Still brief, the sick kitten is a fair bit better but I'm still being kept
busy by him and the rest of my little foster-family. So, back to Petz -- we
have version 1.1.2 of Pet Workshop for you on <a
href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> -- small but good
changes, thanks Nicholas :-) Also I've tweaked my <a
href="/tutorials/LNZPro2tips/">LNZPro 2 tips</a>. By the way, Babyz hexers
might like to use it as an alternative to Resource Hacker -- you can open the
.dll file if you make the dialogue show "choose all files". And peeps, don't
forget to check out the sites on my <a href="/smallislovely/">"small is
beautiful" </a>links page, there are some real gems there.

Just briefly, as I have a sick kitten to deal with at the mo'... <a
href="/tutorials/LNZPro2tips/">LNZPro 2 tips</a> for people who don't know
where to edit the breed bitmap, ID number and name. Also some new links on my
<a href="/smallislovely/">"small is beautiful" </a>links page, and an updated
url for Jillie's Petz Place on my <a href="/links/">main links page.</a>
</p>
<p class="bold">22 June 2005</p>
<p>
LNZPro 2! YESSS! LNZPro is a brilliant tool (of course -- look who made it!)
It edits .pet files as well as your .dog, .cat, .env, .toy, .clo files... Go
get it from <a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>, you
know you <b>need</b> it :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">21 June 2005</p>
<p>
Petza, at version 1.4, will trim the size of family-tree-bloated .petfiles
down to the first 8 generations! You can still see the family tree in Petz
games, but remember that the rest of the tree will be removed in petz with a
long lineage. All the features of the earlier versions are still in place of
course. Go to <a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> to
grab it. Also I have new links on my <a href="/smallislovely/">"small is
beautiful" </a>links page.
</p>
<p class="bold">16 June 2005</p>
<p>
A couple of breedz for Petz 3, 4 and 5 players on my <a

<img src="ReinwolfKirbycat.gif">
</p>
<p class="bold">15 June 2005</p>
<p>
Petza version 1.3 has been temporarily removed. There were some concerns
amongst the petz community as regards the family-tree trimmer; Nicholas hopes
to be able to come up with a solution soon. Meanwhile, the very handy version
1.2 is back up for you, on the usual page :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">13 June 2005</p>
<p>
Hear ye, hear ye!! Petza, at version 1.3, will trim the size of
family-tree-bloated .petfiles now! Go to <a
href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> <b>right away</b>,
and save overbloated female petz from future corruption :-)<br>
Also something new for Babyz players, a Teletubbies TV on the <a
href="/babyz/babyztoyz/">Babyz toyz </a>page.<br>
<img src="petzascreenshot.gif"><br>

