Firehawke's Zoos!!!
« on: January 21, 2005, 08:54:44 PM »
Okay, it's time for the good news, bad news game.
First, the bad news.  Almost a week ago, my computer died.  Okay, technically it fried.  Some electrical problem or something.  I lost everything, including all of the zoos I was working on.

Good news...I have a new computer.  And I was able to put ZTCC back on and build.  Some of you might remember that I was starting to go through the scenerios again.  Well, I'm doing that again.

More bad news...Since the new school semester has started, I might not have tons of time to play right now.

More good news...I'll try to play when I can.

Crazy news...The default screen resolution is very different than on my old computer.  I'm having to get used to a 1024 x 768 res. when I was used to a 800 x 600 res.  ZT is bigger and clearer than ever!!!  But, my eyes are still trying to get used to it.  :rolleyes:

Well, I've had time to get through the first scenerio!  I only have 1 pic, though.  I didn't right down the stats, either, but I had more benefactors than employees.  Enjoy the pic!!!

Time for some more good news/bad news.
The bad news is that I still don't have enough RAM to play ZT2.  I have 248MB and the system requirement is 256MB (oh, so close!) :(
The good news is that once things are fixed so that files can be uploaded again, I will be submitting my scenerios (well, once I get them done and only if their already under the filesize maximum; my new comp doesn't compress zoo files just like my old one).

I'm sorry to hear that your old puter went to Computer Heaven. I'm sure that, in time, you and your new computer will come to certain agreements and it will take good care of your ZT game and files!  :P  I'm looking forward to seeing some pics from your scenarios-you've gotten me doing some of them too (silly girl!   :lol: )  

Keep Building!  :wub:

Looks really cool! I'm glad your topic is back!  :D

Oh, BTW, you shouldn't be upset that ZT2 doesn't work on your computer. It got really boring very quickly. I'm so dissapointed by that game, I think I'll give it away.  <_<

Firehawk,

Something for you to think about....did the electrical problem affect the hard drive in the old system ?? if not there is a program called drive copy for one and others as well that will allow you to copy the contents of one drive to another or you could install the old drive in the new system and delete the OS and have all that extra storage space and still have access to all your files for ZT on the old drive.

Thanks guys!

@LadyZ---The scenerios definetly have a different feel to them than the freeform games.  I just have to remind myself that I don't have as much money to start off with as I prefer  :rolleyes:

@Xtreme---Thanks for letting me know!  Glad to know that you're still going to visit my topic!

@Yellowrose---Thanks for the info, but I'm pretty sure it affected my hard drive.  Shortly before it died, there was a sudden drop in the amount of memory being used.  And once the comp. appeared to be powered up enough to send images to the monitor, the monitor would still be blank.  It's crazy! :wacko:


Well, I had time to complete the second scenerio (the Seasideville Zoo).  I recorded some stats.  I saved the zoo on Apr. 20th.  There were 167 guests, 4 benefactors, and 3 of each of the following: Camel, Gemsbok, Zebra, Leopard, and American Bison.  ZR was 85, AH was 98, and GH was 96.  And, I took more pics!

Here's the camel...

Thanks guys!!!  Well, I've completed a couple more scenerios, but since I'm on campus, I can't post the pics right now.  But, I am now through the regular ZT beginners level scenerios.  Keep your eyes open for pics!

Thanks CT and LadyZ!!!  I  might be able to post some pics tonight.  They aren't up to my usual standard, just because I'm working on scenerios and I'm trying not to delete a lot of stuff that was originally there.  Crazy, I know. LOL  I'm almost through the beginner level scenerios!  I'll try to get pics up within the next 36 hours.  Thanks for waiting!

Looks wonderful, Firehawke, as always!  :D I should try to fix ZT1, because from all these screenshots I see of it, I want it back!  :D
