ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks guys! Pretty amazing that you can throw something like that together in just a few mins. I don't think I've quite gotten the hang of things yet, then! I think I'll give it another go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 20, 2008 Remember, you can get any of those creatures just by saving the PNG file and dragging it into the editor. Cool shit. Holy cow. That's nuts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted June 20, 2008 Yeah, I looked in the save files and that's all they are, a PNG. All the info it needs is invisibly embedded I guess. Will Wright's Awesome Procedural Technology! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vimes Posted June 20, 2008 Or is it simply steganography ?... there's a lot of empty spaces in the image, that would fit I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted June 20, 2008 I eagerly await a Daily Mail article on spornographic steganography corrupting our children by the back door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted June 21, 2008 PNG allows you to embed all sorts of information in ancillary chunks. Adobe Fireworks also saves as PNG files, which appear normal, but when you open them in Fireworks it has all the layers and stuff. PNG is awesome bitchus!

Nachimir Posted June 25, 2008 Sporepedia hit the 1 million mark yesterday evening. Astounding. This one is called LoafOfBread: and they're by different people but show up on the same results page Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 25, 2008 Come on... nobody noticed the link on the smiley my ancient message? Believe it or not, I think everyone missed it. (I don't know how.)Here's a small selection from my own uninspired menagerie... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cigol Posted June 25, 2008 Believe it or not, I think everyone missed it. (I don't know how.)Here's a small selection from my own uninspired menagerie... I did a search of everyone's username so I've already seen and submitted comments for your collection of abominations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 25, 2008 Lawks! How do I see these comments? Hopefully they'll pop up next time I launch Spore? Does anyone else really think it's missing a friend's list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted June 26, 2008 I get errors whenever I try to upload. WTH? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOPcagney Posted June 26, 2008 Does the drag and drop PNG thing work with the free editor too? I've tried dropping a couple into the new creature screen and nothing happens... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted June 26, 2008 It should work as long as the creature is only made with parts from the free editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cigol Posted June 26, 2008 Which at this point is difficult to imagine. Check out Darwin and his threads; Lawks! How do I see these comments? Hopefully they'll pop up next time I launch Spore? As far as I know you just need to login and go-to your 'My Spore Page', which should also be accessible through the official website here, as well as in the game itself. I get errors whenever I try to upload. WTH? What kind of error? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted June 27, 2008 Just tells me there was a problem uploading. Real helpful there, EA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted June 27, 2008 Bet you 0 dollars there'll be a log.txt file (or similar) in the root of the application - have a look at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
