Subject: Re: Help! Author: BananaHuman Message: That's really strange because that just happened to me this morning, too. I was watching a human's antigen levels when they suddenly all shot up to max. Then all my humans died! :(
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Mike Message: It sounds like a bug in the game or something!
Subject: How to kill the gorilla? Author: Nutter Message: does anyone know how to kill the gorilla? he hits my humans WAY too much. i don't want him in my england.
Subject: Re: How to kill the gorilla? Author: Mike Message: Well, there's no need for that kind of violence. Usually if you teach the gorilla (they learn better than humans), they become more friendly. I think there's also a cob that can force him to be friendly.
Subject: Re: C2 Explanation? Author: Mepacrin Message: It sounds like one of your sprite files got corrupted. Probably all the ones with the missing leg are using the same sprite file. Try re-installing the sprites.
Subject: Re: How to kill the gorilla? Author: Mepacrin Message: You'll find it on my web page :)
Subject: [story] Ma G's Saga, part 58: I'm running Out Of Title Ideas Author: Jessie Message: "The Hurillite will destroy all of England," said Dorothy. "The Hurillite must be destroyed!" Grace, still hiding behind the door, shuddered with fear. ... /Where would the Humans be/If it weren't for the Gree/Would they all live in a tree?/Or will the Gorilla set them Free?/
Subject: Re: [story] Ma G's Saga, part 58: I'm running Out Of Title Ideas Author: Lis "Carrot" Morris Message: Oooh! Great story! I can't wait to see what happens next! You just need a title for it! :)
Subject: $$$ HOW TO MAKE MONEY $$$ Author: FunDude Message: Recently, I was browsing these newsgroups just as you are now. I saw the message below, and it seemed so EASY, I had to try it! I made over *$42,000* the first WEEK! Just get eight $1 BILLS, then put them in envelopes with the addresses I've attached. ...
Subject: Re: $$$ HOW TO MAKE MONEY $$$ Author: Pinstar1 Message: You suck! Get out of here you stupid spammer!!
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Mike Message: Well, it just happened to me now!!! :( All my humans died! Then I injected a new human and it died after just a few minutes! What is going on?!
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Jason Westman Message: That is weird. Remember that when the humans crowd up, disease spreads through England a lot more rapidly. Maybe you should reset the world. Try putting around lots of french fry dispensers. The humans like them even more than the potatoes, plus it gives them a boost of all 7 antibodies.
Subject: Cute human :) Author: Helen Message: I have a cool female human, Tracy. She has long yellow hair, brown face, and she's very happy and does the "happy jig" a lot :) She's on my page if anyone wants her. Also, is it possible to get a human/gorilla crossbreed?
Subject: Re: [story] Ma G's Saga, part 58: I'm running Out Of Title Ideas Author: Dorothy Message: Oh, I am SO evil! :+)
Subject: Re: Cute human :) Author: Lis "Carrot" Morris Message: Only through engineering! I made some just recently. They're called "Grumans" and there's three on my webpage. The trampoline's almost finished, too!
Subject: Re: Help!: Chris Lohse Message: I tried re-installing the whole game. The humans STILL die!!! Arrrgh! I hatched an egg adn she was almost imediately full of antigen!
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Mike Message: It didn't work for me either. I think it's a bug.
Subject: Giraffe Author: Myxly1057 Message: I found a new kind of creature on CyberLife's website. It's called the giraffe. It has a long neck, andfour legs, and it eats the tree leaves.
Subject: Re: Cute human :) Author: Jessie Message: The only question now, is, can you get a human/norn cross breed? ;)
Subject: Re: Giraffe Author: Emy S Message: Cool! Can I have one pleeease? :)
Subject: Re: Cute human :) Author: Pinstar1 Message: Mixing the human's digital DNA with biological norn DNA? Hmm sounds interesting. . . :)
Subject: Re: C2 Explanation? Author: HumanGirl11 Message: Thanks, the legs are fixed now :)
Subject: Re: Giraffe Author: Pinstar1 Message: There is no "giraffe." It's a lie.
Subject: Re: Giraffe Author: Myxly1057 Message: It's nmot a lie! I broke into Cyberlifes site and found it! I'll email it to you!
Subject: Re: Giraffe Author: Pinstar1 Message: Well? I'm waiting. . .

Subject: Re: Giraffe Author: Emy S Message: I think youre right, Pinstar1. He still hasn't sent it to me.
