As this is a tweak, and not a traditional mod, there is no download.To install it, you need to make 2 simple edits to 2 different.txt files in your Spore GA Data folder(Untested on Core Spore).Open.Electronic ArtsSPOREEP1DataConfig folder.Open ConfigManager.txtAdd boolProp disableValidation true on a new line at the bottom of file and save it.Open Properties.txtAdd property disableValidation 0x055d7ca1 bool true on a new line at the bottom of file and save it.Launch Spore, Enjoy!This mod removed the save block on my game without any mods. I just launched the editor, and hit save, which saved a spine fine.This tweak also works on Origin and Retail Spore. Untested on GoG Spore, but it probably works there too. The strangest thing happened when I tried this. When I clicked the bright green 'save and exit' button for a modded creature, the screen turned black for a while. Then a crash message showed up. I'm sure the file editing had the desired effect though, because I can see the modded creature in the My Spore Creations folder.When I went back into Spore, the game suddenly refused to log me in.
Any subsequent attempts at logging in manually resulted in the game telling me that the Spore servers were having a problem.Could it be that in saving a modded creature, the servers have concluded that I'm using a cracked version of the game and have banned my account/closed down access to online content for me in some other way?EDIT:The issue seems to have resolved itself, actually, but it's kind of curious that it showed up in the first place.Regardless, thanks for imparting us with the knowledge of this edit! Now I can finally play around with Dark Injection and a few other cool mods. This smallmmodification actually works very well.
I just got done testing it on my steam version of spore ga and it does in fact work. I saw that some people have problems with clicking save and exit, and then it crashes. To prevent this from happening at all, click the the save button, not save and exit, and then once the up to 10 minute process of the game saving your complex creature Iis finished click cancel to leave the creator. As I said it may take up to 10 minuts to save, but all in all, it works.
Hi, this is my first post on this forum.Before I say anything else I wanna give a brief background of my Spore experience. For the past month I have gotten spore on my PC and played around with it. I was ready to uninstall it cause it was boring when I discovered mods.Davo's mods that is. I stalked every post and every mod until I found Dark injection.I have core spore and that is it. So I thought what the heck, I'll try it and see what happens. I installed the mod and to my delight found it working. Some parts were missing, I guess because I don't have GA installed, but I don't care.
I spent hours creating an incredibly detailed creature until I hit save and got the error: 'This creation cannot be saved.' Obviously I wanted to throw the computer out the window, but I remembered something about a Force Save mod. Of course, that didn't work.So I was ready to tearfully say good bye to Spore and Darkinjection, when I saw this post. I figured: ' Ah, what the heck.' And to my amazement, it worked. This method of force saving works (at least for me) on the core spore with out GA, and I did not get this version of spore from Steam.Thanks to Davo and whoever else helped him work on this website and these hacks.So my little tirade is over.Thanks for listening, haha.X-Strain.
Ur welcome!I'm so glad to see that this forum is still alive. I bought Galactic adventures and reinstalled everything and the missing parts appeared, btw.Now I am just trying to get an unlimited complexity mod that actually works. I am going to try the 2013DINC.package to see if it works with my spore and the force save thing.I'm so glad you still read the forum Davo, too many times a forum will be started, and everyone else who joins will give a request or question and the admin or founder never replies.
Thank goodness you do!X-Strain. I don't know what happened but I cannot even get into the file you listed to write this in. Allow me to explain EVERYTHING. I apologize if this turns into a giant text bomb.In 2010 I bought Spore from the official site. Then I got C+C, updated/patched, then I got GA, updated/patched.
Then I started adding mods. The infinite parts size mod, galactic code no break, unlimited SoL, unlimited trade routes in space, unlimited spice, infinite colony packs/terra foaming tools, bot parts, ultimate turret on planets, and I think there was one more but I forget what it was.However this does not matter because the computer which I originally had Spore on gave up to ghost.
