Garden Box frustrations

So I decided to give some rooms and agents a try. I added Veridia, Chione, and C12DS. I figured I'd need some way of adding food to Chione especially, and vendors weren't cutting it. So I gave Garden Box a try!

It all seemed fine and dandy, till I actually tried adding the agents. I moved around the catalogue files (I hope I got all of them), but there still seems to be issues. Yes, I'm running GoG Exodus, I have the remastered patch, it should work... But it doesn't.

Here's the error I get.

Runtime error in agent 1 1 22929 script 1 1 22929 1001 unique id 35714
Catalogue Error: CLE0016: Couldn't find Tag "Clib Name Var Copier"
... targ seta mv98 ownr {@}sets va99 read "Clib Name Var ...

Am I missing something? [nsad]

Don't panic! :) This is in fact perfectly normal for a first installation of the Garden Box on Exodus. Just like the Quirky Cookie Machine, the Egg Maker, etc. the Garden Box relies on catalogue files, and on them being in the right place.

Because I run Creatures Exodus on my Mac, I look in my
~/Library/Preferences/Creatures Labs/Docking Station/data/Catalogue folder for new catalogues, and move them to
Hard Drive/Applications/Docking Station/Contents/MacOS/data/Catalogue.

If you're on a PC, you'll want to look in My Documents for an analogous Catalogue folder, and move it to something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Gameware Development\Creatures Exodus\Docking Station\Catalogue.

Amaikokonut discusses it further in this thread. It's a really easy fix to do. :)

I moved all the ones I could find, but it still doesn't seem to work...

Have you shut down the game completely, and then moved the catalogues? Sometimes shutting the game down and reopening it helps with the more complicated stuff.

That worked! :D I have now filled Veridia with countless seasonal foods! My only concern is the fact that the foods seem to ignore the upper levels and fall straight to the ground floor. [nsurprised]

Great! :D The permeability of each food isn't something that's set by the main GB, it's set in each agent. Which foods do you have installed?

Bouncy plums, carrots, apples, explodonuts, strawberries, pears, chili peppers, and pumperspikel. Right now the apples are the only ones growing, so they're the ones falling through the floors.

I think that most of them will fall through all the floors, I can't remember for all of them. Certainly the carrots will, as they're designed to grow on the ground.

If you're interested in changing the permeability of the upper floors, you might do well to try out Amaikokonut's Magic Words Room Edits. It takes a little getting used to, but it's great for fixing up metarooms and making sure you can customize them the way you want to!

Magic Words Room Edits is also great for fixing CA problems in meta rooms, so norns can path properly.

... Unless that's a separate MW I'm thinking of.

Nope, same one. There's a quick tutorial on Amai's blog here: Magic Words Room Edits, and a shed-load of info on how rooms affect smell transfer, etc., here: CAs and You!.
