Hunter norns not working

So, I put the agents file in the the "My Agents" folder for DS, then went and got two hunter norn eggs from Muco the egglayer and hatched them.
But when they hatched, the norns were a neon green. Also, they're about an hour and a half old and still babies.

Well, it's perfectly possible that the Hunter norns change colours as they age, and age a little slower. According to the Wiki they have some very high-generation genetics and these are prone to vivid colourations.

Just try and raise them and see what happens. :)

I kinda doubt that. Bright green is a common color for missing sprites.

Are they green like this norn? Hunter Norns are commonly neon green, and are a genetic breed (which means they need no special sprites). Try downloading the norn I linked you to just then and adding that to your gene pool.

Missing sprites cause a crash in Creatures 3/DS, they don't get replaced by any colour or alternate sprite.

Bright green is usually a sign of transparency issues in other games due to wrong file formats or graphics card issues. I've never heard of it being used as a missing sprite replacement.

Actually is that only right when
A) there are needed frames missing in a file, as it happens to crosses with GAIA.

B) The file is missing, but the agent is just a normal object and no creature.


When whole spritefiles for creature breeds are missing they do get replaced. I already made some tries with that before.
Imagine you only have DS and your game crashes each time you get a Bengal or Civet Norn of someone else...

A) "Needed frames missing in a file" (or the entire file missing) is what missing sprites means. So I don't really get what you're trying to say here.

B) Not true. The game creates a 'skeletal agent' (creature) based on the genome or creature file and automatically selects the closest sprite files. If one of the files the game selected is missing, it crashes. Since the game checks for this it'll only happen when you, say, remove sprites used by a norn already in the world. And even then it might still check and fix things.

Then I probably misread your post again.

Basically I wanted to say that my game never crashed because whole spritefiles for a breed were missing.

Thank you for the link, Malkin. I wish they had mentioned that on the wiki page.

If you find the wiki page is incomplete, you can fix it, you know. ;)
