><b>Catz Behaviours for Dogz games</b><br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br
/></span>
I am supplying the cut down cat-behaviour files that are on this page so
that people who have only the dogz part of the Petz games can play with
my catz-based Oddballz-to-petz breedz. I do not wish to convert all of
the Oddballz-petz to Dogz-based breedz, partly because, at heart,
Oddballz are more like catz than dogz -- and partly because converting
them all would be an enormous task.
</p>
<p>
However, I did promise some people that I would make it so that they
could play with Oddballz-petz in their dogz games. So here is a
compromise that I hope Dogz-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>
<b>NOTE</b> to anyone who thinks that they would be getting the full
catz games with this kit; this is <b>not</b> the case, even though the
game is fooled into thinking that the Catz 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 Oddballz-petz :-)

<p class="big">
For Petz 3, 4 or 5 you need to download the relevant Basic Cat
Behaviours file for that game (sorry it's a large file) and then you
need to download whichever of the small cut-down cat rez files goes with
your version of the game.<br />
For Petz 4 and 5, download the bunny for your game version also --
you'll need it.<br />
<a href="p4originalbunny.zip">Bunny file for Petz 4</a><br />
<a href="p5originalbunny.zip">Bunny file for Petz 5</a><br />
For Petz II, there is just the single large download.

>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 or Tools and Folder Opetions, and then
under View make sure that "Show all files" or "show hidden files and
folders is ticked. While you're about it, un-tick "Hide MS-DOS file
extensions" or "Hide extensions", because that's a nuisance too.

>For people who have trouble understanding my instructions, here's an
example of how it works:</span
><br />
I'll assume it's Dogz 5 and you want the game fooled into playing Catz 5
breedz. Okay, from this Catz in Dogz page, you will need to download the
"Basic Cat behaviours for Petz 4 and Petz 5 (4.8 megabytes)" file which
will download as Catbehaviours_c4c5.zip, the "Small cut-down Catz Rez
file for Petz 5" file which downloads as Rez_c5.zip, and the "Original
Bunny for Petz 5".
</p>
<p>
Unzip the Catbehaviours_c4c5.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 Files\UBI Soft\Studio Mythos\Petz 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_c5.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 Files\UBI Soft\Studio Mythos\Petz 5\Resource</p>
<p>
Then make a directory off the Resource one and rename it Catz. So you
would now have this:
</p>
<p>C:\Program Files\UBI Soft\Studio Mythos\Petz 5\Resource\Catz</p>
<p>
Unzip the bunny into that directory and of course all your catz breedz
-- any breedfiles which you download that are .cat files -- need to go
in there.
