Help!

When I started work on a WR with the norngarden one, I found a problem. Quite a few of the agents in it lacked catalogue files. I know however, this is a bug rather then just the room lacking catalogues, as a few agents DO have catalogue files.

So, to cut from the gibberish to the problem, would someone please;
1. Say if this is just normal for the room
2. Explain what i'm doing wrong
3. PM me, or post on Ccaves in mis. section the working catalogues if you have them.

Thanks

Sorry if I sounds stupid, but what do catalogue files do exactly? I don't know much about what each file does, only how to install them...

I think catalogue files supply the text for the agent help. I don't know much about files either though, so I may be wrong...

Catalogue files hold the text for an agent's in-game help screen. A few agents store other things--like Quirky Cookie recipes--but the vast majority of agents use them solely for in-game help.

And Tolltips. Tooltips are defined over Catalogues too.

Hmm, I have a catalogue issue too, then. I used to have Agent Help files for my Norngarden 1 and now none of them work anymore.

Have you reinstalled it? On some systems the catalouge files of newly injected agents, are put to username/documents/creatures/catalogue (or similar) and not to installpath/creatures/catalogue, wich makes it impossibil for the game to find them (even so they are there).

Creatures vocab is also controlled by Catalogue files, in addition to Quirky Cookies, tooltips and Agent Help files.
