<p class="big">
|
||||||
|
What I'm going to try and do here is to explain to you all in more depth what all those mysterious parts of
|
||||||
|
a .LNZ file are for, what they do, and how to change them. Once you understand it, you will be able to make
|
||||||
|
a breedfile that's almost any shape and have it breed reasonably true, or a Babyz of any shape, or a weird
|
||||||
|
and wonderful Oddballz breed...
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p class="big">
|
||||||
|
Trust me. I'm a hexer (bwahahaha...)
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p class="big">
|
||||||
|
The .LNZ file, or "Linez" file, is the core data that the game reads when it is making a pet from a
|
||||||
|
breedfile or a baby from the main Resource dll file. You will also find .LNZ sections used for the simpler
|
||||||
|
mice or grubz, also in or for a few toyz, such as the Auto-rolling Ball or milk bottle. These .LNZ files
|
||||||
|
work the same way as the ones for Breedz and Babyz, but because they are associated with simpler behavours
|
||||||
|
we are more limited in what we can do with them that will actually show up in the game.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p class="big">
|
||||||
|
Clothing files have a .CLZ section which is very, very similar to .LNZ files. ball-covering clothes (shirts
|
||||||
|
etc) make use of Paint Ballz, and hats etc make use of Add Ballz. If you want to insert a clothing style
|
||||||
|
into a breedz or babyz .LNZ (for instance, to make the antlers permanent), be aware that you can't just
|
||||||
|
copy/paste and change the ball numbers. You will also need to do a bit of fiddling -- for instance, there
|
||||||
|
are fewer columns in the .CLZ add ball sections than there are in the .LNZ ones.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p class="big">
|
||||||
|
It has come to my notice that many people don't find how the .LNZ file works and what the various
|
||||||
|
programmers' comments, mnemonics, keywords and Key Texts are, as blindingly obvious as I do; so I'm writing
|
||||||
|
more detailed notes here in hopes that it will help.

||||||
|

Now for the meat of the innards (cackle snurk) ;-) I'm breaking the whole thing down into chunks.<br>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<a href="LNZ1st.html">The first chunk, here,</a><br>
|
||||||
|
contains several areas of the .LNZ which are not present in all breedz. These seem to confuse people
|
||||||
|
most<br>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<a href="LNZ2nd.html">The second chunk, here,</a><br>
|
||||||
|
contains the major areas which are common to all breedz.<br>
|
||||||
|
NOTE that Bodyarea numbers matter for some issues (see the [Add Ball] section in the 2nd Chunk).<br>
|
||||||
|
Here are the Bodyarea numbers for <a href="BabyzBodyAreaNumbers.html">Babyz</a> and for <a
|
||||||
|
href="CatzBodyAreaNumbers.html">Catz</a> and for <a href="DogzBodyAreaNumbers.html">Dogz</a><br>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<a href="LNZ3rd.html">The third chunk, here,</a><br>
|
||||||
|
is all about areas which you can insert into your breed even though they are not always actually seen inside
|
||||||
|
an original P.F.Magic breedfile.<br>
|
||||||
|
April 29, I've fixed up some typos in this third chunk -- sorry if any of them confused you before.<br>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<a href="LNZ4rd.html">The fourth chunk, here,</a><br>
|
||||||
|
is all about areas which are entirely specific only to Oddballz.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|

|
<p class="big">
|
||||||
|
Okay, away off now and make some fantastic new breedz or babyz. Hexing is fun, enjoy it!<br>

The Mad Scientist Hexer Reveals the secrets of the LNZ files<br>

ahahahaaaa! Hah! Ahaha...

|

<p class="big">
|
|
||||||
What I'm going to try and do here is to explain to you all in more depth what
|
|
||||||
all those mysterious parts of a .LNZ file are for, what they do, and how to
|
|
||||||
change them. Once you understand it, you will be able to make a breedfile
|
|
||||||
that's almost any shape and have it breed reasonably true, or a Babyz of any
|
|
||||||
shape, or a weird and wonderful Oddballz breed...
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p class="big">
|
|
||||||
Trust me. I'm a hexer (bwahahaha...)
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p class="big">
|
|
||||||
The .LNZ file, or "Linez" file, is the core data that the game reads when it is
|
|
||||||
making a pet from a breedfile or a baby from the main Resource dll file. You
|
|
||||||
will also find .LNZ sections used for the simpler mice or grubz, also in or for
|
|
||||||
a few toyz, such as the Auto-rolling Ball or milk bottle. These .LNZ files work
|
|
||||||
the same way as the ones for Breedz and Babyz, but because they are associated
|
|
||||||
with simpler behavours we are more limited in what we can do with them that will
|
|
||||||
actually show up in the game.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p class="big">
|
|
||||||
Clothing files have a .CLZ section which is very, very similar to .LNZ files.
|
|
||||||
ball-covering clothes (shirts etc) make use of Paint Ballz, and hats etc make
|
|
||||||
use of Add Ballz. If you want to insert a clothing style into a breedz or babyz
|
|
||||||
.LNZ (for instance, to make the antlers permanent), be aware that you can't just
|
|
||||||
copy/paste and change the ball numbers. You will also need to do a bit of
|
|
||||||
fiddling -- for instance, there are fewer columns in the .CLZ add ball sections
|
|
||||||
than there are in the .LNZ ones.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p class="big">
|
|
||||||
It has come to my notice that many people don't find how the .LNZ file works and
|
|
||||||
what the various programmers' comments, mnemonics, keywords and Key Texts are,
|
|
||||||
as blindingly obvious as I do; so I'm writing more detailed notes here in hopes
|
|
||||||
that it will help.