<p>
I have for you: another big update to Petza, it's at version 1.1 now! Go to
<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> and grabbie
grabbie. Some new links on my <a href="/smallislovely/">"small is
beautiful" </a>links page. And some updated info on a couple of my <a
href="/tutorials/LNZdetails/">"LNZ breakdown chunks" </a>pages. I should have
mentioned all this yesterday, but Real Life got in the way -- my little Lydoe
was returned to me, the poor little thing had to come back from her new home
through no fault of her own and she's needed plenty of TLC.
</p>
<p class="bold">30 May 2005</p>
<p>
Just a small update, but important to me :-) Some lovely pictures on my <a
href="/giftsa4/">May "gifts from friends"</a> page, and some new links on my
<a href="/smallislovely/">"small is beautiful" </a>links page.
</p>
<p class="bold">29 May 2005</p>
<p>
A big update to Petza! Go to <a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas'
Tools page</a>. Download, install and enjoy! Remember to back up all your petz
before you start fiddling around with them :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">25 May 2005</p>
<p>
small update to Petza; it's a smaller download and you don't need to unzip it.
If your browser corrupts the download, then grab the zipped copy. Also I've
put more explanation on the page which I hope will help people who are
confused, and links to working .exe files for it. It now works with my
modified Babyz exe. Go to <a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools
page</a>. Download, install and gaze with amazement at the result :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">24 May 2005</p>
<p>
Petza is now available for Babyz as well as Petz 3, 4, 5! Go to <a
href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>. Download, install
and adore. The brain-sliders have been re-enabled for small pups and kittens;
remember that in Petz 5 it's your own fault if you corrupt a mother by ageing
only some of her litter..<br>
<img src="PetzaForbabyz.gif">
</p>
<p class="bold">22 May 2005</p>
<p>
The newest Petza toy has more features for Petz 3, 4, and 5. Go to <a
href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>. Download, install
and worship. Remember to remove the earlier versions before installing this
one!! Also new, from me, is a modified Petz II exe which gives brain-slider
users more information. It is available <a href="/madscientist/">on the mad
scientist page</a>.
</p>
<p class="bold">19 May 2005 Part 2</p>
<p>
A Petz II demo which will install and play on Windows ME and XP systems is
available <a href="/madscientist/">on the mad scientist page</a> -- go go to
the same page to download also the Petz II demo fooler, which also works with
Windows XP :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">19 May 2005 Part 1</p>
<p>
The new "update" features now available for Petz 3 non-English and Petz 4! Go
to <a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> -- download,
install, play and then give Nicholas a huge hug -- you know you want to!!<br>
For people who want to edit the Petz 5 Adoption Centre, and AC or case doors,
with Tinker and then share them, <a href="P5rezForAlteringACandDoors.zip">here
is a special Petz 5 rez.dll</a> for you to edit and provide for use with other
Easy-kit users.
</p>
<p class="bold">18 May 2005</p>
<p>
Something special and new for Petz 5 and Petz 3 players! Go see, on <a
href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> -- download it, try
it, gasp in amazement and then kiss Nicholas' feet :-)<br>
<img src="Features1.jpg"><br>
Also now available is the demo-fooler for Petz 3 non-English, on the <a
href="/madscientist/">mad Scientist page</a>, lus a couple of the Petz 3
easy-edit scenes are now also available for <a href="/petz/petzedit/#SCN">Petz
3 International</a>. And, by special request, a stripped-down version of my
Spinosaurus .lnz on <a href="/specials/petz3-5lnz/">P3,4,5 LNZ breedz
page</a><br>
Finally, a couple of new links on my "small is lovely" links page; go see,
they have some interesting stuff :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">09 May 2005</p>
<p>
Okay, lessee, what've I got for you now... Ah yes, some stuff for Babyz, and a
