Zoo Admin

I just downloaded Shen's Paths Pack for ZT2.  When I went to unzip it, the extraction wizard said that there were no files to extract.  I tried just double clicking it to see what was in the folder and it said that the file was corrupted.
Is anyone else having the same problem?

To Yellowrose - There should be holding posts in the staff area at ZAZT1. Not sure how complete they are so here is the info that might be needed and the ogresnet picture name or you can get the screen from DD if needed. I redid a bigger version of many of these which is at DD. Some of the files are in ftp sub folders because they had not been done.
Note that each time files were rereleased the site would use up its bandwidth sometime after the 25th of the month, expecially if they were the bigger ZT2 files.

To Members - Most maps and zoos were released way back but when the site went down the first time whole areas were lost and that included zoos and workbenches. As I can match things I will try to re-release a few. Click the word download to get the file.

Description : This is a full medium map with a very intricate labrynth leading to another section of the zoo in the middle. In testing this zoo it is difficult to keep guest happiness rating high but can be done. There are many entrances to the labrynth but only two will reach the center. Those guest taking the wrong path will have many rest areas to keep them occupied and somewhat happy.

This region's wide swaths of tall grasses provide excellent coverage for lions on the hunt, and the occasional tree provides shade for resting lions. The lion spends over 20 hours a day resting, usually in the shade of trees or rocks. However, the lion is a very athletic cat, capable of impressively long and high leaps. They are also terrific climbers. White lions are albino.

As one who still has ZT2 installed (even though I haven't played it much recently) I don't think of it as being anymore or less "dead" than than many of the other games I cling to forever. It may not be "alive" insofar as new EPs or massive amounts of new user content, but so long as there is still modding info & other such stuff lurking around the 'net, it still has a "pulse" of some sort. I'm still trying to find the last bits of info I need regarding the life spans/ reproduction stats that I need to make my own critter mods, but then I'm also a diehard Sims 2 player/modder so maybe I'm just a sucker for games other people have abandoned...or games with "2" in their titles!
