NOTE: Some files that we hexers want to edit are .DLL files. Windows, by default, has files
of this type "hidden" -- presumably as some kind of safety feature, but in our case we 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

<p class="big purple">
<b>Where to find latest "Howto"s etc</b><br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
</p>
<p class="big">
Usually the newest items are at the top of the relevant section -- Petfiles (for editing the
actual pet files), Breedz main (for major breedz tutorials), Breedz info (for important
information -- variations, 2nd-gens, etc), Breedz bits (for all the odds and ends, such as
ears and tails etc), Copy/Pasties, Scene/toy/clo (for scenes, toyz, clothing, and
Doors-and-mice easy-edit packages and "howto"s). Some things are a little different,
though...
</p>
<p>
<span class="big">
Go to <a href="../tutorials/lnzdetails.php">my LNZ breakdown chunks</a><br> for my
latest delvings into the guts of hexing.
</span><br>
will always contain my latest information on the .lnz files as and when I have the time to
write my notes as clearly as possible for you<br>
<span class="big">
Go to <a href="../tutorials/tutorials.php">my main tutorial page</a><br> for the stuff
that doesn't fit anywhere or is relevant to other games also,
</span><br>
such as how to fix some problems in ResHacked files. This will always contain my latest tips
and bits of information about everything else I can think of, which doesn't fit neatly in
specific Babyz, Petz or Oddballz tutorials pages, as and when I think of it or have the time
to write it down for you.
</p>
<p>
<span class="big">NOTE 1:</span> You can use the information that's in my hexing tutorials
for Petz 4 to help you to hex-edit in Petz 5. The files are basically the same, with only a
few minor differences which I cover in my converting "howto". I promise you, you don't need
fresh tutorials for Petz 5, although I have done my best to update all my older ones anyway.
All the newer Petz "howtos" are for Petz 5 as well as the earlier games -- except for
filmstrip editing. In Petz 5 the filmstrips need to be split into individual frames, which
means that filmstrip-based toyz editing and making clothes show up on the shelf as objects
not already somewhere in the game is not a sane thing to do by hand in Petz 5. You need a
special tool such as <a href="../nicolastools.php">Tinker</a> for that.
</p>
<p>
<span class="big">NOTE 2:</span> Hex-painting and the creating of hexed litterz is usually
-- and up until I released info on petfile editing was always -- done by hex-editing a
breedfile without renaming it, and adopting pets from the edited breed. If you want to
"hex-paint" by editing an individual pet, then that seems like a lot of effort for very
little return -- but if you want to do it, take a look at one of my advanced "howtos" on pet
editing, in the "petfiles" section of this page. Or, as of the year 2005, grab LNZPro from
my "Nicholas' Tools" page -- you can edit pet files with that now.
</p>
<p>
<span class="big">NOTE 3:</span> Several of my breed-hexing "howto"s contain example breedz.
These breedz just happen to be the ones that I was checking my facts with as I wrote the
relevant tutorial, so I popped them into the zip. I usually work with Petz 3 (it's fast to
load) or Petz 4 (it has good error messages and is fairly quick to load), so the breedfiles
are likely to be for one of those games. You are hexers, or else you wouldn't be interested
in my "howto"s and tutorials, would you? So my theory was that if you want to see my results
in action, you can easily either copy the .lnz into the appropriate breed in your chosen
version of the game, or you can convert the breed to that version for your own use. It
appears that this has simply muddled people; sorry about that. I've been intending to
convert all of them, therefore, and post them on the
<a href="tutbreedz.php"> "tutorial examples" </a>page. This is very low on my list of
priorities just now, though!

