I have recently downloaded the VAT from this website and it says that we need to find the animals file with .dds at the end but i can't find them or the x100x100 thing so i can't make my own varients, i can't find the files like lion_sick (something like that any way) mine just says Lion adult_F and i would love to make some variants for my animals. I have got WinZip and DXTbmp, I've got all of the add-ons except dino danger :hearye: :sign_help :sofa:

You will need to open entities.z2f for the lion :D

I go to that entities but apparently with the add-ons you need to go to x100x100 that's the file i can't find. There's is only one lion animal in that and it says lion.xml

You see, you only go to the add-ons for an add-on animal. The lion is from original ZT2 and therefore the skins are in the original files: entities.z2f :D

as this has now changed more to asking about editing the files movced to correct forum..... again LOL

Umm.. I'm not really sure what you mean. Open entities.z2f go to entities/units/animals/Lion and find the .dds files there :)

I think we're starting to get somewhere, the only entities i can find are the ones for the space hack and food, i go through to where you say and instead of it saying .dds it says .xml

I'm not sure I understand... You should have opened up entities.z2f, is that what you did?

If that is the one in the Zoo Tycoon 2 file were all the official animals are (i presume that z2f means zoo 2 file) then i go to entities, units, animals, ai then it comes up with a list of animals from ZT2 original, with .xml at the end

yes, but you shouldn't go to there. Go to entities/units/animals/Lion
