I am a newcomer at coding. I am working on my first porject. This is my 5th attempt at making a ZT2 animal. This is also the first animal I got to work.

Project: Ocelot
Descrption: Amazon-dwelling small cat
Progess: Recoloring first file (I am stuck, read my topic under recoloring help).

The Ocelot is a small cat from south america. It is my 5th attempt at an animal and the first one I got to work. It was made with the help of ZT2 DC and APE2. When finished, It will be put up for download.

Feel free to post your opinions, advice, and suggestions!

If your stuck with recolouring, you can request someone to recolour it for you in the topic "Skinner and Coder requests" under general topics.

Thanks Zooasaurus, though I sort of want to be able to recolor myself. Thanks for the advice.

My Ocelot is complete! However, I have another problem. I have no clue how to put it up for download. The .dl totourial is not working, and I not sure if I can put it in a folder with a screenshot and have it still work (like how the downloads are sorted based on creater). Can anyone help? I am done with my Ocelot and would like to upload it! :rolleyes:

All you really have to do is put the DL and the download folder in this location:
Code:
 
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2\downloads\zootycoon_com_zt2_1033

The DL tutorial is down so, I'll explain here:
1) Go to the above location
2) You will see folders and a bunch of "unknown files" copy one of the "unknown files" to your desktop
3) select open with... then select notepad
4) You should see something like this:
Posted Image
5) in uiname="...." put the name of the download (In this case ocelot)
6) In sitename="....." input ZTDC
7) In guid="...." put your username, leave all the rest alone
8) Save and exit
9) Rename the file to ocelot-mysteryman or any other name
10) Make a folder named the exact same name as the DL file
11) Put your z2f file in there, it doesn't matter what it name is
12) Go to the path mentioned above and drag your folder and dl file in there and it should work :)
Just remember to make sure everything works, I like to use Aminallover44's download checklist available here. ;)

yeah, you shouldn't request projects like that if theres no evidence the designer can mesh, it's very hard you know!

I have blender, but I don't how to use it. (I never knew what it was). Plus, I heard using blender corrupts the file (look for mesh editing under coding help). So I can't do mesh edits untill I either get blender to work or find an easier/better program. So don't request mesh edits, please. I do admit the Dodo is a good idea. Maybe it will be in the Extinct EXP pack. I can still take requests, as I am currently out of ideas.

I am sorry to say this, Zooasauras, but a Jaguarundi has already been made. It is in the SA (south america) pack at Zoo Admin. BTW, downloads are now up at ZA, but you must be a member to us them.

Zooasauras: You have a blender tutorial? I got to try that out. When will it be advailible?

I know a Jaguarundi was made, but I didn't find it realistic, and besides I've made many animals that have were already made, like the Spectacled Caiman, or Deinosuchus.
Anyway, the tutorial isn't up yet, and I'm not sure when it will be(it's made by riseofthedinos).
You could make some sort of tortoise, I can't think of anything, as all my ideas are ancient creatures.
