C3 Genome Injector V1.0.1
=========================

This is a Creatures 3 version of my C2 genome injector. It allows you
to inject a genome (ie. a .gen file) into the game as an egg. The egg
will hatch and the creature that is born will have been created from
the requested genome.

The program allows entering of the moniker and the gender of the
creature that will be hatched. The gender can be Male, Female or
Random. The moniker should exist as a .gen file in the main Creatures
3 Genetics directory or your specific world Genetics directory.

The program will first look for the moniker in the main Genetics
directory. If it does not find it there it will look in the world
genetic directory. Wildcards can be used. The program will select a
random moniker from all monikers that match the wildcard. For example,
a moniker of 'norn*' will look for all files called 'norn*.gen' and
pick a random one to use as the genome.

Pressing Inject will make an egg appear near the hatchery incubator.

Runtime Library
===============

You must have the Functional Developer 2.0 runtime library installed for
this program to run. You can get this from:

http://www.double.co.nz/creatures/programs/fdrund3.exe

Running the setup program for the runtime library will install some
.DLL files onto your computer and add an entry into your path. You may
need to reboot for this path entry to be updated. Once this has been
done you can run this program or any other program written using the
Functional Developer development tools. More details on Functional
Developer can be found at:

Usage
=====

1. Install the Functional Developer runtime library if required.

2. Extract all the files into a directory of your choice.

3. Run c3-genome-injector.exe.
