Thanks for the attempted replies, anyway. :lol I wonder why the board malfunctioned so. Aaaanyway. I changed the appropriate files in the x_100_whatever z2f and now have absolute hordes of crocodile babies. It's quite nice really.

-does the fish-slapping dance- I'm female! Artemis was the Greek goddess of the moon and the hunt. She was later renamed Diana (the Huntress) by the Romans, who borrowed many elements of religion from the Greeks.

If you pronouce it Ahr-tem-is, it's male, and Ahr-tem-ees is female. ^^

Edited for spelling.

could someone help me out with this? What folder do you start with? Do you go to 'start', then 'my computer' and so on or what? I am confused.

conservationkid · « **Reply #27 on:** May 08, 2006, 04:14:42 PM »

can someone actually make a hack, so those of us, who are, how do i say, less technically enclined, could use, because, i love babies...lol

germanwolf · « **Reply #28 on:** May 08, 2006, 08:09:44 PM »

I wouldn't really want a hack, just a walk through or something that would help me understand how to do it.

conservationkid · « **Reply #29 on:** May 09, 2006, 05:31:58 PM »

The problem is that you are in HorsePrzewalskisWild.beh when you should be in HorsePrzewalskisWild.tsk.

I hope this helps you!

conservationkid · « **Reply #31 on:** May 09, 2006, 05:51:44 PM »

ok, i had a feeling that that was the problem, now, when i do find it, i have to copy and paste it into a new notepad, to get it to a stage where it can be edited, then, what do i have to do, sorry if i am being annoying.

penguinman · « **Reply #32 on:** May 09, 2006, 06:06:44 PM »

First off: Don't copy and paste it into a new notepad, follow these instructions:

Copy and paste a file from the archive to somewhere on your comp. Then right click and say "open with..." and then select "Choose Program..." then select the check-box about always use this program... etc. and select notepad. Then when you go back into the archive and double click on a tsk file it will open in notepad.

Once you are in the tsk file, just do like you were in the beh file where you search for the tag and edit it. You had it completely right, except you were just in the wrong file

.

This is weird... I have altered the
line in 13 animals, always using the BEH, not the TSK file; however, after reading this thread, I opened the HorsePrzewalskisWild files, and I couldn't find the line anywhere in either file!! I randomly chose the Dromedary Camel to look at next, and its files are missing the also!!

I can find the place it should be,

[this is where minPlays="2" maxPlays="3" needs to be inserted]>

But, I'm afraid to try to add it. Just for comparison purposes, this is the same section from cheetah.beh:

Why would they leave this line out in only some animals???? :confused:

conservationkid · « **Reply #35 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:16:55 AM »

that is exactly what i thought! I could not find that minplays, maxplays anywhere, so yah, what a weird thing. Just moer incentive to keep working on it. I know that i edited the files for JPOG, and that wasnt hard at all. I dont know why this is so hard.

penguinman · « **Reply #36 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:58:34 AM »

Ok, I *think* I know why this happens and how to fix it.

There is probably a default min and max which shows up if nothing else does. My guess is that this is 1 and 1 because the horse and camel both only ever have one baby at a time. Also animals such as the chimpanzee, and gorilla don't have it.

So, you will have to insert it manually by copying it from another animal and pasting it in, exactly as you did in your post Wildlife Enthusiast. Does this make since?

conservationkid · « **Reply #37 on:** May 10, 2006, 04:04:38 PM »

ok, i thinki it is starting to make sense, however, when you say copy and paste the archive somewhere on ur comp, what on earth do u mean, do u just copy the text in the beh file, or do you actually take the file, or what?:confused:

penguinman · « **Reply #38 on:** May 10, 2006, 04:07:40 PM »

Copy and paste the file itself. Then follow the instructions, then delete the copied file and double click on the original in the archive.

conservationkid · « **Reply #39 on:** May 10, 2006, 04:11:51 PM »

sorry if i am annoying, but i would just copy and paste all the info, when it is in the display thingy, where you view it, and paste it into a new word pad, cause i can't take away the .beh file at all, it won't let me copy it at all.

penguinman · « **Reply #40 on:** May 10, 2006, 04:42:32 PM »

Well you can try that, but you have to edit the acual .tsk file that the game looks at in the files. I don't see how you are going to get your edits into the .tsk file.

germanwolf · « **Reply #41 on:** May 10, 2006, 05:40:50 PM »

Sorry if this is annoying/stupid, but what folder do you actually start with? I have no idea where to start.

penguinman · « **Reply #42 on:** May 10, 2006, 05:51:46 PM »

Start in ai then tasks, then animals

conservationkid · « **Reply #43 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:30:57 PM »

I figured it out. yay, im so happy. But one more question, do you think we could enter in the random sets thingy, for the rest of the animals, like horses, elephants, and antelopes?

germanwolf · « **Reply #44 on:** May 10, 2006, 09:09:37 PM »

Are you supposed tp open the ai folder?

Crookshankz227 · « **Reply #45 on:** May 10, 2006, 11:58:56 PM »

All animals have the random babies thing. For elephants, both Min and max plays are equal to one. Just change max plays to whatever number you want to.

penguinman · « **Reply #46 on:** May 11, 2006, 05:11:59 AM »

germanwolf: Yes, open the ai folder.

conservationkid · « **Reply #47 on:** May 11, 2006, 04:03:26 PM »

awesome, found it, took me awhile but i am so happy that i figured this out, i think i might make a whole zoo with animal babies??? what a good idea...

Catlover101 · « **Reply #48 on:** May 12, 2006, 02:53:02 PM »

I have heard about editing the game but how do you get to the files,that you need to change?

Catlover101 · « **Reply #49 on:** May 12, 2006, 03:09:41 PM »

How do you get to those files?

Please do not post more than once in a row; this is not a chat-thread and responces take time. I would recomend reading the rules - penguinman
