LOL that quote is so going in my sig.

I would suggest learning C++, that is a good way to start coding, which will help in making mods since thats basicly what mods are.

No silly, this girl just wants to have fun!

I already know how to code, in about 10 different languages (including C++, C# and certified in Java).

I just have not modded this game. I used to do Black & White mods, though.

Mods don't work after a patch because the patch updates the game but not the mod, making them incompatible. That's how it is with WoW, gotta reinstall an updated version every time.

That's just the story of ancillary code of any kind. Like building plugins for Eclipse. Same potential for problems.

It's an acceptable risk.

i'd consider myself a unique spore modder. i just cannot stand the hash system. i can rename all day long but nothing changes. im running outa room in my head to try to remember these hashes.....

you say that you made 7 mods.... care to show me something that hasnt come from someone elses mod?

oh i said unique....

yeah may people dont even know what i do. goto http://www.youtube.com/davoplayer

Mods are the only thing that make go into the GAME of Spore. *Praises to the Modding God*

Davo, please give me link's to your mod's

*praise's Davo at a shrine dedicated to him*

Sadly, my talent run more toward web services. If you want application interfaces written to access the REST data feeds and manipulate the result sets, I'm your girl, otherwise...

I was just countering your expected buckets of blood for making a valid thread about modding... *hangs head* Shoot Davo, I didn't think you'd scold me... *sniff*

Wish I did know more about it, but there are about 15 other things in the pipe I have to learn first, like Spring and the DAO api's. Dang commercial software apps. I didn't tell you -- I'm coding again

THat said, I really think there ought to be a place to discuss modding. Either a new section, or would we be welcome in developer corner?

If we were welcome in Dev Corner, they could be explicit that we don't get support if we break games, et al.

--BUT-- this is the cool part for Maxis -- you get an ear into what and how the community is modding the game -- and -- we who are interested get a place to sit down and actually learn something about it from each other.

I would love to have a place to learn and share. It's a shame to just shoot pm's back and forth when others could be learning and adding to.

How about it?

Or, I guess we could have a teaser thread here -- Like Hirnsausen does for Evolutions! -- that points to another site, like maybe get in with piePIEpie's site?

whoa! sorry ash, nothing here was directed to you, sorry if it sounded like so.

and for the guy looking for the mods. search 'davo' in the forum. im sure you will find what you need!
