Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
i have my old disc with all my backups, so no worries there >:) one last question, should i transfer over the GraphisCache.package file from my old spore directory? I know its not needed as the game can easily recreate all the 3d models from png, but i was unsure with the modded creations.rob55rod wrote:Should be, just be sure to make a copy of your creations and saves before uninstalling.

I don't really know how to properly answer a question based on such a false assumption, so instead, just do this:paranoid_modder wrote:i have my old disc with all my backups, so no worries there >:) one last question, should i transfer over the GraphisCache.package file from my old spore directory?

Once you have the game, DLCs, and mods installed successfully, load your creations in, then run the game once. Then close it and swap out the newly-generated Galaxy for your old Galaxy. You should be good to go at that point.

Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
How do you change the dark injections editor back to the normal spore editor with the normal spore music?
Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
use the DI Configurator. It's accessible via the ModAPI Easy Uninstaller.RhinogatorPlaya wrote:How do you change the dark injections editor back to the normal spore editor with the normal spore music?

I used to autoinstaller for Dark Injections, but the infinite complexity along with the background and UI doesnt seem to work. I dont know why. I use Steam btw.
Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
If you upgraded from a previous build of DI, the installer probably just maintained your previous configuration. Install 2.1.6 again, but this time, click "Default Configuration" before clicking "Install". Let me know if that does it.ObviousStalinist wrote:I used to autoinstaller for Dark Injections, but the infinite complexity along with the background and UI doesnt seem to work. I dont know why.

Everything else works fine (i think. I havent tested it thouroughly) but I really miss the infinite complexity

In any case, DI isn't even installed, going off of those screenshots...
...did you previously have Spore installed in another location, perhaps?

It seems to only install the Arenas packages and not the mod itself. I will attempt to do the manual install with all the individual files.
