Creatures Exodus DS

Okay so the GoG version of Creatures Exodus DS (and c3) maintains 2 directories for the game, the c/program files/GoG one, and another under My Documents. For installing certain things like body data and genetics, files need to be placed in the my documents directory, while agents need to be placed in the program files directory. The Agent Help function in game which allows you to read more about an agent and get info etc, doesn't work for many agents because of this format. it will display a message like "Unknown Agent, Sadly we don't know exactly what this agent is" etc., Somehow I figured out how to get this function to work properly by utilizing files and the 2 directories... the only problem is I can no longer remember how I did it, or if there was something else I had to do. If anyone can shed some light on this situation, or offer up suggestions I would be very grateful.

OH OH OH I just "re-figured" it out. For anyone playing the GoG version of C3 or DS this is what you need to do to full utilize the "Agent Help" function of the game. When you inject an agent into your world a .catalog file will be created for it in the catalog folder of the My Documents directory. You need to move this file from the My Documents directory, to the C/Program Files/GoG/Creatures Exodus/Docking Station Catalog folder. Then you will be able to fully utilize the "Agent Help" function.

I hope this helps someone, I know it helped me out = D

That's good to know! Thanx for sharing!!

Would it work if you created a shortcut from the Program Files directory and put it in the My Documents directory? The it would send the files where they should automatically?
