Well Hiro add your thoughts in the threads there if you're a member
First off I would like very much to thank both Brad and Marco for their beautiful creations as wothout them this would not be possible.
To give you a little background.
Last December my nephew got me hooked on playing zoo tycoon and in March 2004 I joined the forums at Zoo Admin. I'm a download junkie and have almost every user created item I could find....lol. Then I discovered and learned how to use the ZT editor A.P.E. And to answer a question before it is asked - I've not used the RCT editor yet so have no idea if they are similar. I began creating my own downloads to download...lol. My job takes me away from home for sometimes months at a time so in August I bought a laptop and then found RCT2 one day in the store and was looking at the pictures on the box to see what could be made for Zoo Tycoon. I do this all the time by the way I have bought games just to extract the images for things to make...lol. After I loaded RCT2 and was exploring I found the scenerio/landscape editor and I was in creator heaven. I could build my own buildings and there was a lot of stuff I could use for statues etc. Well with my job I'm not always working and can go for a month or 2 without work. I have been home for about a month now and have been playing with the editor and designed buildings for both Zoo Admin and thier affiliate site Zookeepers Lounge. One of my fellow designers sudjested I try the RCT object editor instead of using the landscape editor all the time and gave me a few site names that eventually led me here to the Mart. What do I think ??? Awesome site with awesome people and the most beautiful downloads. When I came accross the LOTR downloads I had to load the scenerios 1 by 1 to look at the stuff and lost my breath from the start. I knew I had to have some of this stuff for Zoo and a lot of members at ZA have been requesting LOTR material for their zoos in the wish threads.
I contacted both Brad and Marco to ask for their consent to convert their building elemts for Zoo Tycoon and they have said yes. So without boring you any further here is a screenshot of Phase 1. The release date is set for sometime in Janurary due to the extensive programing involved for the buildings.
Hmmmm!!!! can't post screens here like i can at ZA so click the link below to see the screenshot.

I hope I can do Brad and Marco's creations justice for Zoo Tycoon. To both of you, Again thank you for permitting me the privladge of converting your Works of Art.
