<!-- Latest Stuff --------------------------------------------------------->
<p class="big purple"><b id="NEW">Where to find latest "Howto"s etc</b><br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p class="big">Usually the newest items are at the top of the relevant
section -- Petfiles (for editing the actual pet files), Breedz main (for
major breedz tutorials), Breedz info (for important information --
variations, 2nd-gens, etc), Breedz bits (for all the odds and ends, such as
ears and tails etc), Copy/Pasties, Scene/toy/clo (for scenes, toyz,
clothing, and Doors-and-mice easy-edit packages and "howto"s). Some things
are a little different, though...</p>
<p><span class="big">Go to <a href="/tutorials/LNZdetails/">my LNZ breakdown
chunks</a><br>
for my latest delvings into the guts of hexing.</span><br>
will always contain my latest information on the .lnz files as and when I
have the time to write my notes as clearly as possible for you<br>
<span class="big">Go to <a href="/tutorials/tutorials/">my main tutorial
page</a><br>
for the stuff that doesn't fit anywhere or is relevant to other games
also,</span><br>
such as how to fix some problems in ResHacked files. This will always
contain my latest tips and bits of information about everything else I can
think of, which doesn't fit neatly in specific Babyz, Petz or Oddballz
tutorials pages, as and when I think of it or have the time to write it down
for you.</p>
<p><span class="big">NOTE 1:</span> You can use the information that's in my
hexing tutorials for Petz 4 to help you to hex-edit in Petz 5. The files are
basically the same, with only a few minor differences which I cover in my
converting "howto". I promise you, you don't need fresh tutorials for
Petz 5, although I have done my best to update all my older ones anyway. All
the newer Petz "howtos" are for Petz 5 as well as the earlier games --
except for filmstrip editing. In Petz 5 the filmstrips need to be split into
individual frames, which means that filmstrip-based toyz editing and making
clothes show up on the shelf as objects not already somewhere in the game is
not a sane thing to do by hand in Petz 5. You need a special tool
such as <a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Tinker</a> for that.</p>
<p><span class="big">NOTE 2:</span> Hex-painting and the creating of hexed
litterz is usually -- and up until I released info on petfile editing was
always -- done by hex-editing a breedfile without renaming it, and adopting
pets from the edited breed. If you want to "hex-paint" by editing an
individual pet, then that seems like a lot of effort for very little return
-- but if you want to do it, take a look at one of my advanced "howtos" on
pet editing, in the "petfiles" section of this page. Or, as of the year
2005, grab LNZPro from my "Nicholas' Tools" page -- you can edit pet files
with that now.</p>
<p><span class="big">NOTE 3:</span> Several of my breed-hexing "howto"s
contain example breedz. These breedz just happen to be the ones that I was
checking my facts with as I wrote the relevant tutorial, so I popped them
into the zip. I usually work with Petz 3 (it's fast to load) or Petz 4 (it
has good error messages and is fairly quick to load), so the breedfiles are
likely to be for one of those games. You are hexers, or else you wouldn't
be interested in my "howto"s and tutorials, would you? So my theory was that
if you want to see my results in action, you can easily either copy the .lnz
into the appropriate breed in your chosen version of the game, or you can
convert the breed to that version for your own use. It appears that this has
simply muddled people; sorry about that. I've been intending to convert all
of them, therefore, and post them on the <a href="/petz/tutbreedz/">
"tutorial examples" </a>page. This is very low on my list of priorities
just now, though!</p>

