Darkspore Hero Converter
I wasn't sure if there was an FAQ on this or whether the hero converter has any support now whatsoever, but it appears the darkspore hero converter isn't working, like, at all. The PNG created appears to be either a really strange Maldri model or a completely bugged model. Every fixed PNG looks identical[strike](I'll upload it in a reply to this post shortly)[/strike]and doesn't work when moving into the game. My spore client follows the installation order recommended on the site and is a disc installation patched up to the latest patch prior to the new Origin update.
The converter has been placed in a folder named DarksporeConverter on my desktop and is running as administrator. I have renamed all of the hero PNGs to the hero's name in lowercase; e.g. "wraith.png".
This is the original Seraph-XS .png, named "seraph.png"
This is the converted Seraph .png
EDIT: I also tried converting a spore creation I found on the Sporepedia. Here's the PNG;
It came out the exact same as before.
If anyone else who has the converter working could try that original PNG and see if it converts, please let me know!

Re: Darkspore Hero Converter
...welp, your PNG didn't work in my game either (which actually surprises me, normally the PNGs work in my game but not others' games, but not this time), so one reconversion later...
I'll post the working PNG later today (on mobile rn, forgot to upload it in advance last night D: )

Anywaves, here it is:
Let me know if that works. If so, I may ask you to do a couple of other things just to determine the exact source of the problem, so something can (hopefully) be done about it on our end. If it doesn't load, though, I have another plan...
Also, on an unrelated note...the visible thumbnail isn't a weird Maldri, it's my Char

Re: Darkspore Hero Converter
Oddly enough I found a version of "Arakna???, the Soul Collector" in the sporepedia the other day using -that thumbnail-, so perhaps that's related to it. Anyway yeah, I'll check it out shortly, thank you again!rob55rod wrote:Sorry this took so long, I got sidetracked last night .-.theparishofspacedust wrote:Oh awesome, thanks man!

Re: Darkspore Hero Converter
Seems to have worked. I wonder what's wrong with my darkspore converter.
Re: Darkspore Hero Converter
Glad to hear that worked. All I did differently was not run the converter as Administrator and remove the <?> characters from the name in the panel before confirming. Would you mind trying that, seeing if you get a valid PNG in doing so, and reporting back on the outcome?

I'd like to report a success! Here's my imported Blitz in the creature parts editor. Thanks, man.rob55rod wrote:Glad to hear that worked.

Re: Darkspore Hero Converter
So, the Darkspore Creature Converter is obsolete? I don't think it's been updated AT ALL.

Re: Darkspore Hero Converter
A couple of the Darkspore PNGs won't download, even after I convert them two times more. If I try to open them in the creator, they crash. (#3EB17B02.png and #5B9A7244.png)
Also, three other PNGs won't even convert at all; they give me an error. (#B4EC9445.png, #354B6730.png, and #CDE99145.png)
Please help.

Re: Darkspore Hero Converter
Most creatures suffer from "Too much data" error and others flat-out crash the game like anything Orion or Arcturus related. Neat tool, but eh.
A grand majority of creatures get the invisible limbs covering their bodies instead of the normal bodybuilding limbs most heroes have. I hope these issues can be fixed.

Re: Darkspore Hero Converter
I've heard of a few having such problems, but...most? Care to provide the filenames/hashes of a few affected PNGs?HelmoChipChop wrote:Most creatures suffer from "Too much data" error and others flat-out crash the game like anything Orion or Arcturus related. Neat tool, but eh.
Yeah, that's what happens when someone decides to overwrite Darkspore's sculpting limbs with invisible ones. That said, the DSCC is supposed to take care of swapping the parts around so the creatures appear as they did in Darkspore...odd that this fails for you.HelmoChipChop wrote:A grand majority of creatures get the invisible limbs covering their bodies instead of the normal bodybuilding limbs most heroes have.
As do I. I should ask, though...what version of Dark Injection are you using?HelmoChipChop wrote:I hope these issues can be fixed.

I thought the invisible limbs was due to the proper ones not being in-game yet, lol
I am just a simulation §§§§§§§
