Still brief, the sick kitten is a fair bit better but I'm still being kept
|
|
busy by him and the rest of my little foster-family. So, back to Petz --
|
|
we have version 1.1.2 of Pet Workshop for you on
|
|
<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> -- small but
|
|
good changes, thanks Nicholas :-) Also I've tweaked my
|
|
<a href="/tutorials/LNZPro2tips/">LNZPro 2 tips</a>. By the way, Babyz
|
|
hexers might like to use it as an alternative to Resource Hacker -- you
|
|
can open the .dll file if you make the dialogue show "choose all files".
|
|
And peeps, don't forget to check out the sites on my
|
|
<a href="/smallislovely/">"small is beautiful" </a>links page, there are
|
|
some real gems there.

know where to edit the breed bitmap, ID number and name. Also some new

LNZPro 2! YESSS! LNZPro is a brilliant tool (of course -- look who made
|
|
it!) It edits .pet files as well as your .dog, .cat, .env, .toy, .clo
|
|
files... Go get it from
|

<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>, you know you

Petza, at version 1.4, will trim the size of family-tree-bloated .petfiles
|
|
down to the first 8 generations! You can still see the family tree in Petz
|
|
games, but remember that the rest of the tree will be removed in petz with
|
|
a long lineage. All the features of the earlier versions are still in
|
|
place of course. Go to
|
|
<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> to grab it.
|
|
Also I have new links on my

Petza version 1.3 has been temporarily removed. There were some concerns
|
|
amongst the petz community as regards the family-tree trimmer; Nicholas
|
|
hopes to be able to come up with a solution soon. Meanwhile, the very
|
|
handy version 1.2 is back up for you, on the usual page :-)

|
updated info on a couple of my

<a href="/tutorials/LNZdetails/">"LNZ breakdown chunks" </a>pages. I
|
|
should have mentioned all this yesterday, but Real Life got in the way --
|
|
my little Lydoe was returned to me, the poor little thing had to come back
|
|
from her new home through no fault of her own and she's needed plenty of
|

TLC.

A big update to Petza! Go to

<p>
|
|
small update to Petza; it's a smaller download and you don't need to unzip
|
|
it. If your browser corrupts the download, then grab the zipped copy. Also
|
|
I've put more explanation on the page which I hope will help people who
|
|
are confused, and links to working .exe files for it. It now works with my
|
|
modified Babyz exe. Go to
|
|
<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>. Download,
|
|
install and gaze with amazement at the result :-)

|
<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a>. Download,
|
|
install and adore. The brain-sliders have been re-enabled for small pups
|

and kittens; remember that in Petz 5 it's your own fault if you corrupt a
|
|
mother by ageing only some of her litter..<br />

Okay, lessee, what've I got for you now... Ah yes, some stuff for Babyz,
|
|
and a demo-fooler for Petz 3. On the
|
|
<a href="/madscientist/">mad Scientist page</a>, you'll find the Petz 3
|
|
demo fooler; you should be able to find all the files that you need, but
|
|
remember to read the readme files carefully. My Babyz
|
|
<a href="/babyz/babyzharem/">Harem Sets page</a> now includes a gold
|
|
sparkly dress; sorry it's so slow getting the sets uploaded, I have a bit
|
|
of a log-jam here with things that I need and want to do.<br />

A tutorial with example on my

|
having trouble getting crackers from their own edited cracker-boxes to

show up properly. And my

As before, I'm a bit late writing this What's New -- I keep meaning to
|
|
write it once I have a proper upload done, but I've only got bits and
|
|
pieces up at present, thanks to Real Life getting in the way :-) Anyway,
|
|
for now, On the
|
|
<a href="/specials/nicholastools/">Nicholas' Tools page</a> version 1.1.1
|
|
of Pet Workshop. Also the start of my Babyz Harem clothes, on the
|
|
<a href="/babyz/babyzharem/">Harem Sets page</a>. And before anyone gets
|
|
outraged, it's just some fun dressing-up stuff, and it's fun to watch them
|
|
disco-dancing with jewels in their navels ;-) More to come of course; I
|
|
hope to have more game-foolers up tomorrow for Petz as well as more harem
|
|
clothes for Babyz.