demo-fooler for Petz 3. On the <a href="/madscientist/">mad Scientist
page</a>, you'll find the Petz 3 demo fooler; you should be able to find all
the files that you need, but remember to read the readme files carefully. My
Babyz <a href="/babyz/babyzharem/">Harem Sets page</a> now includes a gold
sparkly dress; sorry it's so slow getting the sets uploaded, I have a bit of a
log-jam here with things that I need and want to do.<br>
<img src="TevynGoldDanceDress.gif"><br>
A tutorial with example on my <a href="/babyz/babyzedit/">Babyz-specific
page</a> for people who are having trouble getting crackers from their own
edited cracker-boxes to show up properly. And my <a
href="/babyz/babyztoyz/">carrot-treat bag</a> is now ported to babyz; my
little types love 'em :-)<br>
<img src="Carrotsbag.gif">
</p>
<p class="bold">07 May 2005</p>
<p>
As before, I'm a bit late writing this What's New -- I keep meaning to write
it once I have a proper upload done, but I've only got bits and pieces up at
present, thanks to Real Life getting in the way :-) Anyway, for now, On the
<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> version 1.1.1 of
Pet Workshop. Also the start of my Babyz Harem clothes, on the <a
href="/babyz/babyzharem/">Harem Sets page</a>. And before anyone gets
outraged, it's just some fun dressing-up stuff, and it's fun to watch them
disco-dancing with jewels in their navels ;-) More to come of course; I hope
to have more game-foolers up tomorrow for Petz as well as more harem clothes
for Babyz.
</p>
<p class="bold">03 May 2005</p>
<p>
I'm a bit late writing this What's New, sorry -- Real Life dragged me from the
computer just as I was writing it. I do have some updates. On the <a
href="/madscientist/">Mad Scientist page,</a> I've grouped together links to
all the game-foolers; we have two new ones, thanks to SuperSwampert67. One is
<a href="/petz/petz1/dogz1fooler/">for Dogz 1</a> -- for which I copied an
o-old P.F.Magic Dogz 1 page, complete with a little old animated dog, an early
use of Shockwave bless 'em :-) The other fooler (plus some easy-edit playscene
kits) is <a href="/petz/petz4/petz4fooler/">for Petz 4</a>. I've also tweaked
the tutorials pages slightly, removed my "tutorialbits" link because I've
distributed the info more logically, made it easier to find the info on
finding a pet's ID, and improved vastly the info on getting Petz II runaways
back. I did write to tell the requester about that, but haven't heard back. If
he's reading this and didn't get my email, then I say "go check out the <a
href="/tutorials/PIIRunawaysHome/">PII Runaways Home info </a>." I'd be glad
to know whether he got his son's pet fixed or not.
</p>
<p class="bold">29 April 2005</p>
<p>
On the <a href="/madscientist/">Mad Scientist page,</a> For People who are
having trouble finding Petz 5, a Petz 5 fooler to keep you going until you can
buy the full game. On the <a href="/sounds/soundsorig/">Sounds page, </a>For
people with dogz-only parts of Petz 3, 4 or 5, there's a bunch of sound files
to enable you to hear all the sounds for dogz-based "cat" breedz. For everyone
who wants to hear persian-cat sounds in their dogz game *LOL*, you'll also
need the persian sounds and the special small "fix"file.
</p>
<p class="bold">27 April 2005</p>
<p>
Just a couple of things; I've re-jigged the menu a bit in my eternal quest to
make it easy to find things. I've altered the intro to the <a
href="/oddballz/oddballzedit/">Oddballz kits pages</a>; I think it's now
obvious that Players should grab the kits so they can have more fun, <b>not
just</b> hexers. For Oddballz hexers, information on getting the maximum
number of individual Transformations in their breedz. For Babyz hexers, I've
uploaded a pre-prepared BabyzRez.dll in the "Easy Babyz" section of the <a
href="/babyz/babyzedit/">Babyz Howtos </a>page. This is the ultra,
<b>ultra</b> easy kit for people who want to use my easy-edit method. It's
more reliable than Resource Hacker :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">26 April 2005</p>
<p>
Woah, quite a large update today, something for most people. Pet Workshop 1.1
is up with some new features! Available as usual from <a

