Hey! I'm making a small set of graphical revamps for the bug's temple metaroom and some of it's related agents, they're all ones where the existing art had graphical errors or art styles that clash with official game art, the idea being to make them a little more useable and/or gel with other rooms better. The issue I've had is that on my own I don't yet have the skill to combine my new c16 files with the existing agent scripts. I've tried more than once myself, but to no avail, the agents will simply express the old artwork/ect even if they only contain new artwork and such. BASICALLY I have everything ready and done, I just can't do that final step on my own where everything is packaged neatly into agents. literally all I'd need is someone to take the agents, the new c16s, replace the old c16s, and check they're working. There's no time consuming script writing or anything! I hate to bother others with my own projects, but nothing I've tried has worked and I won't be happy to release anything to the fan base in awkward chunks. The Mossy Shee & Co |

Have you tried removing the old .c16 files from your images folder before attempting to inject your agents? If the new ones are named the same as the old ones, the game will think the images have already been installed if the old ones are still in the images folder. If that hasn't/doesn't work, then I'm interested in helping you out. Just give me everything I might need and I'll see what I can do. Risen Angel's Creatures Blog |

Grendel_Man wrote: actually, I'd love to be able to just test like that! for reasons I'm not sure of (since you're not the first person to suggest that!) removing c16 files from my images folder (even if I'm not using those agents or have deleted all my game worlds) causes my game engine to throw up error strings and crash on start up. I really don't know why that is but it's really annoying! It's exciting that you're interested though! I'd love a hand, although you also don't have to rush to do it all at once, just at whatever pace was easiest for you c: The Mossy Shee & Co |

Perhaps you should try taking a screenshot of the error(s) and posting them in the help section? It all sounds rather strange to me. I am probably going to be a little busy tomorrow though, and I doubt I'd get to them tonight, but otherwise I've no major distractions in my life right now (unless you count Smash Bros.) and I'm more or less ready to work on them whenever.

awesome! Also I found out on my missing cos files thread that some of the problems I've been having seem to be related to file extensions and compatibility with my operating system, so I actually CAN make a few of the agents myself, but I still have, for instance, the wind chime and curlshoot agents that just go poof when I try to work on them~ It would actually be really handy if you just tried ripping them open in your programs and sticking them back together to see if they work on yours? If that's not an inconvenience of course c': they're here down as 'chime' and 'curlshoot' respectively! The Mossy Shee & Co |

I've taken both agents and tried to decompile than recompile them both. For the decompiling I used Monk (part of Jagent) and for recompiling I used EasyPRAY like I usually do. I had absolutely no issues with the curlshoot. It decompiled and recompiled just fine, and the resulting agent works without issues in my game. The chime was a different matter. I tried using Jagent for it and got an error (that was mentioned in your other topic), and when I turned to Revelation I got the images and sounds but not the .cos file. To actually get at the CAOs I had to open the .agents file directly with Notepad. Once I made a new .cos file and went from there, I again got a fully functional agent. My recompiled agents are here so you can test them out for yourself. Let me know how they work out for you. Risen Angel's Creatures Blog |

they seem to be working! not only that but I can actually decompile them and it seems like all their files are actually THERE now. I don't actually understand the particulars of what you did but I'm extremely grateful! The Mossy Shee & Co |
