0. Credits and Usage

The original Norn Statistics and Medical Monitor were created by Emmental, whose
original site has gone down but whose contributions to the community are still
valued today. These updates were done out of gratitude for all the times their
agents have helped me in my games, to the point where I can't play without them
now.

This edit was done by SunlitMiracle, and is free to be reuploaded elsewhere and
altered further for both personal and public use.

Updated as of December 29th 2024.

1. Installation

- Place "Medical Monitor Update.agents" and "Norn Stats Update.agents" in your
  "Docking Station/My Agents" installation folder. If you have Emmental's
  original versions or my previous versions in, removing them is recommended to
  avoid confusion and errors.

- IF YOU'VE USED PREVIOUS VERSIONS (either Emmental's or mine), you will also
  need to copy the contents of Catalogue and Images into your respective
  folders. You may also need to do this in your Creatures 3 subfolder if
  anything has previously been extracted there. The updated catalogue files add
  further explanations and some tooltips, and the updated "norn stats 2.c16" has
  edited or updated buttons that are required for usage.

- OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Download the Unofficial Chemicals Catalogue
  https://eemfoo.org/archive/downloads/bb16 and Short Chem Names
  https://eemfoo.org/archive/downloads/7412 to ensure chemicals are displayed
  properly. Even if you don't use unofficial creatures with fan-created
  chemicals, this is recommended due to Chemical 90, Wounded, not being named in
  the game's catalogue files for some reason. Install in both the Docking
  Station/Catalogue and the Creatures 3/Catalogue folders. The monitors are
  still functional without this but several chemicals will show up as only
  numbers.

Norn Statistics (1.3)

Preamble
--------
Norn Statistics received an update for the CCSF in 2024 by SunlitMiracle, which
was distributed as a separate version. I have since fixed an old bug
(originating in the original version) in both versions and therefore, as of
version 1.3, both the original version (hereafter referred to as "Legacy") and
SunlitMiracle's version (hereafter referred to as "Update") are included in one
download.

See the file "SunlitMiracle's MM and NS updates.txt" for full details of the
changes made by SunlitMiracle.

Agent information
-----------------
This agent adds a panel to the left of the screen that displays various
information about your creatures, including their age, life stage, generation,
and if they have been through the warp. The information is updated about every
15 seconds.

It also checks for possible immortal and fast-aging creatures by checking 4
indicators:

1. Norns older than 9 hours may be immortal.
2. Norns with 2 or more toxins in their body over 95 may be immortal.
3. Norns that reached adult before they were 30 minutes old are probably
   fast-agers.
4. Norns with very low levels of energy or ATP may be immortal (Update only).

If any of these checks are matched then a "boing" sound will be heard and 1 or
more letters will appear in square brackets along with the rest of the
information for that creature:

O = Old
T = Toxins (not checked for Grendels in Legacy)
A = Aging
Z = Zombie (Energy/ATP)

This checking can be turned on or off with the O/T/A (in Legacy) or WARN (in
