Albian Lift Scripts | April 2022 | So I ended up with a blankish world with no lift scripts, so this is just the original Lift Scripts for Albia in cob format. | |

See below for image | Icons v1.2 | March 2021 | This beauty is a combination of: Map Locator 2 School Time Callers Plus two more Icons, one for sex-determining and pregnancy test, and another to gather all eggs in the kitchen area. v1.1 adds my Norn Cloner A future update will allow turning off or on of creature spawners v1.2 updates the egg icon to unpause paused eggs |
Statuary | March 2021 | During Project Arcadia I made a compilation of statue cobs to make it easier to install them: Aphrodite by Brood (Chris Aliotta) Hercules by me (Muppetboy) Laokoon by Alexander Laemmle Magical Mask by Stefan Kuske Sappho by Mokus (Martha Brummett) Images to left are not all to scale | |
Remover Pack | March 2021 |
This is
a compilation of remover cobs. Machine Remover will remove: Computer, Projector, Radio, Pianola & Jukebox Genocide Cob will kill all Creatures currently in the world, be very careful using it. Egg Remover will destroy any creature eggs in the world. |
|
School Time Callers | March 2021 |
This
is a major update for the School Time cob, it adds four icons, which
when clicked bring all members of that species to the basement below
the kitchen. This makes it easy to teach them from the Encyclopedia Nornica, or it's variants. Be warned that any creature in a lift or mover might be still moving once teleported. You can grab them from the air if you have cheats installed. |

|
School Time |
May 2018 |
Teleports all creatures to the
basement so you can educate them using Encomputer Nornica. Also comes in a targeted version for sending only the current norn to school. |
|
Undertaker v2 | May 2018 |
This will alleviate nearby troubled creatures, then remove the body of the deceased. Updated to work for all species. | |
Albian Tidy Up | May 2018 |
A simple cob that collects all hooch and honey pots and puts them back by the distillery and hives respectively. It will also tidy up beer glasses by Steve Dismukes, if you have any. | |
Ruler v2 |
November 2016 |
This
is an updated version of Slink's Ruler. When installed it removes other rulers. When dropped it switches between horizontal and vertical angles. There is also a timer script to remove the object after a few minutes. Finally the ruler has been increased in length to 400 pixels and small spikes added along it for easier measuring. |
|
See below for image | Map Locator v3 | August 2011 |
Version 3 is much larger, so has been moved to the upper part of the windmill. It also shows creatures with health of less than 55% as darker symbols. |
Map Locator v1 Version 2 | January 2006 August 2011 | This
swanky cob keeps track of all creatures and eggs in your world, it also
doubles up as a quick teleporter for the hand. A second cob replaces it
with a version that scans for edible stuff instead. It is based on Brad Fermaich's Albian Map cob Version 2 also detects pregnancy and shows pregnant creatures with dots in them. | |

Encomputer Nornica v2 | January 2006 |
Been a while since I've played Creatures or made any cobs but here are three gems. The Encyclopedia Nornica is a replacement for the Enc Kenny. Version 2 uses the sprites from Enc Kenny. it has an automatic mode as well as choice for selecting individual modes of nouns etc. Compatible with the Renamer cob |
|
August 2004 (v5 is November 2021) |
My
version of Slink's Encyclopedia Nornica. Here follows a list of
alterations from the original: Norns cannot torment you by re-activating books other than the one you want them to learn. Each book triggers the next one when it finishes, so you can leave creatures learning without supervision. The sprites have been edited, the books are compressed to four and rendered immobile. The words are arranged by type. Some words have been replaced with the ones I use, such as "call" instead of "red" for the call button. It has the addition of three new words, "shee" and "ettin" so you can teach the names of these species. The third new word is "flag", which along with the replacing of "relax" with "clock" make the new vocabulary compatible with the changes brought about by the Renamer cob. Version 5 changes a few words and adds debugging notes. *WARNING DO NOT SAVE WHILE IT IS TEACHING* |

| Toy Pack v1.1 | August 2008 March 2022 | This installs a bunch of toys in the kitchen area! Uses the following cobs: Helicopter, Bedtime Bear, Jack in the Box, Ball, Spinning Top & Robot by Cyberlife Feather by Daniel Smallman Norn Doll by LummoxJR Bubble Wand by Mark Boehler Clockwork Mouse by Stefan Kuske Bong, Eye Ball, Penguin & Toy Hand by Steerpike Freya's Bedtime bear sprite update Note that the Toy Hand has updated sprites so that it is distinguishable from the user's cursor. v1.1 Update: Fixed an error in the Bubble Wand Added missing wave files Also added a Readme file |
Functional Forcefield | August 2004 |
I've been sick of the old force field for a while, and after tinkering with with cob on and off for months I've finally come up trumps. It uses sprites edited from C2 and uses only a single object so does not have the annoying effect of leaving behind forcefield bars, best of all it works even if a norn runs at it full pelt! | |
- | Mover Hider | August 2004 |
Makes all natural movers (the cable car, two rafts, submarine and the cart) lifts, call buttons and teleporters invisible to norns and grendels, making keeping them in place easier. The remover makes them visible again. Remember that although they cannot see these things, they can still ride in them. IMPORTANT - do not install (or remove) the cob more than once in a row or it will malfunction. |
Renamer 2 SORRY FILE LOST |
June 2003 |
Helps norns to differentiate between foods by placing cheese, honey, carrots and lemons in separate categories so you can name them different things. | |
Renamer | June 2003 |
Reclassifies
the shower as "water", so that the clocks can be named "clock". Also
makes the ocean waves and the drips of water visible. It puts the three
sets of flags into a new family of objects, and reclassifies the flames
in the temple and the smoke as "fire". MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE COB "VISIBLE WATER" FIRST IF IT HAS BEEN INSTALLED |
|
Visible Water | June 2003 |
I made this cob as an
experiment to see how norns name objects. This proves that all objects
of family 2, genus 3, are all named the same as the waterfall. This
includes the flags and flames as well as the ocean waves. Note: this might be incompatible with the following 3rd party cobs: Joke Book, Grendel Guard, Rain Storm & Balloon. |
|
Lazarus Creature Scanner | May 2003 |
Scans
all your norns, detects pregnancy, diseases, toxins, death, low health
and makes the norn say the results. Named as such as I was trying to
make a cob that would bring norns back to life - without success I
might add. The remover makes the norn say its most pressing
need.
Note that as this works on all norns, living or dead, it can be used as an autopsy device. |
|
Functional Universal Remover | May 2003 |
After discovering the Universal Remover made by someone else did not always work properly, I created this streamlined version. It will remove any object that has been picked up using shift-click in cheat mode. Do not try to use to delete objects picked up using right-click!!! | |
Neo World Object Mover | May 2003 |
This cob is to move some objects around Albia to places where they are more useful or not in the way. Similar results from using the Neo World sfc. | |
Exotic
Species (pack of six cobs) |
April 2003 |
A set of
exporters and selectors for Ettins, Shee and Grendels. Four of them were made by me, the other two by Lee Gaiteri and Bean. |
|
Removers | April/May 2002 |
Removers
for: The Incubator - it has been rendered unneccessary since the invention of the Egg Unpauser cob and smilar The Computer - outdated by various teaching cobs The Chimney Smoke - because it clutters up the area and distracts norns. |
|
Excess Bee remover | April/May 2002 |
I found that, after the updated hives have been activated a few times by over-zealous norns, the world becomes full of dangerous swarms of bees. This cob slays them all - but leaving the hives still capable of producing more. |
