Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
Hey, first post here.
I've installed the Dark Injection mod, but when i run it i get this message:
"Please Close Spore and reopen it through the Spore ModAPI Launcher. If you are already using the Spore ModAPI Launcher, seek assistance on DavoOnline."
i'm already running through the launcher, what could be causing this?

Well...where did you buy and install Spore from, and when? And is that the only place you've ever installed it from?BiggusWeeabus wrote:Hey, first post here.

1. When did you install Spore and its DLCs?BiggusWeeabus wrote:I'm using the GOG version, i don't have it from any other source.
2. When did you install the Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit?
3. Do any other error messages or anything appear before the one you mentioned above?
4. What is the full path to the game's install location (and those of its DLCs)?

As I suspected. Go buy the game. (And don't buy it from Steam if you want any of this to actually work.)BiggusWeeabus wrote:Not legally, is cracked

Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
So I have been having this problem ever since I got spore Dark injection.
Some of the creatures parts have no affect for example my creation clyax scorp can only bite and Poison but it should be able to Bite, Slash, charge and Poison. It would help if you could fix this for me please and thank you.

Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
Good day, everyone. Sorry about my bad English, I'm from another country.
Well, to the point, I have a problem with installing the Dark Injection. I upgrade my Spore with DLC to the newest version 1.5.1, install ModAPI Launcher Kit and I already started installation Dark Injection, but... ModAPI doesn't see the desired file. The file of Dark Injection itself is in the correct format (.sporemod), but the ModAPI continues to not see it.
Necessary information that can help in solving the problem:
- Spore installed from disks (with Creepy and Cute, Galactic Adventures)
- Patch upgraded to the 1.5.1 version
- Game is clear, without other mods
Thank you in advance for the answer!

What other mods do you have installed, and what parts does the creature in question use?Scorpicfire wrote:So I have been having this problem ever since I got spore Dark injection.

What exactly do you mean when you say that "ModAPI doesn't see the desired file"? And also, where did you install Spore from? Steam? GOG? Origin? Disks?TriangleMyst wrote:-snip-

I solved this problem a few minutes ago, but now there is a new problem... The file was ready for installation, but as soon as it started, this text was displayed (it is shown below):
"Something Went Wrong
It seems that something went wrong while trying to start this mod's Installer.
More information:
System.IO.IOException: Процесс не может получить доступ к файлу (Translation - The process cannot access the file) "D:\Games\Data\!!!!!!2019_D1_9_r_Beta2-3-2.sporemod", так как этот файл используется другим процессом (Translation - since this file is being used by another process).
in System.IO._Error.WinI0Error(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
in System.IO.File.InternalDelete(String path, Boolean checkHost)
in System.IO.File.Delete(String path)
in Spore_ModAPI_Easyinstaller.RemovalInfo.Remove()
in C:\Users\Splitwirez\Documents\Important\Spore Modding Tools\Spore ModAPI\ModAPI Launcher Kit Development\Spore ModAPI Easy Installer\XmllnstallerWindow.xaml.cs:строка (translation - line) 1463
in Spore_ModAPI_Easyinstaller.XmlInstallerWindow.<StartInstallationButton_Click>d_46.MoveNext()
in C:\Users\Splitwirez\ Documents\ Important\Spore Modding Tools\Spore ModAPI\ModAPI Launcher Kit Development\Spore ModAPI Easy Installer\XmlInstallerWindow.xaml.cs:строка (translation - line) 688 "
And then a message appeared that the file was successfully installed, but it was not...
And I install Spore from disks (Core vers. + C&C + Galactic).

Hmmm...could you provide a screenshot of the contents of the folder in which the .sporemod file resides?TriangleMyst wrote:-snip-

Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
Sure, there it is.rob55rod wrote:Hmmm...could you provide a screenshot of the contents of the folder in which the .sporemod file resides?
First time I placed the .sporemod file on the desktop (the Spore ModAPI couldn't recognize the file), then I moved .sporemod to the Spore ModAPI folder itself (and then it worked, the installer launched the Dark Injection menu, but did not install further - an error occurred, described in the last message), and then to the Spore's Date folder (and nothing changes from last step).
Now .sporemode file is only exist in the folder that is shown in the screenshot. Other copies were removed.
Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
There's no need to move it at all. Just download it and then use the Spore ModAPI Easy Installer to install it straight from your downloads folder. That's the whole point.TriangleMyst wrote:-snip-
Also, having your Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit in your Data folder is a very bad idea. Don't do that.

Re: Official Dark Injection FAQ! Answers and Fixes!
I read the faq and read this is not fixeble currently, so I'll just share this as a warning note I suppose!
My game currently crashes when I try to walk up to a nest to migrate, I know the faq says to just wander around, but sadly I can't even do that without the game crashing. I'm considering to try to uninstall the mod do the thing and then re-install the mod but I'm worried this might end up corrupting my save file, I might end up doing it anyway it just sucks but it just be that way orz
Edit: uninstalled the mods but sadly it didn't change anything, guess I'll have to condemn the file and start over :c

When was your computer made? What other mods do you have installed? Do you have the Ultimate Graphics Fix or the HD Creation Texture tweak installed?Apocalyptichorse wrote:I seemed to have figured out the source of my game continuously crashing, my pc can't really handle the number of creatures/tribal members on screen. Which is a bit weird I recall using the mod that allowed for bigger nests in the past and had no problem with that. So now my question is, is it possible to reduce the number of creatures/tribal members that spawn? And if yes how would I do that?