Well, I had loads I wanted to get uploaded this weekend, but Real Life jumped
at me again. I meant to announce yesterday that a couple of great new versions
-- Pet Workshop 1.0.9 and LNZPro version 1.3 -- are now available from <a
href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>. Also updated since
last "what's new" are my sisters and babyz links pages. And for people who
follow my foster-cats' adventures, some new pics etc a new update <a

<p class="bold">18 April 2005</p>
<p>
Tinker version 1.7.1 is now available from <a
href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>. Bugfixes -- you can
now save toyz properly again -- and a new feature.
</p>
<p class="bold">17 April 2005</p>
<p>
Tinker version 1.7 is now available from <a
href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>. Bugfixes and some
new features :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">15 April 2005</p>
<p>
Not the big update I'd hoped for -- it's been a difficult couple of days. But
I do have some Babyz stuff; a couple of howtos on the <a
href="/babyz/babyzedit/">Babyz easy-edit page</a>, they are help with getting
clothes/toyz to show up separately and How make your baby permanently skinny
(or fat) Work with Petz files too of course, but they are aimed at Babyz
hexers. Also four new <a href="/babyz/babyznew/">downloadable babyz</a>,
including a pair that show a radical new way of making hair a little more
natural-behaving.<br>
<img src="Newstyles.gif">
</p>
<p class="bold">13 April 2005 part 2</p>
<p>
The alternative Easy Kit files are now available from my <a
href="/oddballz/oddballzedit/">Oddballz Easy Kits page</a>. Non-hexers can
have a lot of fun with these, just as much as hexers, and if you have an
Easy-kit version of Oddballz installed you will be able to download and use
any Easy-kit files that hexers might want to share :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">13 April 2005 part 1</p>
<p>
Tinker version 1.6 is now available from <a
href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>. Fixes a little
problem with the oddballz palette. I forgot to say that yesterday I also put
the bunny soundfiles on the species sounds page -- previously I had them in
the zips with my downloadable cotton bunny and breedable bunny. Thanks to
Minibyte for pointing that out :-)
</p>
<p class="bold">12 April 2005 part 2</p>
<p>
Updated my <a href="/oddballz/oddballzedit/">Oddballz Easy-Edit packages</a>
so that all filmstrips are external and can be edited with <a

</p>
<p class="bold">12 April 2005 part 1</p>
<p>
Tinker version 1.5 is now available from <a

fantastic news for Oddballz fans -- it'll work with the external FLH/FLM files
in my Easy-edit packages! Three cheers for Nicholas! *grabs Tinker and cuddles
it*
</p>
<p>
<b>11 April 2005</b><br>
Yes, "tomorrow" came and went without the promised update -- the keen-eyed
amongst you, however, will have noticed that I made a large <a
href="/babyzlinks/">babyz links</a> page, put up some lovely <a
href="/flowers/">gifts from people </a>which I'm extremely proud to have,
altered the front page slightly and shifted this "what's new" onto its own
page plus, for those who care, made a partial update on my Real Life <a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160108043537/http://www.stevehornsc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/carolyn/cats.htm"

everything, but I felt it all needed doing so everything else has had to
wait... We resume our regularly scheduled broadcast tomorrow :-)
</p>
<p>
<b>09 April 2005</b><br>
Whee, all the Oddballz external-lnz breedz are now up at the <a
href="/oddballz/oddballzedit/">Oddballz Editing page</a>. I'll be fixing up
the "alternative" lnz files mentioned in the readme files as soon as I can, to
enable players not to have to swap around the Transformation .lnz files too
much. Tomorrow though I hope to have something for petz and Babyz players.
</p>
<p>
<b>08 April 2005</b><br>
Okay, "tomorrow" slipped a bit, and it's not quite as much of an upload as I'd
hoped, but I've been doing a lot of groundwork on the Oddballz Transformations
which should be helpful when I get it all organised, and meanwhile there is
Honker on the <a href="/oddballz/oddballzedit/">Oddballz Editing page</a>
along with a file for you to grab if you're having trouble getting your edits
to show up in the Pig transforms. For people who want to make new <a
href="/babyz/babyztoyz/">babyz toyz</a> from the stuffed man toy, I've made
him show up on the shelf. That's it for today; the weekend <b>should
really</b> see the rest of the Oddballz breedz, plus that collaboration breed
for Petz, plus a special new baby or two for babyz players.
</p>
<p>
<b>06 April 2005</b><br>
I got hijacked by the Babyz Community, so this time it's a special set of <a
href="/babyz/babyzglasses/">babyz glasses</a>, including a "do-it-yourself"
version. No more at the moment, but the rest of the Oddballz easy-edits will
go up tomorrow, truly, also I hope to get a special collaboration breed for
Petz games up before the weekend. You got to give me marks for trying,
anyway!<br>

-- Pet Workshop, a public beta of a work still in progress, make sure you back
up your files before editing of course. At present it edits .dog files, not
all features are enabled and some items will generate bug reports. You can do
great things with it already, though!

