Using the WorldSwitcher Applet
The World Switcher applet appears when you run Creatures 2 and allows you to select which world you wish to run from a drop down list. The first time you run Creatures 2 after installing the Life Kit #1, you will only have one option to choose from. This is automatically set as the default, so if you do not wish to create extra worlds you can click on the OK button to launch Creatures 2 as normal.
To create a new world:
Click on the "Create Game >>" button. Enter a name for your new world (any existing worlds will not be affected by this, so don't worry about losing existing Norns!). If you wish to password protect your new world so that prying eyes cannot get to your creatures, enter a password in the appropriate edit box. Do not to forget your password if you choose to password protect a world. If you lose the password you will not be able to access the creatures inside it.
To choose which world to run:
When you start Creatures 2, a list of all worlds you have created is shown in a list box. Select the one you wish to load and click on the OK button to launch Creatures 2.
So, how does this all work then?
The WorldSwitcher creates some new folders in your Creatures 2 folder, and some new entries in the registry to track the different worlds that you have. Be careful not to tamper with these settings as you could lose worlds and creatures.
