Hack

[jurassicmatt]

hi everybody. i was wondering if there was a hack of some kind to make all animals like grassland?

I don't know about a hack, but you can do it yourself.

First use Winrar or Winzip to get to the following location: x100_000.z2f\entities\units\animals\ai or entities\entities\units\animals\ai (the first is if you have ES, the second if you don't). You'll find a bunch of .xml files. There are seven, I believe, per animal, but you want the one with just the animal's name (AntelopeSableGiant.xml for example).

Open the XML file in Wordpad/Notepad.

Find the assortment of lines -- it's not very far down the page -- that says (this is the set for the Sable Giant Antelope):
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It doesn't like Grassland very much at all. So change the "-5" to 5 or 10 and it'll like Grassland just fine. Save the file and put it back where you found it. That should work for you.

There is animals that tolorate grassland like Komodo Dragons, Nile Crocodiles, and maybe Camels and more.

[jurassicmatt]

i know. i meant so all the animals like the same biome

[Fred_Fredburger]

How come so you could scare guest with your grassland liking penguins?

[jurassicmatt]

yeah that would be funny.
i would edit all of them apart from the tundra. they look funny in any other biome: :

Yes kind of like putting bannana trees in a tundra exhibit?

The coding used to create ZT2 isn't HTML, actually. HTML is the language of web pages, but this is something different. It's pretty intuitive once you've been looking at it for a while.

Okay, jurassicmatt's question has been answered, and we're getting far Off Topic here. This is not a chat thread, so this is :s_closed:
