partywolf Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Soo I got a new zoo tycoon, but I discovered that some animals I had before and some extras (like the mexican pack and the atlantean and some animals like the african wild dog and the horse and the yeti, etc) so I went and downloaded them and some other stuff that was released by Blue Fang a while ago, but I cannot figure out where they go, like, in the Updates folder (for official bonus items) or in the main folder or what? So I was wondering if someone who has Complete Collection find these files on their computer and tell me where I should put them? like, on their computer what folder they're in? lol there are so many darn folders in the Zoo Tycoon... like AquaRes and xPack1 and gee, I hope that's not just for mine. config5.ztd global07.ztd guests7.ztd items8.ztd object07.ztd scenari8.ztd scenery8.ztd aaaand I'm assuming these just go in the Updates folder? Asian_Elephant01.ztd magnet01.ztd plateo01.ztd animalsa.ztd antelope.ztd aqtheme1.ztd Asian_Black_Bear.ztd baracuda.ztd Blackbuck.ztd bongo.ztd fancybld.ztd gallim.ztd yeti.ztd kidsdino.ztd llama.ztd magnet.ztd megathrm.ztd mexipack.ztd mountainlion.ztd plateo.ztd reindeer.ztd researm.ztd wilddog.ztd like, the buildings n animals and stuff are all IN game but I'm not really sure if they function correctly, and there isn't any description for them like there should be so I know I did something wrong :P also I found this folder and I dont know if it goes somewhere :JC_see_stars: folder: CVS stuff inside: Entries Entries.Extra Repository Root ^^ is that something important? o.O yaaay thanks guys. i hope that made sense.

partywolf Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yes! Thanks pukkie! Unfortunately some objects still have no description, which means I probably didn't put them in right, and I think it has something to do with the lang folders that came with some of the downloads. where do you think I would put them? In the zoo data folder? I'm going to try moving them around, but here are the lang files lang007.dll lang009.dll lang302.dll lang008.dll lang015.dll lang017.dll lang301.dll lang016.dll lang018.dll lang010.dll lang012.dll also when I put the items in that don't have a description, their names become some random symbols, I can't copy and paste them though :/ so yeah something's wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashea Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Partywolf - the language files all go into your main Zoo Tycoon Folder - if they are missing , that may be part of your problem with the descriptions. I am not able to find these files either - I have complete collection loaded. global07.ztd items8.ztd object07.ztd scenari8.ztd scenery8.ztd Mexipack.ztd I did find this: antelope.ztd - Updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partywolf Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I tried that too :/ still not working right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashea Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 my language files only go up to 300 - I do not have lang302.dll lang301.dll Why don't you try taking these two out and see what happens? Did you re-install from a Complete Collection disk ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partywolf Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 There doesn't seem to be a change in the animals or buildings when I remove/move the .dlls I reinstalled the original and the complete collection - I played it without complete collection, then I installed it and there were dinosaurs and marine animals so it did install :/ So weeird, I dont know why they aren't working.

Fern Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Are you a member of ZKL or DD? If so you could try contacting Jay. I suspect those two dlls might be something to do with Mac but without seeing them I would not know. Meanwhile I have sent a copy to Jay but do not know if he can help since he has Linux and Windows.

Fern Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 From Jay I do not understand what the person is doing. If they have Complete Collection, then there is no reason for them to download official downloads. But if they have Marine Mania instead of Complete Collection, that is when one would want to download official downloads. There are differences in file names between the Complete Collection and the official downloads, specifically for the Endangered Species Pack download. Also the llama download uses different IDs than the one that comes with Complete Collection. But all official ".ztd" downloads should be in the Updates folder. The list of ".dll" files at DG includes all of the official ".dll" files and what they are for. The ".dll" files contain the messages for the official things and would go in the main ZT folder. http://www.ztcdd.org/DG/index.php?topic=4408.0 Although there are no instructions saying so, those who do not have Complete Collection but have the Endangered Species Pack download should create a dlupdate folder and edit their zoo.ini file to use the dlupdate folder. That way user made things, especially hacks, can be put in that folder. But if the person actually has Complete Collection, and if it is a legitimate version, then they should not be using downloaded official downloads. If things are not working correctly after installing from a legitimate Complete Collection disk, then it sounds like they need a replacement disk. - Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partywolf Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I installed the original ZT and then installed the CC disk I had from before, and there were the marine animals and the dinosaurs but none of the official downloads so I trackd those down, but they don't seen to be working right. :/ I'll try moving them around more and thank you for the list, Jay and thanks for asking him about it Fern. I guess I do need a replacement CC disk, but the problem with that is that there are almost no more mac ZTs anywhere.I'll try with these a few more times and if they really dont seem to be working I'll just remove them and try and find another CC disk. Thanks for the help tho guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
