"an animal was ...EATEN! (or just attacked : ) would be nice if we could differentiate the failure message depending on whether the eaten event was viewed by a guest or not..."
- Unknown Zoo Tycoon 2 developer
This is an attempt at restoring a scrapped scenario from Zoo Tycoon 2, which involved putting both savannah herbivores and carnivores together in the same habitat.
The following code, except for Microsoft's work (e.g. worldcampscen4.dat and worldcampscen4.jpg), is available under the GNU General Public License.
Either take the latest release or build your own .z2f and put the file in your root directory of your Zoo Tycoon 2 installation.
The mod might not work with all versions of Zoo Tycoon 2.
| Expansion* | Status |
|---|---|
| Zoo Tycoon 2 |   |
| Endangered Species | |
| African Adventure | |
| Marine Mania |   |
| Extinct Animals |   |
* Except for beta releases, this includes the installation of all prior expansions.
In order to properly display the scenario preview image, put worldcampscen4.jpg in the following sub-directory in the root directory of your Zoo Tycoon 2 installation: maps/scenario.
Alternatively you may add it to your .z2f but don't compress the jpg file. Castor versions before 4.2.1 do not support no-compression addition to .z2f archives.
This mod adds in a cut scenario under the The Globe campaign series, it is the last one in this campaign (fourth in beta 1).
- Check if 6 savannah herbivores and 4 savannah carnivores are in the same habitat.
- Check if a savannah herbivore has been attacked and killed.
- Check if a guest has witnessed the attack.
- Check if a 4 months have passed with enough savannah animals sharing the same habitat

A vast majority of Zoo Tycoon 2 mods are either .z2f or .zip archives, this mod is no different. You can use Microsoft Windows' own file zipper to create zips.
CAUTION: Other zipping programs such as 7-Zip or WinRAR manually compress the .zip archives that Zoo Tycoon 2 does not support. In most cases, they can be read except a few file formats. You'll need to do extra steps if you want to exclude some files from being fully compressed.
Alternatively, you can use Castor to build mods. Simply use the command
castor buildor if you want to debug and attach Zoo Tycoon 2 to your console output
castor serveCAUTION: Only Castor version 4.2.1 or higher supports adding the jpg scenario preview image, because it needs to be added as an uncompressed file in order to function properly.
