Description: This allows the maps for Zoo Tycoon's scenarios to be used in freeform mode. In CC and in MM with all official downloads, this will add 45 entries to ZT's Freeform selection screen. It will be fewer entries in the original ZT and DD. The names for these freeform entries are the same names as for the scenarios so it is obvious which maps they are. But these freeform maps will work the same as most other freeform maps instead of working like the scenarios.

To see the generic description for these freeform maps in ZT's Freeform selection screen, LANG--ZTCDD.dll dated October 13, 2021 or newer is needed.

If you set up your ZT to recognize a "hacks" folder, then put scn-freeformmaps.ztd in that "hacks" folder. Otherwise if your main ZT folder already has a "dlupdate" folder, put scn-freeformmaps.ztd in that "dlupdate" folder. Otherwise put scn-freeformmaps.ztd in ZT's "Updates" folder.

NOTE: If you save a zoo based on one of these freeform maps, you will have to have the file scn-freeformmaps.ztd in one of Zoo Tycoon's folders when you load that saved zoo in the future. Because of this, it is recommended to keep scn-freeformmaps.ztd in a "hacks" folder, even though this is not a hack. The topic for the Developer Menu Hack gives instructions on how to set up ZT to use a "hacks" folder:
