zt2 file is a renamed zip file, so can easily be extracted.Īnd information about the file structure and how to edit and modify the files is also widely documented. The original game includes 100+ animals, which have often been modified heavily by end users, but there are also many texture packs created by users from scratch which are public domain in many websites (often easily found by searching for zt2 on google).
These meshs and textures are extremely high quality and would be a fabulous way of adding in large numbers of new animals, including a massive number of dinosaurs. There are a very large number of freely modifiable/distributable meshes and textures (including animals (both living and extinct) and plants) using the Zoo Tycoon 2 format (zt2).
Then we would have access to fabulous meshes which would really enhance the wildlife in minetest. Would it be possible to create a script which would automatically convert from Zoo Tycoon 2 (zt2) format into a minetest mod.