A special request available on my <a href="/babyz/babyztoyz/">Babyz Toyz
page</a> -- Babyz bathtub shows up in the changing table cabinet and you can
have several in the game at once, so all your babyz can take a bath at the
same time. Real Life chez Horn is at total pandemonium level, I have two more
cats to care for since the ginger trio left and <a

grief, the middle of February already...

<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas</a> has compiled a great pet
editing helpfile from my LNZ and other information; grab it from either
Nicholas' tools page or the main tutorials page. Apart from that, nothing much
here except for a bit of tidying and a small clarification update on one of
the LNZ chunks. Real Life still going like crazy here.<br>

Nicholas is back from his holidays, so there's a new version each of Tinker
and LNZPro on <a href="/specials/nicholastools/" target="main"
title="Nicholas' tools">Nicholas' Tools</a> page. As for me, the ginger trio
are still filling my time as they convalesce. They'll be leaving me soon,
though; each one has been offered a good new home.

A teeny-tiny update for Babyz hexers -- a "howto" that I'd forgotten about, on
changing the food-blob colour from the jars and bowls when on the spoon. In
the Toy/Clo section of the <a href="/babyz/babyzedit/" target="main"
title="Babyz Editing">Tutorials, Babyz-specific</a>, page. Nothing else -- the
ginger trio have been a bit poorly, have spent the past few days helping them
get better.

Kishi Kat of <a

Light Fantastic</a> site has made a neat tutorial for those who need help with
Tinker. She intends to add to it as time goes by. For now, it's at this <a

Nothing for you today; Nicholas has gone on holiday and I've been settling in
a small, frightened trio of ginger babies...<br>

Hoping to have some things for you later this week, just my own
run-of-the-mill stuff. Nicholas promises that when he gets back he'll try to
add Oddballz support to Tinker, plus he's thought of something else you might
like.
</p>

Ta-da! Babyz support now in the latest Tinker on Nicholas' page, plus a
lovely, simple way of adding new toyz to the Petz 5 toycase. Bliss! The
Oddballz palette is in place, so stay tuned, Oddballz fans. For those who are
interested, Lydoe and the people who came to meet her got on well together, so
now she's off to her <a

Latest Tinker on Nicholas' page -- works with Petz II, 3 and 4 filmstrips also
:-) Must dash, somone's coming to see my little foster-cat Lydoe

<b>14 January 2005 Part 2</b><br>
More on Nicholas' page -- an updated version of Tinker and a fantastic toy
made with his new utility :-)

Today we have a pair of great new utilities! Nicholas Sherlock of <a
href="http://www.geocities.com/silentwolfk/contact.html">Silent Wolf
Kennelz</a> is a programmer who <b>listens</b> -- and what he listened to here
was my plea for a SPR file editor. I had lots of fun beta-testing it, and am
delighted to be hosting it on the <a href="/specials/nicholastools/"
target="main" title="Nicholas' utilities">Nicholas' tools</a> page. This is
for Petz 5 only. But Nicholas has also made a great LNZ-editing tool for us
all, which will edit any LNZ file and extract LNZ files also, including
error-trapping for typoes etc. Brilliant.<br>

Happy New Year!!<br>
Today I'm trying to update this site, but don't expect any exciting downloads
just yet -- all I'm doing is moving things around, a sort of "spring clean",
LOL, although you might find the updated "important information" and "what's
happening here" sections on this front page worth a read. Got some new info in
them you might find interesting. Also I've been given a Star Adopter award,
which is up on my Gifts pages; thanks, Sarah! I should have some new things up
for some of you this coming weekend. I'm also trying to update my real-life
Foster-cats site; this past weekend several of my "babes" went to new
homes...<br>
