Help Forum Merboy's Creatures 2 Questions    Merboy      1/31/2018 EDIT: I think I'm going to have a LOT of questions so instead of posting a whole slew of new threads I'm going to contain them in this easy-ignorable thread should you not wish to continuously see my shenanigans. Original question: Because I can't pester this forum enough apparently I just wanted to ask if there was a way to back up a Creatures 2 world? I downloaded Alba from Ccaves (which btw, I'm not sure it worked. The description says that Don injected a new incubator in the Grendel area and some other changes but I saw none when I created a new world after installing Alba - did I do something incorrectly?). Next I went around the world making it exactly the way I wanted it with all my cobs and whatnot and moving things around. Feathering my nest, so to speak. Now I'm ready for creatures but before I introduce them to the work with all their wacky macro mishaps and coding chaos I wanted to back up this new world I just prepared. You know, just in case something goes amiss I can just go back to my clean, freshly set up world. I exited C2 and then made a copy of this new world's sfc file but I'm not sure this is the way to do it. Maybe someone else knows how to do this? Thanks! The Lantern Light.com   Patient Pirate ylukyun Manager   1/31/2018  2 Yes, that's the way you do it. Any copies should work as long as you retain the relevant sprite and sound files. Make sure it's the right world file though. GOG.com's C2 stores all your world files (including the current World.sfc) in your My Documents C2 folder, not the Program Files C2 folder.   Merboy   1/31/2018 Bam! That's exactly what I needed to know, thank you so much ylukyun!!! The Lantern Light.com   Merboy   2/1/2018 Ok, so next question. Does anyone have the C2 sprite named 7UZR.S16? My game started throwing an error at me that said it couldn't find that file and thus would crash the game. Even games I had backed up. I'm not sure why all of a sudden it needs this file but in any case I looked for it in my GOG-images folder and it wasn't there. It also wasn't there in the My Documents-images folder. So I copied a random file and renamed it 7UZR.S16. So now my game works fine except all the creatures' torsos are floating outside of their bodies. So I'm hoping someone has the correct 7UZR.S16 perhaps? The Lantern Light.com   Lollipop Lord C-Rex     2/1/2018 Are you using my Updated Eden by any chance? I had a problem similar to yours and couldn't fix it.   Merboy   2/1/2018 I have been through your site a few times (and love it btw - I particularly love the concept behind the S&M Norns) but I haven't seen any Updated Eden. Where might I find such a world? What did you do to resolve the issue you had? The Lantern Light.com   Merboy   2/2/2018 How does one uninstall a breed? I got the Mimikry Norns and I must say I'm not much for them. How do I know which files to omit? The Lantern Light.com   Lollipop Lord C-Rex     2/2/2018 The updated Eden was a word file that I uploaded to Creatures Caves, but I had some issues with it when I used it in my most recent livestream, so I wondered if you might have had the same issue.   GimmeCat   2/4/2018  2 @Merboy Use ReSlot to uninstall breeds.   Merboy   2/4/2018 Thank you Gimme!!! The Lantern Light.com   Merboy   2/5/2018 Ok so next question. Why is the 40 norn cheat no longer working for me... It worked previously but then I reinstalled the game (GOG version) and now it won't work. The coding seems to target a folder for CyberLife Technology\Creatures 2 but shouldn't it target something else since this is the GOG version? I'm not sure. Like I said, it worked previously but now it's not. And while we're at it, is there a way to up the number of norns even higher than 40? And to eliminate ettin? [CODE]REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CyberLife Technology\Creatures 2\1.0] "MaxNorns"=dword:00000028[/CODE] There's also the Population Cheat posted by Missmysterica in the C2 cob downloads on Ccaves but that seems to be a broken link. The Lantern Light.com   Lollipop Lord C-Rex     2/5/2018 I believe there is a gameware development folder too which should also be edited.   Merboy   2/5/2018 Hm. I wonder what the process is to make this happen then if the 40 norns cheat no longer works. Currently my creatures are suspiciously getting sick and dying whenever the population gets around the limit. The Lantern Light.com
