Hi ZT2DC. I posted my current projects over at Zoomania so I've decided to just copy/paste. :P

Hi everyone! I've just started to skin some things that are seperate from my site. For those of you who have seen my site, you might have seen the skin of a Fishtail Fern (a plant that me and Nique created about a year ago). Well I liked the plant a lot and decided that it might be a good idea to include it in a mini pack I am creating. It's only small so don't expect much but anyway, here's a picture of the Fishtail Fern skin:

I've also started skinning a Bay Cat to go with the jungle plant. The Bay Cat is a small, orange wildcat that lives on the island of Borneo in Indonesia. What interested me about this cat is the fact it is so rare and it was only discovered in 1998. Here's a pic of the skin of the Bay Cat:

I hope everyone likes the skins. I think I may be able to code the plant myself but believe me when I say I'm completely useless at animals. Therefore it would be great if I could lend a hand from a coder.

I will hopefully have pics of the fishtail fern in the game soon so watch this space!  :D


UPDATE
The Fishtail Fern is 99.9% completed. The only problem that stands in my way is the fact I can't convert folders to .z2f files. Can someone please help me? :(

In my extra spare time, I managed to make a variant skin for the Giant Tortoise (at least this is something I can do lol). Here's a pic:

if you have winrar, select all the folders(entities, ui, and lang) and right click/add to archive. That will bring up the winrar menu. Select .zip in the side bar, but in the name, replace .zip with .z2f, then add to archive at the bottom ;)

Thanks badis, that'll help quite a bit. :lol:

Okay, since I can convert to .z2f now (thanks badis :thumbsup: ) I've got a pic of the Fishtail Fern in game:

Posted Image

I've also decided that I'm going to leave the Bay Cat on it's own and put the Fishtail Fern in a reskinned version of mine and Nique's old foliage since I can recolour better now. I've made a list of projects in the first post!

I'm also going to include the Tortoise skin in a varients pack! Well, at least it's something new for me lol. :lol:

Another update copied/pasted from Zoomania:

I'm concentrating on reskinning all the old foliage at the moment, and I managed to get the Koa Tree skin complete! Here's a pic (I spent a little bit of time making this pic look nice lol).

Just so you know, me and Nique made two foliage packs in the past, so I thought it would be a good idea to just put them all in one pack. The new Revamped Foliage Pack will contain these plants and trees:

Koa Tree
Fishtail Fern
Bracken
Heather
Mondo Grass
Edelweiss
African Shrub
Foxglove
Holly Bush

I remember the Koa tree and it looks so much better. I love how rich the colours are in the trunk.

Thanks for the comments you two! Oh and the old foliage packs (1 and 2) were both posted at Zoo Admin and Zoo Tycoon Gold. Unfortunately, both websites are now offline but that's all the more of a reason for me to bring them back! :lol:

Yet another update I posted at Zoomania:

Quote:
 
Two more plants finished today! I didn't have as much time today but I'll probably get most of the rest done tomorrow.

First up, Mondo Grass! Now I didn't reskin this plant as it looked good as it was, but I did change the icon as it didn't look as good last time.

Posted Image

Next is the Foxglove! I changed the skin greatly and made it less blotchy, aswell as the icon.

Hi again. Today's update is I have managed to get the male Kangaroo looking like the female Kangaroo. :o

Posted Image

This was just a test really to see what happened. I think that someone may have already done this, I'm not sure yet. Even if they did I could renew it for them if they wanted. I'm going to include this in the skins pack alongside the animal varients.

I reskinned the Africa Shrub and made it look entirely different from the Red Oat grass today! By the way, it's also water placeable, I never realised. :lol: Here's a pic:

Posted Image

That's the last of the foliage! The Heather, Bracken and Holly Bush were fine as they were so the Foliage Pack is complete! Now I just need to make sure everything works.
