Epic Problems
Two issues that I'm currently experiencing are that in no epic creatures ever spawn in any of my games, and also, during the tribe stage, all the other tribes are the exact same species (including gear and accessories) as the player's tribe. I admit, while the issue with the tribes is weird, it's not too much of a problem. However, I would really like to be able to play games containing epics without having to use an epicizer space tool to do so (I'm not even sure whether that would work).
While I do use mods, both problems remained even after I removed all but DI and its arenas package files (currently I'm using DI v8). I could try removing those as well, though I'm not certain if that'd cause problems since I've already made creatures using DI parts, and regardless, I don't see how they could cause these problems. If anyone has any ideas about what's going on, I'd be glad to hear them.

Re: Epic Problems
I honestly have no clue what could be going on. Is there a ga prop tag on your other creations?

Re: Epic Problems
On some of my creations, yes, there are, but I'm afraid I don't see how that has to do with the problems mentioned above.
Re: Epic Problems
Well if you have ga prop on too many creations, it can cause glitches in the stages. A similar glitch happened to one of my friends on steam.

Re: Epic Problems
Actually, could you clarify what you mean by "ga props"? Are you referring to parts, or props in adventures, or something else? What I originally thought you meant was turned out to be something else, so as it stands, I don't know whether many of my creations contain ga props or not.
Re: Epic Problems
I meant the tag that you put on creatures to disable them from spawning in the stages. Autocorrect changed gaprop to ga prop

Re: Epic Problems
I wasn't aware that there even was such a thing as that. . .so I'm guessing that's not the problem, since I haven't used anything like that for any of my creations.
Re: Epic Problems
Well, when my games are bugged, I delete SPORE folder on %appdata% (That erases all games).

Re: Epic Problems
You mean the folder at /Users/username/Library/Preferences/SPORE Preferences/p_drive/User/Application Data? It contains the Games folder along with the EditorSaves, GraphicsCache, Planets and Pollination packages, among others, if that helps clarify it.
Also, if that IS what you're referring to, then will the folder and it's contents respawn if I get rid of it?

Re: Epic Problems
Yes. When you open Spore again it will generate a new SPORE folder.
BUT you will lose all your games.

Re: Epic Problems
Well, I don't currently have any games saved, so that's not a problem
Re: Epic Problems
Don't delete editorsaves though, it contains all your creatures.

Re: Epic Problems
Thank you for letting me know. I was going to get rid of the whole folder, but luckily I hadn't gotten around to it yet lol. Just so I know, though, is there anything else in there which I definitely should NOT get rid of?
Re: Epic Problems
I can't think of anything else, editorsaves is the main one. Although, I'm not on my computer at the moment to check.Kralc0 wrote:Thank you for letting me know.

Re: Epic Problems
Well, I tried as you said. . .but even with the original EditorSaves.package, most of my creations then became inaccessible. I did back up the Spore folder, but still, there clearly is another file I shouldn't have gotten rid of.
Edit: It seems that the other file not to delete was the pollination.package, as after restoring it, I again had access to all my creations. As to why that is, I have no idea. . .but at least I didn't permanently lose access to my creations. However, even with having the game respawn all the other files, the problem with the tribes still remains, and problem with the epics (possibly?) still remains. It seemed like I might have found one in the creature stage, but I passed by it before it's model had loaded to the point where I could see anything, and by the time I tried to backtrack, it was gone (or at least, I couldn't find it). However, as no epics have spawned in the tribal stages, I suspect the problem still remains.

Re: Epic Problems
Have you set your game to hard mode? I rarely find epics in tribal stage on easy unless I send my creatures on a raid to a creature nest.
