I sucessfully got my first animal onto zoo tycoon 2 (mustang, not recolored yet)
But now I have an animal named wolvez I made (a wolf) that when put onto the game everything works (zoopedia, image etc.) but the wolf when placed can't be seen. I know that it is there because it shows up when I click the animals in the zoo icon and messages about its biome come up if I place it somewhere like a desert. Please help me!!!

did you rename the .nif files and skins?

Bep-Boi · « **Reply #2 on:** October 02, 2006, 04:45:51 AM »

Is this for zoo tycoon 1 or 2, because you posted it in zt1 support.

Did you try to edit the nif??

EDIT: Yeah, this is for Zt 2 and it's posted in Zt 1 Tech Support!

My mustang made from a zebroid i downloaded (first time making zt2 animal)is all white when I haven't recolored it yet and zebroids don't have a white skin.
My wolvez (2nd animal made) made from a dingo isn't showing up (invisible) when I place it. The zoopedia, icons etc work. A message still shows up under messagessays "wolvez 1 is not contained".
Please reply or refer me to someplace with the answer.
Thanx!

Moved to ZT2 editing. :wink:

Also, I'm not a big animal troubleshooter, myself, but I'd recommend exploring the Creativity Center here a bit, as the problems you're describing I have seen asked about before so there might already be a solution posted somewhere.

The thing is some other animals i (deer, wolf) downloaded turned white or rainbow for a bit, I restarted my game and everything was fine.
For the mustang and(or) wolvez do you think its a coding problem or bug on my game from doing a lota downloads lately?:IloveZA: :IloveZA:

goldenpuon · « **Reply #8 on:** October 03, 2006, 05:11:56 PM »

I renamed everything correctly but I think I should have this discussion under the string i made called Double Trouble. Don't want to be in trouble for too many threads for one thing and I don't know how to move it. Sorry...

penguinman · « **Reply #9 on:** October 03, 2006, 08:24:05 PM »

It's probably a coding error. Check the main xml files and make sure the paths in there to the dds files are correct.

goldenpuon · « **Reply #10 on:** October 04, 2006, 12:20:10 PM »

When you say paths, what exactly do you mean? The zebroid I downloaded works fine. The mustang's files are exactly copied off the zebroid exactly exept animal's codename, zoopedia, dl file. I already found Zebro (used for zebroid) used in the entitles/units/animals/mustang folder and replaced it with mustang. Do you think that the person who coded the zebroid used another name for the "zebroid and Zebro"?

On the the animal wolvez, is there any animal invisability fix on this site?

penguinman · « **Reply #11 on:** October 04, 2006, 03:07:53 PM »

In the main xml files search for .dds and make sure the path matches up. This means the name of the .dds file as well as the folder names. If it does not, change it so that it does

mikaboshi · « **Reply #12 on:** October 04, 2006, 03:14:45 PM »

Umm, maybe this is just personal preference since I made the zebroid, but you should get permission from the creator first before you base any animals off of their creations....

goldenpuon · « **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2006, 12:07:26 PM »

I'm sorry, I tried 8 hours to make a mustang off the comoon zebra with ape 2. I didn't have enough experience but I will be reskining as soon as I can get the sofftware off the web in a few weeks and editing other things a s well (babies). I won't put it up to for anyone to download.:

goldenpuon · « **Reply #14 on:** October 05, 2006, 12:10:26 PM »

I fixed the wolvez invisisbleness by replacing all the nif files with the original. One of the skins is white when placed and so is the animal before it's placed but the colors show up after you put it in the zoo. My mustang is still white. How can I fix this

Thank you!

I heard that editing the number of babies in BFRandomSet (no minPlays, maxPlays) animals could crash your game. I tried editing the common zebra which is supposed to be one of those animals where you can't change the number of offspring and I edited it and got 4 baby common zebras from 1 pregnancy! If you wish to alter the animals with no minPlays, max Plays, add to " I'm not saying this will work, it didn't when I had DD installed and I don't think works unless all the x100 files with the beh file of the animal says the same amount of offspring, also i haven't thoroughly tested it so I guess it crashing your game is still a possibility.

Merged your Double Trouble and Invisible Wolf threads.

As to your invisible wolf, please confirm that you have named everything correctly. In the .nif, you cannot use more or less letters than the nif originally had. Therefore, like, for my African Crowned Crane, I had to use the name AfricanCrownedC in the .nif and for the main .dds file, because BirdSecretary has less letters. If your codename is shorter than the original name, then use underscores _ to fill in the gap. Example: BirdSecretary becomes Phorusrhacos_

Then you must make sure that in the main xml file, the new .dds name is reflected in there.
