<b>Catz Behaviours for Dogz games</b><br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
</span>
I am supplying the cut down cat-behaviour files that are on this page so that people who
have only the dogz part of the Petz games can play with my catz-based Oddballz-to-petz
breedz. I do not wish to convert all of the Oddballz-petz to Dogz-based breedz, partly
because, at heart, Oddballz are more like catz than dogz -- and partly because converting
them all would be an enormous task.
</p>
<p>
However, I did promise some people that I would make it so that they could play with
Oddballz-petz in their dogz games. So here is a compromise that I hope Dogz-games players
will accept. Please read the readme texts included in the zipfiles carefully; they tell you
how to install the files.
</p>
<p>
These files are only for Petz II upwards; the original Dogz game was never part of a full
"petz" game, and nor was the original Catz game, so there is no way to make the one work
with the other's game engine.
</p>
<p>
<b>NOTE</b> to anyone who thinks that they would be getting the full catz games with this
kit; this is <b>not</b> the case, even though the game is fooled into thinking that the Catz
part of Petz is present. There are several important items still missing, such as the sounds
resources, but you don't need those items in order to play with my custom-crafted
Oddballz-petz :-)
</p>
<p class="big">
For Petz 3, 4 or 5 you need to download the relevant Basic Cat Behaviours file for that game
(sorry it's a large file) and then you need to download whichever of the small cut-down cat
rez files goes with your version of the game.<br>
For Petz 4 and 5, download the bunny for your game version also -- you'll need it.<br>
<a href="dl/catbehaviours_p4originalbunny.zip">Bunny file for Petz 4</a><br>
<a href="dl/catbehaviours_p5originalbunny.zip">Bunny file for Petz 5</a><br>
For Petz II, there is just the single large download.
</p>
<p>
<span class="big">NOTE: These zips contain .DLL files. .DLL files need to be
"un-hidden".</span><br>
Windows, by default, has files of this type "hidden" -- presumably as some kind of safety
feature, but in your case you need to see them. So if you cannot see them on your machine,
open My Computer or Windows Explorer, choose View and Options or Tools and Folder Opetions,
and then under View make sure that "Show all files" or "show hidden files and folders is
ticked. While you're about it, un-tick "Hide MS-DOS file extensions" or "Hide extensions",
because that's a nuisance too. <a href="reassociate.php">Click here </a>for screengrabs if
you need help.

IMPORTANT -- Please <a href="reassociate.php">Click here </a>if, after installation, your
CAT files seem to become "some kind of catalog".

<span class="big">For people who have trouble understanding my instructions, here's an
example of how it works:</span><br>
I'll assume it's Dogz 5 and you want the game fooled into playing Catz 5 breedz. Okay, from
this Catz in Dogz page, you will need to download the "Basic Cat behaviours for Petz 4 and
Petz 5 (4.8 megabytes)" file which will download as Catbehaviours_c4c5.zip, the "Small
cut-down Catz Rez file for Petz 5" file which downloads as Rez_c5.zip, and the "Original
Bunny for Petz 5".
</p>
<p>
Unzip the Catbehaviours_c4c5.zip file into the root directory of your game -- where the Petz
5.exe is. This is wherever you installed the game. If you didn't choose your own place for
installing the game, that would probably be
</p>
<p>C:Program FilesUBI SoftStudio MythosPetz 5</p>
<p>
Everything should then go into the right places. You only have to worry about shuffling
stuff around if it doesn't. Then unzip the Rez_c5.zip into your game's Resource directory.
If you didn't choose your own place for installing the game, that would probably be
</p>
<p>C:\Program Files\UBI Soft\Studio Mythos\Petz 5\Resource</p>
<p>
Then make a directory off the Resource one and rename it Catz. So you would now have this:
</p>
<p>C:Program FilesUBI SoftStudio MythosPetz 5ResourceCatz</p>
<p>
Unzip the bunny into that directory and of course all your catz breedz -- any breedfiles
which you download that are .cat files -- need to go in there.
</p>
