Hi there! I'm new to the forums so sorry if I misplaced this post somewhere. I've recently gotten myself addicted to Creatures 3 again and I decided to play again... but when I downloaded Docking Station I get a whole mess of errors. They only occur when I open Docking Station, though (engine.exe), and they're all .cos errors. I don't know what's the problem, so I'm coming to you all for some help! Any advice would be appreciated, thank you and have a nice day. EDIT: Here are some examples of the error. C ![:\](/images/smilies/confused.gif ":\") Program Files (x86)\Creatures 3\Bootstrap\001 World\delay gate.cosAnim change failed - on part 4 which has base 0 ... 1 100 part 4 frat 2 {@}anim [33 28 29 30 31 32 33 32 C Program Files (x86)\Creatures 3\Bootstrap\001 World\dragonfly.cosAnim change failed - on part 4 which has base 0 ... 1 100 part 4 frat 2 {@}anim [33 28 29 30 31 32 33 32 ... etc. etc. |

Have you tried to make a 'docked' world, with C3 and DS together, or a DS standalone world? It looks like you have some files which are designed to work with C3 in your DS bootstrap folder. The bootstrap folder loads all of the items in the world when you make a new world, so you need to remove them from the DS bootstrap and only have them in your C3 bootstrap folder. My TCR Norns |

i agree with malkin it might be files that belong with creatures 3 so a docked world might work |

I wonder about something. How do so many people end up with C3 cosfiles in their DS folders? Do they all mess around with that or are the installers just bad? Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

I haven't messed with the Docking Station files at all, so I really have no idea how to fix/stop it from giving me the cos errors. |

Then the installers mess up I guess... Well, it would be a tedious work, but you could remove the messy cosfiles one by one. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

Open your C drive - find a folder called "Program Files (86)" (it might be a hidden folder), then find one called "Creatures 3", etc. etc. etc. until you find the actual cos files. My TCR Norns |

Found the folder! Should I delete the files that show up as errors or should I move them or... |

Have you put anything in this folder yourself, or is it as it came with the game? It might be worthwhile just plain reinstalling C3. My TCR Norns |

When I uninstalled C3, it didn't help/fix anything, so I decided to try and uninstall Docking Station again. This time, it worked! Thanks a bunch for the suggestions and help, I truly appreciate it. |

for C3, how can I make an agent that can keep creatures from invading different parts of the ship? |

It might be better to create a new topic, Jubithaous, since your question isn't directly related to this problem. That way, you'll likely get more information and a better answer! |
