I have been using a pray decompiler to get the gene file from the creature file. The gene file runs fine in the genetics kit but when I put it in the game I get errors. It says invalid slot or gene file not found. I don't know what to do, it was working before. I used to just rename the file and put it in the genetics folder. Any help appreciated and thanks ! |

2. Which decompiler?
3. How do you put it into the game?

C3/docking station and the decomplier is from this site.
I go to my documents then creatures then to the genetics section. I am running the game on windows 7. |

So... You just take the .gen file and throw it right into the genetics folder? Do you overwrite any other files? What are you doing afterwards? Just start the game? Or do something else?
Or wait, do you use the Genetic Kit's inject feature?

Yes after extraction I put it in the genetics folder and no I don't overwrite any files.
After I start the game ,I inject an agent that allows the gen be created as an egg.
I am using the Eggmaker agent from this site http://www.seeyou7.net/creatures/creatures3/agents/agents-jayd.html |

Can you upload the .gen file somewhere? I'd like to take a look at it. |

If it does turn out to be a problem with the extracted .gen file, it might be worthwhile sending a private message to ElasticMuffin.

No promises, but the header looked a bit weird and I made an attempt to fix it: Download
If it doesn't work, then the problem is deeper than just a bad header, and unfortunately I don't have the knowledge or experience to help beyond this.

I downloaded the gen file and injected it using Devthing. It injected just fine. Doesn't seem to be a problem with the gen file.

@GimmeCat
I injected it again but it didn't work. Maybe there is something wrong with the agent I am using ?Since @clohse says that it works fine with Devthing I might as well use that instead. Thank you for trying though.
I will use devthing and see if it works. |

Update- I got the gene file using a different method. I got the moinker using dev thing, then I used it to find the gene file in the current world. I renamed it and it works. Thank you everyone for the help !

For injection purposes, you should rename the genetics file anyways. That way it's just easier to handle.
