Yup. I’ve had a day. Between my husband’s 16 hour work days and living in a crappy hotel, I’ve had little to do but edit videos and hex Petz stuff.

I put the finishing touches on the Cat Dragon breedfile that I’ve been working on for the last couple of weeks. I’m not really ready to call this done, but with our move coming up on Tuesday, I’ve run out of time and I wanted to have this ready and online for Christmas.

Next is a Dane hexie. I originally opened up PW this evening to create an entry for pinto’s Christmas Hexing contest on Whiskerwick, but I wound up getting distracted. I have a habit of watching Netflix when I do stuff and I usually wind up getting distracted.

Remember that cat dragon thing I’ve been working on? Well, here’s some progress on it. As you can see, the file now has horns and teeth. Teeth are a variation and can appear as a set of top and bottom, top or bottom or no teeth at all. Same with the horns show. So far, the file can have ram horns, pointed horns, a blend as shown above or no horns at all. Still lots of variations to add, though.

On another, related note, breeding has come along. The file doesn’t breed perfectly (what file does, honestly?) but it’s much better than it was before and I think I can finally leave the grouping and Fur Color Areas, Fur Ball Areas, Fur Area Areas and all that other garbage alone. At least, until I get into spots and stuff *shudder*.

So, I still don’t know what’s causing this file to crash in Petz 4 but it seems to run OK in Petz 5, so work is going to continue there. It seems to be a problem with variations, but that’s all I know right now. At the very least, removing neck length vartiations seems to have helped a little. At least I found a work around, temporary though it may be.

Anyway, I’m taking the sketch that I’ve reposted above and I’m going to break it down into a checklist. Let’s have a look. I’ll be updating this as I go.
