Development Forum Creating a custom Creatures 2 World    TheDrunkenNorn     7/11/2017  2 (This snippet was taken from Page 2 of my Creatures 2 Wolfling Run series.) Just as this snippet points out, I'm incredibly interested in creating a Creatures 2 world with very specific... specifications. I know it is possible; for we have the Albian Sea Bay and Montu. I'd love ANY leads on how one would go about creating a custom world. That'd be more than amazing. That cute little bugger in my avatar is <UnNamed> from my Creatures 2 Wolfling Runs!

My TCR Norns   TheDrunkenNorn     7/11/2017 Thanks. Here's my progress; this is scaled down obviously. The real version is very high-resolution. Compared to vanilla map size.

I have step 1B done in that I have a pixel-perfect map the exact size of the original game world. That cute little bugger in my avatar is <UnNamed> from my Creatures 2 Wolfling Runs!

However, the readme for Back2Spr asks for a Dos.Bat file in the Creatures 2 directory, something that isn't there. Where do I get this file?

I can convert an image to a C2 background file if you want. Its one of the features of the map editor i posted in the development forum in fact. The option won't be selectable if you don't have the right dimensions for the file. I can't help with adding rooms though, i don't know how the C2 format for rooms works.   TheDrunkenNorn     7/11/2017 That's fine, Geat_Masta! I'll send it over to you after I make an update to my Wolfling Run series. Thank you. That cute little bugger in my avatar is <UnNamed> from my Creatures 2 Wolfling Runs!

Click here if you'd like to know more.   TheDrunkenNorn     7/11/2017 The backdrop linker isn't accepting the .S16 BAKN file, despite that it is the exact size as the original Back.S16. I don't get it; what did I do wrong here? I used Geat_Masta's converter to convert a pixel-perfect to the original map's size .BMP into a C2 file, then put it into the images folder of the NATH Creatures 2 directory. I don't know why the Background linker isn't working here. It detects the correct worlds fine, but it doesn't detect any .S16 files except for Back.s16. The Readme isn't exactly helpful here: Creatures 2 Background Linker ============================= Allows you to change the Creatures 2 background file for any world file. For use in creating new worlds. Please to not redistribute this zip file or its contents. Downloaded from Don AmberCreatures www.creatures.amberz.net Great, thanks. Mind putting into your readme why your executable doesn't work? That cute little bugger in my avatar is <UnNamed> from my Creatures 2 Wolfling Runs!

Thats how it worked in C1.   TheDrunkenNorn     7/11/2017 I don't know. I'm following this guide http://nornenmeister.creaturesforum.de/help_weltenerstellung.html I haven't the slightest clue how to do any of this.

Click here if you'd like to know more.   Malkin Manager     7/11/2017 Maybe it needs the file name to be S16, not s16? My TCR Norns   TheDrunkenNorn     7/12/2017  1 @Malkin Already tried that. It turns out that it's just an error in Geat_Masta's conversion thingy. He said he'll update it soon. That cute little bugger in my avatar is <UnNamed> from my Creatures 2 Wolfling Runs!

I'll have to find a workaround. That cute little bugger in my avatar is <UnNamed> from my Creatures 2 Wolfling Runs!

Thanks GimmeCat. Update: This world is well underway. That cute little bugger in my avatar is <UnNamed> from my Creatures 2 Wolfling Runs! Click here if you'd like to know more.
