Breed Installation Problems

Okay, so when i install the mall breeds, it doesn't install the .c16 for some odd reasoning. I have no clue whats happening. Could anyone help?

EDIT: heres what the installers say.

Output folder: C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Creatures Exodus\Docking Station\My Agents
Skipped: Bondi_Pack.agents
Copy to C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Creatures Exodus\Creatures 3\My Agents\
Completed

It gives me the packs for them, but not anything else, and when i try to select one of them in-game, it says this.

The following sprite gallery was not created:
C:\Users\______\Documents\Creatures\Docking Station\Images\a00e.s16

Help please?

Have you tried installing the Creatures Remastered Patch? Try that first before installing any breeds.

I tried and it didn't help.

EDIT: I'm getting something a tad different in the installer now...

Output folder: C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Creatures Exodus\Docking Station\My Agents
Skipped: TreehuggerNornPack.agents
Copy to C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Creatures Exodus\Creatures 3\My Agents\
Copy to C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Creatures Exodus\Docking Station\My Agents\
Copy failed
Copy to C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Creatures Exodus\Creatures 3\My Agents\
Completed

The error you get in-game suggests you're trying to use them in DS, but have you tried seeing if you can get them to work in Creatures 3? The errors keep saying it failed for the DS folder, but the C3 one says "completed"... there's a chance DS may be able to "borrow" the sprites from C3, if C3 really is receiving them.

Uninstalling and reinstalling to the My Documents directory might be a last ditch solution. I know this helped me out with some installation issues I was going through. I'm not really sure why the breeds are not being installed, though, if you've got the Creatures Remastered Patch working. Don't think I've run across this issue before. What version of Windows are you using?

Note: You might want to edit your first post, as one of the directories you posted includes your full name.

Thanks Jessica, and I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit. How do you install it to My documents?

When running the GOG.com installer, you should be given the option of specifying the directory yourself. Here you should be able to choose My Documents. I never had any trouble with breed installation on Windows Vista, though, so maybe something else is causing a problem? Maybe you could wait to see if anyone else has other ideas before reinstalling, unless you don't have any agents/breeds already installed. Hope you can get them working soon!

How so? CFE and non-CFE breeds don't use separate sprites. If you have the full sprites installed, both CFE and non-CFE breeds will work. Could you maybe provide screenshots showing what you mean by one type having the full sprites, and the other only having the head sprite?

mudpup, check out The Lost Hand's Guide to Installing CFE Genomes. :)

The CFE egg agents do not include sprites for the breeds, due to Vampess wanting to keep file sizes down and to avoid breaching the spirit of copyright. Therefore, you need to have the original egg agents, and hatch a norn from those egg agents, in order for them to install the full sprites for those particular breeds.

Just an idea, make sure the program has administrator rights.
