You've gotten the Docking Station, registered and you're tinkering around online. But something seems wrong...there just isn't much to do. The world is small....and the norns, while cute, aren't exactly as diverse as you were promised.

So now is the time to be introduced to Agents: objects that you download into your game. Also known as COBs, in C1 and C2. There are many different types of Agents, from items like toys and food, to entire rooms that can be added on. Even different Norn Breeds are considered "Agents".
Agents are easy to download. Simply locate your Agent Folder, in your Docking Station Directory. I have Windows XP, so I go through "My Computer" to "Program Files" to "Docking Station" and finally to "My Agents".

Any Agent file placed in this folder will not appear unless you inject in into your world. To do this, you must go to your Comms Room, and enter the "Agent Selector" section.
This button glowing on the left is your "Agent Injector Button". From here, select the Agent you wish to inject, and hit the green checkmark.

Most Agents will appear at the bottom of the Agent Injector Machine, but some (like extra rooms) will appear elsewhere, with portals to connect. Let's try injecting the Cupid's Lyre, a great Agent that helps with Norn breeding.
A Working Link to Cupids Lyre can be found here: Hausmouse's C3. Scroll down until you find it, and click to download.

You will notice the file is labled .agent. This means it belongs in the Agents Folder. Go ahead and place it in the folder, then start your game and attempt to inject. It should appear below the green check mark. Congratulations! You have now injected your first Agent. Check out my links page, where I have a lot of links for site loaded with Agents. And surf around for more!
Small Note: When you get Creatures 3, you will notice there are now TWO Agents folders: one for Creatures 3, and one for the Docking Station. Some items can only be used in the Docking Station, and some only for Creatures 3. Make sure you check the readmes before installing, and place them in the right folders!

As for the Creatures 3 Agents folder, C3 has its own injecting machines, so if you place it in the C3 folder, you won't be able to inject it via DS injection center.
Now that we got the basics of Agent Downloads, click here to go back to the list of tutorials, or the home button below..
