Ape 2 is only a guide that tells you how to make an animal for ZT2.  You must have downloaded version 2.0 for Ape 1 by mistake.

when I meant the origalnal zoo tycoon I meant zoo tycoon 2sorry for not clairifing it well enough

Nope. Sorry, Wolfclan, but he's downloaded the correct program. APE II is just for ZT2. And, Mr.Gibbons, she is correct - it is only an html guide, not a program. And, it does only cover the original ZT2 animals. BUT - it can easily be adapted for ES and AA animals.

Where it says to 'get the dds files', you just have to get them from the correct places (like for AA they're located in x110_000. For ES they're in x100_000. You can change scale in both/either the ai and bfm files (it'll explain it all to you), so Yes, you could make a monitor the size of a Nile croc.

But, since you're fairly new, we Designers suggest you try with variant skins before you try making an animal. (It's not as easy as you'd think). :laughing:

Thank you also I have another question is there a map making utility (for zoo tycoon 2) and if so where would one be???

[csleesburg]

Nope, sorry, but they never gave us that ability, and no one has been able to figure it out. : :  Can't make new scenarios, either.
