Hello,

Great advice and again thank you for taking the time to make the DI mod. I am having a problem to where I cant save the two new scripts in the Configuration Manager or the Properties txt files. It tells me to find another location because there is not enough space. I dont really understand that, when I hover over the Spore EP1 icon it says 0 bytes of 2GB is available. Do you know how to fix that? I'm asking because I'm still not able to save DI creatures.

Save the modified txt files to your My Documents folder, then move them to their original locations. But backup the original files first!!

I appreciate the quick feedback however I am not able to delete the original .txt files and I feel like I'm going in circles. Can you explain how to delete .txt files then? This is whats preventing me from adding the ones with the added codes.

Are you logged in as an administrator? You need administrator privileges to delete, add, or modify files in that folder.

yes I assume so because I'm the only user of this computer and it says the account is "administrator". Am I supposed to be running the command prompt? Here's what's weird. I have a version of Spore that I purchased from Origin and can delete those .txt files but I have a separate version of Galactic Heroes and cannot delete those files whatsoever. Does having that info help you asses as to what the problem may be?

Never mind I just give up. If I could rename the files I wouldn't be having this problem in the first place. When I try to save the changes I made to the .txt files it says that it cant be saved here and to save them somewhere else. SO I saved them in another folder but cant delete the originals although I have administrative privileges. I attached pictures if that helps

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MODIFY THE FILES ON THE DISK???

That would explain it. You're supposed to modify the versions on your hard drive :lol:

I don't quite understand? What am I doing wrong then? I have 3 pathways and tried modifying them all. 1) Windows/Program files(x86)/Origin Games/ Spore/Data /Config , 2) Windows/Program files(x86)/ Electronic Arts/ SPORE-EP 1/Data/Config , 3)DVD Drive(D:) SPORE_EP1/Spore/ Data/ Config

None of these methods fixes the no save problem.

Wait, what version of Spore are you using? Disk?

Oh. In that case, you should probably be looking in

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Spore Galactic Adventures\Data\Config
...

I didnt buy Galactic Adventures through EA though and I think that may be the problem. I manually installed it years later from a different source. Maybe I cant edit .txt files on cracked software.

Yeah, that would probably do it. Some cracks are just...like that. I suggest you try the Force Save mod, instead of this tweak. It might still work. If not, perhaps you should consider paying $40 or whatever it is now to actually buy the DLCs on Origin .______.

er I hope I'm not necroposting but I tried this fix and it still tells me I can't save the mod parts on a critter the force save mod didn't help either

Edit: I am running Spore on Steam without Galactic Adventures but I have the C+C parts pack

Edit 2: I WOULD buy GA off steam if I had the money for it but I do not...

Yes, it worked for me (did it a year ago), and it was super useful. Just a quick side note, your dir. is for the origin version. The steam version is
32 bit system C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Spore\DataEP1\Config
64 bit system C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Spore\DataEP1\Config
Hope that helps for confused people. :ga:
