Development Forum CAOS Tool connection error    Geek2Nurse        6/26/2012 My CAOS Tool has suddenly decided to make me crazy. First it said caos.syntax didn't exist in Cprogram files....\Creatures 3, and refused to start. It was working fine last time I used it. So I reinstalled it. But it still gave the same error. So I found caos.syntax in the C...documents version of C3 (yeah, I have the stupid Exodus version with the redundant directories where it can never find things correctly), and copied it over. CAOS Tool started happily. Then I tried injecting the script I've been working on. It informed me it couldn't establish a connection with the game. I've restarted the game, restarted CAOS Tool, in every order. No luck. Anybody know what's going on? --- Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty.

I used to get that message if I was running one program as an Administrator but not the other.   Geek2Nurse     6/26/2012 Nope...Administrator is the only logon in my virtual Windoze. --- Optimist: the glass is half full.

But if you aren't doing it with one already that's probably not the issue, so maybe it's an Exodus problem instead?   Geek2Nurse     6/26/2012 I dunno... *sigh* I'm sitting here going through the registry, and I have so many different sets of registry keys for the game; some under Creature Labs, some under CyberLife Technology, and some under Gameware Development...No wonder my setup is so screwy! --- Optimist: the glass is half full.

Urk. Is there a site anywhere with tips on how to install DS & Creatures Exodus on Win XP the RIGHT way, so I can make it work in less than 2 days this time? And maybe actually be able to see catalogue files and stuff? (I've done some seaches, but haven't had much luck yet...we need a Wiki page for this!) --- Optimist: the glass is half full.
