For some reason, one (only one) of my C2 worlds in Creatures: The Albian Years has started crashing whenever I try to run it. It's installed on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit laptop and this particular world has been running just fine for months...but for some reason, now I get an error message saying "Small Furry Creatures MFC has stopped working" and am offered an option to close the window at which point the entire application quits. The game doesn't do this with any of the other worlds I have created -- just the one. If I could make the world stay stable long enough for me to export all or most of the creatures within it, this wouldn't a problem because I could just create a new world and then import them back into the game...but it doesn't, and I can't. Does anyone know what caused this, and what -- if anything -- I might be able to do to fix it? Or is it a dead loss? |

I don't know if it works the same way between c2 and c3, but if you can't find a way to export creatures, their data should still be in a folder somewhere! In c3 it's inside the My Documents folder and there will be folder directories for c3 and each created c3 world.. With creature data being in a folder somewhere inside their relevant world's set of folders Sorry if that's a little too vague to be useful, but if it works in a similar way you may not even need to run the game at all to save them! c': The Mossy Shee & Co |

In the My Documents folder for Creatures 2, there will be a file named YourWorldName.sfc and also a Backup directory. Somewhere in that Backup directory should be another file named YourWorldname.sfc which you can copy and paste over the first version. In theory this restores your world to an earlier point with no errors, like the emergency kit used to do. Warning, you can lose creatures this way, just like the emergency kit. The other option is to do what Jesseth said but since Creatures 2 dumps all gene files in the same Genetics folder it can be difficult to find the ones from your world. The Backup directory might have a gene folder for your world but I will have to check this. It suffers from the same problem as above of not having all the creatures depending on when it was backed up. If you do manage to find the right gene files, you can inject them with the genetics kit to get a clone of creature. |
