Help with Dark injection.

[CARLovick]

Hey all, I am having a little bit of a problem with my Dark injection.

I have followed each and every step from the website before copying the files to the correct location.
Everything is up to date and i have put all the necessary files in the Data folder for Galactic Adventures. But my problem is that when i go to the creature creature in Spore GA every single one of the Dark Injection parts are invisible both when i move the curser over the part and when i attach it to my creature body, also the original spore parts with the new pallet change to their original colour scheme when i move the curser over the part and when i attach it to the body.

I have done every single thing the way the instructions tell me to and i cannot find anything on the web which can help me solve my problem.

Please help me.

Im going to guess you actually didnt install correctly did you get the other 3 parts for the textures of the mod. In which are above the dark injection download, did you even read the full page!?

[CARLovick]

I installed everything according to the steps. The exact way the instructions said.

I have these files.

Arenas_RDX9.package
Arenas_Textures.package
2013_CoreTextures.package
2013_DI_NC.package

Are you running on a retail or steam spore game?

[CARLovick]

I am running a digitally purchased Origin game. I don't understand what i have done wrong if i have done everything correctly the way the instructions say.

[Davo]

did you add the file to the spore or GA data folder???

[CARLovick]

To the GA data folder as it said in the instructions.

Origin has caused problems in the past, if I remember correctly. Are you using the "Not found: GL 5626" fix? Is the game updated to patch 5.1? Did you simply assume that patch 6 contains patch 5.1 (which is false BTW)? A friend of mine had this problem because he had to use the "Not found: GL 5626" fix because his computers were being...stubborn.

I do not get an error message at all. The stuff just goes invis on me...

Where do you have instaled your AG and your Spore ?
One friend had that problem and his solution was to install Spore and AG on the same disk.

[CARLovick]

I SAID THAT IT IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLED EVERYTHING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. I have not done anything wrong so I seriously do not understand what is going on. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game about 5 times to try and get it to work but nothing.

[Davo]

did you patch it like stated on the site?

[CARLovick]

Yes I did.

[Davo]

this is what i did.


Install Spore Game
Patch Spore to 1.5.1
(OPTIONAL) Install Spore C&C
Install Spore Galactic Adventures
Patch Spore Galactic Adventures to 1.5.1 USING THE SAME FILE USED TO PATCH SPORE TO 1.5.1
(OPTIONAL) Install Spore Dr. Pepper Bot Parts Pack

RUN SPORE! let it create all of the original files, quit spore, the run GA & let it make all of the files it needs. quit GA

install only the one mod you want to use, run game.



what is the install path to your GA?
mine is...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\SPORE_EP1\SporebinEP1\SporeApp.exe

also if you have dark spore then try swapping the Arenas_RDX9.package
Arenas_Textures.package provided by davo with the ones in your darkspore data folder.
as for the couler change i think that may be due you you having the coretextures file. if i remember use that only if you want the origonal spore textures insted of the ones provided by the mod.

just a thought as that solved it for me
