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.

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

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

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 :-)

|
|
|
|
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.

A big update to Petza! Go to <a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas'

before you start fiddling around with them :-)

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

remember that in Petz 5 it's your own fault if you corrupt a mother by ageing

only some of her litter..<br>

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.

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.

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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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

|
|
|

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

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

|

|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|

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

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.

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

Today we have a pair of great new utilities! Nicholas Sherlock of <a

|
|
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>
