PANDA Loader

[Goosifer]

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:

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.

Can't believe I've been working on this for a year lol. Here's another teaser. Development is moving pretty quickly now.

Looking for Testers

 

The OpenZT project will soon be releasing regular pre-alpha builds of the PANDA mod loader and OpenZT itself. We're looking for testers with Windows 10 or 11 to help stress test features and report bugs. Your feedback will help us:

• ensure our builds work seamlessly for everyone when we fully release later this Spring
• improve our documentation to address new user concerns
• establish a feedback loop to shape future releases

I will be posting an announcement in the upcoming week with more details in the OpenZT server. If this sounds interesting to you, please join our Discord!:
