Thanks everyone for being so supportive and helpful! It makes the process a lot more fun and rewarding! :D

Open question - what name should the Tapir be identified by ingame? 'Kobami Tapir', 'Dwarf Tapir', 'Little Black Tapir', 'Pygmy Tapir', etc.? It's currently coded as TapirDwarf but I may change it.

@Tyranachu: Thanks for the clarification - I thought so! I just took another look at it ingame -- excellent work on the model! I'll almost certainly use it for the Kobami Tapir :D

@one_piece: Thanks! My previous attempts a few years ago failed. I'd like on my next break to glve Blender another try but I want to wait until I have the extra free time to try it. I did some meshing in a 30-day copy of 3DS Max at one point but got nothing usable out of it besides my old 'Sperm Whale' model that is horrifically out-of-date. But I'm definitely going to try it again sometime!

@sardine300: ZTH is closed, but all of it's downloads and resources are being moved to Zoo Tycoon Designing Center :)

@Even: Hey there! Long time, no see! :D

@arafan: I didn't know Eyrel had made a Mountain Tapir - I must've overlooked it. I thought the only ones were Penguinman's and Austroraptor's. Is there a picture available? And I believe DinosaurMan specifically said on the AD Forums he wanted to save the Chimpanzee for later and I've been delaying asking him about it myself ;)

I'd go for Kabomani Tapir, but Dwarf or Pygmy Tapir is nice aswell...

About Eryel's mountain tapir, it was a part of the Wild New World pack that already revealed, but still not released yet. ;)

Yes, you can see it here .
I don't know that.

I am also going for Kobami! You don't know, maybe they will discover a even smaller species in the future ;)
Love your project ideas :)

Thanks! It will most likely be the Kobami Tapir then... also, I will code the Mountain Tapir so that it doesn't conflict with any others ;)

That's a good point, papageno - and thanks! I like to keep my portfolio here as diverse as I can :)

I think it'd be most logical to use Kabomani (not Kobami, where'd you get that?) tapir.

Maxforever also made a PD brazilian tapir if you are looking for models.

Sorry for the slow updates - school keeps me busy four to five days of the week, but I design plenty on the weekends and have no intentions of stopping again any time soon - and all aforementioned projects are still on! Here's a quick preview of something I was working on last week ;)

Edit: Maxforever's Tapir looks great but I haven't yet accumulated enough posts on ZH to access it, though I've been working on posting there :D

Would you look at me? I'm setting records.

Wow John, so much juicy stuff planned. Take it nice and slow though, no rush. ;)

Two weeks ago a friend of mine asked, as a favor, for me to make UT2's African Lion appear instead of Blue Fang's rather than as a separate animal, along with some properties edits. I've been working on it but keep running into problem after problem. As a test, I also made an Asian lion off the same base that works great except for the zoopedia not working.

Would anyone be willing to look over these files (The actual coding) to let me know what I've messed up? I can't figure out what :/

Burnt_Gecko's always been one of the finest skinners in the Zoo Tycoon community and his amazing Dawn of the Planet of the Apes reskins were one of the first real breaths of life into ZT2's apes in a looong time, so I'm pretty proud to announce we've joined forces.. take a look at the new Radical Remake-inspired Bonobo skin! (RR on the right) The model is from RR and mesh-edited (with HENDRIX's permission) and -BG- is making an all-new skin that looks quite true to life if I say so myself.

The lions, meanwhile, still aren't moving and I could still use a peek-see. I've tried re-coding the Asian lion's lang and ui files to no avail, so there's some problem with the zoopedia link in the main .XML file. The remake I'd think is the .BFM but again, took a look and nothing looks amiss. Tried renaming the model and re-linking to the new name and now it's invisible.

Edit: Updated first post a bit.

Hey JohnVM,

I like very much the remake. I have a little question about the Bonobo. If I'm informed right, one of the differences between them and the chimpanzee is, that Bonobos have a dark face even after growing up. Including ears ;)
It is just suggestion. Maybe it's caused by something designing-technically, this would be far away from my knowledge. No offense!

The rest: Again - Great remake and wonderful Ape! :)
