[cCompatibleAnimals] section in animal configuration

[Jay]

Usually the configuration for an animal made for ZT includes a [cCompatibleAnimals] section. The [cCompatibleAnimals] section says what other animals this animal dislikes and what animals this animal tolerates. This section can include animal dll IDs, animal internal names (APE IDs), family IDs, and genus IDs. In the case of internal names, one of the first 3 characters has to be a letter in order for ZT to recognize it as an internal name. The lines in the [cCompatibleAnimals] section are in pairs. For example, the first pair of lines in the [cCompatibleAnimals] section for the Bengal Tiger are:
v = 5200
v = -20

5200 is the family ID for "Primitive Ungulate". Since "-20" is a negative number, that means the tiger does not like any animal in the "Primitive Ungulate" family. But to see if a specific animal is tolerated, one has to look for 3 things in this section: the animal's ID, the animal's family ID, and the animal's genus ID. As an example, we will look at whether or not the Bengal Tiger tolerates other tigers or itself. The configuration for the Bengal Tiger includes "cNameID = 5007" (Bengal Tiger), "cFamily = 5206"(Cat), and "cGenus = 5107" (Tiger). 5107 is not in the Bengal Tiger's [cCompatibleAnimals] section, but 5206 and 5007 are. These are the pairs of lines we see in the section for those:
v = 5206
v = -20
...
v = 5007
v = 20

The "-20" for 5206 says that the tiger does not like any cats by default. But the "20" cancels out the "-20". So, although the tiger does not like cats by default, it will not care one way or another if another Bengal Tiger is added to the exhibit. ZT might care about how many are in the exhibit, but it will not care based on this section. When APE and the original APExp are used to create an animal based on the tiger, these lines are copied into the new animal's configuration. But that makes the animal not like itself because the new animal no longer uses the 5007 ID. It uses an 8-character APE ID instead. The Uca Editing Guide talks about how to correct this, but what it says is not the correct way. The guide wants to have the animal like itself. But as can be seen above, the animal should not like or dislike itself. If an animal was made to like itself instead, that can cause ZT to give a smile when another is added to the exhibit, even when the Zookeeper Recommendations says there are too many animals in the exhibit. When I made APExp 3.2, I got around this by changing the 5007 in the above pair of lines to the 5107 genus ID. That way the tiger does not like other cats but will tolerate other tigers, including other user made tigers. I did not use that approach for every animal in APExp 3.2, though, because some animals have the genus ID in this section instead of the family ID. In that case, I had to remove the genus ID pair of lines and the cNameID pair of lines. So the outcome is still the same: the animal will not like nor dislike itself, as intended for any animal made for ZT.

When making a new animal for ZT, a designer has to decide what other animals their animal will dislike and what other animals their animal will tolerate. In order to help with that for the animals that come with ZT, the rest of this topic shows the animal's ID, habitat, family ID, genus ID, and internal name for the animals that come with ZT or were available as official downloads. When referencing the Yeti in a [cCompatibleAnimals] section, one would use the internal name rather than the 19000 name ID, since nearly all user made animals have a 19000 name ID. But when possible, it is better to use genus IDs and family IDs in a [cCompatibleAnimals] section instead of name IDs and internal names, since that will work for new animals made in the future as well.
