CCSF '21 Release: Magic Words Superbreeder's Kit

Continuing trying to catch up with my CCSF '21 release posts, here is probably the most sprawling set of Magic Words commands to date! You'll really want to be sure to check out the readme for this one. 

Download it here!

Tweaked and tested and re-tested and revamped in tight collaboration with Mea (y'all, I cannot sing Mea's praises enough-- in addition to coming up with most of these command ideas, I have never known a more detailed and thorough agent tester in my entire developing life!), this set of commands gives you all sorts of tools that I hope you'll find useful no matter your playstyle! You can speedrun your selective breeding projects with mass insemination, pare down your population immediately by splicing all the creatures in your world together, immediately extract and hatch eggs from pregnant creatures (even allow you to rescue eggs from deceased pregnant creatures!), and a lot more. Perhaps most notably, you can use it to inseminate creatures of any gender, as demonstrated in the CCSF 2021 Day 14 video, so that anyone can start a family!

This was a lot of fun to put together and I hope you all enjoy it!

CCSF '21 Release: Speech Bubbles Upgrade 1.2

It's a little silly that I am still trying to catch up on making posts about my CCSF '21 releases several months after the fact (if I could stop getting sick for a while that would be great dhsafgjh), but here we are, and here is the latest version of the Speech Bubble Upgrades.

Download it here!

This new version of the upgrade replaces the old speech bubbles upgrade and rolls up all the functionality of the old (including larger speech bubbles and 'hey' creature name replacement) and adds some new stuff, most notably the ability to create and apply custom styles to your speech bubbles! You can apply your styles globally or to individual creatures and agents.

From here I have to absolutely hand it to Karithina who took this concept and ran with it, creating several unique styles that you can download from the Creatures page of their delightfully old-style site: Karathina's Nostalgia Hole. They've also put together an incredibly detailed step-by-step tutorial on how to make your own custom styles and even created a .psd template to make the whole process easier! Check it out!

CCSF '21 Release: Egg History

Okay, I am really behind posting these now. I'll try to catch up!

I forget what the circumstances were that spawned this mod, but it's been more useful than I initially expected to be for something so simple. Egg History just lets you right click an egg in Help Mode (use F1 to toggle Help Mode on and off) to bring up its creature history, similarly to when you right click a creature in help mode. I would highly recommend pairing this with Zzzzoot's Creature History Update so you can more easily see the parents of an egg. This has made my life a lot easier in overpopulated nurturing worlds where I find myself having to pick and choose which eggs to hatch. I hope it helps you out too!

CCSF '21 Release: CAOS Command Line History

Friends, this is an edit I should have made years and years ago. I have wanted to do it for so long-- nearly every time I have opened the CAOS command line (and absolutely every time I have typo'd something I was trying to enter) I have wished for this. And I knew it was something I could do, I just couldn't seem to sit myself down and make myself do it!

Well, I finally, finally became frustrated enough to implement it-- it took all of maybe a couple hours, and already it has made my life so much easier. I don't know how often most people use the CAOS command line, but if you use it frequently enough to share my frustration, I hope you'll find it useful too!

CCSF '21 Release: Autoject Startup Injector

I'm a little behind making these release posts, but I figure the CCSF 2021 Blog deserves the spotlight right now anyway!

The Autoject Startup Injector consists of a pair of files: a cos file for your Bootstrap folder and a text file for your Journal folder. After placing them in their respective directories, you can edit the text file to create a list of all the agents you would like automatically injected on the load of each new world. Be sure to check the readme for all the details!
