As buildings/attractions/fences/paths/etc have been created by users over the years, there have been occasions where the messages from two different downloads conflict with one another, or where the messages from a download conflicted with something that was later released by Microsoft. For example, you might click on a Coca Cola Machine, but it says Laboratory instead. These message conflicts do not hurt the game in any way. I have had many of these message conflicts for a few years but kept the items in my Zoo Tycoon because they look so good that I can live with the confusing messages. But I wanted to share with others what conflicts I have found. This will also serve as a reference to know what should be changed over time (which is why the message numbers are also shown). Along with the name of the item, its affected dll file name is also shown. I am sure the list is not complete. And, in some cases, it is possible that these conflicts do not exist any more due to updated versions. Any download that is available at Zookeeper's Lounge is indicated by "{ZKL}".

Miscellaneous notes:
- If using Lang_ZTF01.dll, delete Lang-ztcastle.dll and Lang_ZTF_tunnelsPLUS.dll (as per the instructions) to avoid potential conflicts.
- If you have the older Snowy Gift Shop {ZKL} with lang_snowygiftshop.dll, upgrade to the newer one (which uses a dll file with a different name) and delete lang_snowygiftshop.dll to avoid potential conflicts.
- If you have the older Ourtime Magic Hedge with langMagicHedge.dll, upgrade to the newer one (at ZA, which uses langmagichedge.dll) and delete langMagicHedge.dll (since the names only differ in case, delete the old one, then copy in the new one) to avoid potential conflicts.
- If you have the older ZTU old boardwalk path with lang_ztu_oldboardwalkpath_v1-0.dll or the older ZTU popcorn stand with lang_ztu_popcornstand_v1-0.dll, upgrade both of them to the newer ones (which use dll files with "v1-1" instead of "v1-0") and delete lang_ztu_oldboardwalkpath_v1-0.dll and lang_ztu_popcornstand_v1-0.dll to avoid potential conflicts.
- If you have the ZA user awards 2 prior to Feb. 17, 2004, upgrade to the newer one to avoid potential conflicts.
- If you have the Coca Cola vending machine prior to Aug. 26, 2004, upgrade to the newer one to avoid the potential conflicts.
- If you have the Velociraptor pit prior to Aug. 27, 2004, upgrade to the newer one to avoid the potential conflicts.
- If you have the Ball pit, Drop zone, Log flume, or Space needle prior to Sep. 17, 2004, upgrade to the newer ones to avoid the potential conflicts.
- If you have the Male bathroom prior to Oct. 4, 2004, upgrade to the newer one to avoid the potential conflicts.
- If you have langmcdfoodstand.dll, delete it and use the ZKL combined dll file (Oct. 4, 2004 version or newer) to avoid potentially incorrect tooltips for Blue Fang's fancy buildings.
