Hello!
I have a question, is there any way to recover a C2 world that may be corrupted? I'm afraid after trying to inject a cob (can't remember which one) my world crashed. Now every time I try to load up the world an error pops that says "Encountered an improper argument".
Is there any way to save the world? I did save a copy way before this happened. I am playing C2 on Steam and I don't see a way to load a world file.
Any help or advice is appreciated! Even if it's to tell me I'm doomed lol
Thank you! |

It sounds like the Steam launcher isn't using the world switcher - running the game via the world switcher eg. "C: \GOG Games\Creatures 2\launcher.exe" will let you make and load new ones.
This popup is something I've seen twice:
1. At random while playing the world Flying Wonderland after days of playtime.
2. While developing a COB.
The problem with the COB was I gave the new: command a number of frames that was too small.
As soon as I caught that, I no longer encountered the error. Whatever COB you were injecting has a similar problem.
Since worlds' scriptoriums can slowly become corrupt over time under whatever version of of the Community Edition I was playing with last year (does this also happen in base C2???), I think the original encounter was an agent getting corrupted to have the wrong number of frames in a new: statement or a different unrecoverable syntax error.
My own experience is the world is completely gone and will stay stuck looking "paused" forever, but I somehow was able to export my norns from the world in the first case.

Ah, well that's unfortunate
Thank you so much for replying especially since I didn't even think to check and see if I could export my norns. I was able to do so! That made me feel so relieved that now I'm fine with starting a new world.
I just wish there was a way to load a saved world file.
The steam version does have the world switcher I just can't find a way to load a saved file that I had made as backup.
Thank you again! |