I'm a bit late writing this What's New, sorry -- Real Life dragged me from
|
|
the computer just as I was writing it. I do have some updates. On the
|
|
<a href="/madscientist/">Mad Scientist page,</a> I've grouped together
|
|
links to all the game-foolers; we have two new ones, thanks to
|
|
SuperSwampert67. One is
|
|
<a href="/petz/petz1/dogz1fooler/">for Dogz 1</a> -- for which I copied an
|
|
o-old P.F.Magic Dogz 1 page, complete with a little old animated dog, an
|
|
early use of Shockwave bless 'em :-) The other fooler (plus some easy-edit
|
|
playscene kits) is <a href="/petz/petz4/petz4fooler/">for Petz 4</a>. I've
|
|
also tweaked the tutorials pages slightly, removed my "tutorialbits" link
|
|
because I've distributed the info more logically, made it easier to find
|
|
the info on finding a pet's ID, and improved vastly the info on getting
|
|
Petz II runaways back. I did write to tell the requester about that, but
|
|
haven't heard back. If he's reading this and didn't get my email, then I
|
|
say "go check out the
|
|
<a href="/tutorials/PIIRunawaysHome/">PII Runaways Home info </a>." I'd be
|
|
glad to know whether he got his son's pet fixed or not.

On the <a href="/madscientist/">Mad Scientist page,</a> For People who are

can buy the full game. On the
|
|
<a href="/sounds/soundsorig/">Sounds page, </a>For people with dogz-only
|
|
parts of Petz 3, 4 or 5, there's a bunch of sound files to enable you to
|
|
hear all the sounds for dogz-based "cat" breedz. For everyone who wants to
|
|
hear persian-cat sounds in their dogz game *LOL*, you'll also need the

persian sounds and the special small "fix"file.

Just a couple of things; I've re-jigged the menu a bit in my eternal quest
|
|
to make it easy to find things. I've altered the intro to the
|
|
<a href="/oddballz/oddballzedit/">Oddballz kits pages</a>; I think it's
|
|
now obvious that Players should grab the kits so they can have more fun,
|
|
<b>not just</b> hexers. For Oddballz hexers, information on getting the
|
|
maximum number of individual Transformations in their breedz. For Babyz
|
|
hexers, I've uploaded a pre-prepared BabyzRez.dll in the "Easy Babyz"
|
|
section of the <a href="/babyz/babyzedit/">Babyz Howtos </a>page. This is
|
|
the ultra, <b>ultra</b> easy kit for people who want to use my easy-edit
|
|
method. It's more reliable than Resource Hacker :-)

Not the big update I'd hoped for -- it's been a difficult couple of days.
|
|
But I do have some Babyz stuff; a couple of howtos on the
|
|
<a href="/babyz/babyzedit/">Babyz easy-edit page</a>, they are help with
|
|
getting clothes/toyz to show up separately and How make your baby
|
|
permanently skinny (or fat) Work with Petz files too of course, but they
|
|
are aimed at Babyz hexers. Also four new
|
|
<a href="/babyz/babyznew/">downloadable babyz</a>, including a pair that
|
|
show a radical new way of making hair a little more natural-behaving.<br />

|
|
can have a lot of fun with these, just as much as hexers, and if you have

an Easy-kit version of Oddballz installed you will be able to download and
|

use any Easy-kit files that hexers might want to share :-)

little problem with the oddballz palette. I forgot to say that yesterday I

also put the bunny soundfiles on the species sounds page -- previously I

had them in the zips with my downloadable cotton bunny and breedable

bunny. Thanks to Minibyte for pointing that out :-)

Whee, all the Oddballz external-lnz breedz are now up at the
|
|
<a href="/oddballz/oddballzedit/">Oddballz Editing page</a>. I'll be
|
|
fixing up the "alternative" lnz files mentioned in the readme files as
|
|
soon as I can, to enable players not to have to swap around the
|
|
Transformation .lnz files too much. Tomorrow though I hope to have
|

something for petz and Babyz players.

Okay, "tomorrow" slipped a bit, and it's not quite as much of an upload as
|
|
I'd hoped, but I've been doing a lot of groundwork on the Oddballz
|
|
Transformations which should be helpful when I get it all organised, and
|
|
meanwhile there is Honker on the
|
|
<a href="/oddballz/oddballzedit/">Oddballz Editing page</a> along with a
|
|
file for you to grab if you're having trouble getting your edits to show
|
|
up in the Pig transforms. For people who want to make new
|
|
<a href="/babyz/babyztoyz/">babyz toyz</a> from the stuffed man toy, I've
|
|
made him show up on the shelf. That's it for today; the weekend
|

|
|
collaboration breed for Petz, plus a special new baby or two for babyz

|
players.
