UPDATE: Found the issue! Soluton found below! Hello! Anyone know how to fix a breeding problem that is tied to a hexbase I downloaded? I found some neat clean hex bases at : waverlyacademypetz.weebly.com/hexing-resources-dogz.htmlT hey are for Petz3/4. I only Uni converted mine for use for my hex test,as I use Petz5.I picked the Great Dane with Scottie ears as a test. Noticed right away in the Lnz file that it looks different compared to normal Great Dane file,except it being blank,of course! Download it and compare it with a Great Dane file and see what I mean (I compared it with my P5 one). I only been doing basic changes; Breed ID change,Eye/Eye lid color,change coat fur,add few texture, add few paintball spots, made 2 variations. Nothing else been messed with or added,just wanted to test it out. I had a test run ingame and the dog works fine, except when test breeding the adult pair. It says "couldnt mate. perhaps one pet is to young, or another problem occured." and then crash. I know this hexbase is blank for a reason, still I don't know where is the part I can copy paste from regular Great Dane into my hex test file to make it breedable?? I don't want to make a breedfile that is un-breedable Or do I really have to put all my changes over to a Great dane file...?? I wanted to use the hex base because I would not deal with extra variations and fur marks that is all over the place that is hard for me to locate and remove.

As far as I can tell, what is missing from those bases is just variations and paintballs etc... It shouldn't be causing a problem with breeding. The only changes are in the LNZ portion of the file... So try copying all the LNZ over to a GD to see if it breeds ok then. If it does, try saving it as a new breed again and see if that fixes it. Also double check the dogs you are trying to breed are not underweight!

Also double check the dogs you are trying to breed are not underweight! Yes..thats what the site says indeed,but looking at the file it look a bit,too bare? Also the GDPUP Lnz (Puppy section) compared between hexbase versus the original GreatDane is different too! In any case ,copy is probably the way I will go,since that base does not work for me. I tried again few times more with new ones I played around with and same result, here is one of them : after that,it crash. Also dosn't matter the pair,I tried different ones and it does the same, so my breedfiles are the problem. When I use non-hex bases , the original breeds from the game as base, it works fine! I just wanted to for once try a clean base,since it had all the annoying extras I do not need and have a problem to find and remove. It also had the cute ears allready in it,too! So now I wanted to ask,if I just copy over My edits of the Lnz to Great Dane, Where is it safe to remove the extras Great dane have? (extra variants,extensions,fur markings etc) ? Also please can anyone tell me the exact places where this is,more then the few I seen myself?? Please anyone can help me?

Did you try simply copying everything in the LNZ from your hex to the original Great Dane to make an overwriting file? Copy everything...
If it works, the clean base is fine but there is a problem with how you are saving the non-OW file.
You can take out all the overrides and variations safely. Do not remove fur markings, extensions etc...

Do not remove fur markings, extensions etc... Yes I have tested that (Paste the LNZ into the Great Dane as a OW,same thing happens, I get a error when breeding them... Test breeding the hexbase works with no issue it seem,but as soon you edit it a bit,it ends like this.... Would be great to find the issue in what exactly render it unbreedable. Yeah overrides and variations I am aware of,just was not sure about the fur markings and other little bits.. Another idea is to copy parts I know belongs to my edits (color info overides,paintballs,texturelist. I do think Linez and addballz belong as well. In general just the look and shape of it.

You can try pasting one section at a time to see where the problem is. You must have made a mistake somewhere and that is why it will not breed.

I would agree with Silverfish, there must be an error in the code from when you made changes, how you saved it, or when you converted it to P5 or something. I just downloaded the same file and can breed them no problem in P4.
The LNZ itself looks different as Pinto sometimes arranges her LNZ differently, placing different sections in different spots (like [Paintballz] after [Ballz Info] vs before it). The order of the sections can be whatever you want, they don't have to be in any specific order. But everything required is in the file, it isn't missing anything.
If Silverfish's suggestion doesn't work, my next suggestion would be to start from scratch, scrap any files you've made changes to, re-download, and make changes again/start over. Sometimes its hard to find an error when you've been stuck on an issue for a while. Or you could send your current edited file to someone to take a look at - which I'd be happy to do that if you'd like ^^

I would do what Xoops suggested and send the breed and texture files to a more experienced hexer to look at. Since you seem to have ruled out a a breed ID conflict by being unable to breed it as an OW as well, the only other thing I could think of is some kind of texture issue.

To Silverfish and Xoops : Thats exactly what I meant! Pasting one at a time,of course. And I did mean I tested the hexbase as it is,only converted to Uni so I could make it work in my P5 and it Did work breeding it. Sorry for the confussion,I was quite tired when typing,so of course my explenation might be a bit hazey and not clear as it should be! Also Thanks for the offer Butterflychaser and Xoop,that is very nice of you both! On a side note I think I found the creator of this hexbase and sended a Pm, no reply yet but I still want to say that there is no need for file sending,as I have GOOD NEWS! Im happy to announce that I manage to fix it myself!
I had a extra look in my test breedfile and found something that looked off, fixed it and wanted to test if that could be the issue.. I tested breeding again my test breedfile and it worked this time!
To make sure crossbreeding works,I tested breed it with a chihuahua too:
It DID work! Finaly,I found the issue and lest say it was easy,but not what I would call obvious! Here is a screenshots: As the text I added in the screenshot, I never find a extra texture list in the Puppy LNZ section of any of my original dogz breeds ,so that is WHY I was so puzzled and perhaps too tired to notice first too. Still,thanks to everyone who was willing to help me! Im glad it is finaly solved! Perhaps anyone else wth this issue may find this useful!

That's great! Glad you got it solved! You should also be able to remove the texture list entirely from the puppy LNZ, the file should just read the list from the adult lnz if its not in the puppy.
And yeah, the creator is Pinto, she's pretty busy and I'm not sure how often she gets on RKC though (she co-runs another forum), but at least you got it figured out!

Yes Im super happy the solution was easier than it may looked at first glance! Oh ok! I might try that out also! I found the texture list in the pup LNZ a bit odd. Ok! Thats good to know it is the right person I contacted, just a bit sad that I contacted her a bit late,now that I got it figured out. I did not mean to poke someone if they are that busy. Yep! Thanks once again!

Sorry def didn't mean it like that, Pinto is awesome! If you ever have questions then for sure message her, I just meant I'm not sure how quick a response you'd get on RKC specifically haha

Youre fine! I think it is I who confussed you ,sorry about that. I just meant that I did send her a PM the other day and I was not aware I would be able to find the solution to the problem so quick. That is why I kinda feel bad I sent her a PM asking her and now it is solved. But I guess it will not be much of a problem. Maybe it is good she know about this in case anyone else maybe run into something similar like me.
