Yeah, me too...

By the way, I'm pretty sure this was the way quadrapeds ran back in the creature creator, not in version 1.00 (unless the CC is what you mean...) I'm almost certain my quad back in vanilla spore ran the same way he does in 1.01.

So, with that in mind, in Creature creator was when the dynamic, leaping run (that actually looked like a run) was used, while the full game of spore features the 'Holy crap I don't know how to walk on all fours and as a result my legs are just randomly taking steps' walk.

... I swear, this combined with the excessive cost of making a quadraped due to having to buy two pairs of feet seems to hint very strongly that Maxis did NOT want you making one.

In fact, what's even stranger is that three legged creatures look like they're running when ordered to!

Just to also give my dissenting voice: I think 1.01 looks better. It's pity if galloping is always gone (but my trilegged still gallops).

I did re-install to make sure that it was the way it was in version 1.00 and not just the SCC. It seems that the patch gave all my quadrupeds(be it standard or nonstandard configurations: see antlion from HL2) the inability to gallop or walk correctly.

1.0 looked better,

there should be some kind of selection, or blend,

like one of those 'make your own moves' in tony hawk or the pro wreseler videogames.
