Papriko, that fix is the bramboo patch I mentioned.

I definitely feel as though the lack of new content is a major reason for my silence, which is quite hypocritical. If you want something, go out and make it. But I feel very intimidated about getting into anything besides genetics, and I barely stumbled through making a breed into a usable agent due to the script portion. I guess more tutorials might be helpful, I know they're out there, but centralizing them and making it easier to navigate is a must.

I guess I'm trying to say, if someone can help show me how to make a metaroom, for example, I would absolutely love to. And it's stuff like that which makes me pick this game up back again and start communicating more. Maybe if we can give each other the tools we can revitalize this community, or start sparking interest in collaboration between parties who might have certain strengths.

Also, there's an automatic injector around here somewhere that I got set up on my install to automatically put my favorite agents into the game at the start. It injects gardenbox and magic words, etc. For the love of all that is good in this world I can't remember the name of it, but it was very useful to reduce set up time. Something similar, plus having all the fixes install automatically would help new players.

Making a metaroom, especially a good one at that, is a long and complicated process and isn't quite for everyone. Agents, on the other hand...

I may make a more insightful post later, but I noticed this comment by Papriko and wanted to share a thing I do;

And it is not even conveniently in one place, you have to puzzle it all together on your own from half a dozen different download sections! GAAAAAAAHHH!!! Just let me play already! And you have to go through this every time you (re)install a game!



I got a trick that I use if I change computer or the alike. I simply copy my old DS and C3 folders straight off. Once on a new computer, I'll install the games as usual but then paste in old files over the new installation and replace everything.
There's a lot of limits to this but generally it works and will save you loads of time and headaches.

Off course, ones could make a similar thing that newbies, or people who want to start fresh, can download. We could make a *.zip that simply contain the same folder system with all essential files sorted in. All the new player need to do now is "drag, drop & replace" and they'll be ready to go. It would take some organization and permissions to put it together but it should work.
A installation doing this would be fancy, but manually adding the files like described shouldn't be too hard. Concider to let all agents that are included to be pre-unpacked for simplicity sake.

(For example, there would be a folder called "Bootstrap", in it a folder called "010 Docking Station", and in it the fixed "bramboo.cos" file)

A while back I made a list of useful agents and fixes to make the C3DS installation and play experience as convenient as possible. However, they're not all in the same place because everybody's permission to host them would be required. Like Nirax suggested, just copying and pasting your main C3DS folders to new computers is a useful and quick way to transfer everything at once. Much the same, I saved my important downloads (listed above) on an external drive so that they were easy to find once I moved to my new machine/reinstalled the game.
