Help with dlver downloads
« on: November 03, 2006, 02:07:01 PM »
Hey Folks,

Can someone offer an explanation as to what I'm doing wrong?
Can't get the following to work:

dlver-autumn-restaurant-revised.zip
dlver-clover-machine-.zip
dlver-elevated-path-desert.zip
dlver-elevated-path-safari.zip
dlver-elevated-tree-path-pack.zip
dlver-enlarged-desert-fountain.zip
dlver-flowerbed-pack.zip
dlver-foliage-pack.zip
dlver-glitter-shower.zip
dlver-lemonade-stand-.zip
dlver-penguin-jeep-.zip
dlver-water-jet-.zip
dlver-zoo-admin-anniversary-statue.zip

For most, all I get is a tiny shrub.  Notable exceptions being
the resturant, that results in a vendor in front of what seems
to be a cooking area; and the lemonade stand, that results in
a vendor in front of a (comparatively) huge cup of lemonade,
that's half-buried.  It's also puzzling that the Anniversary
bench works but the Anniversary Statue crahes ZT2.

Thought that none of these required an EP, so I'm at a loss in
that respect.  Also pretty sure I got them from ZT2 downloads;
though checking (a couple of) the .DLs, they ascribe
"...version="1.0".

I'm running vanilla ZT2 (v20.11.00.0007), and placing them in
the ...\Downloads directory.  If it offers any insight, been
able to get these to work:

dlver-anniversary-bench.zip
dlver-chrome-path-.zip
dlver-durian-tree-.zip
dlver-halloween-resturant.zip
dlver-invisible-fence.zip
dlver-world-map-.zip
dlver-zoo-admin-anniversary-table.zip
dlver-zoo-admin-cafe.zip

Any suggestions???


Thanx,
BobM.

most of these require ES to work as stated on the downlaods informatin page in the anniversary topics.
http://zoo.ogresnet.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=113
also on the downlaods informatin pages found
http://zoo.ogresnet.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=49
again more specific information is found and again they all require Eps to work.

RedNotDead,

Thanks for the clarification.  Another question, if I might...

When I DL'd these, I accessed them via a ZT2 Downloads link (Zoo Admin Forums > Downloads>Category [X]), and have never seen the information pages.  What I got was a page with a dialog showing : File, Author, Date Added, Downloads, Grade, Description, and Images (e.g. http://zoo.ogresnet.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=354).  While some of the descriptions indicate a need for a particular expansion pack(s), most (including those in my query) do not.

Is there some way to access the information page(s) from the Cat/ID pages?


Much thanx,
BobM

I think they expect us to know that if it's a Jeep, it will require ES to work. It is for ES and it does require it to work. :original:

Basically everything needs ES to work except for Tomcat's non-es animals. This is because with ES everything got totally changed which makes the game run much better and the animals have much better ai. Of course some things may work ok, but animals for instance will not have any shelters or enrichment and object models will not work.

Thanks csleesburg and penguinman.  Off to do some more digging...

Finally figured out what an MM and a DD is, time for this Noob to find out what an ES is, and whether I want to get one (or uninstall this and stick with ZT).

Sorry, we just assume (wrongfully) that everyone knows the abbreviations. :blushing:

ES = Endangered Species
AA = African Adventures
DD = Dino Danger
MM2 = Marine Mania 2

ai = artificial intelligence
