I'm not very savvy with coding, but if someone has an idea or a solution, that would be amazing! ![[ngrin]](/images/smilies/emot_grin.gif "[ngrin]") |

Hmmmm. When does this error happen, exactly? As soon as you open the world, or much later? |

That looks like a funky error... It first destroys the targeted agent and THEN changes it's perm value? Which of course can't work, as not-existing objects don't have physics properties. Not sure what to do about it or what the script creator intended to do with this. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

It happens a little later. I watched it closely last night and even tested it with the airlock, it indeed happens whenever a Balloon Bug dies. Edit.. I've been dabbling a bit, trying to learn the CAOS language and using the website "diffchecker" to see if I can write fixes from other patches into this one... Instead I am learning this is more difficult than it looks! ![[nlaugh]](/images/smilies/emot_laugh.gif "[nlaugh]") I would love to take all of the fixes for the desert and smush them together. Edible Balloon Bugs would probably fix this error, but I enjoy all the fixes DTF introduces. And Malkin's updated Meerks... Argh! ![[nangry]](/images/smilies/emot_angry.gif "[nangry]") |

Unfortunately, 'merging' the two patches to the same species would almost always involve understanding their codeflow, and so not be resolvable with diff alone. You might have better luck with eg. merging changes from a different species (eg. the meerks) into another cos that doesn't touch them -- I'm not familiar with the cos patches you mention, so I couldn't say for sure. Can you link them though? Also, there's a commented version of the entire Creatures 3 source cos here called 'C3 Bootstrap V2'. You may find it useful for picking apart the Balloon Bug specifically. |

Darn. I figured it couldn't be that simple! And thank you for that link, I will be checking that out shortly!  Malkin's Meerk Fix Edible Balloon Bugs Desert Terrarium Fixes The only one I am currently using. |

I personally dislike the idea of keeping the balloon bugs solely above-ground, because I like having them fly EVERYWHERE and I think it helps combat Eat Elevator Syndrome when playing docked or with C3-in-DS. Mine aren't perfect, because they retain a bug where because they move through floors, they can sometimes be at the boundary point when they change to being impermeable - which is an advantage of making them only-above-ground. I based the meerk and the edible, squishable balloon bug on the V2 bootstraps, and tried to comment my additions, so hopefully it would be easier to squish, if you wanted. My TCR Norns |
