Re: Spore ModAPI
Actually no, it's not "on us" that the DRM used by Steam Spore interferes with the process. I've been looking for potential ways to overcome this since the problems first became known, and I'm still looking for such a solution...though at this point, the likelihood of that ever happening seems to grow slimmer with every passing day. Reality is, if you want this to work right now, you shouldn't be using the Steam version of the game. I don't like it any more than you do, but at least for the time being, that's how it is...in spite of our best efforts.Wandering_Mania wrote:Edit: Is there even any point to reporting this stuff any more? And if any one actually helps, which I doubt, as it seems no one is paying attention to this any more, here is a few answers to some basic questions.
Yes I have a Steam version. No, I'm not going to switch it over to an Origin install, if you can't program the thing to work with every legal version then that is on you. I have both expansion packs. And I'm running Win10. The thing randomly works. Right after I originally posted this it worked again. But after I closed out the game we where back to the same old spam of errors.

Re: Spore ModAPI
I miiiiight have installed an "arrr matey" version of GA, would this pose any issues when messing around with modding my copy?

We don't support piracy. Go buy the game.Kirasar wrote:I miiiiight have installed an "arrr matey" version of GA, would this pose any issues when messing around with modding my copy?
EDIT: I'd recommend not buying it on Steam if you want any of this to actually work.

Is there a version that doesn't require Galactic Adventures?

Re: Spore ModAPI
It implies you have to dispatch the game utilizing the Spore ModAPI launcher rather than from steam. web designer in sharjah The reason being Dark infusion's fresher variants utilizes ModAPI to do some stuff so it can't work without it.

Ever since the March 2017 patch, we've needed GA to modify certain files.abacusyay wrote:Is there a version that doesn't require Galactic Adventures?
So unfortunately, that will never happen unless EA releases a patch to remove this weird behaviour.
Hello there! I'm a random guy who sometimes does *slightly* smart stuff. I do a lot of random Spore shenanigans, too.
Feel free to build off my open-source mods, but please don't add them to modpacks; it could cause compatability issues.

Vanilla, none of that has anything to do with the Spore ModAPI. Please check your facts before responding.VanillaCold wrote:Ever since the March 2017 patch, we've needed GA to modify certain files.abacusyay wrote:Is there a version that doesn't require Galactic Adventures?

Reality is, the necessary research to create the Spore ModAPI Development Kit is and continues to be a massive undertaking. Supporting Core Spore would double this workload. That just isn't fair to Emd, especially considering how small the market for Core Spore-compatible mods is. As such, he decided to only support GA, and I'm completely with him on that decision. Without Core Spore support from the Spore ModAPI Development Kit, the Spore ModAPI Launcher is incapable of being made compatible with Core Spore, and as such, there's really no reason for the Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit as a whole to provide mod installation support for Core Spore either. If you want to use mods, you'd be best off to just buy GA. (But not on Steam)

Re: Spore ModAPI
The launcher has some issues with not fully opening and making steam think it's open completely jamming my computer until I end a bunch of tasks.
I am also having somewhat unrelated crashes from saving and switching menus

Re: Spore ModAPI
Yeah, Steam Spore is known to be...problematic. I've yet to find anything by way of a proper solution, leaving only an ugly workaround of "transfer your keys to Origin, backup your creations and save data, uninstall Steam Spore, then reinstall through Origin" :/K1llersaur wrote:The launcher has some issues with not fully opening and making steam think it's open completely jamming my computer until I end a bunch of tasks.

Re: Spore ModAPI
got this when trying to launch, what happened? previously it worked, but all i had done was change the graphics settings.
Re: Spore ModAPI
ok well now instead of that its launching and saying "configuration script failed," the game launches for 2 seconds with a black screen, and then closessnozzzz wrote:

Re: Spore ModAPI
Download this file, move it to your Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit install directory, then run it. Let me know if that does anything useful, or if you need a hand along the way.snozzzz wrote:ok well now instead of that its launching and saying "configuration script failed," the game launches for 2 seconds with a black screen, and then closessnozzzz wrote:

If that does fix the problem, then congratulations, you've come across a fairly common issue with Spore itself. If not, then...we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Re: Spore ModAPI
ok well so i put that in my directory (as in right in the mod api launcher kit folder, right?) and it still did the same thing. configuration error, launched and stayed there for slightly longer this time with a black screen, and then closedrob55rod wrote: Download this file, move it to your Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit install directory, then run it.
