The Official Zoo Tycoon Forum

This MegaManual was a smash when I first announced it, and I said it should have been released by May 17. Sorry it was not, but... I got a new computer running Fedora 9 Linux (not Windows) so I have yet to try to get the game installed (have to use emulators, I know it sucks but oh well) and I am moving from Ohio to North Carolina so I cannot use the game till then (it has been packed up and buried under many, many boxes) but, I still plan to make the MegaManual for you all to enjoy. I'll have to kick it into overdrive though, as I am shooting for a First Day Of Fall release, or, at the worst, Halloween. So, shall we breathe life into this MegaManual again and make this a community effort? Sure shootin we will! Here's what I ask of you people, but note that you do not have to do anything if you do not want to, this is voluntary. This MegaManual will be available to everyone, regardless of whether or not you help. 1) I will need to know what stuff I should put in the Manual. I wont put in how to beat the levels, so heck with that, no walkthroughs. I could though put in Tips & Tricks, however. I will update this post(probably reply to my own post to update lol, but this post itself may be updated) if I ask of anything else, pictures or whatnot. But for now, lets work on what we have NOW to worry about.

Farewell to everyone. And the forums!

That's ok-hey your moving to my state!

Anyway, I think that you should put in compatable biomes for each species, minimum cage size for each species, and maybe some tips and tricks for campaigns and challenges like you said. That is all that I would really need, but some other stuff would be cool like pictures of species that you can't get without creating them in the research lab. quaggas for example.

All of your things are AWESOME sounding but one thing, I do not have (and will not be getting, anytime soon anyway) Extinct Animals. So none of the creation things unless someone supplies the photos and perhaps the data, it depends on whether or not I put those in their own part. I may just stick them in the "Animal Info" section. Oh yeah I may be switching to Windows Vista ----- Fedora (or any Linux for that matter) wont load my games! ZT2, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, Nascar 2003, The Sims, you name it! Oh well thats for a later post. Oh yeah, should I release a PDF, DOC (Word format) or HTML version of the manual, or all 3? Which is more convienent? Probably PDF as it doesnt get screwed up when exporting to PDF format and can't be edited TOO easily without computer knowledge.
