    2:37 this is due to the limbs not actually being asymmetrical as the Grox were made before the asymmetric patch. This crash only applies to limbs so this issue doesn't happen with the other 2 maxis creations with asymmetrical parts as they do not use asymmetric limbs. Those being Eyeguy and Anticipaste.

    My favorite method of crashing, which seems to happen every single time, is when you're playing creature stage and edit your creature two times in a row without quitting to desktop. When playing a game for a while, spore will log me out. When it does this, it saves a copy of the creature every time it exits the editor. It puts the most recent copy at the top of the sporepedia and the older copies at the bottom. Scrolling to the bottom of the sporepedia or encountering that creature in your game will always crash it unless you quit to desktop. It will even crash if you view the sporepedia in the galaxy home screen.

    • @bobbyanderson333
      @bobbyanderson333 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      More curiously though, the saved creature copies that are saved while logged out appear as shared, but cannot be commented on, added to a sporecast, or found by online search. Furthermore, because these creatures are already marked as shared, they cannot be re-shared to fix this and must be touched in the editor to make a new copy and then shared outside of a game. The original, quasi-shared creatures can then be deleted (apart from the game's current avatar) to remove clutter from the sporepedia that would otherwise be re-downloaded upon every fresh install of the game, but for some reason only on that machine??? Even though I can't find their files on my hard drive anywhere... also deleting these will screw with a game's timeline and make the generation pngs blank or in some cases completely white boxes, but this is something that Spore is somehow cool with.

    • @Nonhuman
      @Nonhuman 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      AFAIK the improper "shared" creations along with the log-out after every edit is caused by the game trying to auto share your changed creature every time you edit it as you progress the creature stage, this was I believe originally done to fill up the online sporepedia with lots of creatures from other player's playthroughs with diverse stats and levels to pollinate people's playthroughs with, but the functionality seemingly either broke or was disabled deliberately server-side very early on in spore's life for some reason so the feature doesn't work properly and attempts to still share your edits but freaks out and logs you out while trying to.

    For those wondering about why Windows doesnt allow those files to be used, it is because these are device files back from the times of IBM's PC-DOS. These are basically just device drivers that exist to look like normal files. As for why Windows cares to protect files from an OS made by a company that is noticeably not Microsoft? Because PC-DOS is literally the ancestor of Windows. Windows was built on the base of MS-DOS, which is a direct clone of PC-DOS for IBM-clones. Which means that a LOT of things at one time were programmed and physically designed around these exact device files. Some of those programs and actual physical devices are still used today. Microsoft has always made it a priority to have as much backwards compatibility as is viable from OS version to OS version...which means that if PC-DOS had reserved device files, all future versions of DOS must...and that means Windows must as well.
    TD;LR The good of Backwards Compatibility means supporting things from a while ago. The bad is Backwards Compatibility means supporting things from potentially a LONG while ago.

    @vanillacoldspore 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Currently, my most common source of crashes is of my own doing - messing something up when modding the game.
    Though, another way I know to crash Spore is just to launch it and to play a lot - because sometimes, vital savedata files - i.e, Pollination.package - get corrupted by the game. This causes a game crash on startup.
    I think the reason why loading the cell-stage from another crashes, but any other stages don't, is because the Cell Stage is coded fundamentally differently - it's the only stage that does not require the existence of a planet.

    I am not even sure if this is possible but you should make a video where you play in civilization stage, where the challenge is to get a rival economic city to take over the planet and you only keep your one city. I have tried this myself recently and I found this to be extremely difficult and I am a little bit doubtful that it can be done. Even just a video explaining why this could not be done would be pretty interesting.

    • @KinglyValence
      @KinglyValence  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't think rival Economic cities can capture other cities. Rival Econ cities only appear as the small cities and only trade with the other small cities and don't buy each other. The large rival cities that do take over other cities are always Religious or Military.

