Title: Ghosts
Post by: gallopracer992 on December 03, 2005, 11:16:55 AM
Ok, this is kinda wierd, but I read somewhere that there are ghost animals and the same day that I read it my Polar Bear cub was transparent. I don't remember it dying or being killed, but he was just walking around and you could see right through him!  :shocked  Could someone tell me if there are ghost animals or if my computer has a glitch. (it might help if i tell you that I have ES)

When live animals turn transparent it's a glitch (usually it can be fixed when you exit) when dead animals come back it's an easter egg.

See through animals is an easter egg. They are ghosts! Guest get scared of them.

Does anyone when ghost animals will appear? Is it just on Halloween?

I don't like it either. It just ruins the realism.

see through animals can happen at any time, any place and it's a glitch. To someone who has a real ghost, can you please post a picture ? All ghosts that I got are normal (exept you can see through them) animals. This ia a glitch, NOT an easter egg.

Okay, one, it's not a glitch, it just means they were doing something while they were dying and didn't die. Two, there is ghosts in the game, there's even a new file and everything.

no, it is a glitch when normal animals go transparent. I had a perfectly healthy penguin do that on me. I saved and came back later and he was normal again. There are two ways. I think they accidently messed up so live animals sometimes go transparent, but they ment to be able to make dead animals come back.

I usually raise musk ox for my challenge zoos, right? So, one day, I notice a completely transparent musk ox..that wasn't dead! Ever since that fateful day, at least one of my musk ox are transparent. IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!  :angry   :angry   :angry

I think that is exactly the deal, from my experience.

@gallopracer992, we also have another topic where a lot of people have already described their ghost experiences.  You might find it interesting, it's over HERE (http://zoo.ogresnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5403).

Oh, it's a game, lighten up. It's suppposed to be fun. I think it's great humor...I'm only dissapointed I haven't seen one myself. Do these only show up in freeform? or in scenario and challenge too?

I have had two true ghosts. At least i am pretty sure they were. One a Javan Rhino and the other a Tapirin a freeform level. ANd i think it is pretty cool adition, that might be a hint to the next expansion, like the unlockable triceratops in the first game.
Xtreme: You call ghosts unrealistic when you never got upset about unicorns, bigfoot the lock ness monster or a yeti?

Well it would be nice to be able to turn them off.

Yeah, at least I HOPE its a hint to the next one! It's always a pain waiting for the next expansion form to come out, especially when you spend all your time wondering what it is!  :P
Anyway, I think the ghosts are kind of cool additions! It adds something to the game, even if it isn't very realistic...

The ghosts usually don't bother me, it's just that they take away from the realism a little bit.

Ahem, in case you didn't notice, ZT2 has no fatansy animals. It's clearly trying to be a realisitic game.  :whistle

I think they were talking about ZT1, but I still think i'd be better if they made a strictly realistic game instead of putting ghosts and fantasy animals though...

Yeah, didn't BF and MS say Zoo Tycoon 2 and it's expansion was headed toward realism?

Post by: Xtreme on December 07, 2005, 08:59:29 PM
Exactly. So why make ghosts?

I think it's just creepy! I don't want a haunted zoo! :(

I agree, ghost animals just kinda give me the heebie jeebies. I don't wanna go in and edit anything though. But it would be nice if they had an off button on ghost animals or simply a download for those of us that don't want them. (I'm one of the biggest scaredy cat here and yes, computer animated ghosts make me feel uncomftorable. *Looks behind back again.* Casper! Where's those 20 bucks you owe me!? :P *)

I've found they're trying to make the San Diego zoo stuff. There's a legend that say when the animals died, they were so happy living that they came back to life!(not for young children to read!)

I just hope it's just my point of view.
p.s. I'm a newb to ZT2 so tell me what's a easter egg?
Title: Ghosts
Post by: Yellowrose on December 09, 2005, 08:24:01 AM
Easter Eggs are special hidden goodies that are hidden within the game by the developers. They are things the game can do or show you that you were not told about.