<p class="big"><a href="/tutorials/yarntailcolour/">Changing the tail colour

<p><span class="big">NOTE 1:</span> You will notice in various places I say
that Petz 5 SPR filmstrip files are not editable. Individually, by hand,
this is true; the filmstrips have to be chopped into individual frames for
editing, and they are even more difficult and time-consuming to split apart
by hand than the filmstrip-sections of earlier games. I have not yet written
up a "howto" for it -- and now I never shall, because there is no point,
LOL! Tinker is now available for the task, available from my "Nicholas'
tools" page, and wannabe filmstrip editors can make a whole range of great
toyz etc without the drudgery :-) Really all my filmstrip-editing tutorials
have now become redundant, useful only to hexing purists and historians...
They will have served their purpose in filling the gap while no tool was
available, and in giving the programmers Jonathan Grinshpan (of Oddballz
Eggz Scrambler fame) and Nicholas (of Tinker fame) handy information for
tool-making.</p>
<p><span class="big">NOTE 2:</span> Some files -- containing case doors etc
-- that we hexers want to edit are .DLL files. Windows, by default, has
files of this type "hidden" -- presumably as some kind of safety feature,
but in our case we need to see them. So if you cannot see them on your
machine, open My Computer or Windows Explorer, choose View and Options, and
then under View make sure that "Show all files" is ticked. While you're
about it, un-tick "Hide MS-DOS file extensions", because that's a nuisance
too.</p>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p class="big">NOTE: As from the middle of 2005, we have had the brilliant
LNZPro, available from my Nicholas' Tools pages. With this, you can open a
pet file and edit the .LNZ sections to your heart's content, adding and
removing ballz without having to think about the checksum, exactly as you
would edit a breedfile. Some other things are editable in a petfile with it
also. Most of what's in the tutorials in this section was written pre-LNZPro

play with it in Petz 4 or 3 again. Petz 5 puts extra data into a petfile,
and we would need to alter checksums in order to even try removing that.
<span class="normal">Soon we may have a tool to do precisely that, and then
maybe there will be more "corruptions" that we can fix. But by hand, for
now, the only thing that can we can do is to "clone" your pet from the data
within it, either directly into another adopted pet via LNZPro or into a
breedfile and re-adopt it as a puppy or kitten from the Petz 3 or Petz 4
Adoption centre. It will lose its memory and history, but the body will be
your pet's. You can even pop your original pet's personality/genetics into
the new petfile, although out of consideration for the new pet I'd be
inclined to do this in a <b>copy</b> of the new pet. And no, I haven't got a
"howto" up on how to do this; it's complicated "surgery" and I've still got
to find a way of explaining it.<br>

<a href="ConvertingBetweenPetzBreedzAug2003.zip">Converting Petz breedz from
one version to another</a><br>
<span class="normal">This has been updated somewhat; it includes converting
Petz 3 breedz from English to International, also converting to petz 5. It
attempts to cover converting back and forward between all versions of the
Petz games. Note that, since this tutorial was written, Resource Hacker
became usable and it swept the newer hexing community by storm. The trouble
with this is that, if you are trying to convert a ResHacked breed, it's no
longer so simple to do it in a hex editor, because Resource Hacker moves
things around inside the file when it compiles and saves. If the ones you
want to convert have been "ResHacked", then your best bet is either to copy
out the .lnz sections and any bitmaps, and make an overwriting breed using
my External-LNZ breedz, or to get ResHacker yourself and become familiar
with its use. I do not do Resource Hacker tutorials, although I do have
hints on odd things such as how to insert bitmaps with it.</span><br>
<a href="ConvertingPetz4ToPetz5.zip">Converting Petz 4 breedz to Petz
5</a><br>
NOTE: With LNZPro 3.2 or later, you no longer need to convert breedz between
Petz 3, 3 Non-english, 4, and 5. Just open your breed in LNZPro, choose
"Convert to Unibreed" from the File menu, and follow the instructions.<br>
<a href="HowtoSwapBreedPersonalities.zip">Swapping behaviour of
breedz.</a><br>
<span class="normal">This tells you how to change the personality (or
attitude) of one breed for that of another. It also talks about changing
sounds for sound-stripped breedfiles. It works for all versions of the game,
and for dogz breedz as well as catz. It includes an example cat breed for
Petz 3, 4 and 5; the Orange Shorthair with a choice of personalities. For
instance, the picture below shows the OSH breed with Alley Attifude. If you
want to change the personality of a Poodle for, say, that of a Labrador, the
same method can be used.<br>
<b>NOTE</b> Since LNZPro has got better and better, you can now swap the SCP
(attitude) files with utmost simplicity. Open the breedfile which has the
SCP that you want. Choose Edit, "Save to file". Now open the breedfile in
which you wish to replace the SCP. Choose Edit, "Replace from file". Save.
Ta-da! Changed SCP.</span></p>
