I developed a routine that works very well for me, and perhaps you would enjoy it too!</div> <bR> <div> 1. Open up (in ResHack) a file to edit--usually the Russian Blue or Dachshund, and copy the LNZ from that file to the base I want to use for personality.</div> <div> 2. Delete all the "junk."  Useless comments, the whole move and project ball sections, extra ommisions, variations, most add balls (and their lines), and most or all of the puppy/kitten section.</div> <div> 3. Change all the outline colors to 244, and remove most of the outlines.  Change all the lines to have 100 thickness on both ends and remove or set outlines to 244. Change fuzz to match the type of breed I'm doing (often no fuzz on all or most of the body).</div> <div> 4. Now I have my "clean slate."</div> <div> 5. List in ommisions things I'm not using. (Usually the eyebrows, most ear balls, and tail balls in dogz. Often the tail balls in catz.)</div> <div> 6. Change scales and extensions (within the limits).</div> <div> 7. Play with the ball sizes and move to et the basic desired shape.</div> <div> 8. Once I get a decent basic shape, add the addballs to make important features, usually adding a couple extra for each thing (because it is easier to ommit balls than to add extra ones later on).</div> <div> 9. After getting the balls in good positions, I add the lines connecting them.</div> <div> 10. Set up a basic color scheme.</div> <div> 11. Define the textures and make fur files (if needed).</div> <div> 12. Post the breed somewhere (ie Coming Soon) to get feedback for tweaking. Also breed a couple to make sure sizes are inheriting properly.</div> <div> 13. Work on the puppy/kitten shape.</div> <div> 14. Make basic color variations. </div> <div> 15. Add any needed paintballs.</div> <div> 16. Make a few shape variations.</div> <div> 17. Define group numbers and fur pattern balls.</div> <div> 18. Breed again.</div> <div> 19. Make minor changes as I notice them and are suggested b others, making sure to get movements working well.</div> <div> 20. <I>FINISHING TOUCHES!</I> Do SCP changes and/or sounds (if desired), make AC bitmap, change Head Shot section, change breed name, make conversions, and serve at room temperature.  Serves 1 to 6,000,000. ;-)</div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="axes"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Axes</div> <bR> <div> In the file, when axes are used (like in move, addballz, or paintballs), this is what they mean:<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Courier New" >x</FONT> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Courier New" >y</FONT> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Courier New" >z</FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Courier New" >1</FONT> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Courier New" >-1</FONT> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Courier New" >1</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0c478a20.gif" border=0 width="120" height="162" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="0c50faa0.gif" border=0 width="271" height="170" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The first number is the left/right axis on the pet.

It is just there to help programmers find sections. (To make a breed smaller, you can remove all of these comments. You can also add your own anywhere you like.) Under this comment, the first number is the ball # (see the "Ballz Lists" in the <U>Tools </U>section). The next three numbers are the <U>axes </U>for offsetting the ball. In this case, ball 14, which is the left eye, is moved 4 units to the left and 3 units forward. </div> <bR> <div> Notice that the right eye is moved out to the right for symmetry and the iris balls (27 and 28) are also moved to fit them? This is because the Move section is an absolute scale. Moving one ball does not affect the position of the others. So, if you simply want to move the petz head up, you need to move up ALL the balls connected with the head and face.</div> <bR> <div> The fifth number is not necessary but it IS very helpful and crucial when making drastic changes using Move.  It is the "anchor" ball.  Put the ball # here of a ball you want to make sure the moved feature stays near and moves with.  A good practice is to anchor all face balls to the head ball.  If you elongate a breed, you can fix movement issues by anchoring all the balls in the hind legs to the butt.</div> <bR> <div> The one exception to this is Addballs. Any balls in the [Add ball] section (which includes any numbered 67 or higher) are always positioned relative to their base. Putting any of the addballs in the [Move] section will either crash the game or make your breed move oddly.</div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="project_ball"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>[Project Ball]</div> <bR> <div> [Project Ball] </div> <div> 41, 34, 50<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 42, 35, 50<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 63, 22, 50<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 64, 23, 50 </div> <div> 2, 6, 90<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 0, 41, 85<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 1, 42, 85</div> <bR> <div> This section defines how far apart ballz are in relation to each other.

The first number is the "fixed ball," the second is the ball you want to fix in relation to it, and the last is the distance they are from each other. Negative numbers can help make drop tails, but you'll need to define other projections to keep them from intersecting with the body.</div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="whiskers"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>[Whiskers]</div> <bR> <div> This section is not in most cat breedz.

