So. About 10 years ago, main I and Liam created a metaroom together. This one; http://creaturescaves.com/downloads.php?section=Metarooms&view=63 As a surprise or... something, we made a mosquito-like creature not only spawn in the metaroom but also in the Grendel Jungle. Unfortunately, these critter seem to go BESERK in the Jungle and multiply at an insane rate. It's so bad that it's nearly impossible have both the Hideout and the Jungle injected at the same time. And that's no fun. So I wish to correct this issue and make these critter stop spawn in the Jungle all together. I know a tad bit of CAOS but not nearly enough to figure out how Liam did this. Now, I have tried for a few hours but I just cannot figure it out. A few things I've figured out so far: > I found the chunk that creates the critters but when I removed it, both the critters and the C3 mosquitoes stopped spawning. > If removing the mosquito.cos from the C3 folder, the critter still works and still spawn in both the Hideout & the Jungle. > If removing the "grendel seed bank.cos", the critter still works and still spawn in both the Hideout & the Jungle. > There seem to be no coordinates that match the Jungle in the Hideout script. This bamboozles me! Could someone help me out here? I'll add the part of the code that I think contain the "flaw" in the a follow up post in a moment. |

Wow, it's been 10 years? Man, time flies. Anyway, the issue is that there's a bit of code that overrides the mossie fly egg script, so that the invisible eggs the mossie fly lays instead hatch into the Grendel Hideout bug. The population check on the egg also doesn't look for the Grendel Hideout bug; it looks for mossie flies. The result is a whole lot of mosquitoes in the Jungle Terrarium. To get rid of it entirely, here's the bit of code to remove:

That's splendid, thank you so much! I did the alteration and got things up and running with exactly the results I had hoped for. I wonder if you would like to be added into the credits? I'm looking into doing some small graphical tweaks too, but then it's ready for use. I am also slightly weirded out it was about ten years since the room was created o_O;; |
