I've only got a bit of time and I'm going to be a bit busy lately, so could you excuse any absences? The weather sounds a great idea. I'll see if I can work on some sprites if I have the time, and I'll get AJ onto it. Can I ask you one question Annex? Can you make a vendor a bit like the creator, that only vends certain kinds of agents? In this case it would be an agent that finds different plants and animals that you have installed and creates a picture and a name for them (a bit like muco) and allows you to create them. This would mean that any C3 or 3rd party agents that you have installed could also be created. This would be useful in the Biodome, because It would save you having to transport seeds etc. from the comms room.
See you all soon!

Do you mean an vendor that injects agents we create for the room, or just any agents? If it is a set list of agents, that is no problem, but it sounds like what you want is, basically, an agent injector; that could be a bit of a challenge. I am good at CAOS, but that is an area I have not looked at yet.
That does not, however, mean I cannot do it. Let me have a look and I wil let you know what I can do.

I did mean an injector, but it doesn't matter that much. AJ should be coming here as soon as he gets online, but I can't be sure. Annex, did you see our first sprite for the pesticide spray? If anyone's got a moment, we could work on that. A sort of promo agent if you like. The pic is... www.villagephotos.com/viewpubimage.asp?id_=6007664 there. EDIT: Sorry about the quality, It needed to be converted to JPEG

Hi everyone! *sees title* Aw no, N00b?! Very well, I'm here now. (The grendel at the previeous page is a new breed I and Red Dragon is working with, but it's going slow becuse it's exreamly boring re-coloring all thouse face sprites The grendel is acully a female, the males will be red instead of yellow, will have a slightly bigger "sail" and their skin will be more green.) I don't remember if i made my e-mail visible or not, but here it is: ahlafors_anna@hotmail.com lol, not that it really matters but i'm acully not a he but a she

AJ is a she? *bonk* never would have guessed Well, you can improve your rank by getting your posts up - for example in the word association game in the general forum and generally exploring the forum, making new threads and such forth. Without all that potential discussion it gets rather quiet in here. Hopefully you'll crack it Annex ;D There's likely a nice full code for the injector within the C3 source code - but you'll likely not to be able to get at it so that suggestion isn't much help. AJ - any notes on that grendel breed? It looks quite good. Perhaps you could do some publicity affiliations with this project or even go as far as to combine the projects and release the grendel breed seperately for those who want only the breed? Just a thought.

yes, that would been a very nice idea. But i've promised Red Dragon that she will have that breed on her site (it is after all she who will put together and program them), but i think it will be okay if we put it up for download as well. I will ask. But it's pretty painful to create touse breeds, it takes alot of time and is very boring There's one thing that bothers me, the changeble part of the backround, I'm not completly sure how to hande these grapichs yet. I think i would need to know quite soon wich eviroment there will be, the only one that i've heard about yet is a snowey one. I don't mind too much about have the rank n00b, it's sort of funny ^^; I'll might post around a little in the WH part of the forum if i get in the right mood

Yeah, that'll certainly be the most challenging part of all I'm sure there are workaround though. And of course you'll have noticed I'm finally playing with the color schemes on this message board

-AJ-, I'll do a plant remover, I don't know about the pesticide sprayer though. I know the etch command so I can do a removal thing but but a pesticide spray might be a bit beyond me. Does it go along the same lines as a remover? Actually, I could do that. -AJ-, just E-mail me the graphics and I'll see what I can do. BTW, Have you done the whole sprite? I mean the spray? I know you've got the object but are you using the normal spray graphic? I don't know how to do a ranged remover, now that I think about it. Annex?
Too many darn questions!!!!

P.S. Could you get the banner done, someone?
Edit: Check out my other idea on GE's forums in the C3 development section, about the In-Game Book.

I'm sorry I called you a boy AJ. It's the grendel avatar that does it. I'm not quite sure how the interchangeable backgrounds are going to work, I'll have to get on to Annex about that. For the Pesticide spray, I meant a spray that would kill pests. Rather than just making them disappear, can you make them die? Like the Stingers when you slap them. I thought we'd rip the spray graphic off the hoverdoc. It's free and It looks good anyway.

The spray graphic is also copyrighted - unless this is for DS exclusively you cannot do it. Sure, I'd like to see your sketches AJ

No worries. I'm often misstaken for being male ^^; but that's one of the fun part with internet, once can't get judge by looks in any way I (and Skarsnik) has the spray sprite, i can create a cloud if we don't want to use the DS ones. Any of the programers that is intrested to program an animal? Here's a complete sprite set for some sort of fly, I just wanted to try if i could handle the graphics and i think it looks pretty good. But it's better if you could judge that, comments highly wanted, so I know what to improve. since i have a anglefire acount and we seam to be quite alone here, i'll put them up for a temporary download (tell me if you prefere e-mail instead) Spray (no clouds): www.angelfire.com/pokemon2/pet_keeper/spray.zipFly-thingie: www.angelfire.com/pokemon2/pet_keeper/fly.zip

Hiya! Umm... I'm not sure if I culd make them die but I *could* make them dissapear. Once again, Annex? sorry for thinking you were a boy, Its the Avatar, as Skarsnik said. Should I do the external agents, like the fly-thingie? Also, I'd love to do critters but I have no idea how to do them Annex, once again, would you mind teaching me that sorta stuff? Hmmnn...

That fly thing is really good Perhaps it needs wing flapping animations mind (unless it already has 'em, but I don't think it did) ;D Perhaps you should rig up a new ecosystem concept that would be the standard biodome eco, then think about how you could change it afterwards
