Midnightstar, that question is unclear. To whom are you speaking? And what file are you talking about? If you could give us some more info, maybe someone could answer better. :huh

Ok, this is what you do :

1. Download the animal.
2. Open the file you dl-ed using winzip.
3. Extract the files to your desktop.
4. You will have 1 folder and 1 dl file on your desktop.
5. Put the dl file in the folder.
6. Open the folder.
7. Cut the items.
8. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2
9. Paste the items.

There, it will work now. I used to have this same problem !

As far as I know, there is no official limit to the amount of user created animals/items you can have for ZT2; however, the more you have, the longer it may take to load on your computer.

Do you have any expansions? You will need ES at least for those

Merged. Please do not start new topics when adequate ones exist. Thank you.

As far as the folder, it is by default invisible. You will have to make it visible by reading this topic and following the directions

I'm also downloading some user-created animals for ZT2 and don't know where to put them. RedNotDead's suggested path (c/documents and settings/all users/application data/microsoft games/zt2/downloads) doesn't work. There's no Application data folder in the All Users folder. Help?

It's because you have to make the hidden folders visible. Check this topic for help on that.

Albino pack question.
« Reply #113 on: December 11, 2006, 06:50:54 PM »
Is there an Albino Pack Part 2, because it has no .dl files in it or is it not supposed to?

I put them in the folder....No alboino's. not even in 5 star zoo. I tried to breed to get albino (put a bunch of Camels together, let them breed) No albino's. the original folder said Albino Pack Part 1, usually that means that the other half of the files are in a Part 2 but I cannot find it. I have many user created animals that work great, it is not that I don't know how to insall them, I really think that there is supposed to be a Part 2 with .dl files. I IM ed the file creator but have heard nothing.

Eureka! The problem was that I had too many user created files allready, and my game was running slow. What did I do, turn the grafics way down so the game would run faster. One problem, Albino Varients can only be seen if your grafics are on Med or High!
    So the moral of the story is "Less is more" don't get greedy with user created files if you don't have a top of the line processer!

It doesn't have dl files because the z2f files just go in the main game directory i think.

Merged with the ZT2 User Created DL Support Thread

Budgie is correct; if a download doesn't come with a .dl, you should assume that it goes in the intall directory, which by default is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2

The albino packs are varient skins; you can't breed and get albino babies. You have to place them as albino varients. Also, those skins will only work if you have ES or later.

Destiny, please don't post in all caps as it is considered yelling and rude.

As for your problem some dls won't work with new expansion packs. Another thing to do would be to check and make sure that the dls are still there, I believe I've had my user made downloads deleting after installing expansions, although I may be wrong.

i think there is a limit, or at least for the main ZT2 directory, because every time i put a new download in, it corrupts my game-only animals though

There is NO limit for number of downloads for ANY of the ZT2 packs. It must be something else.

Have you spoken to your Administrator as to whether or not you're allowed to download things? Do you have WinZip? Are you putting them directly into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2 ? Are you opening them or extracting them?

I can't seem to download the gharial - each time I click on the file, it shows an error and says no files are contained. Is anyone else getting this message?

Ya crooky there are some problems that have come up during the transfer from system to site. This can happen sometimes so we are asking that you post the filename and if possible a link to the file in the downloads section so we can look into it and get a good copy uploaded so you have no more problems.

You can post it here http://www.zooadmin.net/Smf/index.php?topic=8238.msg192342;boardseen#new