So I got a new computer. Re-downloaded Everything and re-installed everything in the order of Core SporeC+CGApatch 1.5 at that point. Then I put all my mods back in. Everything started freaking out and not working.I figured the patch update probably meant some of the mods wouldn't work. So I took several out. Still didn't work. I took ALL of them out.
STILL didn't work. So I uninstalled everything. Then reinstalled it. STILL didn't work.
I COMPLETELY removed the game from my computer manual uninstall I found the steps on how to do that online then attempted to redownload it again.my computer crashed during the download.So I gave up at this point. I went through my computer and ripped out everything to do with spore using the manual uninstall I found seeing as I managed to get Core Spore to download before the computer crashed but it didn't work properly.Later I purchase Spore from Steam. I downloaded Core Spore, CC, and then GA.
When everything was downloaded from Steam I DID NOT receive any messages upon starting the game, either Spore or GA, about patching I am still using my original login email as when I was prompted to register, the game would NOT allow me to register. It just kept giving me this message about the email/username I was putting in was not found on file. So for the hell of it I used the old email/username from when I first bought spore. I was able to log in and play the game! However something really weird happened. I no longer had any content from any of my buddies and there was nothing in any of the sporecasts I subscribed to. So I unsubscribed to each sporecast and then resubscribed and I did the same thing with all my buddies.
This mostly worked to bring back the content. There is however three buddies I have that for some weird reason I can't get the content back from even when I resubscribed to them unless I go and manually download each creation from them. Weird.Speaking of content I was able to get back all but 8 creations of mine when I searched for my creations.
The 8 creations I cannot seem to get back is bugging me. I never deleted them from spore or from my original game. They are still shared but for some reason I can't get them back even though I can view them when I search for them. Talk about weird.Moving on then. I started to mod Spore again.
Spore Save Editor
I mostly play in GA but I still wanted a few mods for Core Spore should I decide to play all the way through at some point. Here is a list of the mods I currently have in use.DavoFlightModMoon82496-Galacticcodenobreak81217-unlimitedcolonypacks67181-infinitepartsize46722-unlimitedSoL2012DavosUnlimitedComplexityBoundlessEditorAnd this is where the mods are located for meProgram Files (x86) Steam SteamApps common Spore DataEP1I wanted to download the Dark Spore Injection but after reading that it would not save and that Force Saving doesn't work on Steam I looked this topic up. When I went into the location and folder specified to edit the code I keep getting a message about my computer not being able to read the file. So I tried opening it up with word and note pad.neither of those worked all I got was a ton of crazy looking symbols, not actual lines of text like UBBC or anything that I'm remotely use to looking at like HTML.So I tried searching online for something that would display the file in, for lack of a better term, plain English so I could edit it. I found one thing or so I thought downloaded it and that didn't work either. It still displayed as all this other crap.
So I ripped that program I downloaded out and all the other crap that piggybacked with it and tried again, and again, and again. I appreciate you getting back to me on this, thank you.^^I will readily admit I am a total neophyte when it comes to mods and coding. All I know involving the subject is bits and pieces I figured out by watching some of my friends work on mods or coding for websites and that's it.
Everything else was strictly trial and error for me. Needless to say there was A LOT of error.I'm just petrified if I don't do this correctly its going to make the entire game unusable let alone wreck my laptop and I DO NOT have the money to replace the game let alone my laptop should something screw up. Alright then, I will download one of those programs you mentioned and HOPEFULLY my laptop will be nice and actually agree to read the file then we can go from there.
Regardless of whether this works or not you can expect another post from me saying what happened.Once again thank you.EDIT!!!!!!!Okay I got notepad and I was looking over the code. Is THIS the area where I'm supposed to slap in the first thing?
Add boolProp disableValidation true on a new line at the bottom of file and save it. At the end of this particular section or literally ALL the way down the end of the code?############################################################################## MRT#boolProp MRT 0if ( $numSimultaneousRTs 1 )boolProp MRT 1endif############################################################################.
