This is the most boring autonamer ever.

And I love it.

It works like other Autonamers (it only names creatures that don’t have names) except that instead of giving them ‘proper’ names or even goofy names, it gives them names based on their species, gender and generation.

Here are some examples.

bandicam 2013-12-11 22-43-37-043This little boy is named NoM0002. No means he’s a Norn, M means he’s male and 0002 shows what generation he is.

bandicam 2013-12-11 23-24-12-801This little girl is named GrF0208. Gr means she’s a Grendel, F means she’s female and 0208 shows what generation she is.

Why is this useful? It’s useful if you have an automatic exporter on and want to be able to tell at a glance what kind of creature it is and how far down the family tree it is while you’re in your My Creatures folder.

It’s also nice to have if you want to name creatures without having to worry about getting attached to them.

Feel free to expand on this agent if you like! I’ve included the .cos file for your tinkering pleasure. It’s based on the original autonamer.

Enjoy!

Psst! Ideas for expansion? Add letters to identify what order the creatures hatched in. Have fun!

The duck toy comes in more colors than shown. When it’s pressed it can dip below the water before it rises again. It also quacks. 😀 On top of its usual toy perks, it also alleviates loneliness and anger.

Daily Creature Feature

Howdy!

As you might remember from one of my previous posts, I wanted to start doing a regular creatures stream.

I’m finally in a position in my life where this sort of thing is very feasible but I need your help if I’m going to do it.

It’s looking more and more like it’ll be an LNA style stream but with the Warp down, I’d have to manually receive creatures in an e-mail and label them in-game. Not that big a deal, but it’s the best we can work with right now.

That said, I do like to play the game so on top of a daily stream, we might have interruptions to our regular programming in the form of me, well, playing the games (to include C1 and C2, maybe even CV), narrating and having conversations with the people in the chat. These pleasant interruptions will probably be minimal but in any case, I hope you enjoy them, too.

For now, the creatures stream is hosted at twitch.tv/DailyCF  so if you’d like to check out what we have going on now, head over there. If you’d like to submit creatures to the stream, shoot me an e-mail at kezune_twitch@hotmail.com with either the genome or the .creature file that you want to submit. For now, creatures that only use the Creature Lab sprites are allowed. That means creatures with interesting genomes are definitely allowed so long as they aren’t intentionally immortal or invincible and use only official CL breed sprites. For example, Colortrue norns would be allowed because they use CL sprites. If I find that they are immortal or invincible, I’ll remove them from the stream without any hard feelings or ‘bad marks’. You’re welcome to submit all the creatures you like, though, even egg bombs.Please bear with me, the breed restriction is only in place until I can sort out what breeds I have installed. I’ll compile a list later. 🙂

Yup. Made some logs using mea’s sprites. I swear, I could use her sprites for my entire agent making learning adventure.

One more of her sprites and then I’ll give spriting a shot though it’s been years since I did any sprite work.
