Comments in the Article

[edit]

For some reason, I saw something that said: Zoo Tycoon 2 is really fun! Is it me or am I halucinating?

A few things

[edit]

I think this talk page should become an archive, first off. It's so cluttered! The second thing is that I am thinking of combing bonus downloads with the animals list, having a tiny note saying '(Bonus Download' due to the suggestion above. Thank you. --98.193.61.220 23:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the idea of combining bonus animals with the regular list, and having the note saying that it was a bonus download. Maybe adding where it could be downloaded could be added, to keep the info in the old table. If everyone wants, I could go edit it. -- Aquawolf 02:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Having the bonus downloads section as it is is fine. I have archived the talk page already. ----- Cuddly Panda (talk · contribs) review me! | join the My Chatroom] 10:19, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Table of Animals

[edit]

Just finished a full comprehensive table of animals, it took me a while! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Small090 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The animals need to be updated, there are now 130 animals in UC.Pico del Teide (talk) 18:01, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How far this article has gone

[edit]

Isn't it amazing that an article like this started off like this? ----- Cuddly Panda (talk · contribs) review me! |my chatroom] 09:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. That is really cool. Just shows you how much more popular Zoo Tycoon 2 is than a cleavland Steamer, or something like that. :) Aquawolf 20:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zoo Tycoon 2 Mac Page

[edit]

Why is there even a page for this!? It is no different from the main game in anyway that actually distinguishes it enough to get a page to its own, it should be deleted and have a small section on the main game article Triceratops9 13:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Biome Brush.jpg

[edit]

Image:Biome Brush.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

About the Downloads

[edit]

Who placed the Apatosaurus and Sperm whale in the bonus download section? Do you even know if that is true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Falconfly (talk • contribs) 10:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those are false, its vandilism. A question about the Addax though, its an download for the African Adventure expansion, so why is the Addax on this page and not the AA page? I'm moving it to where it should be. Sorry about the trouble, I read somewhere that it was for it, I think it was on a talk page somewhere and I forgot to check Triceratops9 15:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No it isn't. It is for ZT2 and belongs in the relevant page, so stop vandalising it. Besides, your way misspells download wrong. CBFan 23:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No its not, its a download for African Adventure, its specifically says that, its not vadalism, its fact Read above Triceratops9 23:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is a Zoo Tycoon 2 download. If it was a download for African Adventure, it'd be SPECIFIC for that expansion. It isn't, so it's not a fact. CBFan 23:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok look someone got my password and moved it, I don't know why or how, so please just forget what happened Triceratops9 14:43, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The DDS link towards the bottom of the page links to a long disambiguation page, and it's not obvious which particular link is intended. I think it's the one for DirectDraw Surface, but does anyone with more knowledge of the game know? Teut 14:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am an experienced designer, and have corrected several technical errors in the section. Pico del Teide (talk) 18:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Biomes

[edit]

Whoever continues to add biomes to the list of animals needs to stop, only the biomes the animals are listed in are relevant to the article not the ones the animals are found in outside of the game, and also the names of the animals in the Extinct Animals expansion should be the ones used in the games not the scientific names. Leave it! Triceratops9 (talk) 16:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zoo Tycoon 2: Animals Availiable:

Animals


Bonus Animals:


Those are for ZT1. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jntg4Games (talk • contribs) 12:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, and the Triceratops isn't a bonus animal for the original game like in ZT1. It's a normal animal for the EA expansion and no cheat code is required to adopt it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.169.168 (talk) 21:05, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

[edit]

Zoo Tycoon 2 (Animals) was just recently created. While I would normally prod the article as indiscriminate, the species names as well as the list of endangered species could be very well included here as an alternative. Thoughts? MuZemike 16:12, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and redirected that page to this. Technically it could be deleted as a recreation of deleted material because of this AfD, but the redirect is a cheap and quick solution. ThemFromSpace 20:50, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Section blanking Dino digs (2010-08)

[edit]

Since the original IP address who deleted this section (2010-08-25) was not courteous enough to provide an explanation, I will. Dino digs is an expansion of the original game, not Zoo Tycoon 2, and is listed correctly in that article. Donlammers (talk) 08:51, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to explain...every person knows that...By the way 2020-08??? Farjad0322 (talk) 12:06, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I corrected the date:-) I guess I'm not "every person," because I had to spend time going and looking things up to figure out that the section blanking wasn't vandalism (in my experience, most section blanking by IP addresses IS vandalism). I don't particularly like wasting time because someone is too lazy to explain themselves. Donlammers (talk) 13:00, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. It is vandalism. I just got tangled up in an edit-war because of this. Farjad0322 (talk) 15:25, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unlockable Animals

[edit]

Elasmotherium and the white elephants, gorillas, and lions aren't available in the game. I have searched all over the internet and I only found that those animals were in the game from Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.215.115.161 (talk) 16:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You do know that anyone can edit these articles, right? Even you can edit this site if you want to. There are some idiots that go around posting false information, it's known as vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.130.109 (talk) 22:15, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

EULA error

[edit]

Has anyone ever gotten an error message saying that you must accept the EULA before you can play? Problem is, I DID accept the EULA, and yet I still get the error message every time I try opening ZT2. Josh (talk) 09:52, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Downloads

[edit]

Hello everyone. First of all, I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this, but the Zoo Tycoon 2 message board on GameFAQs is basically dead, so...

Does anyone know where one can download English language versions of the Addax, the holiday theme stuff, etc., now that the ZT2 official website is defunct? Josh (talk) 20:37, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Try zt2downloadlibrary.fandom.com. They’ll probably have it. --Inaturlist Lover (talk) 12:32, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merging the expansion pack articles?

[edit]

Would it be a possible good idea to merge the Zoo Tycoon 2 expansion pack articles into this article? Because I see no particular reason as to say why these would need to be separated. I understand most of them are disk separated, but their relevance is pretty much low compared to the actual game itself, at least in my view.Gabeluna27 (talk) 03:07, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
