for general stuff and colour charts, Resource Hacker tips, LNZ Pro 2 tips
etc<br>
Go to <a href="/tutorials/LNZdetails/">my LNZ breakdown chunks</a><br>
for some very useful information on the LNZ files which make up the core of
your new baby.<br>
<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Go here for info on Nicholas' Babyza,
Tinker, and LNZPro 2</a><br>
<span class="normal">Not created by me, obviously -- but I've helped with
information and files, and I feel very protective of Nicholas. He's a
National Treasure :-)</span></p>
<p><b>NOTE</b> My tutorials mostly tell you how to edit in the days before
<a href="/specials/nicholastools/" title="Nicholas' utilities">Nicholas'
tools</a> were created for us all. I keep the tutorials and howtos here
anyway because they are still useful. But wherever you see mention of
Notepad, you can use the same info when editing the LNZ or CLZ section in
LNZPro. And <a href="/tutorials/LNZdetails/">my LNZ info chunks </a>are
still invaluable.</p>
<p class="big"><a href="/tutorials/hexerbaby/">The special hexer baby</a>
-- thanks, <a title="http://rgn.riverpebble.net" class="defunct"
target="_TOP">L41N</a>!<br>
This is L41N's brilliant idea. She sent me a hexer baby which I tidied up
and added to with extra comments, a how-to page etc.</p>
<p class="big"><a href="/babyz/sphinx/">Go here for Sphinx's Special
tools</a><br>
<span class="normal">Also not created by me, obviously :-) but Sphinx has
generously offered them to the BC and, since I have fond memories of her
jabbing, poking and encouraging me until I made many of my Babyz
discoveries, I am very happy to have something of hers here.</span></p>
<p><span class="big">IMPORTANT NOTE:</span><br>
Some files that we hexers want to edit are .DLL files, such as the large
BabyzRez.dll. 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>

Now that Nicholas has made Petza fix the sound problem while the game is

anyone who cannot get petza to work for them or wants alternative files for
the "fooler". I have the link to Nicholas' site on my "Nicholas' Tools"
page.<br>
<a href="BabyzWithMenu.zip">Modified Exe for Playpen access</a><br>
<span class="normal">This is my ongoing testbed .exe file. My hope is that I
will eventually be able to get the game to accept more playscenes, by
avoiding the need to use the house icon. As yet in my game I have not
been able to get it to work for the Attic and Nursery, so have not got as
far as further scenes. I'm producing it for you in case you can do better
with it. It does have one feature that you might enjoy; the Playpen and
Desktop "scenes" are both usable. It overwrites your original, so please
please make sure you put yours somewhere safe before trying mine.</span><br>

<span class="normal">For people who don't use my easy-edit package to create

for you.</span><br>
<a href="babyzCDfix.zip">A fix for when that annoying CD message pops

Fooler.</b></a><br>
<span class="normal">A partial solution for people who cannot buy the

<p>And for people who have lost their CD and cannot find another anywhere,
<a href="/babyz/babyzfix/">here is a page</a> where you can find a backup
ISO image of the complete game and an installation fix. The game is zipped
of course, so you would need to unzip it and either burn it to a CD or mount
it with image-mounting software. If you don't know what that means, just
burn it to a CD.</p>
<p>And, if you're running Windows (blech) XP or (argh blech) Vista, I
strongly advise you to get Nicholas' Petza/Babyza. You can get the link to
his site via my "Nicholas' Tools" page.</p>

<a href="BabyzEditingMadeEasy.zip">Ultra easy New-babyz editing "howto"
package</a><br>
<a href="BabyzRezForEasy-edits.zip">The Rez.dll plus .lnz from Ultra Easy
package</a><br>
<span class="normal">Only download the Rez.dll version if you either cannot
change the single byte yourself or the little patch from the "howto"
package doesn't work. The zipfile is 5.5 megabytes in size.</span></p>
<p class="big"><span class="normal">(Take a look also at my LNZ file
breakdown chunks <a href="/tutorials/LNZdetails/">here</a>, they really
should be helpful.)<br>
This is part of my "Ultra-easy" editing range; this package includes all
that you need in order to create new babyz easily, using only Notepad,
Wordpad and either Windows Explorer or My Computer! Woo-hoo! NOTE: You do
have to read the included text files carefully and follow the instructions,
or the method won't work for you. Click <a href="BabyzExtLnz2.jpg">here
</a>to see a screengrab of my Babyz directories in Windows Explorer, so
you can see where the .lnz files are supposed to go if you're confused.
The icon beside the .lnz files are Notepad ones because I used Windows
Explorer's View -> Options -> File Types menu item to Associate the .lnz
extension with Notepad.exe.</span><br>
This next lot is for people who want to edit items such as the bubbles from
the bubble machine. You can only change those by editing them in the
BabyzRez.dll file, and all the in-game bubbles will be changed if you do --
bath bubbles etc. So if people want your bubbles they will have to download
the external-filmstrip files.<br>
<a href="externalfilmstripbabyzrez.zip">The Rez.dll prepared for external
filmstrips</a><br>
This is a 5.5 megabyte download and is just the .dll file with two bytes
changed to make the game look for filmstrips externally. You can change the
bytes yourself instead if you wish, but whichever you choose, you absolutely
need to download the filmstrips.<br>
<a href="Babyzfilmstripfiles.zip">The external filmstrips</a><br>
This next one is a .dll which has been prepared to use external lnz as well
as external filmstrips. If you download it, make sure to download also the
