This is just a funny part of the game. Type in(with the quotes) "Why is the world flat?". To fix it, type in "Why is the world round?".

Ummm...Well i may as well mention it although it can be very time consuming:
If you get frustrated with norns who can't take care of themselves my IQ test. helps.

For some reason common sense is heridetary in norns so you can seletivly breed them to be able to care for themselves.
Sometimes results are obvious because its often much easier to get the babies to use the learning machine.

Other than that....
oh if they won't use the machine typing targ norn vocb in the caos line teaches them to speak.
And if they get stuck at a life stage targ norn ages 1 will make them jump to the next one.

Thats about it really, sorry if you knew most of this already.

You can run like a river, Till you end up in the sea
And you run till night is black, And keep on going in your dreams
And you know all the long while, It's the journey that you seek
It's the miles of moving forward, With the wind beneath your wings

I wouldn't use
targ norn dead
because I think it works on all creatures and it killed my best norn! Weeping

OK, heres some CAOS:

targ norn sezz "Ho hum!" : Selected creature says "Ho hum!"

targ hots outv tick tick 0 : Obect with cursor on stops(no scrips run, etc)

targ hots tick X : Replace X with the number you got from the above CAOS, and the cursor'd agent will restart.

kill hots : Destroys selected agent

targ norn chem 125 1 : makes selected norn have a longer lifespan

targ norn ages 1 : makes selected creature older 1 step. Beware, last step is DEAD.

enum 4 0 0 vocb next : teaces all creatures words

targ twin hots 0 : replicates curser'd agent

targ hots setv va00 attr addv va00 2 attr va00 : curser'd agent is pick-upable

meta 6 1 1 1 : takes you the the space invaders area

setv game "scared" :starts space invader game

Keys:

Ctrl + Shift +E : Creates lots of food

I made an agent for AA's b-day last year that when a norn used it the norn would say 'They're coming to take me away, haha!'. Tongue

Not like it's anything special, but it can come in handy. You can go to the room were you create agents (forgot the name of the room.) the cameras can allow you to move them by clicking on the pictcher it puts it on the big screen, and you can use the arrows to move it. Then the buttons to the side of the cameras will telaport you to the location of the camera.

Uh... no... I don't believe you can make them younger... unless you re-nornimate them.

The code for that room was meta 5 0 0 0
It took you to a space with what looked like a map of something, a little box that told you the season and time of day and the toilet control.

Does anyone remember the one for space invaders or any of the other secret things?
i think meta 1-9 0 0 0
and meta 1-9 1 1 1
all did thingws like that but i never got around to trying them.

I believe you have to have C3 in order to play or the metaroom location of 6 1 1 1 is invalid. You can play the game in DS as long as it is Docked with C3.

setv game "scared" 1 meta 6 1 1 1

Click on the Grendel to start. Arrow keys control the norn head movement. Space bar to fire. You only get three norn heads. Avoid the blue bombs from the grendels.

Uh... I tried it your way... it didn't start the game...

It does start with the directions that I gave a few posts up the forum though.

yup. that's 'cause DS doesn't wipe the map when creating a new world, so the startup screen stays there as that metaroom if the world isn't docked...
sometimes agents can show up in that room- especially when silly people like me are debugging new agents and forget to put in a mvto command... Smile

if you want to make a norn younger(for a wolfling run or anything else) export it make a copy of it and splice the two copies togeter
(only c3 or docked)

Camera code
Ctrl + Shift+ X
^ That will tell you where you are on the creatures map.
caos command
cmra XXXX XXXX 0
replace X with the number with what you got from the camera code, when you use the code it will bring you to the place

Map Re-Sizeing
mapd 10000 10000
That is the normal size of the creatures map. You can replace the current numbers with whatever you want, but i wouldnt change it to a smaller size, also if you want to make it smaller and there is a place on the map that requires more space than that then the engine will refuse to make it smaller. I made an agent that brings the map to it's normal size.

How-to:

Store norns in your inventory.

Or stop a norn from dieing (I think)

WARNING: Your screen will start moving fast fast (Or not, depending on which way your norn is pointing Mr. Green

) Temporarily (Unless your norn is obsessed with right)...

All the things like Angelnorn or Devilnorn or Selected creature halo thingy (tm) will probably be hidden.

Shift+Right-click will grab a creature.

Ctrl+I Will store it into your inventory.

Pick it up with Shift+Right-click and take it out afterwards.

I think he/she will begin to slow, and eventually stop moving and lose all responsiveness. Just take him/her out.
