To play with her online, <a href="/phantarella/">click here</a>. You'll need

|
|
the <a href="PetzPlayer.exe">Petz player plug-in (click)</a>, and
|
||
|
|
the latest browsers won't support that So unless you already have Netscape,
|

|
|
you also need to download <a href="Netscape4InstallFiles.zip">Netscape
|
||
|
|
Commander 4 (click)</a>. Unzip and install Netscape, it won't affect any
|
||
|
|
of your other browsers. Choose to install the included cosmo Player if it
|
||
|
|
asks, because then you'll be able to play with the Catz 1 <a href="/petz/dream/">Catz World </a>! Then double-click on the Player to

install it and you'll be able to play with Phantarella.</p>

<p>This is an archive of all the items that I have ever hex-edited or
|
||
|
|
converted for the various P.F.Magic Petz, Oddballz and Babyz games. It also
|
||
|
|
includes my stuff for Petz 5 which was created in 2002 by Studio Mythos and
|
||
|
|
is in the same style as the older games. The websites for these games are
|
||
|
|
now gone -- the new Dogz, Catz etc games which you see at <a href="http://www.petz.com/" target="_top">Ubisoft's Petz </a>site, and
|
||
|
|
the various girly games for Nintendo DS at <a href="http://www.babyz.net/" target="_top">their "Babyz.net" </a>site are in no way similar to the
|
||
|
|
original Petz etc games and are not covered in my tutorials. I also do not
|
||
|
|
have downloads for any Ubisoft games created from 2006 onwards. All that I
|
||
|
|
have for you of those later games is my <a href="/petz6/" target="main" title="Catz and Dogz 2006">Info Only</a> page, which may be useful
|
||
|
|
for anyone wanting to "hex" or modify the PC versions of those games.</p>

|

If you want one of my breedz, please don't ask me to convert between dogz
|

|
|
and catz games -- instead, download the relevant package from my "Cat
|
||
|
|
species in dogz" or "Dog species in catz" pages, read the instructions
|
||
|
|
carefully and install it. That will fool the game, and you can then download

|
|
and play with my various species etc.</p>

have no objection to anyone putting my breedz up elsewhere, provided that

you put an acknowledgement also that they are my work. The same applies to

my tutorials, although a link instead to my tutorials page would be a better

Windows XP, Windows 2000 (or NT), Windows ME users, and people who have some
|
||
|
|
update to their system that is beyond mine -- if you have some problem with
|
||
|
|
my breedz that I cannot duplicate on either my Windows 95 or my husband's
|
||
|
|
plain Windows 98 system, then I cannot help you. If I am able to duplicate
|
||
|
|
the problem, then there is something wrong with the file that I can (I hope)
|
||
|
|
fix and of course I shall do my best to do so. If I am not able to duplicate
|
||
|
|
it, then there is nothing wrong with the file and it is some mysterious
|
||
|
|
problem related to an incomprehensible alchemy between your operating system
|
||
|
|
and/or game and my file so I cannot fix it. Sorry. The only thing I can
|
||
|
|
suggest is a possible fix for you to do for yourself; you'll find it <a href="/crashingxp/" target="_top">here</a>. Windows XP with SP2 has
|
||
|

special new quirks, woop-de-doo. WinXP is <b>bleurgh</b> and <b>Vista --

AAAARGH!!</b> *hugs nice comfy Win95 setup, warts an' all*</p>

|
<p>It came to my attention a while ago that there were Petz 5 versions of
|
||
|
|
some of my breedz at Nicky's Petzfriends site, and that those versions have
|
||
|
|
wrong ID numbers etc. Nicky and I eventually reached an agreement which
|
||
|
|
should fix any problems that people may have with this. Read <a href="/petzfriendsite/">here</a> if you would like to know more about
|
||
|
|
it, and about how to get your pets to breed if you downloaded one of the
|
||
|
|
"conversions" from her site.<br>
|
||
|
|
Please note that you <b>do not need to convert</b> any of my breedz to Petz
|
||
|
|
5, I make them all available for that game myself. I shall not convert
|
||
|
|
anyone else's breedz, I do not have the time, but I have "howtos" up for you
|
||
|
|
to try or you can ask for help on the various forums.</p>
|

