quicker and easier than I had thought it´d be. I´ve uploaded there all my animals, newest versions. If something is missing, let me know.

There is no difference between animals uploaded here and on my google drive, except that I changed lifespan and dirty increment (only in water animals) for older animals according to formula I use now.

If there is any problem to access google drive, or something else, let me know.

I actually do like to run a farm rather than a zoo sometimes. Do they breed like crazy? Could I turn a handsome profit selling offspring?

Absolutely. Except striped weasel, marbled polecat and lesser grison, these are a little trickier to breed. Rest are totally exploitable, with low requirements for environment and space. Combine with my raccoon dog and some foxes, and profit is guaranteed.

 

PS: if you like to have a farm, wait for next (and probably also last) part of my ungulates. Suffolk sheep, Exmoor pony, Akhal teke, alpaca, and more domestic ungulates are to come.

[Truly_happy]

Well ... by "farm", I don't quite mean domesticated stock. My first farm was one huge rat exhibit. Yes ... rats. This rat had EIGHT babies at a time and bred so often it was crazy. Before I knew it, I had over a thousand animals and poo was everywhere! Those critters were so angry by then that they seemed ready to kill. Worst zoo I ever had. But it was something, alright!

 

Weasles seem nicer, at any rate. Keep up the good work.
