first of all, I think it should be scrub, compatible with desert adn savannah.
Make it much smaller (maybe .2 or .1 scale), and delete the readme, and the file callled meerkat_emote. Kepp the .xml file that came with apeII. Also delte any txtkeys or bf files. BUt make sure that your don't acidentallt delete the bfm files cause those are all the animations.
I know my avie is irrelevant, but hey! everybody likes owls! right!...
PM if you want mm2 animals skinned! (just nothing from the otter-I can't do fur

The animal you are basing it off of is an AA animal - therefore you should NOT keep the files that APE II came with. Get all of the files for the meerkat from x110_000.z2f

Umm...a naked mole rat?

The files that come with APEII were based on animals in only ZT2 original. The animals have since been updated, and as you obviously have AA you will need to have AA files, or your animal won't work, because the files for it don't come with APE. That's like trying to put double A batteries into a remote that only uses triple A - for one, it won't fit and for two its not going to power up the remote.

You can't right click open with for winhex. You actually have to open winhex by itself, then go to file/open and select your file.

You have to extract the file out of the .z2f in order to open the file.

Okay, well from your other post it seemed like you were trying to open the NIF while the file was inside of a .z2f - you can't have it "zipped up" and try to open it. How are you trying to open the file? Please be as specific as possible.
