fountain Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 So, I used Map Editor for the first time yesterday carefully following the instructions when I ran up against a "I haven't the foggiest idea?!" You're suppose to put in a new gate-- Ah-h-h... Where do I find the enterance gate? Am I using the right type of walls? Do I have the right developers items? (I have MM items, but do I need others????) Editing Lunar Map is on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukkie Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 you find it in the scenery menu Fountain also the different kind of zoowalls are in there just don't scroll down too fast as they are easily overlooked but all items are in the scenery menu.

fountain Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Well, not quite. I realized I no longer had the necessary developers item files anymore so that is part of the difficulty. I have just found a related and informative thread "Is there a way to alter a Scenario map to be Freeform?" and links to the needed files in #17 by Fern. I will restudy those posts and when I add it, that should put it in the menu as Pukkie advises. More to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you post a link, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePengwyn Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 If you are using ZooAdminMapEditor.ztd, all the developer items should have a yellow background, and $0 cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you post a link, please? http://zootekphoenix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5553 It is entry #17 that has the info and links to the developers items that you pay for (a couple items are silly-expensive) to use and have aesthetic value for guests. Those you can add to any game w/o causing problems. (Link removed. Site no longer exists.) If you use the Map Editor, then you have to be careful because... well my experience is that when I put in a gate and then realized I forgot to remove part of the original wall in what is now the middle of the zoo, so I had to save, close the game, restart the game and then remove the wall. ...It can get complicated. Save often. (Save the original map first, before changing it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it, so I have both ways of adding certain items. Cautious steps to making changes :185: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
