Development Forum C2toDS, Development Blog   1 | 2 Moe        5/8/2010  1 Hello Creatures Community! Late last year I began work on my own Creatures 2 to Docking Station project. Developing it has been quite an adventure so far, and I'd like to share that journey with the community by providing an inside look at how Albia is forming inside Docking Station. I hope you'll visit and enjoy the blog: Creatures 2 to Docking Station Development Blog   Tea Queen Laura Administrator     5/8/2010 Oh Moe, this blog of yours is just so tantalisingly teasing! Out of all of them C2 is the Creatures game I love the most, so the idea of C2toDS just rings of epically awesome.   QuackAttack   5/8/2010 Oh, wow! It looks great! C2 is my favorite game, as well, so I look forward to reading about your progress and CStoDS's eventual release!   Moe     5/8/2010 If you know of any Creatures players who have left the community for a time, consider letting them know about C2toDS! My hopes is that this project, along with other smaller things I, and other members are working on, will generate more activity in the community, and interest in the games.   scoota94   5/8/2010 This is awesome! I wish you luck! By the way, will it be possible to add a volcanic eruption feature? *Looks innocent Don't be worried about who is right, Just follow you heart...   sam999     5/8/2010 One good way of getting people to look is to post agents altered so they come in existing rooms that when done will show up in your new room like with the canopy bluebottles. Just my five-cents.   Moe     5/9/2010 Technically Scoota, the volcano already erupted... It'll be another hundred years at least before that happens again. There is something you can do to the volcano though...C2 players might remember it as a favorite Cob, but this time the feature is built in and improved. I'm having too much fun... lol   Tea Queen Laura Administrator     5/9/2010 I'm having too much fun watching that Dust Devil of yours! I love the way you've made it move, and I've always found those cactus seeds annoying - good riddance.   Jessica     5/9/2010 What an amazing project, Moe! I, too, was captivated by the video of the dust devil, which looks absolutely stunning! Very interesting posts so far: I like how you've taken some advanced features/aspects of the games and made them easy to understand. I never thought about the gravity and water effects before. I'm very interested to see more updates on what you're doing: Excellent work! Also, thanks so much for posting a link to Discover Albia in the sidebar! I'll be linking back to your blog, as well, very soon. Best of luck! Discover Albia   EmergencyTowel   5/10/2010 I can help test it when its finished. I have a lot of free time and can come up with almost any scenario to put norns in to test it. In my nerd cave, nobody can hear you scream. Feed my pets: Shroomy and Glow!   Moe     5/11/2010 Granted it's a bit over dramatic for what the actual video consists of, but that's how we make life interesting!   scoota94   5/11/2010 wow! I noticed the new snow! Its the same from creatures 1 is it not? it is awesome either way Are you gonna release teaser trailers now and again? Don't be worried about who is right, Just follow you heart...   Moe     5/11/2010 Glad you like it, and yes it's the same one that was used in the C1 Christmas pack, but actually that snow was in the sprite from C2, just unused. :/ Instead they used those questionable block sprites...I don't use those except for rain. And I'll be releasing little trailers like that and my dust-devil one from time to time. Later in development I'll show actual places and such, but for the time being it's all just "hey look at this or that".   scoota94   5/11/2010 Thats terrible! CL even though it is no longer, still manages to amaze me! Unused snow sprites that are better? Pffft! Don't be worried about who is right, Just follow you heart...   Moe     5/20/2010 First playable part has been released! C2toDS Base! Please ensure you read the whole post before injecting, or it WILL NOT WORK.   Tea Queen Laura Administrator     5/20/2010 I've just beta-tested and C2toDs base and... Wow. As Moe said, it'll freeze for a moment when you click on it in the agents list, and then again when you click to inject it (and for me it froze a third time just after it injected) but then after that it's fine! The world-scrolling function is there, the sounds are there (plus some special ones that Moe's added ) the beautiful signature C2 graphics - it's all great! I shall have fun filling this world up with Norns, toys and plants, and playing with the Dust Devils! I really reccomend the rest of you try it out too, if you haven't already, especially if you're a C2 sentimentalist like me.   