Title: Zt2 Designing Center
Post by: penguinman on December 15, 2005, 06:00:51 PM: Hello everyone!

Gibbon Fanatic and I are happy to announce the opening of Zoo Tycoon 2 Designing Center. Head on over through this link: http://s14.invisionfree.com/ZT2_Designing_Center/ (http://s14.invisionfree.com/ZT2_Designing_Center/)

It is a site dedicated for making animals and stuff for ZT2. There are many forums and topics just for creation help, so Gibbon Fanatic and I will be big helpers to anyone who needs it. There are also great topics to request animals, even if you can't make them yourself. Obviously the holiday season will make things move a little slower, but once it is over there will be some great stuff for download too!
We would love to help you! Head on over! :)

Post by: csleesburg on December 15, 2005, 06:37:26 PM: I just visited your site and it looks really nice! :) I have only one question, and one suggestion.

Question: Is this known/okay with the ZA Admins? Does it mean you're not going to be HERE anymore? (guess that's 2 questions, isn't it)?

Suggestion: either lighten up the background or make the text lighter. From my graphics experience I know that dark against dark is VERY difficult to see (I had great trouble with it myself). Maybe beige or yellow text? Or a lighter background colour?

If this site is okay with ZA Admins, I would love to join your site and get some help teaching myself to edit/recolor. :whistle

Post by: penguinman on December 15, 2005, 08:55:05 PM: I don't know if ZA approves of it, but I will for sure be around here a lot too. Its just a place where we can do zt2 designing without cloging up too much of the forums here. ;). I will look into a new background. Thanks! :)

Title: Zt2 Designing Center
Post by: mikaboshi on May 22, 2006, 10:11:53 PM: aww...I went to download the Red Fox after reading about it in brownwolf's project thread, and I can't because ZT2 Designing Center has reached their bandwidth limit at fileupyours.com :(
Title: Zt2 Designing Center
Post by: penguinman on July 05, 2006, 08:10:17 PM: We have a few updates...
First off, we have a new host site and the downloads are getting transfered so soon everything will finally be downloadable.

Second, we will no longer have any member-only downloads. Our site is very specified to designers so it is silly to make non-designers join just for the downloads. Feel free to join if you wish, but now you don't have to do access the downloads.

Finally, for those who do decide to join we have a new screenshot contest staring! Enjoy!
Title: Zt2 Designing Center
Post by: penguinman on August 01, 2006, 08:29:29 PM: Starting today and lasting until August 14th we will be having our second skin an animal contest! The full rules and description can be found at the site, but every skin that enters will get coded by me. Now is your chance to get your skin coded and display your talent!

Title: Zt2 Designing Center
Post by: penguinman on September 16, 2006, 07:10:11 PM: We're extending the contest for a while due to people being busy. If you have a skin and would like to get it coded, head on over and enter in the skin an animal contest! :original:

On top of that we have a new goodies section with banners and wallpapers that you can use, and a new rule allowing for some sig pics. If you have ANY ZT2 designing questions, feel free to hop on over and we'd be happy to help.
