Dark Injection 9.r OPEN BETA (Darkspore everything in Spore)

[rob55rod]

Uhhhh...if you're playing off of Origin, see if you have a Core Spore Data folder corresponding to the location used by the Disk version of the game. If so, try installing the zArenas packages to there. Also you may want to try the experimental updated Force Save mod.

Heya, completely forgotten all of my old account details on this site so I signed up again. Good to see everything's up and running still, at least partially.
I'm sorry to be completely bogus about this but since I'm a dumb heck and can't remember -anything- regarding Spore modding, do you know like, a step-by-step for moving from a spore/GA complete disc installation to origin whilst keeping my unshared DarkInjection stuff? Like, could I just install all the spore stuff from origin (core -> CnC -> GA -> DI) and drag my data / creation folders over to the origin installations without like, losing access to exoskeleton parts? I don't really want to have to remove my old client in case the new one is completely janky with DarkInjection.

I don't play off of origin, I only have the disk version.

I think I found the problem though... it seems as though an application I installed to SPORE messed up the core version of the game and replaced it with the Creature Creator .exe file (it's probably that SPORE animator thing I got)

I'm going to have to do a full reinstall to see if that helps.

[EDIT]: Reinstalling the game worked. I am now able to save DI creatures. The only thing that isn't quite right is the UI, it's all wonky, but I can live with that.

@theparishofspacedust I'll address that question later, once I'm on desktop, I don't trust myself to answer a question like that on mobile...not after what happened last time...

Strange that that eould happen, but hey, atleast it's fixed! :V

Well some buttons are white, the sporepedia has white card backgrounds.. the icon images are off center and tiled... that's what I can name off the top of my head.

If you're using the UI-!Layouts component, install the UI-Darkspore component alongside it.

[CradilySlime]

we remember this. the Ui have so spore.

[Shattered]

If you're using the UI-!Layouts component, install the UI-Darkspore component alongside it.

I haven't installed any UI. but maybe installing one will help.

...yeah, there's that too...I've admittedly been rather sloppy about maintaining configurations with less Darkspore than my own configuration has :/

[SaweczekTV]

Well, i need help - i installed these mods, but whenever i am selecting other page of (for example) Legs, there are not icons of them, they are invisible, and when i put them on my camera gets weird, it's zooming out and it's really strange. What's wrong?

You must have forgotten to install the zArenas packages. Be sure to install them to your Core Spore data folder, NOT your Galactic Adventures Data folder.

If you need help finding that, look here for assistance.

I did it, and nothing. I will record it.
Btw, the items (hands for example) are :
-Working,
-Invisible,
-If i put it on, the camera will scroll to the "black pixels" of the map.
Give me a minute, i will give you a link to YT to this issue.

Here, take it

Can you make the video not private, so I can actually see it?

did it atm

[rob55rod]

Okay, that clarifies what the issue is.

Can you please list the entire contents of your Core Spore and Galactic Adventures Data folders by filename, as well as what patches you have installed (if any)?

I'm starting to think that offset camera bug is indestructible or something ._.

I hope you mean these files

[rob55rod]

Yes, that's what I wanted. It also reveals the source of both of your problems: You have Galactic Adventures installed, yet you're installing your mods to your Core Spore Data folder, and you haven't installed the zArenas_ packages. The zArenas_ packages are the ONLY mods that go in your Core Spore Data folder, all other mods go in your Galactic Adventures Data folder. Unless the mod's author says otherwise, that is.



EDIT: To clarify, your Data folders should look like this:

Core Spore:
1.PatchData_package
2.Spore_Audio1.package
3.Spore_Aucio2.package
4.Spore_Content.package
5.Spore_Game.package

7.Spore_Pack_03.package
8.zArenas_RDX9.package
9.zArenas_Textures.package

NO

THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID AT ALL

Don't uninstall anything, just rearrange the package files to match the list I provided above. (You can get the zArenas_ packages from here: http://www.davoonline.com/sporemodder/r ... /DI9r.html )

Geez...please, never do that again. You almost gave me a heart attack there O-o
Also I apologize for my use of cAPS lOCK, I wasn't angry, just...panicked, I guess...

Thanks for help anyway, apprecieate it

Glad to have the problem resolved
