Help Importing Items Into Ape

[JurassicPhil]

:getlost  Ok, I'm wanting to make a variation of an existing ZT item - the jumping fountain
but when I load up the APE program this item is not in the list of files for me to start a project with
(there's many items not there, but I am wanting this one)

Anyways, is there some way I can import this item or force APE to retrieve more game items ??

thanks,
Phil

I've never done this before so not sure if it can be done.

Casey can you answer this for both of us please.

I guess this is considered topic bumping a topic, but I know the answer.
Take a pic from each rotation in ZT. Make sure the fountain is on a terrian type unlike the fountians' color, for ex. grass would work.
Load the pics into Microsoft Photo Editor (already on most XP comps) and select only the square with the fountain. Then click on tranperancy tool at the top... then click on the terrian in backround of the fountain.... set it to 100% percent. NOTE: This is where the terrian must be very different colors!) Do this for all pics then load them into APE and percead as normal.
Sorry about bumping this. :sorry

Well, some user created .ztd files can be opened in Ape.  By the 'open' project function.  (The same as you would re-open your ztd file.)  Some... don't.  I don't know why.
