Title: stegosaurus underwater?
Post by: jakeeh11 on July 22, 2006, 08:00:20 PM: I made a zoo, and in the show exhibit for the Dolphins, appears a STEGOSAURUS! I'm like WHAAA!?!?!?!?!??! :sign_omg: So, any clue what happened?
P.S. I have the Dr. Frankenstein cheat on.
P.S.S. I have a picture. http://img136.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stegosa2.png

EDIT: P.S.S.S. THIS IS NOT AN EDIT!
P.S.S.S.S. It wasn't born or had an egg appear. A full grown adult just appeared!
P.S.S.S.S.S. This happened before. A kentosaurus appeared in the orca cage. I fed it to the Spinosaurus'. I have 7 of them.

Post by: LadyZookeeperNY on July 23, 2006, 06:06:50 AM: In all the years I've been playing ZT1, I have NEVER seen anything like that happen before-to my zoos or anyone else's! That's just crazy :wacko: and I have no idea what else you may have in your game that would cause this to happen. I don't have the dippy doctor hack, but my guess would be that it's acting a little weird with something else in your game. :blink: Maybe Yellowrose will be able to shed some light on this later today.

Post by: pikapower704 on July 24, 2006, 07:33:50 AM: Im guessing its a glitch. Do you have a stegasaurus exhibit next to the tank? Thats my guess....mabey the steg ran into the glass and was stuck? How does he breath?
Title: stegosaurus underwater?
Post by: jakeeh11 on July 24, 2006, 09:31:42 AM: Only three exhibits. 2 Orcas with a show case, 9 or some dolphins with a show case, 7-8 Spinosaurus' and, apparantly, one gilled Stegosaurus. He breathes fine, but no food and can't move. Next time I play, I'm getting him his own exhibit. Then recording all strange things it does.

Post by: dinoman1 on July 24, 2006, 10:15:42 AM: i heard on this one site ( i forget the name) that if you name a tank supercroc dinosaurs start apearing in the tank.

Post by: KookyKoopa12 on July 24, 2006, 11:20:26 AM: No no NO! If you name a DINOSAUR EXHIBIT Supercroc, Deinosuchus will become available for adoption.

Post by: horse23 on July 25, 2006, 04:29:23 PM: You people are starting to confuse me.

What version do you have? MM or CC? If you have MM, Ill look into it. Underwater dinos would be awesome!

Post by: jakeeh11 on July 26, 2006, 07:38:39 AM: horse, CC. And, no it wouldn't. They can't eat or move.

MM's zoo.exe is the same as CC's zoo.exe (game engine is the same, so same glitches as I can garantuee that the official downloads don't cause any conflicts)

Post by: horse23 on July 29, 2006, 08:51:14 AM: Huh. My only suggestion would be to turn the Dr. Frankenstien cheat off.

Post by: Fuzzy on August 11, 2006, 03:59:01 PM: Have you tried selling the dino? (Though you may not want to so someone can look at it) Try doing the same set up in a different map, if it appears again my guess is it's a glitch, a really big, weird glitch.
PS have you checked for scratches on the disk? I don't see how that would cause this, but I think with meraculously appearing dinos, anything is possible...?
Title: Very Strange!
Post by: ilovesimgolf on August 11, 2006, 07:27:01 PM: :surprise: Wow! :surprise: :surprise: :sign_wow:

I've never heard of this. I did have a Lion's Mane Jellyfish tank next to the zoo wall and I had it really sunk down deep. The tank appeared on the otherside of the wall! But can you get information on this dino, or is he just appearing there and giving you messages. I recommend checking any used downloads.

I agree that this is weird :surprise: ,

Post by: ztrocks on August 15, 2006, 07:23:40 PM: Maybe it's a ghost stegosaurus! Just kidding! That's cool but really wierd! Did the dino disappear afterwards?

Post by: Ljb107 on August 16, 2006, 10:46:05 AM: Maybe the graphics went funny
Title: stegosaurus underwater?
Post by: jakeeh11 on August 16, 2006, 10:49:14 AM: I don't have any user downloads, or any downloads at that. At, its not graphics. Theres a real dinosaur living there.

Post by: Prokaryote on August 24, 2006, 05:26:33 PM: I bet you have a Stegosaurus that's caught in between evolving from amphibian life to land; hence, gills. : :P :

Post by: Zirconia Wolf on August 27, 2006, 08:58:13 AM: In all my years of playing ZT1, that is by far the funniest screen shot I have EVER seen posted!

Just to toss my 2 cents into the pool, I must side with the "It Must Have Something To Do With The Dr. Frankenstein Cheat" line of thought. For some reason, that 10% chance of a "species change" must work on Marine animals every once in a while too....but it's very odd that no one has ever reported this before.

Hey, lucky you! You're a trend setter!

Post by: spiderdraco on November 26, 2006, 12:32:30 PM: Dude, iÂ´ve never seen something like this before.
I donÂ´t think itÂ´s an edited image...perhaps itÂ´s just a game bug like the ghost animals that sometimes appear (sometimes with arctic wolves, if one dies, the animal keeps appearing even after the game says itÂ´s dead) or the disappearing puma.
You should post your zoo for download!!!

Post by: jakeeh11 on November 26, 2006, 03:28:06 PM: Sad news. My computer crashed. And when it started to work again, all my games were uninstalled. all the Zoo Tycoons= gone. I'll report if this ever happens again.

Post by: gubgub1234 on December 18, 2006, 10:26:39 AM: What happened to the stegosaurus? Did you try draining th tank?
Title: stegosaurus underwater?
Post by: Bep-Boi on December 19, 2006, 03:16:10 AM: It is NOT a glitch. Every time i turn on the frankenstein cheat this happens. The most recent one that happened was my giant squid turning into a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Title: stegosaurus underwater?
Post by: Cuddly Panda on December 21, 2006, 08:57:06 PM: I have to say that's very weird. Very, very weird. Kind of cool, though, but still weird. I remember penguinman posting a topic on this a while back, and finally the mystery is solved! :report:
Title: stegosaurus underwater?
Post by: Artemis on December 21, 2006, 09:37:19 PM: This happened to me as well (see my thread (http://zoo.ogresnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4372)). I had the Frankenstein cheat on too, so that must be the cause, eh?
Title: Good News!
Post by: jakeeh11 on December 23, 2006, 08:21:05 AM: I found out the problem! I tried the Dr. Frank dude cheat at a different zoo, and I got over 50 dinos that way. Only 1 or 2 were in tanks, but it happened. :specool: So, problem solved. Or created:badgnome:
Title: stegosaurus underwater?
Post by: jakeeh11 on December 23, 2006, 08:24:54 AM: I found the problem. I tried a zoo with the dr cheat, and I have over 50 dinos now. I bought: 0. One more problem solves! Or created ;)
Title: Re: stegosaurus underwater?
Post by: Oryxanger on March 24, 2007, 02:40:15 PM: yeah, but this thing happened to me too. except, frankenstein seems to also have a delayed effect. Once, I had a stego turn into a triceratops. A FULL GROWN STEGO!!!!!! It freaked me out.
Title: Re: stegosaurus underwater?
Post by: pettamapossum on April 05, 2007, 04:54:34 PM: Whoaaa!!! Well, I've had lots of animals swim on dry land, but this is new to me. :eggblink I know downloaded animals often have those kind of glitches due to mess ups in the animation. My baby king snake turns into a bison every now and then. But those are just normal animals.

Post by: mario/6 on April 07, 2007, 10:22:30 AM: SWEET! I'm going to do that to day! :egggrin But still that is kind of wierd. :eggblink :eggblink :faint :faint
