Anodyne (n): anything that relieves distress or pain

Important: please read the readme before installing. Yes, I know it's long. These files can do things to your worlds that you may not like and/or cause errors if you don't.

Anodyne was born out of my frustration of having to perform the same steps each time I created a world. Kill hots the things I don't like, get the room icons, inject fixes and necessary agents... it gets old. I'd rather spend the time actually customizing my world.

The .zip contains a pair of .cos files that you can use together or separately. They will take effect when you've created a new world, as soon as you bypass the login screen. Works in both docked and undocked worlds. Part one deals with killing annoyances and getting all of the metaroom icons, plus a couple of other things. Part two deals with injecting agents I always use (note: agent files not included!). All of the details are in the readme, so again, please check that.

Of course, you are very likely not me, so I also included instructions for how to modify the files. That way, you can put your icons in a different order, kill off only the things you find annoying, and automatically inject different agents. Now you can save yourself the time and effort whenever you make a new world. If you've ever touched CAOS before, it should be pretty simple; however, for those who haven't coded before or who might be nervous, and to make my instructions extra clear, I wrote up an overly-illustrated guide on my aLife blog as well: link

I tested this pretty thoroughly, but please let me know if you have any problems or are confused after reading the readme file, and also feel free to post your own versions if you do change them
