Hello,
I just finished installing the CFE genomes/egg packs but I'm getting some reports of missing sprite files. Can someone maybe get a copy of them for me, or know where I can get them? Initial installation went smoothly, and the rest of my CFE's work, so I'm not sure why I don't have these files. And yes I have the original breeds mentioned below uploaded from the CDN.
Missing:
a00m.s16 - Astro CFE
a00k.s16 - Fallow CFE
a00o.s16 - Harlequin CFE

Have you tried hatching some normal, non-CFE Norns? That should most likely do the trick. |

Oh wow, I wouldn't have ever thought of that! Ok so the results were that my Astros worked, thus the CFE ones worked thereafter. YAY!
Now, however, after trying this method with the rest, I discovered that not only did they not work, but some of my agents weren't even being displayed on the injector, so I couldn't use the same method I had with the Astros.
[thinking...thinking...cutting...pasting...]
OK! I was able to correct this by moving the CFE.agents that weren't working over to a temporary folder. Whatever problem the injector had with displaying my agents was gone now and is working correctly, so I then continued with the original Astro method and hatched a bunch of original breed norns, while still keeping the problem CFEs in that temporary folder. After successfully hatching the original breeds, I moved the problem CFE's back to the agents folder and voila! All CFE's and non-CFE's are all working great now. Thank you for suggesting this solution! |

That's strange - in my early installations I too installed the CFE agents without hatching normal norns first, and also had major problems. (I'm on my... fifth install? Something like that.) Perhaps they need to carry a warning! |

You might like to read The Lost Hand's Guide to Installing Creatures Full of Edits Genomes - it covers the topic in depth.

As I understand it, the CFE egg agents don't include the sprites or body data - they only include the CFE genome.
In order for the game to hatch a CFE norn from the CFE egg agents without any problems, the game must have already unpacked the sprites and body data from the official egg agents.
When the CFE were first released, this wasn't a big deal - everyone had the images already unpacked in their games, but now that it's become de rigeur and people are being advised to not bother with the standard norns and go to CFE from the start, people aren't hatching the regular norns and unpacking the sprites and body data before trying CFE - which is where the problem is.
If someone 'just wants to try' CFE, I'd recommend adopting a few from TCR, but if someone wants to switch from the start, I'd recommend installing the genome packs over the egg agents.
