Advanced CE ~ Creature Part Clipping

Unread post by vanillacold »

This mod adds the "free part movement" feature from the Building Editor to the Creature Editor, while also adding the ability to modify, add and remove creature parts while in the editors.

--Controls--
Hold down Shift to move a part along the X and Z axes.
Hold down Control (or CMD on Mac) to move a part along the Y axis.

--Current Glitches--
If you move a part too far from whatever it's attached to, it will become parentless.
While the mod does detect this and changes the part's parent to be the spine, it is not a full fix; hands and feet do not work very well with this system, for example.

Download:
https://github.com/VanillaCold/Spore-Ad ... ses/latest

This mod requires both Universal Property Enhancer, and by extension, the Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit.



Changelog:
Spoiler
Version 3.0:
  • Improved the "snap suppressor" functionality; still doesn't work when moving parts with Ctrl or Shift, but now it should work on all parts.
  • Fixed the largest-standing bug in the entire mod, where parts could be made "parentless" by moving them too far from their parent.
Version 2.0:
  • Completely reworked the mod to use Universal Property Enhancer, to improve compatibility with mods like Dark Injection.
  • New feature: the "Snap Suppressor", which makes parts only snap to the center of the creature when much closer to it than in vanilla Spore.
  • Fixed a bug where creatures without legs float.
  • Fixed a bug where the game could crash when editing creatures in the space stage.
  • Fixed a bug where the Creepy & Cute parts appeared twice in the Creature Editor
Version 1.4: Nudge handles and "power handles" added when using the Genetic Modifier versions.

Version 1.3: Genetic Modifier versions added; they add creature parts and permit modification of the creature inside the outfitters.

Version 1.2: The "Vanilla" complexity versions have been added; they make the complexity meter in the outfitters the same as the vanilla game but may be incompatable with DI.

Version 1.1: Advanced CE now works in the outfitters!

Version 1.0: Official release
Outdated versions, for archival purposes:

New update! This adds an extra varient of the mod which sets the complexity limit in the outfitters to that of the vanilla game - so outfitted creations from before people get this mod shouldn't get marked as too complex if they don't have Dark Injection.

Another new update!
This adds the ability to add and remove creature parts (and vertebrae) while in the outfitters.
If you had a captain which only had level 1 in speed, you can finally give it fast feet, for example!

New update! Nudge handles & captain part "power handles" now work in the creature editor, so they won't spontaneously go missing if you had DI installed.

I have a few questions and/or bug reports.

So, the EvoOutfitter doesn't play too nice with Tribal Stage, since it locks creature parts at the beginning of the stage and has you unlock them instead of outfitter parts most of the time, and all outfitters in general are severely hampered by the fact that creature parts still cost in those editors. Obviously this can be "fixed" with other mods like No Funding Needed, but I'm just wondering if the locking of parts during Tribal is intended or if it's some side effect of the way EvoOutfitter does things.

Secondly, the EvoOutfitter will crash Space Stage whenever the Creature Tweaker or Create Creature tools are used, but I'm not sure why.

The download link is a OneDrive link, since that's where I uploaded the mod to.
As for sharing the raw files, what exactly do you mean by that? (the source code or the loose .package files?)

By raw files I meant the loose .package files. But don't worry about it, I've already got it it like a week ago.

I've got a similar problem in that it doesn't quite return creature complexity to vanilla boundaries as far as I can tell, but they're definitely not as big as they should be. It only happened after I uninstalled to use the creature tweaker in a space game and then reinstalled it. Interestingly, the captain outfitter is still infinite.

Whenever I turn on "Evo Outfitter" it turns the the Genectic Modifer from DI completely blank except for mod parts and the only way I know of how to fix it is the reinstall the game entirely, I don't want to reinstall & lose my planets again, is there a way to fix this? Reinstalling DI doesn't work, and disabling Evo Advantage does nothing. Doing both doesn't work still.

I wanted to use this mod for the clipping feature, but when I go into an outfitter the creature parts count for the cost. Any way to fix this, or is this intended? I don't use EvoOutfitter.
I like making spore plant creatures

Ah, that's a bug. I think I know how to fix it, so I'll try to release a patch in the somewhat near future to rectify the issue.

Advanced CE version 3.0 is released!
This update heavily mitigates the mod's longest-standing issue - that being, parts becoming parentless.
With version 3.0 installed, any parts that have been made parentless will instead become parented to the creature's spine.
With some notable exceptions (Hands and feet in particular will fail to save or share), this almost entirely fixes the previous issues with the mod.
