6/22/99 - Updated Tweety to version 2. I must confess the first cob wasn't complete, but I thought I'd just post it anyways. This completed version has a complete remover script (also removes the individual scripts for the cob), refined scripts to make Tweety move better, improved sound commands to fix that annoying habbit of two tweety sounds sometimes playing at the same time (if one sound is playing and other in activated, the previous sound will stop playing), also I added norn reactions when they interact with Tweety (also when Tweety's "special friend" appears, the norns react in a hilarious way)

6/20/99 - New COB for all you Looney Tunes Fans out there! Here's TWEETY!!!!!! DUe to Fortune City not allowing more than a meg download per file, I had to split the COB into two files (Tweety and Tweety Sounds) Make sure to download and install both.

6/17/99 - Update on the Flower Pack to version 2.0. I fixed a problem with the flowers only pollenating once during their lifetime. Also, in apreciation of the Summer Season, added a new flower. The Albian Sunflowers are in the Flower Pack.

COB Class Number Reserved 21000-21200 - please do not use these numbers when making your own COBs, since they will clash with mine.

Installing a COB - First of all you'll need to get the most recent Injector Kit available at CyberLife's Creatures Free Stuff web page. Most of my COBs are zipped using WinZip. Just extract the COB to the Creatures 2\Objects\ directory. Any image and/or sound files the COB uses are embedded within the COB and will extract to the proper folders when injected into your world.

    Albia Amazonia - This COB pack will alter your world to make it an all female world. Please read the accompanying text file for details.

    Albian Updates v1.1 Updated 3/18/99 - Formerly "Eat/Sleep Better". Improves the Say Need, Eat, Sleep, Collision, Travel Eat and West creature scripts. This helps those flighty norns to make better decisions. Also helps solve the wall bashing problem. This version refines some creatures script to prevent some bugs that cause "brain-freeze" (a pre-emptive strike!)

    Bananas - they grow on the island in bunches. Pick 'em right off the tree.A good change from just the coconuts.

    Beer Vendor v3.0 - this machine vends the amber nectar of the gods. I also added some Jack Daniels hooch for those he-norns looking for a faster buzz.

    Cartman v4.0 Updated 3/18/99 - Also download Cartman Sounds for the complete COB. Cartman is that fat little kid from "South Park" He walks around Albia doing what he does best :-)

    Chef v2.0 Updated 3/18/99 - Also download Chef Sounds for the complete COB. Chef sings love song, getting your norns "in the mood". He also serves up his Famous Chocolate Salty Balls. Your norns will love 'em!

    Commands - a list of commands that directly inject into the norn's brain. This actually forces the norn to perform the action you want them to do. Don't worry, these injections will not harm your creatures.

    Eat Meat - changes the default critter and bug scripts to make them all edible. Helps to give some consistancy in the world reducing norn confusion.

    Flower Pack v2.0 - These flowers were found by PJ when he drained the volcano and started cultivating the area. Contains 3 types of flowers. They were mutated C1 flowers and now are completely different from the original flowers. They all smell wonderful and are pretty to look at. Each has different medicinal properties when eaten. This new version adds a new flower to the pack, the Albian Sunflower. They grow and blossom in the Summer Season and their seeds are yummy to eat.

    Food Vendor v3.0 - this machine vends 22 food items. All the various food items have different nutrient values.

    Frog Norn .Atts Updated 5/27/99 - I changed the values of the att files so the frog norn look and stand like normal norns. Just place these files in the Body Data folder of C2. This updated version corrects some errors in the files I packaged for public use. The froggies look great now!

    Flood Volcano v2.0 - floods the volcano floor up to the first ledge overlooking the floor. The sea water cancels the oppressive heat and radiation making it a great new habitat for your aquatic norns.

    Hello Kitty v2.0 - Hello Kitty loves to help norns, giving them gifts full of food. She tries to amuse the norns in her own cute little way. Your norns may have other plans to amuse themselves at Hello Kitty's expense.

    Ike v2.0 - Stan little brother from "South Park". He wanders around Albia being cute. He's so cute norns loves to kick him around, "Kick the Baby!!"

    Kenny v2.0 - good old Kenny from "South Park". Your norns will love to torture Kenny as much and the show does. "O my God! They killed Kenny!!"

    Lap Top Computer v2.0 - An improved learning computer that teaches all the words.

    Neptune's Womb v3.0- an underwater incubator. Actually, it can be placed anywhere, even on land.

    Neptune's Undertow v2.0 - A joint effort with xOtix. This is an underwater teleportation system that "connects" all the water bodies.

    Ocean Bridges v1.1 - bridges will be built over the two oceans connecting the main landmass to the island. You norns will never have to fear of falling into the water. This version improves the bridge properties to allow flying bugs and critters fly through it. I also fixed a bug that will change the bridge properties when Ice Bergs appear.

    Pikachu v2.0 - a charater from Pokemon. This little critter, helps teach your norns words, eat cactus, trash and plays with toys. Pika also hands out a tasty and nutritious berry for your norns to eat.

    Plato Project v3.0 Updated 5/10/99 - named after a smart ettin I had. This builds walkways connecting rooms separated by the waterfall. Adds 25% more traveling area to your world. Also plants a new tree: The Concopia Tree. This updated version adds a ramp to connect the garden seperated by the waterwheel. Now your norns can freely walk back and forth between the two areas.Also this version had the option of removing the invisible wall at the underground lake to give moving space to your frog norns.

