- Food Courts

Ah, our first lesson. Let's begin, shall we? Today, I'll be teaching you how to construct a clean, nice-looking food court, for all those guests that starve every five steps.

Start by drawing in a fence. It doesn't have to be in any particular length or breadth.

Posted Image

Fill it in with a nice path. Two kinds would look good. Separate each section with a blank space, like below.

Posted Image

Drop in a few food and drink stands. Don't shove each kind in. It just makes the court look cluttered. Four is a good amount. Put them in on the inner bit of path.

Posted Image

Draw a single strip of path (preferably of a different kind from the previous ones) from the buildings to the outer path.

Posted Image

A large centerpiece of rocks and plants wouldn't be too bad.

Posted Image

Okay, since my food court is a coastal themed one, I'll decorate the blank space between the two kinds of paths with tussac grass, and water, other plants and logs.
Also, I've added some picnic tables at this point. They're arranged somewhat randomly, but still allowing for comfort when sitting. A fence has been added by the stands.

Posted Image

Ah, all done! In the finished court, I've added some Queen Palm trees, some extra fences and a few more picnic tables and benches.

Some extra shots -

And as always, don't forget to have fun and use your imagination! After all, it is your zoo!

Author's Notes:

I've rigged my ZT2 Marine Mania demo to be able to use most of Sophie's epic downloads. And some others too. xD

Bye, and please reply! :D

Thanks Iben!

And yeah, I did. But not with another demo. :P

I still had the base files from my full game, so I merged the entity files, script files, etc. That's why there's a Parasaurolophus in there. xD

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Mostly because this is an S&T. :P

Also, the format is similar to most S&Ts.

And, I just love the S&T forums! :D
