Re: Usermade Animals and Ingame Toys

The only issue now is the animals 'exited' in the middle of the rope swing, with the rope still missing after the animation was completed. I suspect this may be as the animal used for the test, a gibbon, uses baby orang anims instead of adult at present. The configuration lines for the exit slot ar...

Re: Usermade Animals and Ingame Toys

Thank you for such a careful and technical explanation, Jay, I truly appreciate it. The Swinging Log For Asian Elephant uses special graphics. The elephant's trunk has to move realistically in relation to the log. Blue Fang had created this special graphics for the Asian Elephant, but never finished...

Usermade Animals and Ingame Toys

My current zt1 project is a gibbon, and a few other primates, based on the ingame orangutan. This was based on hearing from rightEyElash about the Absolutely Apes exhibit at San Diego, which held siamang and orangutan in a mixed exhibit, but I broadened my interest into making a new gibbon as well. ...

Re: Baiji Or Yangtze River Dolphin

I will never forget the moment I first heard of this animal's extinction... I had an existing fascination with it, and it was so sad to find out that it was gone from the world. We now know even more is wrong, with the Chinese paddlefish recently declared extinct...

Re: Tasmanian Devils To Be Extinct In 10-20 Years

The good news is fifteen years later, we still have Tasmanian devils and their current population is 10,000-25,000 mature individuals, according to recent reports, and they are returning to the mainland of Australia as well. The captive population is doing really well and there is a lot of optimism ...

Re: Zt2 Vs Zt1

I still continue to play both games. I find zt1's challenges and nuances more interesting. Creating habitats and decorating zoos is more satisfying. The fact many usermade objects are recolors or pieced together from ingame graphics means that usermade items still follow the game's overall artistic ...
