"away" image on the high chair

I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions – I'm just discovering hexing and often end up blocked

To anyone who is kind enough to provide some help: I'd love to give back! Maybe I can send what I'm hexing when I'm finished if you're interested, or any other service you can think of 

So, I'm hexing a workbench based on the high chair (work in progress, nowhere near finished!).

Tbh I'm hexing off a high chair that can be put away from Carolyn. The thing is, since in the game it wasn't meant to be put away in the cabinet, I can't edit the HIGHCHAIR_X2 AWAY section on Tinker. Tinker reads it as corrupt.

So I looked around on Carolyn's website, and found some info here: homebody.eu/carolyn/downloabx/tutorials/tutorialbits/HiddenAndDifficultToyzInPetz3-5andBabyz.txt

Unfortunately, I don't understand the instructions at all. Does anyone know how to replace the "away" image for a custom high chair, or know another place where I can find some info about it?

Thanks so much!

p.s: this question was already asked in the archives, but it looks like it was never completely resolved: milkbc.proboards.com/thread/63786/replacing-away-image-highchair

I have no idea how to help you, but don't worry about asking questions!! We love to help other hexers out! <3 Hopefully someone can provide some insight soon! I'm not very experienced in hexing toys & just know the basics! You seem to have a better grasp than me & that's awesome!! Keep it up!

Thanks so much Thunderstormie, that's encouraging I did something weird and it actually worked. Here are the instructions for future hexers:

My problem was: The highchair doesn't have an "away" animation, so Tinker wouldn't let me replace the image that appears in the closet.

I already had a Workbench.toy file ready, with its own ID, changed sprite names etc.

I made a copy of another toy in the Toyz file, like the blue Pillow, for example. I renamed the new toy Test.toy

Then I went through the normal process of creating a new toy in LNZ, following these instructions : new ID, change sprite names, and finally replace the old sprite names with the new ones in Hex Workshop.

I opened my Test.toy in Tinker, and selected the "AWAY" section. There I changed the icon to the one I wanted for my workbench, following the same instructions mentioned above.

Back to LNZ. I opened my Test.toy again, and under the FLM and FLH sections, I exported the "AWAY" lines of my Test toy. To do this, you right click on the on the PILL_B1_AWAY under the FLM and FLH sections, and click "Save To File". I named them PILL_B1_AWAY.flm and PILL_B1_AWAY.flh.

Still in LNZ, I opened my Workbench.toy. I clicked the FLH section there and on the "AWAY" line, I right-clicked and selected "Replace from File." I added my PILL_B1_AWAY.flh, and then did the same for the FLM section.

Save and... Voila! The Workbench had its own "away" image in the closet

Four years later and I had completely forgotten having already seen and liked this post xD but I just came to search having the exact same problem, and this was perfect!

thank you for sharing your solution and steps Mina!! Replacing the flh and flm with lnzpro was what I was missing/didn't think of. of course!!

I'm so excited for you high chairs, Amanda!