Subject: Re: Giraffe Author: Nutter Message: does anyone know what the Elephant will be like in creatures 2?
Subject: Re: Giraffe Author: Mike Message: I haven't heard, but in mythology, it's a huge, fat beast with a long nose like an arm. It asks you a riddle, and if you guess wrong, it stomps on you!
Subject: Crowd Author: Benny Message: my humans keep gathering up in a collective. how can I fix this?
Subject: Re: Crowd Author: Daljit Message: Heh heh :) "We are the HUMAN. You will be assimilated into our collective." :)
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Mepacrin Message: There is a HUGE bug in this game! I don't see how CyberLife could have overlook it!
Subject: Re: Crowd Author: Nutter Message: hehehe jsut like star trek, the borg? :)
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Jason Westman Message: Well, it hasn't happened to me yet. Maybe someone had a genetically bad human that a lot of people downloaded.
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Mike Message: No, I checked the genetics of some of mine. They were totally normal. No antigens at all. Then I put themr into a brand new world, and they died, just like that.
Subject: Re: Crowd Author: Daljit Message: I see something special about to start up here. We are the HUMAN!
Subject: Re: Help! Author: BananaHuman Message: Maybe people are using different versions of the game. Mine is 1.06, the latest patch.
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Mike Message: No, mine is 1.05 and it happened to me too.
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Pinstar1 Message: Wait a minute. Why is this happening to everyone all of a sudden? If it was a bug in the game, wouldn't we have found it sooner?
Subject: Re: Giraffe Author: HumanGirl11 Message: They have a picture of the Elephant on the creatures website. Its next to the female humam.
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Lis "Carrot" Morris Message: Pin's right. That is strange. What's going on here?
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Jason Westman Message: OH MY GOD IT'S A PLAGUE!!!! Actually, I don't know. It is strange. But it hasn't happened to me yet! Anyone else that this HASN't happened to?
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Jessie Message: It hasn't happened to me yet.
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Nutter Message: me either.
Subject: Re: C2 Explanation? Author: HumanGirl11 Message: My humans legs are gone again. :=(
Subject: Re: Giraffe Author: Mepacrin Message: I think it's just a new kind of human, not the elephant. Did you see how funny the gorilla looked? LoL! :)
Subject: Re: Help! Author: HumanGirl11 Message: It hasn't given me this problem yet.
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Jessie Message: Wait--It just happened to me, all in a sudden. I was staying up past midnight playing it, when it happened. All my humans are dead. Strange coincidence, the time on my computer got messed up too. It's 12 hours off.
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Chris Lohse Message: Hey! My time is wrong too! First all my humans die, then the time geos wacky!!!>:(
Subject: Re: Crowd Author: Benny Message: we can have all kinds of groups. the HUMAN, the GORILLA, the POTATO :-)
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Mike Message: My time is wrong too. I didn't notice it before, I guess.
Subject: Re: Crowd Author: Mike Message: Sounds like fun. ;)
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Emy S Message: I think the bug has something to do with the computers time? That doesn't make any sense though!
Subject: Re: Help! Author: Lis "Carrot" Morris Message: I read about a bug in Windows 98 that sometimes causes the a.m. and p.m. to switch.
Subject: Antigen Bug found in Creatures Author: Toby Bibble Message: We became aware of the bug some of you have been experiencing a few days ago. Windows versions 95, 96, 97, and 98 all have a system bug in the Windows time clock. When the calendar year changed from 999 to 1000, the range of the millisecond timer changed from 0-999 to 0-9999. Not only that, but often once the timer hit 9999, it would stay there. A different but related bug was causing the "AM" to switch to "PM" randomly. These problems were corrected in the recent Windows 99 release. Creatures was using this timer to randomly determine the initial amounts of antigen in the game, as well as re-computing the amounts when the seasons changed. The game was assuming that the timer stayed below 1000. That is why the world was filling with such huge antigen levels. There is currently a patch available, Creatures 1.07, on the Creatures website, to correct this problem. The game has been corrected to use the computer's internal clock, rather than the operating system clock, therefore it is now impossible for the antigens to go beyond 9999.

Subject: Re: Antigen Bug found in Creatures Author: Mepacrin Message: I always thought that if Doomsday was to ever really come about, Microsoft would be behind it!!!
Subject: Re: C2 Explanation? Author: HumanGirl11 Message: The patch also fixed my problem with the legs.
