|

Reveals the secrets of the LNZ files<br>

ahahahaaaa! Hah! Ahaha...</b><br>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br></span></p>
|
|
|
|
<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.</p>

<p class="big">As a prologue, here are<br>
|

<a href="/carolyns_creations/tutorials/LNZ_summary/"><b>Some Important Notes and a
|
|
Summary</b></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="big">Now for the meat of the innards (cackle snurk) ;-) I'm
|
|
breaking the whole thing down into chunks.<br>
|
|
|
|
<a href="/carolyns_creations/tutorials/LNZ1st/">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="/carolyns_creations/tutorials/LNZ2nd/">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="/carolyns_creations/tutorials/BabyzBodyAreaNumbers/">Babyz</a> and for <a href="/carolyns_creations/tutorials/CatzBodyAreaNumbers/">Catz</a> and for <a href="/carolyns_creations/tutorials/DogzBodyAreaNumbers/">Dogz</a><br>
|
|
|
|
<a href="/carolyns_creations/tutorials/LNZ3rd/">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="/carolyns_creations/tutorials/LNZ4rd/">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></p>