    This comment isn't related to the content of this video, but on your last stream you asked if this video got pushed into the recommended for non-members of the channel. I am not a member and it got recommended to me, but when I clicked on it, it said "members only" and wouldn't allow it to be played. You mentioned being worried about how that might affect the algorithm or viewer behavior, so I figured I would mention it here, and note that after the video got full release, it was again bumped into my recommended list, now watchable. Will also note that I was mildly annoyed about being shown a video I couldn't watch, but definitely not at you. It's completely normal to have videos available ahead of time behind a paywall, and I'm glad you have ways to get paid, but I was annoyed at youtube itself for pushing the video to me, since it felt like them trying to pressure me into getting a channel membership, by essentially using for video as a kind of ad by withholding it, if that makes sense.

  • @echopeak5953
    @echopeak5953 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    One of my favourite glitches was before I had the steam version, was where my creature spawned on land for the start-of-creature-stage cutscene, and then my creature went back out to the ocean to build its nest. First impression was that this was a typical graphical quirk, but no! This caused the ocean to behave like land and the land to behave as ocean, softlocking the save, since there was no food or other creatures available in the ocean and walking on land would cause the sea creature to appear out of the ground and eat you. My creatures could walk on the water (or slightly above it, anyway) iirc.
    Hitting the windows key and/or screenshotting spore also works to crash the game for me without fail!

    • @KinglyValence
      @KinglyValence  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That nest in the ocean glitch appears to be pretty common on the older versions of the game. If that happens again we can migrate to another coastal nest and that will allow us to walk back on the land. And using the Freecam cheat can make it easier to find another nest to migrate to as well.
      Does taking a screenshot still crash the game even on the Steam version? I don't think that's happened to me, but interesting to know!

    Now cover softlocks in Spore. I remember that no matter what, there was this one planet I'd get, relatively close to the galaxy's center, that when you made it to creature stage your Spore pack would surface like, way further from land than they should be, and they swim closer in the cutscene. When the cutscene is finished, you can see land now. But your Spores made a nest IN THE WATER. And if you walk on land the sea monster CLIPS THROUGH DIRT to eat you. You have no source of food. No means of interaction. No bones. You cannot progress any further.

    • @KinglyValence
      @KinglyValence  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I wonder if it's possible to add a spine to a Vehicle "Creature" or someway to not make it crash

      We can bring a creature into the vehicle editor, add vehicle parts, then bring it back into the creature editor and that will work without crashing to have a creature with vehicle parts on it. But I couldn't find a way to get a vehicle from scratch to work as a creature. The creations I'm pretty sure can be infinitely swapped around as many editors as we want to add all kinds of random things on it haha.

      This is a really good video about how Spore creatures work and how they are saved (made by someone else) th-cam.com/video/ZFdj9wPNSD0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k-ob7KNsLDiG-yeJ
      But for how creature PNGs work, how I understand it is the PNG format allows for extra data to be stored along with the image that can hold the info that Spore is looking for. Whereas something like a jpeg file is just the image itself and can't hold anything else I think.

I looked into it and my issue was that GA would not load when opening Spore via the EA app that was forced upon the world, instead just the base game. Apparently its just an EA app issue that I don't think much can be done about (RIP Galactic Adventures). but attempts to mess around with the files or uninstalling and reinstalling would stop the game from properly loading for a few attempts too (hence my comment 2 months ago out of frustration!).

      to my knowledge Maxis never released fixed versions of the Bot parts, so most people who distribute the parts now modify them to have a Sing level, because they just straight up crash the game if the creatures don't have a second, working mouth

    • @KinglyValence

    Hi, I'm not sure where else I can reach you so I'll comment here;
    I think I somehow managed to cancel the brain-growing cutscene animation in cell stage? When I ate the last green chunk that lets you evolve to creature stage, I was hit by a Bloato cell at the same time. The cutscene didn't play and it automatically allowed me to advance to creature stage. Is this a well-known exploit?

    • @KinglyValence
      @KinglyValence  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah this happens occasionally, when getting hit at the same time as the cutscene would play, the cutscene is skipped. This is actually noted in the speedrunning rules because it's known to happen sometimes. Normally the speedrun time ends at the cutscene, but if it's skipped then we just time when the progress bar is full :)
