Q: Can I install Terra Pluvialis in a previously 
existing world?

A: Yes.



Q: There seems to be an error with the Lovebirds,
something about genders or something?

A: Yes, this is a known bug; we're working on fixing
it as soon as we can. In the meantime, kill the 
agent, and kill hots any nests/eggs which seem to be
stuck. The telltale sign of an egg being 'stuck' is
if it continually animates for more than 8 minutes 
or so.



Q: Will Terra Pluvialis conflict with any other
metarooms I have installed?

A: Not that I know of, but I haven't checked every
existing room... if you find a conflict, please email
me at the below address.



Q: Can I put other critters in Terra Pluvialis?

A: As far as I know, yes. I have not tested this, 
however, so do so at your own risk.



Q: <insertagentname> doesn't work! What do I do?

A: Beats me. If you can continue playing without it, 
I would just ignore it. Otherwise, you might have to 
export all your norns, start a new world, and reinject
Pluvialis. Please do NOT contact me to 'fix your world'
because without actually being able to go onto your
computer, I can't. If you know the error which caused 
it to stop working, please report it to me at the
below contact address.



Q: You suck!

A: That isn't a question.



Q: How do I get into Secret Adventure Mode?

A: get my Secret Adventure Mode Helper agent from the 
CCSF '05 website, of course!



Q: I think I've found a bug! What do I do?

A: Report it to me, and I'll have it fixed in the next
version.

 Terra Pluvialis has a long, convoluted history,
filled with angst, betrayal, love affairs, and of 
course, norns.

 I won't bore you with the more arduous and painful
details, but it all began waaay back, even before I 
was in Metacore. It all began with The Island, when I
was a mere horrible 3d artist with a really bad idea
which people supported for some reason... and its
thanks to those people that Pluvialis is here today!
Aquashee coded, and I did the images. 

 Metacore came into existance, and I soon dropped The
Island in favour of Charan, which was really my next
terribly bad project. Once again people supported
me, and Sentinal was even so kind to contribute to 
the background significantly and make it pretty, but
unfortunately Metacore collapsed and my interest in 
the project waned.

 After Metacore I drifted around for a while, 
listless and sad, projectless. I can't actually 
remember this period, I just have a big blank,
scarily. After the ominous blank, Erin came up with
the idea of the Creatures Community Spirit Festival, 
and I was inspired once more and began proper work
on Creatures again.

 A year past without anything significant happening,
and then the next CCSF came along... I felt like I
needed to contribute something, so I started working 
on Terra Pluvialis under the kind direction of Moe. 
It took me a few days to come up with a suitable 
background, but it was already too late to release
that CCSF... so it became 'The CCSF Present', and was
shunted towards a future release.

 So after a year's on and off work, 2 new backgrounds
on, we finally have a release. I hope you enjoy 
playing with TP as much as I have had over the years
creating it!