|
|
|

<p>Mac users (or anyone else with this problem) if you download files and
|

|
|
get gibberish appearing in your browser, ending up with a corrupted file
|
||
|
|
when you try to save it, try either downloading with a download manager or
|

|

look in your browser's cache and copy it directly from there. The copy

|

I checked through this again, and a lot of stuff has changed, so this is the
|
||
|
|
latest state of play:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="green">There's a bunch of odd bits and pieces that I need to
|
||
|
|
finish off, but I have no idea when I'll get the time to do so. Foolers for
|
||
|
|
all of the games are now available at my Boardwalkerz site.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="green">The Oddballz-to-petz line -- still got a bunch of
|
||
|
|
Transformations to do. I intend to put them together as two or three more
|
||
|
|
all-in-one breedz. These will probably be the last "full" breedz I shall
|
||
|
|
ever make, plus one breed that I promised years ago and will probably never
|
||
|
|
be finished, for someone who has already left the Petz Community 8-}</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="green">I need to finish off the LNZ breakdown chunks, with special
|
||
|
|
attention to the Oddballz info which has been sadly neglected. I also need
|
||
|
|
to gather together various other little howtos, and the breakdown of a .pet
|
||
|
|
and .baby file, and make them as comprehensible as possible (hah!) so y'all
|
||
|
|
can fix petz, game-crashes etc.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="green">I no longer need to fix the oversize-pet corruptions,
|
||
|
|
thanks to Nicholas' Tools. Yay for Petza!</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="green">I've continued to tidy up my tutorials pages; I really hope
|
||
|
|
that people can find things now. The actual tutorials are mostly written
|
||
|
|
some time ago and newer available tools etc (such as Tinker, LNZPro 2, my
|
||
|
|
easy-edit kits) have made things easier, so some of the tuts are more
|
||
|
|
complicated than they should be, but they are mostly still valid.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="green">Through lack of time, and because I don't breed or show
|
||
|
|
petz, I no longer research 2nd-gen problems, so it's up to all you guys and
|
||
|
|
gals to find out any new quirks in that area.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="green">I also do not, and never shall, make "exclusives" for
|
||
|
|
individuals. Everything that I make is downloadable for all. To be honest, I
|
||
|
|
cannot understand this modern fashion for exclusivity. My ethos has always
|
||
|
|
been to make information and game modifications free for all.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="green">Real Life and a steady stream of sweet, vulnerable
|
||
|
|
foster-cats and kitties clamour for my attention almost constantly. Hexing
|
||
|
|
and these games have to come second, and can only be done in small snatches
|
||
|
|
of free time. So I don't take breed-making requests any more, I just don't
|
||
|
|
have the time. Really, the answer has to be "no" to requests. However,
|
||
|
|
anyone can try it nowadays, as there is a choice of several tools, including
|
||
|
|
LNZPro and Pet Workshop, as well as the utilities at MK&C, Resource Hacker,
|
||
|
|
and my own Easy-edit packages.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="green">There are lots of good hexers out there on the Internet,
|
||
|
|
some of whom are kind-hearted or will do requests, so if you cannot bear to
|
||
|
|
try hexing yourself, just ask around the various message-boards and forums.
|
||
|
|
Look in my links pages for some forums that you can start with. I know the
|
||
|
|
links pages are badly out of date as of December 2006, but I don't have time
|
||
|
|
to fix them right now.</p>

needed to get interested in site making. Of her original design all that is

left is the calculation of graphic sizes on the breedz pages -- left to
|
||
|
|
myself, the graphics would have been all different sizes! Her original
|
||
|
|
design was beautiful, but I couldn't see it in my favourite browser so in
|
||
|
|
the end it had to go. But I am very grateful for her work, as without it I

might never have repaired this site when we moved to the new server.</p>
