Alexander Laemmle: The Hitchhiker's Guide To Albia

More than one world on one PC?

When there are more persons who would like to play Creatures - but there is only one PC you don't have to share a world for your norns! here are several methodes to run many worlds on one PC :

The easy way without using cheats:

.) go to your Creatures directory
.) rename world.sfc to world1.sfc
.) copy eden.sfc to world2.sfc
.) now when player 1 wants to play Creatures he/she renames world.sfc to world2.sfc and world1.sfc to world.sfc
.) player two has to rename world.sfc to world1.sfc and world2.sfc to world.sfc

You can do this with many worlds...

Using the cheats:

.) Create several worlds (using COE or copy world.sfc to a new file)
.) e.g. name them world1.sfc, world2.sfc, world3.sfc,...
.) Switch on one of the cheat codes
.) Use 'open world' to load 'your' world...

The hardest but best way:

.) Install Creatures
.) Start regedit.exe from your windows\system directory
.) copy all 'millennium Interactive' entries from CURRENT_USER and LOCAL_MACHINE to files, eg. Player1_U and Player1_L
.) Install Creatures a second time into another directory (!)
.) again copy all 'millennium Interactive' entries from CURRENT_USER and LOCAL_MACHINE to files, eg. Player2_U and Player2_L
.) Now any user just has to doubleclick on his/her .reg files (importent: Use both files or copy the files to one .reg file using a text editor to make it easyer to use).

This methode is the best way because every player can use his/her independent copy of Creatures without being disturbed in any way. Even different versions with different updates are possible. But it takes much diskspace!