Sanely Insane RisenAngel Manager     5/21/2010 I have to say that this is wickedly awesome. The fact that the hand and everything associated with it goes *spoiler* was a very nice touch, it's nice to see a version of this room with all the scenery in place, and you get kudos for putting the music in and being accurate down to the speed of the animations. One thing I've noticed, however, is that the clouds are fond of dipping low. I've seen one that actually slipped below the bridge. But eh, minor concern. ~ The Realm ~ Risen Angel's Creatures Blog   Moe     5/21/2010 Thank you! Still much to do! As for the clouds... lol, I prefer them dropping down into the waterfall canyon, actually. I could have hard-coded them not to drop below a certain point, but I wanted them free and versatile, just as a cloud, and weather system, should be. So if you see the clouds wandering through the dungeon below the Norn burrow, or down in the swamps, just pretend it's fog. lol (And for that matter, low lying clouds will roll in off the coast in the night through morning.) Besides, Norns are encouraged to "push weather".   ratkinzluver33   5/23/2010 Sounds awesome! Can't wait 'till all the parts are created! Just a little suggestion it would be really handy if you actually made a door since you pointed out that there isn't one. ~Ratty <3   Moe     5/23/2010 Oh yeah, I'll cook something up, I just haven't yet.   ratkinzluver33   5/23/2010 I am looking forward to seeing this new "door" rofl ~Ratty <3   Small Birb Pann     5/25/2010 Wow, I can't wait to try this out! Just have to reinstall Creatures Exodus first. Small bird who lives here sometimes, and wanders other times. Got Creatures related content to share? Submit to Heck Yeah, Creatures! Icon by gettehld on twitter!   bjw   5/27/2010 Hi! I'm new to the forum. Just wanted to compliment you on the good job with the sprites on c22DS. I'm getting an error when I try to access my world that has c22DS in use on it. The error looks like this: CSE0001: Caught C-style structured exception at 0x00513738 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION The thread attempted to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access. Attempt was to read from address 0xF9D2EFB7 Contained in: "private: void __thiscall Map::GetNearbyFloorInformation(class Vector2D const &,class Room * *,int &" in Map.obj Contained in: "public: void __thiscall Map::TestNewUpFootInRoomSystem(class Vector2D const &,class Vector2D const &,class Vector2D const &,float,float,float,float,int,bool,class Vector2D &,float &,float &,bool &,int &,bool &,bool &" in Map.obj Contained in: "protected: void __thiscall SkeletalCreature::UpdateFeet(void)" in SkeletalCreature.obj Contained in: "public: void __thiscall SkeletalCreature::UpdateSkeleton(void)" in SkeletalCreature.obj Contained in: "public: void __thiscall SkeletalCreature::MoveTowardsTargetPoseString(v Anyone know what this could be and if there's any way I can salvage this world? Thanks.   Moe     5/27/2010 I'm afraid I have no idea how to help you. That's an engine memory error, not a sprite or CAOS error. C2toDS may not even have anything to do with it, sorry. Hope someone else is more helpful.   Silverpelt   5/27/2010 looks like a memory issue to me, but I'm no expert. maybe try closing unneeded programs(eg. anything that isn't a virus scan) or restarting. and see if it happens again.   Patient Pirate ylukyun Manager   5/27/2010 It sort of looks like a creature may have gone in an invalid map area.   Liam     5/28/2010 New blog post up! - Liam / K'aeloree Spellhold Studios, a Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights and Oblivion Modding Community   bjw   5/28/2010 This makes sense, I did put quite a few creatures in the world and used a few new breeds that I just downloaded, so any number of errors could have happened. I think I'll experiment with C22DS some more with a few other worlds. I've been trying it on DS only without docking it with C3. I'm anxious to see how C22DS will turn out once your next developments are finished. It really is beautiful. Anyway, keep up the good work!   Malkin Manager     8/20/2010 I hope the next preview agent gets released soon... I'm not sure what I'd like it to be, though... XD My TCR Norns   Geek Ettin eprillios     8/20/2010 Yeah, I really want to know which update is coming next. Geek Ettin's Lab (New!) Bill Gates: "Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one."   Moe     9/3/2010 C2toDS Blog has been updated, with a special feature on Connectable gadgets, machines, and vendors from the Creatures 2 era.   Wiimeiser   9/3/2010 I think a LOT more agents need connectors.

C2toDS is going to be awsome!   Dinofan137   10/24/2010 I tried to inject C2toDS Base in my Docking Station, but when I try to inject it, the injector says that the injection fails with the following lines : Script 1 Failed to set room type ... 5 49055 49140 49141 @ rtyp va000 rmsc 5076 49098 "C...
