My brother and I are working on a bubble blower / bubble wand agent, and although it worked when he was manually injecting the COS file (he's coding the thing), my AGENT file crashes DS whenever I select it. I have a feeling it has something to do with the sprites.
Can someone please check it out and tell me what I've done wrong? I'd greatly appreciate the help! You can download what I have here: http://www.zenzoa.com/downloads/bubble_blower.zip
I am running the Mac OS X version of Creatures Exodus, testing in an undocked DS world. I'm using Jagent (http://creatures.wikia.com/wiki/Jagent) to compile the C16 and AGENT files.
Thank you in advance. I have a feeling I did something quite stupid and just haven't realized what yet!

Welcome to the forums sarako 
I can have a look at the pray .txt file later on to see if the problem is there but if you wanted someone with a Mac to test the file and you find you don't get any replies here, then you might need to post in the official Gameware forums. They have a number of Mac players/third party developers who might be able to offer some assistance

I did do *something* stupid: I forget to include the sound file as a dependency! For now, I'm including "pop_.wav" as "bubble_pop.wav" in my agent. I updated the zip file.
However, it still doesn't work. I don't mind it if anyone at all tests it, I don't think it's a Mac specific problem. But thank you! I'll keep the Gameware forums in mind.

I get the following error:
Please make sure the following file exists and is writable:
.\Sounds\bubb.wav
The system cannot find the file specified.
Looks like a sound file is still missing.

For some reason the underscores in the C16 file name and the longer WAV filename were throwing it off.
BUT it still doesn't work perfectly. It will randomly disappear sometimes when a norn or the hand activates it. Also, the agent help isn't working properly, thought this may be a Mac problem. Any ideas?

Try turning off Autokill and seeing what error messages show up.

Odd... it doesn't disappear when I turn off autokill. No errors, it just works perfectly.

Try searching for a file called creatures_engine_logfile.txt - according to Hausmouse, it'll give you a starting point.

That doesn't appear to actually update for the Mac version of Creatures Exodus. Does the Bubble Blower die randomly for other people, too? I know some agents just don't work well on the Mac.

Do you need PC testing, too? I'll be happy to test it out, but I don't have a Mac.

That would be great! The agent should work fine on a PC, except for the random disappearing thing. Who knows, that might solve itself on a PC, too. Thanks!

Aha! It was something stupid after all. I had to make each sprite used by the agent the same size. Thanks to RProgrammer for his help!
I will post the final version of the bubble blower very soon.
UPDATE: You can get the final version at Home Sweet Albia. Hurrah!
