I want to download the mini pony and the fjord downloads, however, I don't know how to do it! It saves as a compressed zip, and I don't know how to open that or save it as something else, and where do I want to save it to to get it to play in ZT2 Marine Mania?

do you have the other expansion packs? cuz in your question you just say you have MM2. if you do not have the Endangered Species expansion pack, niether of those animals will work.

ok, so have winzip downloaded and downloaded the two animals, but when I go to extract it says there are no folders within???

What animals are you trying to download?

I REALLY suggest downloading WinRar, and follow the directions posted practically everywhere

The miniature pony and the Norweigan Fjord is what I'm trying to get at the moment.. I've read what to do once I get the files unzipped, but where I'm running into problems is I click on the download button, save it to winzip, and once in winzip when I right click the folder (it appears already unzipped) to click extract, it says the folder is invalid/no files..

mikaboshi · « **Reply #8 on:** January 09, 2007, 05:58:23 PM »

no no dont save it TO winzip. Save it to your desktop or something and then right click and say "Extract" or something like that

Ugh, I quit... I've read through both ways to download into the game and have tried to use both Winzip and Winrar and CAN NOT get it to work.. Either I am MAJORLY computer illiterate or my computer is edited!

Please be reminded that this is a family forum and we do not appreciate any language that the censors don't like. Thanks. Mika

If you would just be a little more patient; we all run into problems sometimes, but because we are assisting you in a way where its not easy to see what's going on on your computer, and sometimes it takes a few tries to figure out what part of the process is the problem.

csleesburg · « **Reply #11 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:28:53 PM »

Are you trying to OPEN the files? If so, that could be the problem. You need to EXTRACT the contents to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2 :wink:

cmclca · « **Reply #12 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:30:56 PM »

Sorry, didn't mean it, I'm just so frustrated cause I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! grrr

mikaboshi · « **Reply #13 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:32:11 PM »

Can you walk us through EVERY step you take from the moment you download on? That would help us help you

cmclca · « **Reply #14 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:38:52 PM »

ok I have WinRar downloaded on my computer.... Right now I'm downloading/saving the mini pony to my desktop

ok, it's downloaded.. now do I extract the files directly to the zootycoon 2 file?

Please use the edit button instead of double posting. Thanks! Mika

mikaboshi · « **Reply #15 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:51:14 PM »

What I usually do is hit right click on the file (named dlver- something.zip) and hit Extract to... and then you can extract right to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2"

cmclca · « **Reply #16 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:54:38 PM »

ok, Right clicked and extracted to ZT2, found the file under the creater name.. now what?

When I right clicked to extract it didn't give me a choice of 'extract to', just said 'extract files', 'extract here', and 'extract to (miniature horse file name)'

mikaboshi · « **Reply #17 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:55:29 PM »

no, you need to just hit Extract to....and then find the location you want to extract to, not the file you want to extract

mikaboshi · « **Reply #19 on:** January 09, 2007, 08:15:30 PM »

Oh okay, I gotcha, sorry. Go to "Extract Files..." and THEN navigate to the folder

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2

cmclca · « **Reply #20 on:** January 09, 2007, 08:17:18 PM »

ok, file is now in zoo tycoon main file

mikaboshi · « **Reply #21 on:** January 09, 2007, 08:18:11 PM »

That's it. LOL you did it. that;s the end. Try to start up the game now

cmclca · « **Reply #22 on:** January 09, 2007, 08:26:24 PM »

ugh.. still don't have something right cause the animal didn't show up in the animal list... When it extracted the download, it added the file to the Zoo Tycoon 2 file as the creator name? Do I need to do something else?

mikaboshi · « **Reply #23 on:** January 09, 2007, 08:29:59 PM »

I woudl just take it out of the folders and put the .z2f in the directory.

Or, you can try to locate

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2\downloads but you have to make hidden folders visible for that. Then you can put the creator folder in there

WAHOO!! It works! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! lol Sorry I was such a pain! lol Hopefully I can do this on my own now! hehehe