Now for the meat of the innards (cackle snurk) ;-) I'm breaking the whole thing
|
|
||||||
down into chunks.<br>
|
|
||||||
<a href="LNZ1st.php">The first chunk, here,</a><br>
|
|
||||||
contains several areas of the .LNZ which are not present in all breedz. These

seem to confuse people most<br>

<a href="LNZ2nd.php">The second chunk, here,</a><br>

contains the major areas which are common to all breedz.<br>

NOTE that Bodyarea numbers matter for some issues (see the [Add Ball] section in
|
|
||||||
the 2nd Chunk).<br>
|
|

Here are the Bodyarea numbers for <a href="BabyzBodyAreaNumbers.php">Babyz</a>

|
|

chunk, here,</a><br>
|
|
||||||
is all about areas which you can insert into your breed even though they are not
|
|
||||||
always actually seen inside an original P.F.Magic breedfile.<br>
|
|
||||||
April 29, I've fixed up some typos in this third chunk -- sorry if any of them
|
|
||||||
confused you before.<br>
|
|
||||||
<a href="LNZ4rd.php">The fourth chunk, here,</a><br>

This is for people who want to know what the various sections of a pet file contain. The structure is very
|
||||||
|
similar for a baby file. I'm just going to show this as links to a series of screengrabs, as I don't have time
|
||||||
|
to do anything fancy with it. Pet and baby files are in fact saved-game files, so their internal information is
|
||||||
|
changing all the time. However, the basic structure remains the same throughout, so we can do a fair bit of
|
||||||
|
analytical work just looking at a pet or babyz in a hex editor. I'm not including any breakdown of Petz II .pet
|
||||||
|
files, as they are very different.
|

<a href="img/petbreakdown_PetNameIDAndBreedfileSection.gif">Here is the start of a typical Pet adopted in
|
||||||
|
Petz 3, 4 or 5.</a><br>
|
||||||
|
In it you can see the pet ID up there in the first two bytes, before the name Rosie. This is the section
|
||||||
|
containing the petname, ID and main breedfile name. In a pet which has been imported from PetzII there is a
|
||||||
|
bunch of other stuff in there too, but it's not really important.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|

|
|

<p>

<a href="img/petbreakdown_xChecksumSection.gif">This is the end of the first section.</a><br>

<a href="img/petbreakdown_StartOfPaintedBallzSection.gif">this is the section with your pet's colour

data</a><br>
|
||||||
|
This is where the game stores whatever paint you throw at your pet from the can; if you don't paint the pet, it
|
||||||
|
stores the pet's default colours here. It's the reason why, when you change certain ball colours in the .lnz
|
||||||
|
section, you have to say "restore original colours" within the game before you see them. It's also why babyz'
|
||||||
|
hexed eyelids don't show up as altered; there is no "restore" in babyz because there's no paint pot. But of
|
||||||
|
course you can edit the relevant byte in this section, as I show in a "howto" elsewhere.

<p>

<a href="img/petbreakdown_EndOfPaintedballzStartOfLnzSection.gif">The start of the .LNZ sections</a><br>

Where the shape, default colours etc of the pet are defined. It comes in two chunks, the first of which is the

Nicholas' LNZPro utility of course.

This section directly after the lnz info is where you'll see listed any clothing items that your pet is wearing.
|
||||||
|
No need to edit this, just take the clothes off your pet or baby in the game! If there is a problem with
|
||||||
|
starting the game because the clothing item is missing or damaged, just re-set your game as you start it up by

hitting Ctrl and Shift together.

|

|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|

|
<p>
|

Also in this section of a pet, after YALP and before the breed ID info, you'll see an area which varies in

length as your pet's experiences in life occur -- experiences such as finding a mate and so on.

Here is the start of the puppy's data. The structure of the puppy file is the same as that of the mother, but it

|
doesn't have the initial loading section with the pet ID and name because of course the game doesn't need that
|
||||||
|
until the pup becomes separated from the mother. If there is more than one pup (or of course kitten for a catz
|
||||||
|
pet), each pup or kitten's data follows the other after the previous one's family tree data.

<a href="img/petbreakdown_StartOfBitmap.gif">Start of bitmap</a><br>

And this is the end of the petfile, the bitmap which you see when the pet comes out of the door. This is not

||||||
|
included in the checksum, so if this part only is corrupted you can simply replace it with another bmp file in
|
||||||
|
order to get the game to accept the pet or baby. I show how to do this in one of my tutorials.

<a href="images/petbreakdown_StartOfPaintedBallzSection.gif">this is the section with

your pet's colour data</a><br>
|
|
||||||
This is where the game stores whatever paint you throw at your pet from the can; if you
|
|
||||||
don't paint the pet, it stores the pet's default colours here. It's the reason why, when
|
|
||||||
you change certain ball colours in the .lnz section, you have to say "restore original
|
|
||||||
colours" within the game before you see them. It's also why babyz' hexed eyelids don't
|
|
||||||
show up as altered; there is no "restore" in babyz because there's no paint pot. But of
|
|
||||||
course you can edit the relevant byte in this section, as I show in a "howto" elsewhere.

of 2005, you can now edit these directly in Nicholas' LNZPro utility of course.

baby in the game! If there is a problem with starting the game because the clothing item

that of the mother, but it doesn't have the initial loading section with the pet ID and

name because of course the game doesn't need that until the pup becomes separated from

the mother. If there is more than one pup (or of course kitten for a catz pet), each pup
