Changing the starting digsites

Hello, was curious on how to change the starting digsites? From the original three (Judith river group A, Hell creek formation A, & Morison Formation A) to any random of the digsites, I've seen videos of people starting at any of the 9 sites but never could figure out what configurations to change.

I just beat JPOG for the first time ever! :D

It was awesome! The Jurassic World Evolution series has a special place in my heart, and the people who made me aware of it (TheGamingBeaver and BestInSlot) had previously praised JPOG highly which is what got me to buy the game. It’s been in my backlog of games to get to for a while, but I’ve finally gotten around to giving it a real shot and it was everything I hoped it would be!

I love how it feels like JWE if it came out on the PS2 (which was my console of choice), which is exactly the impression I had of it beforehand. The graphics are just so charming, and I can tell that a lot of love went into the animations, voice acting, and mechanics. I especially enjoyed how the actual “Operation Genesis” part of the game allows for a lot of replay ability, since you can’t have every dinosaur on one island without cheat codes.

Overall, I ended up with T-Rex, Spino, Corythosaurs, Ouranosaurs, Albertosaurs, Ankylosaurs, Pachycephalosaurs, Acrocanthosaurs, and Styracosaurs! This is a 8.5/10 game for me, and I am definitely going to be making another 5-star island very soon! What do you all think of JPOG?

JPOG on Winlator

Hello I've been trying to get JPOG to run on my odin 2 pro. First I tried the ps2 version but I cannot get rid of the graphical glitches. So I've gotten winlator and figured out how to get a few games like tresspasser to run but i cannot get JPOG pc version to work. I've tried the abandonware version and also the internet archive version that doesn't require install. Either way they both just open to a black screen then immediately close. Only when I try to the archive version I get a message that states failed to load graphics or visuals please run setup.exe and configure settings, which that setup.exe does nothing when I try to run it. Does anyone have any experience with winlator or advice on how to fix this? Kinda lost I am new to winlator. Any help would be appreciated !

How do I remove jpog build limit on PC?

I've edited the constant files so I could have unlimited dinos, but now I have a over crowed park and not enough building material to contain/feed them. Is the build limit also in the constant files?

Looking for assistance on fslHunt.ini file

I was reading up on how you can adjust some of the .ini files to have some really cool features in it. I would like to have the ability to have all available fossil grounds to utilize, but I don't want them all at once. I want to be able to unlock a few at a time and then only once I reach 4 stars (or 5 if it is possible) to obtain them all. I have tried editing the strings starrating[#] = # but I either get all of them unlocked by 3 stars or only able to unlock 5 max. So I am looking for how to adjust or rewrite the .ini code to this setup:

Starting out 0 stars: 1 Unlocked Region
1 star: 3 Regions
2 stars: 5 Regions
3 stars: 7 Regions
4 stars: 9 Regions

So basically have one unlocked region to start with, and then every star be able to 2 more regions until I have them all. For now, I am just playing where each new fossil team costs a lot of money so I have to work for each available team and use them wisely.

Day/Night cycle in JPOG

Some poking around in the mission files has led to this: a fully functioning day/night cycle for JPOG; something long thought to not be possible (granted only in Site B mode). We have full control of the weather and can choose which state is loaded in, the order it's loaded in and how long it lasts. Here's the proof of concept:

https://youtu.be/1SE4asxIuKA?si=j_-JODBnkWa6bLnc

I made the weather intervals 30 seconds for viewing purposes. We can also add randomness to this cycle as well:

https://youtu.be/HVlvX76Ks94?si=eeBZLiDpMaJDKPX1

In that example the "night" weather is a random chance of light rain, a thunderstorm, or a tornado; the tornado can be edited out and its slot can be modified into a clear night weather. Because there's a music track assoicated with the tornado weather, we can even have the game play a slow theme to accompany the calm night air ("A Tree for my Bed" perhaps?)

Since this cycle is attached to the weather, dinosaurs and guest behavior can be influenced. We can edit dinosaurs to get sleepy towards the afternoon(the old heatwave) and evening (light rain).

I'm still testing to see what else can be done but expect a download for the template soon, possibly a full mod later on (I'll need time to edit the skyboxes and lighting for the new times of day).

JPOG finally has a paddock gate!

Over the past few days fellow JPOG fan Who D Matt and I have done some digging and we've managed to get a semi functioning fence gate into the game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTAHcylwnXA

From my testing, an object attached to a fence still maintains collision from said fence piece; however, it seems this collision isn't made as well as the fence pieces. If you drive the land cruiser into it, abandon it and then jump back into it the game pushes you through to the other side. This allows the jeep to go through multiple stretches of fence. Dinosaurs don't seem to be able to clip through in this manner. Previously, any other attempts at a gate mod required the use of avoidance beacons to keep dinosaurs away; this isn't the case with this.

Here's the download if you'd like to try it out:

Hope everyone enjoys it!

justice for depressed carcharodontosaurus

When i modified site b to be less restrictive and let me place any building that i want, i decided to make an abandoned park. To get that abandoned look, i needed the pathways to be dirty. ALL OF THEM. So i let guests in the park and made them have a miserable time and make the pathways dirty. I messed around and made a safari adventure in the carcharo enclosure and let it destroy cars and eat guests. I saw it having a hard time hunting a certain guest, Larry. Larry had made the carcharo so frustrated to the point where it also tried to get him from 3 ROWS OF FENCES. When Larry was eventually rescued, the carcharo sat near a fence and did nothing, like nothing at all. Didnt react to sedatives, helicopters, safari cars bumping into it, anything. Since the carcharo was so miserable and lacking motivation to live, i had to put it down. These cruel guests did not care at all about the carcharo. These sellfish people only cared about getting out of the park and about the pathways. WE NEED JUSTICE FOR DEPRESSED CARCHARODONTOSAURUS. Whenever you find a Larry in your park, trap him, place a hatchery and release a carcharodontosaurus and let it eat him. After that activate the lethal gene if you dont need it anymore.

#JusticeForDepressedCarcharodontosaurus

(I think that trapping the guests in the park is not enough, im thinking of feeding them to the carnivores and also letting the herbivores terrorize them)

Music issues

I’ve just got the Pc version and when I’ve opened it there is no music.

I’ve found a link from a previous post and downloaded the music again and replaced the files

I have 32 files in the music folder

I then saw something relating to the intro.bik file which I have but I can’t open the file.

I’ve tried to find a replacement file but the one provided here was from megalinks which is no longer in use.

Any suggestions??

I just want the full experience and nostalgia

Thanks

Crashing

Im currently running jpog with a few mods in my game. microceratops, euoplo, maia, hadro, and compy from ncm mod and apato and diplo from the forgotten, I also have the legacy dream buildings and trees in my game. For some weird reason, my game continues to crash fairly quicky, especially when I put an iguanodon in. I have the setup on 32 bit. Any possible fix for this because previously I was able to run my game normally without crashing at all with all of this. This didnt really start happening until I put the dje mod constant.ini in my game.

Does anyone know about the JPOG: Material Library?

I've been looking through the files and found a TML format. I looked on a website and it mentioned the Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis Material Library format.

What I found on the website:

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis Material Library

We know that one TML format is Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis Material Library. We have not yet analyzed in detail what these files contain and what they are used for. We're working on it.

I miss this game

I used to own JP:OG on the PS2 after my mom bought it for me for a birthday. Unfortunately when I was in high school my home got robbed and I never had it since. It pains me to even look at how much it'd probably cost to buy a new copy

change character in object interface

Hi, there.

I come into idea if it is possible to change the character icon/dialogue in the structure interface. Let's say for example if you can replace Ellie Sattler in carnivore feeder for dr. Henry Wu, which file is respective for this edit? I suppose there should be some lines in structure files that indicate the used character icon. If speaking of dialogue, probably just replacing the audio recordings is enough. Can you help?

(Ps2) how to start with a dig site that isn’t Judith River group A?

Went back to my ps2 to play JPOG (because I don’t have access to my pc atm also felt like playing older games) and since you can only have 3 dog sites of dinos, you generally start with Judith dig site A already unlocked, however, I know if you generate an island with all the sliders to max and mountains to zero then you start with the Morrison Formation A dig site instead

I was curious to know on what others there are and if possible how to start with Hell Creek Formation A? I can’t find anything online about this (not even about the Morrison formation A start, maybe this is still a secret people haven’t figured out yet?)

crashing on windows 11

i know this was an issue on windows 10 as well

used to have it modded but i haven't found the specific mod im looking for yet

it was this huge mod that completely revives the game into modern era and I think it addressed the crashing issue too iirc

The best version of JPOG online?

I currently got two version of JPOG from mod sites and abandonware, but both of those have problems that annoy me.

The stretched aspect ration of 4:3 to 16:9 messes up the mouse really really bad and also the graphics are very stretched, sadly i cannot seem to get my Xbox controller to run with it which would make both of these not so bad.

Does anybody have a version that fixxes that?

im also on a 1440p display but i do not know if that plays a role with that, i also did setup the resolution in the Option file.

I really hope somebody can help me out here i would greatly apprechiate it.
