Alright cool, thanks. I had no idea, hundreds of hours and never seen it before.

Are all parts from every category obtainable in the creature stage?

Are you planning on doing anything for the *** and placeholder part names?

Why are there 2 tabs for these?

Currently no, I'm still looking into how to allow parts from categories not present in the base game to be unlocked.

Yes. They're placeholders, their entire purpose is to serve as a stand-in for something else that isn't ready .-.

One has Core Spore textures, the other has Darkspore textures.

Yes indeed. What I probably meant was if it's a high priority task or not.
Thanks! :>

After hunting down a mirror of Unofficial Patch 7 and inspecting its files, I've determined that it is the cause of the problem. It tried to facilitate DI, and instead shot it in the foot. So just uninstall that and you'll be good to go.
Made a mod which makes patch 7 not replace textures or models.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Patch7_Data.package
No more replacements

Ohhhh...it's not exactly at the top of my list, but not at the bottom, either. Trouble is, we don't know a lot of the names.

If anyone here has played Darkspore and has sufficiently photographic memory to recall any of the names the Core Spore parts had in Darkspore, that would be extremely helpful.

For the next version of Dark Injections can we expect that it would be 100% compatible with the current 2.1.6 creatures and saves?
Can you give us any estimate as to when the release would be?
Do you have any new features in mind?

Most mods should be updated eventually, as time goes on.

That's...not normal. To the best of my awareness, no compatibility breaks have occurred between Public Betas 2.0.6 and 2.1.6 ._.

the issue is when they are abandoned :/

EDIT: sorry i didnt want to touble post, but i now have spore and everything up and running on origin, with the installer set, most of my old dark injection creations are locked out, if not all of them. What do? i made sure that all other mods i have were installed, and all of them works, even those that gave me extra parts on both creature editor as well as adventure editor. however, all creatures and buildings and adventures have that little lock on it.

1. Wait, all of your creations, or only the DI/modded ones?
2. Did you add the creations in before or after reinstalling DI and any other mods used?

1. Oh
2. Well there's your problem - Spore's great about detecting that it can't load creations, but it's terrible about noticing when something's been installed such that it now can. Never add modded creations before the prerequisite mods are in place.
