Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
Hello I'm new to the spore modding but i made some interesting finds. So I'm trying to make a mod that simply adds grox parts to the creature editor but i run into some compiling errors all the time so I gave ut and wrote this in hope that someone will help me with it... I attached the unpacked mod that gives me an compiling error. Please fix it or tell me what I did wrong, I want to learn this stuff but when nobody tells me how to do it correctly than it is trial and error for me.

...are you using SporeMaster for this?

Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
Yes I am using sporemaster (SporeMaster 2.0 beta), should i use something else?
Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
Yes. Although ironically, SporeModder itself is about to be superseded by a superior alternative by the same developer.Richard01_CZ wrote:Yes I am using sporemaster (SporeMaster 2.0 beta), should i use something else?

Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
Okay so I downloaded it, made a new project but how do I unpack the files?

...this is why I mentioned that SporeModder FX is imminent ._.

Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
It's wierd, I don't know what i modified and what i didn't. I prefer the old one :/
Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
SporeModder uses text colours in the file tree to indicate which files are from your mod and which are from the source project(s). It is more complicated, yes, but it's also far more powerful.Richard01_CZ wrote:It's wierd, I don't know what i modified and what i didn't. I prefer the old one :/
I should note that SporeModder FX retains all of SporeModder's benefits, while also simplifying the process of its use.

Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
I don't know how to use it tho... it shows me all the files form spore_game.package and when i edit it it doesnt change color o anything... It just stays green like all other the files. And if i did some changes to it and then compile it i think it will overwrite the Spore_Game.package (it looks like it would do) with the modded one wich i don't want
Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
Yes, that's correct. You then create a new project for your mod, and add the Spore_Game project as a source. It's similar to SporeMaster's "Spore Packages" tab, but instead of locking you to one series of source projects for all your projects, you can have a different set for each if you so desire. It takes some getting used to, but it's better overall.Richard01_CZ wrote:I don't know how to use it tho... it shows me all the files form spore_game.package and when i edit it it doesnt change color o anything...

Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
I will to try to make it with SporeModder
And I want to ask you...
Could you maybe do it for me? I tried to make it for like past 4 hours but it still gives me errors (Yes I'm using SporeMaster). I could then reverse engineer your mod and see how it works and make my own recreation based on your mod. I really want to learn this stuff.

Why not use an existing mod which adds the Grox parts?Richard01_CZ wrote:Could you maybe do it for me?

Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
As I said... I want to learn it. And yes... BetterSpore is the solution to that but it modifies some parts of space stage according to the files inside of it and i don't want that. I just want to make my own functional mod that only modifies the workings of selected editor wich is in my case creature editor
Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
The parts component doesn't alter space stage at all...what version of BetterSpore are you looking at?Richard01_CZ wrote:As I said... I want to learn it. And yes...

Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
I'm looking at BetterSpore 1.5.0
So I think I did a proper modification in SporeModder (i added files that corespond for a new category, pages, parts, items) but nothing appears in the game's creature editor

Re: Spore grox Parts (Making my first mod and need help)
So I think I found the problem why it doesn't show any signs of change in the game... It doesn't write anything into the packed file ... there are like 5 rows of 00 values when i open the mod package in Hex editor... it doesn't write the package file and I don't know why.
