oh man. I feel so stupid.
So, RL turned nasty on me and I dropped out of pretty much everything I enjoy for a long time. I really miss Creatures though so I booted up my computer yesterday and tried to get back into it. For some weird reason, Docking Station refused to work. I had to entirely remove every trace of it from my machine before a reinstall would 'take' and work.
Unfortunately, I stupidly forgot to back up my .gen files. So all my old work is basically gone. I still have some exports, but the Genetics Kit won't open them and I can't make the other gene editors I downloaded work right now. (I have no idea what's up with this computer. It's like it's angry at me for abandoning it. I don't remember any of these problems happening before.)
A lot of time has gone by anyway, so I decided to just take the opportunity to start over and do a clean new approach to my projects, like the dragons.
But I've forgotten everything. Like, everything. x.x I don't remember how to set up their swim bladders or anything.
Does anyone have links to threads or websites where it describes how to make the underwater pregnancy organ and the breathing underwater stuff? Once I get going I'll probably remember the rest on my own, but the notes I kept aren't detailed enough on exactly how I did what I did.

I am certainly not an expert, but usually amphibious creatures are as simple as going to the lung, locating the air emitter and switching it from "air quality" to "constant".
If you wanna be more elaborate, you can also leave it on "air quality" and duplicate it. Hit the invert button on one of them.
The non-inverted one is the lungs for air, the inverted one is their gills for water. When you now mess with the sliders, you can make them able to breathe differently well in both mediums without entirely suffocating them in one.
Can't help too much with the swim bladder thing, but I believe at it's core it is a rapid reaction where 1 oestrogene and 1 (whatever chemical the swimmer agent uses) is broken down to only 1 oestrogene.

There's 2-3 genes in a swim bladder: an emitter that constantly emits 63/swim chem at a fairly slow rate, an instant reaction with 1 progesterone and 1 63 that just leaves 1 progesterone, and an emitter that emits tiredness when the female is pregnant. The tiredness emitter is optional, it's just there to force them to the ground quicker. It's actually them sleeping and landing on some sort of ledge or ground that makes the whole thing work.

Oh right, progesterone was it! Silly me.

Tiredness emitter sometimes results in them endlessly falling asleep mid-egg-laying and so taking far, far too long to lay an egg. |

The way I had/have it set up is to have progesterone react with swimmerase to produce progesterone and Tiredness. They stop being able to swim and want to take a nap. Helps prevent the problem Wingheart is talking about, at least in theory.
Thanks for the prompt, though - it helped me remember how I did this stuff. XD