For wildz, you may want to omit many, maybe nearly all, of the standard balls and build with add balls. A good ball to use as a base for mostly addball breeds is the neck. This is because the neck ball is the one you actually use to pick up the animal. It can be difficult to pick up an animal with an invisible neck ball.</div> <bR> <div> It is MUCH better to use the ommisions section to get rid of features than changing their sizes to -99 or something.  Very small numbers "confuse" the game (especially with clothing), and some balls will show up in second gen petz at a default minimum size (unless they are ommited).</div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="add_ball"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>[Add ball]</div> <bR> <div> [Add Ball]<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Courier New" >;</FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Courier New" >base </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Courier New" >x y z</FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Courier New" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Courier New" >color </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#800000" FACE="Courier New" >otlnCol </FONT>spckCol <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Courier New" >fuzz </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000080" FACE="Courier New" >group </FONT>outline <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#808080" FACE="Courier New" >ballsize </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Courier New" >bodyarea </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Courier New" >addGroup </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Courier New" >texture</FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> ;nose<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 37, 3, 0, -5, 35, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 19, 0, 0, -1 </div> <div> 37, -3, 0, -5, 35, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 19, 0, 0, -1 </div> <div> 37, 0, 3, -7, 35, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, 19, 0, 0, -1 </div> <div> ;ears 80<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 8, -10,-25,-8, 35, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 12, 0, 0, 1 </div> <div> 8, 10,-19, 5, 35, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 34, 0, 0, 1 </div> <bR> <div> This is the section where you can get really creative.

The group number has several important functions. It defines the paintable areas (with the game paint can) and also plays a role in how colors are inherited and mutated. </div> <bR> <div> If you look in your file, you will see a few balls are set to the -1 group: the eyes, "iris" (the ball itself is the pupil), tongue, and whiskers. Balls in the -1 group will NEVER mutate or recombine with other colors/patterns. They will not mutate. That's why eyes stay white and pupils stay black, and why whiskers are either one parent's color or the others--never a mutation. These balls also cannot be painted with a paintbrush.</div> <bR> <div> Addballs can be -1 group too. Make sure you have the correct column. <I><B>COUNT </b></I>the numbers.

In catz and dogz, the -1 group has little importance because the important parts are already in the group, the nose, paw pads, eyes, etc. In wildz, however, use of the -1 group is essential to a properly inheriting scheme. Things you will want to put into this group include claws, horns, hooves, fangs, talons, beaks, etc. It is also a good idea to place the unusually colored body parts in this group. For example, I put my mice tails and ears in the -1 group so that they can inherit as pink or gray and not mutate to white or "fur" colors.</div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="fur_pattern_balls"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Heredity Groups and [Fur Pattern Balls]</div> <bR> <div> As most people have figured out, breeding a dog with a normal tail to one with an addball tail based on the butt can lead to two-tailed dogz. This is because the tail and but are inherited separately, and the game does not recognize addballs on the butt as a "tail" but rather as a reshaped butt.</div> <bR> <div> Also, you may have figured out that fluff on the neck, connected to fluff on the chest (or fluff on the anke to fluff on the foot) loses that connection in 2nd gens. It is because the base balls for these add balls are in different "heredity groups," and addball connections between groups are lost in 2nd gens.</div> <bR> <div> Here's a breakdown of the "heredity groups" (these groups are partially defined in Add balls using the "bodyarea"):</div> <bR> <div> <B>Ears:</b> the ear balls and addballs/lines relating to them</div> <div> <B>Head Group: </b>all of the head, face, and neck balls and add balls relating to them</div> <div> <B>Body Group:</b> the chest, belly, and butt and addballs relating to them</div> <div> <B>Tail Group:</b> the six tail balls and addballs relating to them</div> <div> <B>Leg Group:</b> The hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and wrists and add balls relating to them</div> <div> <B>Feet Group:</b> Feet, hands, toes, fingers, and related add balls</div> <div> <B>Whiskers:</b> inherited independently of face and ears</div> <div> <B>Fur Pattern Balls: </b>Addballs specifically designated, act as a separate group (inherit as a connected group, lose connections to other groups in second gens</div> <bR> <div> <B>More on [Fur Pattern Balls]...</b></div> <bR> <div> Most original breed files don't have this section, but it can be found in the Maine Coon. It is found near the end of the LNZ and looks like this:</div> <bR> <div> [Fur Pattern Balls]</div> <div> ; addballs which are part of fur only</div> <div> addballs: 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109</div> <bR> <div> Like I mentioned before, any balls listed in this section inherit as a group, and they do not retain connections to other groups. (So, if you list ear addballs here, they will lose their line connections to the ears in second gens.)</div> <bR> <div> These balls have other special traits. They can retain shade other than ?5 in 2nd gens, so you can make feathering lighter or darker than the main body coloring. (This, however, leads to mismatching of colors in second gens, regardless of the group number specified.) They also retain their fuzziness (or lack) reguardless of the fuzziness of the add balls' base ball.</div> <bR> <div> Used correctly, fur pattern balls are a wonderful tool. For example, it can allow for unfuzzy toenails inheriting properly even on fuzzy dogz. Or, if only addballs (with no line connections to base balls) make up the difference between longhair and shorthair variations, breeding between the variations can be done with no 2nd gen problems at all--EVER.</div> <bR> <div> Just keep in mind the way this section will afect color and line heredity. It is a useful tool, but it can be abused and cause problems if not understood and used properly. </div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="scale_limits"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Scale Limits</div> <bR> <div> The default scales and enlargements are limited.
