A few questions on B&W and CI ^^

[Artemus]

Okay. I looked through the forum for answers to these before I posted and didn't find anything.

Firstly, I have never been able to get the cemetery. Do you have to build it with scaffolds because I have combined as many as I can all the way to a "Wonder" and still no cemetery.

Second, I've had problems having my Creature Island update on my creature. Like I've changed species and tattoos, etc but when I move over to Creature Isle, I only get the version of my creature from when I started CI.
Would "New Game" on CI affect my B&W as well?

I'll post more as I actually remember what I was gonna ask  :happytears: (It's so like me to forget these things. I'll probably remember as soon as I hit "Post" :yes )

Oh yea! One more question I wanted to ask :sorry
Is there any way to get the Creature Island Winamp functionality in regular Black and White? (The thing in the upper right hand corner where it lets you choose the song, random, repeat, etc... I can always get a screen shot if needed!)
Alt+Tab gets kinda old sometimes is all. lol
Don't think it tolls too much on the system either, but I get worried that it'll crash my game sometimes or begin to lag me up (I'm on a laptop, after all...)

A cemetery does need a lot of room. If there's enough room you will see the blueprint for it. It's also a matter of needs. Do they actually need one more than another building. Which will show instead.

I think the creature needs to be a certain age and/or size. Been too long since I've played CI. Any changes in CI shouldn't affect the main game.

The Winamp plugin was designed for the original game and should work there. I didn't realise (or forgot) that it worked with CI also.

Okay, I'll keep poking at trying to get the cemetery. lol X3 It notes that I should have one but never was able to get one. Oh well. Hehe ^^

Okay. Just making sure that CI doesn't carry over because I heard that creature stuff carries from like old games and such o.0 Maybe it's just when you start a new game or multiplayer or something.

Well, I found the Winamp Plug-in after I had posted that, but it doesn't seem to do the same thing, like give the menu in the upper right corner. Considering you haven't played CI in a while, lemme nab a screenie ^^

Thanks for getting back to me so quick!   :angel
(I just did the screenshot as an attachment. Hope its okay to do so ^^; )

Edit: I just found your FAQs and looked about building types. It has info about the cemetery >.<;
I'm sorry to have asked something that's in FAQs  :sorry I'll look there before I ask anything else, now that I know where they are :yes

It's been quite a while since I've used the Winamp plugin and all that I can remember is that it does place a control thingy in the top right of the screen. I don't remember the drop down menu with the tunes on it though.
One thing is that you do need to start winamp up before starting the game.

The creature model type is completely different in CI so once a creature is cloned from B&W there's no way it can be used in B&W again. What you're probably thinking of is the fact that the creature mind is continuous. He'll remember what he's learnt in online games as well as skirmish map.

That's not entirely correct.  You can still use your creature in B&W, but it will be the creature you had before importing it into CI.  At the point where you start up CI for the first time, a copy of your current B&W creature is imported into CI.  After that, the two creatures develop separately and become distinct from each other.

Maybe I should of used the word copied instead.

Basically, once it's in CI that's it. So it can't infuence anything in the original game.

Good to know :3 Thanks for clarifying that for me
I knew SOMETHING about your creature carried from one thing from the next... I just thought it was waaay more broad then it actually is ;3

Well, the menu would be awesome o-O As long as I could Fast Forward, Rewind, etc. Installed and haven't found it yet. The screen's from CI; no biggie, I'll poke at it with a stick for a while and figure it out :yes

Thanks again!

Bahhh. I finally freed my creature from the freeze curse and then get obliterated in the next map. Such is life I guess. lmao. I need to redo my alignment anyhow... After finally getting the last villiage I kinda sorta went on a lightning spree on Lythes creature, not minding to avoid the villiagers >.>; I went from good align to the pointy temple :laugh2 :angel I suppose when I get that sleepy, evil tenancies take over :devil :upside
