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

|
|
|
|
<a href="dl/main_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="dl/main_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.html">Catz World </a>! Then double-click on
|
|
|
|

the Player to install it and you'll be able to play with Phantarella.

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.html" 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.

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

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

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.html">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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

|
|
|
|
|
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.

Thanks to Misty (aka Acid Chaos), for giving me the kick I 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.
