<b>Dogz Behaviours for Catz games</b><br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
</span>
I am supplying the cut down dog-behaviour files that are on this page so that people who
have only the catz part of the Petz games can play with my dogz-based fantasy and species
breedz. I do not wish to convert all of my Dogz-based specials to the catz games, largely
because converting them all would take too much time.
</p>
<p>
However, I get a lot of requests from people who are keen to play with my specials, so here
is a compromise that I hope Catz-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>
NOTE to anyone who thinks that they would be getting the full dogz games with this kit; this
is not the case, even though the game is fooled into thinking that the Dogz 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 fantasies and species :-)
</p>
<p class="big">
For Petz 3, 4 or 5 you need to download the relevant Basic Dog Behaviours file (sorry it's a
large file) and then you need to download whichever of the small cut-down dogz rez files
goes with your version of the game.<br>
For Petz 4 and 5, download the pig also.<br>
<a href="dl/dogbehaviours_p4originalpig.zip">Pig file for Petz 4</a><br>
<a href="dldogbehaviours_p5originalpig.zip">Pig 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, 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.

<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 Catz 5 and you want the game fooled into playing Dogz 5 breedz. Okay, from
this Dogz in Catz page, you will need to download the "Basic Dog behaviours for Petz 4 and
Petz 5 (4.3 megabytes)" file which will download as Dogbehaviours_c4_c5.zip, the "Small
cut-down Dogz Rez file for Petz 5" file which downloads as Rez_d5.zip, plus you'll need to
go and get the Pig breed.
</p>
<p>
Unzip the Dogbehaviours_c4_c5.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_d5.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 FilesUBI SoftStudio MythosPetz 5Resource</p>
<p>
Then make a directory off the Resource one and rename it Dogz. So you would now have this:
</p>
<p>C:Program FilesUBI SoftStudio MythosPetz 5ResourceDogz</p>
<p>
Unpack the pig into that directory and of course all your dogz breedz -- any breedfiles
which you download that are .dog files -- need to go in there.
</p>
