Great work though I would suggest using zeros monk seal in Mediterranean marvels. ;) Still a great seal and I've seen one in captivity when I visited Hawaii and in the wild.
I would love to, but ZooHispania has decided to make it's download area off limits to people who don't post on their forum, and since I don't speak Spanish (and have no interest in using Google Translate just to essentially post-farm for downloads), I'll stick to what's readily available.

Anyway, thanks for all the positive feedback, guys :)

Oh alright. Or you could ask someone who has access to it and send it to you. ;)

Well that kind of defeats the purpose of what ZH is trying to do by requiring members be active in order to access downloads. I'd rather respect their wishes/intentions than circumvent them by pestering people for what they've got saved on their computers.

I'll check my own download archive later tonight. I might have it stashed in there somewhere. I thought I had all of Zeros' projects (because I've always been impressed by them and used them in my zoos), but I'm not too confident that I have it. I just went through that folder a few weeks ago and I don't recall seeing Mediterranean Marvels in there.

Oh well! :3 I think the Harbour Seal model is appropriate for the Hawaiian Monk Seal. I believe they're fairly closely related, no?

On another note... has anyone made a Weddell Seal yet?

Understood ma'am. I don't blame you. It still looks fairly accurate to ones I've seen in captivity and in the wild and I'm glad that someone is preserving there magnificence ingame. :)

Looks pretty impressive so far, I hope you continue creating a few more seals since we have very few.

That seal looks so damm cute. Can't wait to actually see it finished. You're doing a great job.

Just one small question: Since you used DM's harbor seal as a base, where you able to fix the problem with the breeding (the harbor seals don't breed)?

I'm going to attempt to fix it for the Hawaiian Monk Seal. If it's a basic coding issue, I should be able to figure it out. If it's something to do with anything more complicated than that, I'll have to either send it to someone smarter than I am to check it out, or... I dunno.

Let's hope I can fix it xD

I am pretty sure it is not coded yet, so probably no.

Yeah, the order that I usually use for these projects is:

1. Find a PD model that will work for an animal on my wishlist.
2. Download or move it to my desktop. Create a new folder, transfer existing .z2f to the folder.
3. Open the adult model in Nifskope. Export the UV template to the project folder.
4. Open the UV template in PS CS2.
5. Create the texture layer. Test the textures on the model in Nifskope.
6. Add color, shadow, highlight, etc., layers. Test on the model in Nifskope.
7. Create variants. Test on the model in Nifskope.
8. Edit .z2f files for base model/animal to fit my animal.
9. Test in Zoo Tycoon 2.
10. Troubleshoot. Repeat step 9 until everything works.

So I'm far, far from even looking at the coding. If it's really bad, I'll try to get my paws on Zeros' Monk Seal (which I presume has working mating/babies?) and work from there. If that's not an option... I may have to pay a visit to one of the coding "doctors" that have helped me with coding problems before. I'm sure I/we will figure it out. :)