    Popping Mushroom Patch v2.0 Updated 4/5/99 - I was getting tired of having to re-inject the Tasty Mushroom Patches when those darn bats got their claws on them, so I made this new mushroom patch. They are individual mushrooms that grow close together. They make a popping noise when they grow that some norns find amusing. The best thing about these mushrooms is the bat can eat all it wants without affecting the overall mushroom patch. They are very nutritious with a just hint of hooch essence.

    Potato - not really a COB. Its a POTA.s16 file replacement for the original Albian potatoes. This image looks like a real potato. Just put it in your Creatures 2\Images directory.

    Sperm Pack v1.2 Updated 4/26/99 - I orginially thought of this COB when I wanted more Nova Subterras in my world and those buggers acted like they had permenent migrain headaches ("not tonight Boopy, em got a headache"). After making the COB for the Novas, I thought it would be nice to do the Cannys as well. The COB contains 3 objects. The first two cobs are injections that will artificially inseminate your chosen female will male sperm taken from my special gene pool which I lovingly call my "Sperm Cocktail" The Cocktail contains DDNA on all the norn, ettin and grendel types made at time of making this cob. This way you can diversify your gene pool with just a few injections of your females. One injection is for the Canny Genome and the other injection is for the Nova Subterra genome (to prevent any genetic conflicts from the 2 being mixed up). The Novas and Cannys have been slightly modified by me to remove their "wall-bashing" fixation. The 3rd cob is called Lay that Damn Egg. Like the name says, it forces the pregnant female to lay that egg she's been squirling away up her u-know-what :-)

    Steamer Pack v1.1 - 2 COBs in 1. 1) a new softshelled crab critter. 2) Steamer Pot - Cooks critters. The cooked critters will be classified as FOOD. The Steamer Pot also doubles as a room heater.

    Tasty Mushroom Patch v2.0 - a variant of the Hatchery Mushrooms. They are more nutritious and you can place them anywhere your norns hang out. These are the mushrooms that help in all my Wolf Runs.

    Teleport Pack v2.0 - has three customizable teleport objects to help your norns travel throught your Ablia. Please read the ReadMe text for more info on how to use them.

    Tiger Barb Fish v2.1 - a joint effort with Wafuru. These fish grow large and it takes 2 bites to polish off an adult fish.

    Tweety Bird v2.0 - (Also download Tweety Sounds) Right out of your Saturday Morning Cartoons! Tweety sings songs, plays with toys, keeps your norns company and eats seeds and bugs. NOTE: again, please download both files to get the complete COB. Unzip the Tweety file into your Objects directory and Tweety Sounds into your Sounds directory of the game. This new version has a complete remover script (also removes the individual scripts for the cob), refined scripts to make Tweety move better, improved sound commands to fix that annoying habbit of two tweety sounds sometimes playing at the same time (if one sound is playing and other in activated, the previous sound will stop playing), also I added norn reactions when they interact with Tweety (also when Tweety's "special friend" appears, the norns react in a hilarious way). If you have downloaded the old version and are just updating, then you do not need to download Tweety Sounds.

    Underground Sweepers v2.0 - special glow worms that crawl under the ground tossing out anything that doesn't belong there, like your norns :-)

    Volcano Garden - a joint effort by Christian Herwitz and me. Turns the volcano area into a lush garden. This area is now radiation-free. The place is still a bit hot, but not opressively so. The soil is very fertile and can grow many types of plants. The bubbling lava has been replaced by a warm water pool. The pool can house your aquatic critters (a hatchery of sorts). I wouldn't recommend your aquatic-norns living there since space is limited. If you plan on using my Flood Volcano along with this one, that's fine until you remove the Flood. The pool will also be set to land not water. To fix this just re-inject the Volcano Garden and everything should be fine. There is no remover for this cob.

    Zummy Fish v2.1 - a variant of the Zander fish. Zummies are more nutritious and they grow fast in water. They will shrink in size when out of water however :-)

    Each norn genome conatins a zip file with a breeding pair of norns.

    Geezzers - This was a true mutation that cropped up on my wolfing runs back in September 98. These are immortal norns that stop their aging at the Elderly life stage, hence the term "geezzer". They are also very healthy, impervious to disease and even able to survive without food for 3-4 hours.

    Amphibi-geezzers - These are Geezzers that can breath both air and water. They are pretty much impervious to normal death. I bred the amphibious trait into them using the norns developed by Frimlin, the creator of amphibious norns.

    Canny - Lis Morris created this great genome. I just made a few genetic tweaks, to fix its wall bumping fixation. I know Lis, you like them bumping into walls, but we can't all be as evil as you :-) They don't call her the Evil Shee Potato Grower for nothing!

    10hr Nova-Subterra - They actually live 11-13 hours. This is a great genome created by Lummox Jr., very smart but they tend to have no interest in breeding. If you like doing wolfing runs, like me, then these norns won't work since they need alot of encouragement to get them to breed. I adjusted the life-stage receptors so they mature to breedable adolencence in less than an hour. I did this, so the Novas can have more time to decide if they wish to breed. They also stay at adult stage longer, when they reach elderly stage, they have about 1-2 hours of life left. I also tweaked their sex drive to get them breeding better (minor improvement).