<p>
<span class="big">NOTE 1:</span> You will notice in various places I say that Petz 5 SPR
filmstrip files are not editable. Individually, by hand, this is true; the filmstrips have
to be chopped into individual frames for editing, and they are even more difficult and
time-consuming to split apart by hand than the filmstrip-sections of earlier games. I have
not yet written up a "howto" for it -- and now I never shall, because there is no point,
LOL! Tinker is now available for the task, available from my "Nicholas' tools" page, and
wannabe filmstrip editors can make a whole range of great toyz etc without the drudgery :-)
Really all my filmstrip-editing tutorials have now become redundant, useful only to hexing
purists and historians... They will have served their purpose in filling the gap while no
tool was available, and in giving the programmers Jonathan Grinshpan (of Oddballz Eggz
Scrambler fame) and Nicholas (of Tinker fame) handy information for tool-making.
</p>
<p>
<span class="big">NOTE 2:</span> Some files -- containing case doors etc -- that we hexers
want to edit are .DLL files. Windows, by default, has files of this type "hidden"
-- presumably as some kind of safety feature, but in our case we 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.

exactly as you would edit a breedfile. Some other things are editable in a petfile with it

<span class="normal">
Soon we may have a tool to do precisely that, and then maybe there will be more
"corruptions" that we can fix. But by hand, for now, the only thing that can we can do
is to "clone" your pet from the data within it, either directly into another adopted pet
via LNZPro or into a breedfile and re-adopt it as a puppy or kitten from the Petz 3 or
Petz 4 Adoption centre. It will lose its memory and history, but the body will be your
pet's. You can even pop your original pet's personality/genetics into the new petfile,
although out of consideration for the new pet I'd be inclined to do this in a
<b>copy</b> of the new pet. And no, I haven't got a "howto" up on how to do

packages:<br>
<a href="../tutorials/LNZFileExternals.php">See your petz at the Adoption Centre while you

<span class="normal">
or at least, almost while you edit. Keep the game running, take a pet out of the AC,
edit the .lnz "on the fly" and take another pet out to compare -- this method is easy
quick, and less prone to corruptions than using Resource Hacker!

<a href="dl/petzedit_ConvertingBetweenPetzBreedzAug2003.zip">Converting Petz breedz from one
version to another</a><br>
<span class="normal">
This has been updated somewhat; it includes converting Petz 3 breedz from English to
International, also converting to petz 5. It attempts to cover converting back and
forward between all versions of the Petz games. Note that, since this tutorial was
written, Resource Hacker became usable and it swept the newer hexing community by storm.
The trouble with this is that, if you are trying to convert a ResHacked breed, it's no
longer so simple to do it in a hex editor, because Resource Hacker moves things around
inside the file when it compiles and saves. If the ones you want to convert have been
"ResHacked", then your best bet is either to copy out the .lnz sections and any bitmaps,
and make an overwriting breed using my External-LNZ breedz, or to get ResHacker yourself
and become familiar with its use. I do not do Resource Hacker tutorials, although I do
have hints on odd things such as how to insert bitmaps with it.
</span><br>
<a href="dl/petzedit_ConvertingPetz4ToPetz5.zip">Converting Petz 4 breedz to Petz 5</a><br>
NOTE: With LNZPro 3.2 or later, you no longer need to convert breedz between Petz 3, 3
Non-english, 4, and 5. Just open your breed in LNZPro, choose "Convert to Unibreed" from the
File menu, and follow the instructions.<br>
<a href="dl/petzedit_HowtoSwapBreedPersonalities.zip">Swapping behaviour of breedz.</a><br>
<span class="normal">
This tells you how to change the personality (or attitude) of one breed for that of
another. It also talks about changing sounds for sound-stripped breedfiles. It works for
all versions of the game, and for dogz breedz as well as catz. It includes an example
cat breed for Petz 3, 4 and 5; the Orange Shorthair with a choice of personalities. For
instance, the picture below shows the OSH breed with Alley Attifude. If you want to
change the personality of a Poodle for, say, that of a Labrador, the same method can be
used.<br>
<b>NOTE</b> Since LNZPro has got better and better, you can now swap the SCP
(attitude) files with utmost simplicity. Open the breedfile which has the SCP that you
want. Choose Edit, "Save to file". Now open the breedfile in which you wish to replace
the SCP. Choose Edit, "Replace from file". Save. Ta-da! Changed SCP.
