Description: When Blue Fang created the first Zoo Tycoon, they included graphics for a wooden curb. However, they did not make it available in the Zoo Tycoon menus. Thanks to fern, this wooden curb is now available. It will appear in the Fences menu.

The ".zip" file contains 2 files. The lang999-curbwd.dll file goes in the main Zoo Tycoon folder. It replaces the Zoo Tycoon "placeholder" for a wooden curb purchase tooltip with a meaningful purchase tooltip. Since it has to override the Zoo Tycoon message to do this, the file name is important and is also why the message was not added to the combined ".dll" file, which does not override Zoo Tycoon messages. The curbwd.ztd file can either go in your Zoo Tycoon Updates folder or your Zoo Tycoon dlupdate folder.

NOTE: Instead of using the included lang999-curbwd.dll, the ZT Override dll File at the ZT Designer Guild can be used instead:

The advantage of using that override ".dll" file is it allows one to use fewer ".dll" files for overriding messages. But the Wooden Curb download includes the lang999-curbwd.dll just in case the ZT Override dll File is not available.

Additional info:

curbwd.ztd       fences-curbwd.cfg         

lang999-curbwd.dll Do not combine or rename this dll

NOTE: There was a Snowy Highland Rock that was available at some other web site that was created March 16, 2002 in a file named snowyhr.ztd. This file was not made correctly and included copies of Zoo Tycoon fence files, including icon information of the wooden curb. If it is used at the same time as this download, the icon in the Fences menu might say "Icon Needed". This does not hurt anything. One way to avoid this if you have both downloads and if you have a dlupdate folder in your Zoo Tycoon folder is to put snowyhr.ztd in your Updates folder and curbwd.ztd in your dlupdate folder.
