ZKL Combined dll File

[Jay]

Zoo Tycoon has a limit of 63 dll files, including dll files created by Blue Fang. If Zoo Tycoon sees more than 63 dll files, it will not start. There are far more than 63 user created dll files. For people who like having lots of buildings, etc. in their game at once, this provides a way to have more. This dll file includes the messages from 88 other dll files from a number of sites. It does not include dll files that have message conflicts or scenario messages. Also, it does not include dll files from other sites that are combined dll files themselves.

In order to get around the Zoo Tycoon limit, you might be tempted to use a building without a dll file. This will probably work if you never ran a "patch" program that comes with some downloads. However, if you did run a "patch" program, we have seen where Zoo Tycoon will crash if a guest uses a building that does not have any dll file. (It is obvious when a building does not have a dll file because it will not have a name in the Zoo Tycoon menus.) It is highly recommended that you do not run any "patch" programs. (If you have run "patch" programs, and you have experienced unexpected game crashes, you should replace the lang0.dll file with the one provided by Zoo Tycoon. You might no longer see names for some things, but at least you should have less, possibly no, game crashes.)


Please note that this dll file does not fix user items. If you were having problems with a particular user item before, you will still have problems with it. If it worked before, it should still work.

The name of the dll file has two dashes in its name intentionally. This prevents it from overriding anything else. This also means that if one of the original dll files is updated in the future, it can be safely placed in the Zoo Tycoon main folder without having to worry about the lang--ZKL.dll file affecting it. This name also allows other combined dll files to be used at the same time as this file.
