>How can you put spots on a non-spotted petz? That's in the [Paint Ballz] area. Take a look at the .lnz section for the Dalmatian and you'll see how it works; from that, you will be able to figure out what to add to the breed of your choice. You've got, underneath the lines which relate to the paw pads (which all petz have), what lookslike this: ;individual variation ; #2.B #1;right hand Okay, those are the variations in spots, and the first balls that you see listed are the ones for the front paws. If you wanted to have the spots the same each time, you would not bother with the "#" signs -- each # simply means "this is a different variation" and the double ## means "this is the end of the variations for this ball or set of ballz". The columns are clearly labelled, so you should be able to work out easily which ball is to be painted (base ball), and with how big a spot (diameter(% of baseball)), and where in the ball it sould go direction, etc. Similarly, in the Calico Cat you will see: ;individual variation ; ; #3 #2 25, 45 1, -.8, -.6 65 15 3 -1 0 1 0 25, 35 .8, -.1, -1 65 15 3 -1 0 1 0 #1;left hip so you know that these first variations relate to the hips. A point of clarification here. I mention spots in detail in my Advanced tutorial; and there I use as references the Dalmatian spots and Calico patches, and what they look like in the original breedz' files, in order to show you what you would be adding in to any other breed to paint on spots or patches, _not_ just to show you how to change them in those two breedz. Seems, from some emails I get, that people don't understand that fact. Hope this helps Carolyn Horn
