Autonamers

I haven't been able to get a single one of the autonamer type agents to work for me. I'm running the GoG.com versions and others have told me the same agents work for them on Windows 7, so I'm at a loss as to what's going on. I tried moving DS to the Documents folder but that didn't help with this or any of the other agents that haven't been working right. I install them according to the given instructions but it's like nothing happened - the agent doesn't appear in the creator machine to be injected and the effects it's supposed to have don't occur. I also have this problem with a few other things, including Malkin's thing that's supposed to stop them from obsessing over 'x likes y' type thoughts, but it's the autonamers that are really bugging me right now because I need them the most (although that 'like/dislike stopper' thing would also be very useful to get working too).

I've tried most of the standard advice for fixing this sort of problem - is there anything else I can try? If not, is there a way to at least make DS accept longer typed-in names?

I think you might have done it backwards. I think you're supposed to copy the My Documents folder into the game folder, not the other way around.

That doesn't really make sense, BaffleBlend.

I followed the instructions quite closely, and from multiple sources in that particular case. I really want this to work! XD

I don't understand how it doesn't. The game makes files in My Documents. The game can't read catalogue files from My Documents. Move the files from My Documents to where it CAN read them, in the game folder.

I don't see how that doesn't make sense.

Oh, I didn't understand what you were trying to say.

The fix I made just goes in the bootstrap folder, with all the other cos files. To get it to replace the original script in an older world, you need to press CTRL, SHIFT and C at the same time, and then type in:

ject "creatureDoneTo.cos" 7


or

ject "DS creatureDoneTo.cos" 7


depending on if you're playing a C3 standalone world or a DS/docked world.

There is no confirmation beyond that, but you should see a difference in reduced 'like' and 'dislike' looping.

There we go! That helped with that one, anyway. I had installed it as you describe, Malkin, but I didn't see an effect until I actually used the CTL-SHFT-C code. Which is weird because this world was made well after I put that in Bootstrap, but it doesn't matter, I can finally see a difference.

Isn't the problem Creatures being installed in Program Files? My installs have never been in PF to begin with. But I guess I'll try the reverse just to see if it works. Worth a shot.

Have you tried Amaikokonut's agent tester?
