Additionally, be aware that while the Spore ModAPI has empowered mod developers like never before, our ability to add "new" functionality still has its limits, so if there's nothing in Spore that can already do it, we may not be able to either.

I'm not sure if this is possible. Judging from my experience of trying to match data I found in Tsearch with sporemaster, it seems that many checks aren't managed by the package files. It could also be that the site itself checks after spore sends the creature, in which case this would be impossible without straight up hacking the spore servers.

but is hacking as bad as modding? (meaning that modding is ok but if hacking is the same)

You can already share modded creations, they just don't pollinate properly. They make it up to the server, but they don't show up (excluding adding one as a locked captain for an adventure, then clicking the captain panel), and they can't be downloaded unto themselves, be it manually or automagically. Users who have the mod(s) needed can "forcibly" download the creations by logging in, and then attempting to edit or play an adventure containing them. There, mod request granted...


...yay, new personal record for fastest mod request granted!


...wait, I didn't even do anything in terms of modding the game (not needed), so nvm.

Yay! I did it! Here's a beautiful demonstration of the bug/oversight at work! (This adventure should function on default spore GA, no mods or C&C required, but it should work with mods too)

Can't wait to take a look at it :3

OFFTOPIC: Some of your other creations are pretty good! I'd like to see what you've done outside of legitimate parts!

Thanks! I added a couple things to the Dark Sporepedia Recently, you might be able to find some stuff there. I like to be nice with my creations, I try to give most of them adequate descriptions, even if its as simple as "A small herbivorous creature". I kind of enjoy having somewhat limited parts, though, I love making early cell to creature creations because I like those parts better, and all the ones from the sporepedia are stuff XD

Real shame I'm locked out of the Dark Sporepedia because site bugs. Have you played around with the hidden cell parts or the Cell parts Xtended mod?

I love the hidden cell parts. The only issue I have with them is that they look and act a little odd in the creature stage, but I use them nonetheless. I don't like to use them all the time, though; I feel like adding more proper looking transitional creatures to the legit sporepedia is a more charitable effort. I'm tired of my client downloading shitty creatures!

Agreed, 99.99% of transitional creatures look like cells with legs...or worse, blobs with random parts on them. I hate that.
