Help Forum Head in weird place?    ThunderOrb      2/10/2015 I just reinstalled DS after a hard drive crash and this is what happened when I injected an Evo Norn into a new world: http://i.imgur.com/tfw0prp.png How do I fix it? Remember that one time? Yeah, you do. You totally do.   Code Monkey evolnemesis   2/10/2015  1 Looks like you have some messed up or missing body data and sprites... maybe you have some nonstandard breeds in the slots for the sprites it uses or maybe those files are just missing in your install... Reinstalling the breeds it uses might work... if you already have those breeds official egg agents, then hatch one of each breed in question, it should fill out any missing body data or sprites (but I don't think it will overwrite any nonstandard ones that are in their slots... the install executables should though), and then existing norns should fix themselves when they get to the next life stage. It uses the following breed sprites: Head: Magma (Norn E) Body: Bengal (Norn B) Arms: Zebra (Norn I) Legs: Civet (Norn C) Tail: Magma (Norn E) "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love." "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan   ThunderOrb   2/10/2015 I've had issues with magma norns (pure ones) every time I've installed them. Any ideas what I could do to fix that? Before, the issue was with female heads, but it looks to be male heads this time around. Remember that one time? Yeah, you do. You totally do.   Code Monkey evolnemesis   2/10/2015 Weird, not sure... never had that issue with them... If you didn't have anything else in that slot, all I can say is make sure the body data and sprites are all in the right folder (some might be in your documents bodydata folder and need to be in the game bodydata folder, or vice versa)... make sure you have the 'Creatures reloaded' patch if you have the Exodus version, that also should make sure the install of breeds like that goes smoothly. I'd try installing them then hatching a male and female, and if that doesn't work, then copy all files in the bodydata and sprites folders both ways (all from documents to game and then all from game to documents... I'd keep older files in the case of copy conflicts)... This way, both have identical contents and have all the files of that type on your computer... that should fix it. At least that worked for me when I had my game complaining about missing bodydata or sprite files. Any existing norns still won't fix themselves though until they hit the next life stage... if you want you can force age them with CAOS with 'targ norn ages 1' (for selected norn) or 'targ hots ages 1' (for moused over norn) If the sprites are a real issue, you can just download Fred & Ethyl and start a population from them... they use just ChiChi sprites but are basically identical to the Evo Norns except for a fix to one instinct and a new feature to have a set of 8 slightly different personal responses to alcohol, random for each norn...

If you've only ever used CFE Magma Norns, try this. My TCR Norns
