[Eragon845]

Ok,please don't hurt me!! I just don't know how to install,then use Zt2 downloads. Can someone tell me??

The easiest way is to unzip them and put the .z2f files in your main Zoo Tycoon 2 directory, usually

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2

Ok then Is it known if there are limits to what the game can handle?

I'd only keep the downloads you use and like the most and get rid of the ones you don't use. You can never go wrong that way! :vishenka_34:

You can also pack multiple downloads in a single file. I could write a small tutorial on that, if necessary.

Now that would be so convenient Xerxes. Please do!

1) Pick the .z2f files of the downloads you want to bring into a single pack.

2) Place them in a separate map.

3) Change the .z2f extensions to .zip

4) Unpack the .zip files

5) you should see at least 4 maps (ai, entities, ui ,lang) and possibly more. Make sure all downloads are unpacked. Remove the zip files once unpacked.

6) Select all the maps, right click and "add to archive" , make sure you make a .zip archive. Name the archive. It's possible to make a .z2f right away in the add to archive window. You can also make a .zip file and change it to .z2f afterwards.

7) Place in the appropriate zt2 map.

 

I hope this is clear. If not, I will make a picture tutorial.
