That froggie looks nice! And, just so you don't get confused by what Penguinman said, in the .nif file the name does have to stay the same length, and the .dds file then has to match it, as I said above. And he's right, it's easier if you use the same name throughout. (I just didn't want you to get confused, that's all)

Thanks, and zoopedia is almost done. Just have to get the 'continent' pik correct, and I think the Nile crocs one should work fine. Then just have to edit the entities ai folder so he comes from wetland... |

TARA-TA-TARA! Ze Frog is DONE! (sort of...) Frog Utopia ![]() ![]() Everything appears to work, biome is correct, gfx work....so I'm going to continue with the project. I wanted to try my hand at other coding, so I think I'll roll it all into one. I'm going to try and make a reed for my frog, and a smaller insect log to fit into smaller, frog sized exhibits. I may also work on an enrichment item for him, though I wont say WHAT that could be yet. The only problem is: I realise the frog is an ambient, so is there a reason WHY there are no enrichment items etc. for the frogs, i.e it isnt possible? |

I'll think about those, but personally prefer the log more naturalistic looking. As for the images, I cant really get them any bigger for some reason. If any knows why....(I'm uploading them from Putfile straight from my album file in Zoo Tycoon) Trying not to double post, even though this is completely different. I made an info board for my frog, pik below. I'll try and make an info board for each of my animals, cos i like them Info Board

Spike, you have done VERY well with that frog! Congratulations! I will be happy to have him when he's ready. And the board is an excellent idea, too. To answer a couple questions. Yes, you can change his enrichment if you wish. You'll find it in the ai file. Don't forget there ARE flies, dragonflies and fireflies available in Martin1990's Bonus download pack (if you've got it). You could make those enrichment for him. I know the Fennecs eat them. As to making a new food, I don't know if that is possible (like worms, I mean). You'll have to wait and see what Penguinman says about that. I've never tried it. I guess because except for the worms, anything an animal eats is already available. We may get something new with AA though. You CAN change what he eats, though, if you choose. That, also, is in the ai file. If you need any help (which doesn't look likely) just post here.

looks great! I know it is possible to make new foods but I have never done it myself. Good luck! |

OK, I decided against the reed, there isnt really any I could find that I wanted to make, so instead I tried to make a wetlands mushroom from the toadstools. However, not sure what files i need, but when I put it into the game it was just weird squares where the fungi should have been, and it flashed yellow-black-yellow-black really quickly. Some piks below: (the second pik also shows the toadstools found within ZT2 as comparison)![]()

You need the same files that you would need for an animal (except for the .beh files). You need the ai (xml), the 'skin' (dds) and the lang/ui files. The flashing generally means a mis-naming somewhere. Check and making sure you haven't spelled wrong, or put a capital where it shouldn't be (or reverse). For example, you may have named it Toadstool2, but in the ai file you've put toadstool2. Things like that. The nif is probably alright, since the game didn't crash. |

I cant find a .tsk file anywhere for the toadstool, but I have all the rest. I'll search through them and try and work out whats gone wrong. Also, I'm trying to make a lizard (wont say what yet) and was using Boblus's Nile Monitor as a base for coding, however the gift people buy for it flashes like my mushrooms, does boblus's monitor have this glitch or is it my re-coding? Oh, and I cant get the frog's gift to work, the re-color of the DDS doesnt show. If you have any idea bout any of the above, muchas gracias

Well, don't know about the gifts (never done one), but I do know you don't need a .tsk file for a plant. Plants don't have tasks! :lol: So, if you've got the dds and nif files, plus the ui/lang files, you're okay. |

well, I'm sure I have the right files, I just cant get the thing to work. Found a mistake in coding, but it made no difference once i've changed it

The error is not due to a misnamed file. It is due to lack of a .bfb and matereals files ;). |
