5 star zoo campaign

[Mistysun978]

Well this is odd. I am up to the 5 star challange again on the ES expansion pack and for some reason I NEVER have any guests come into the zoo when I start the challenge! I even uninstalled the entire ZT2 and reinstalled it loosing all my competed zoos and challenges. So does anyone out there know whats going on and how to get the guests into my zoo?? I've double checked and my zoo is open and I even set the entrance fees to free and no one comes in and i let it run for 3 months zoo time! Thanks for any help anyone can send my way!

sometimes you just have to open and close your zoo a few times, it always works for me

[Mistysun978]

I did that 5 times before I uninstalled and reinstalled ZT2 thinking maybe it was a glitch in the install. so far no people.

1. Do you have animas?
2. Are they in exhibits?
3. Are there paths leading to exhibits?

If that doesn't work, try making several exhibits.

[Mistysun978]

i had 3 exhibits 4 species and eating/play area with all the paths on it it's just wierd that no one is coming in at all!

Are they stuck at the entrance, maybe? This is a glitch I've hard of happening

[Mistysun978]

i don't see them there but is there a way to look?? or a file i can maybe lookup to see where they are??

[mikaboshi]

No, you'd be able to see them stuck at the gate. There's not a file to check.

Is this happening with all zoos or just this one?

[Mistysun978]

so far all my other  zoos are perfect it's just this one campaign that it's doing this on and I really want the breeding conservation center from this so my javan's will mate.

Well, if all else fails, you can download the unlock hack

[Mistysun978]

do you think maybe it's a glitch with the disk i have? maybe take it back and exchange it? It's really wierd since it's only on this one part of the ES campaign

hmmmmm.  unlock hack? what's that?

Please use the edit button instead of double posting, thanks. Mika

I don't think its the disk, unfortunately.

Do you have any user made downloads that could be interfering? Do you have other XPs besides ES? Maybe if you install only to ES, beat the scenario, then install the other XPs

[Mistysun978]

unfortunately it's not that easy. I just recently picked up ZT2 so it's the zookeeper collection which is ZT2 ES and AA. it's all on 2 discs and it's not seperated by xp discs like it would be if i had bought them seperate.

[mikaboshi]

Ohhh. Hmmm. Maybe you need to contact Microsoft and tell them that there is a glitch.

And the Unlock hack allows you to download the zoo basically the moment before you get the award, and then you have it! I'll look for it in Downloads.

[Mistysun978]

lol thats cheating but i may have to do that!

That's the link to the Hacks. I don't know which one it is exactly this very second

[Mistysun978]

I'm sure I'll figure it out thanks!

Check to make sure the path from the entrance is not blocked somehow. One time I made a 2-square wide path going straight from the entrance to an exhibit, with another 2-square wide path crossing the first one. Then I put a fountain right in the crossroads. There looked to be plenty of space around it, but I got ZERO guests. The minute I removed the fountain, the guests started to be generated like normal.

Check your fences. One time I used only downloaded (including official) fences in my zoo, and got no guests. Adding an exhibit that used an in-game fence, the guests began showing up.
