What I'm going to try and do here is to explain to you all in more depth what
|
||
|
|
all those mysterious parts of a .LNZ file are for, what they do, and how to
|
||
|
|
change them. Once you understand it, you will be able to make a breedfile
|
||
|
|
that's almost any shape and have it breed reasonably true, or a Babyz of any
|
||
|
|
shape, or a weird and wonderful Oddballz breed...

The .LNZ file, or "Linez" file, is the core data that the game reads when it is
|
||
|
|
making a pet from a breedfile or a baby from the main Resource dll file. You
|
||
|
|
will also find .LNZ sections used for the simpler mice or grubz, also in or for
|
||
|
|
a few toyz, such as the Auto-rolling Ball or milk bottle. These .LNZ files work
|
||
|
|
the same way as the ones for Breedz and Babyz, but because they are associated
|
||
|
|
with simpler behavours we are more limited in what we can do with them that will
|
||
|
|
actually show up in the game.

Clothing files have a .CLZ section which is very, very similar to .LNZ files.
|
||
|
|
ball-covering clothes (shirts etc) make use of Paint Ballz, and hats etc make
|
||
|
|
use of Add Ballz. If you want to insert a clothing style into a breedz or babyz
|
||
|
|
.LNZ (for instance, to make the antlers permanent), be aware that you can't just
|
||
|
|
copy/paste and change the ball numbers. You will also need to do a bit of
|
||
|
|
fiddling -- for instance, there are fewer columns in the .CLZ add ball sections
|
||
|
|
than there are in the .LNZ ones.

It has come to my notice that many people don't find how the .LNZ file works and
|
||
|
|
what the various programmers' comments, mnemonics, keywords and Key Texts are,
|
||
|
|
as blindingly obvious as I do; so I'm writing more detailed notes here in hopes
|
||
|
|
that it will help.

Now for the meat of the innards (cackle snurk) ;-) I'm breaking the whole thing
|
||
|
|
down into chunks.<br>
|
||
|
|
<a href="LNZ1st.php">The first chunk, here,</a><br>
|
||
|
|
contains several areas of the .LNZ which are not present in all breedz. These
|
||
|
|
seem to confuse people most<br>
|
||
|
|
<a href="LNZ2nd.php">The second chunk, here,</a><br>
|
||
|
|
contains the major areas which are common to all breedz.<br>
|
||
|
|
NOTE that Bodyarea numbers matter for some issues (see the [Add Ball] section in
|
||
|
|
the 2nd Chunk).<br>
|
||
|
|
Here are the Bodyarea numbers for <a href="BabyzBodyAreaNumbers.php">Babyz</a>
|
||
|
|
and for <a href="CatzBodyAreaNumbers.php">Catz</a> and for <a
|
||
|
|
href="DogzBodyAreaNumbers.php">Dogz</a><br> <a href="LNZ3rd.php">The third
|
||
|
|
chunk, here,</a><br>
|
||
|
|
is all about areas which you can insert into your breed even though they are not
|
||
|
|
always actually seen inside an original P.F.Magic breedfile.<br>
|
||
|
|
April 29, I've fixed up some typos in this third chunk -- sorry if any of them
|
||
|
|
confused you before.<br>
|
||
|
|
<a href="LNZ4rd.php">The fourth chunk, here,</a><br>
|
||
|
|
is all about areas which are entirely specific only to Oddballz.

Okay, away off now and make some fantastic new breedz or babyz. Hexing is fun,
|
||
|
|
enjoy it!<br>
