Nicholas created the marvellous LNZPro and Tinker tools. All the info in my howtos
|
||
|
|
is still valid for anyone who wants to understand what goes on "under the hood", and
|
||
|
|
my "easy" packages are still fun to use, but these two new tools make things
|
||
|
|
amazingly easy for us hexers. Give 'em a try, you know you want to :-)

These are pages of information which Ron Tigat had up at his Odd Planet site; while
|
||
|
|
that site is down, it seemed a shame for this information to be lost. These pages
|
||
|
|
are of interest to people who edit for Oddballz and like to know in-depth stuff.
|
||
|
|
Although Oddballz is not a Win32 game, the information is still useful for those of
|
||
|
|
us who edit for the Win32 Petz games.<br>
