No. It animates quite nicely, Like striking with only one hand if it has one, and if the mouth is on one side, it will turn that way to bite.

I have the asymmetry mod on one computer so I can do quick asymmetric touchups, it howerver is a pain for general use.

Okay, I've got the downloaded mod file, but I'm a mac user. I can't find out where my instillation directory is. Can somebody give me a push in that direction? If I click on my disk, it just has me run instillation, and I can't find any such files in my hardrive for the spore data package....

i cant find the place where the package files are. Where are they?

any consequences?

It's in the game already guys, prolly just a bit too buggy for them to unlock. The Junk in the ship creator's button has a sail pointing one direction. you can't do that in the creator without asymetry. We also know it works because asymetry and symetry work just fine in the buildings, so it has to be a problem with the animation script somewhere. Spore will die out very fast and with much disgust if they don;t get asymetry into the game for at least the vehicle and spaceship creators. They can have as many parts as they want but if they insist on an aircraft carrier having it's superstructure in the middle of the flight deck they will curb alot of creativity. I had to scratch nearly 20 things I wanted to do because of no asymetry. Will I try the mod? Nope... EA is bitter and covetous. I won't risk making something and have it get spotlighted and me banned over it.

I think there should be a button for toggling symmetry on and off for all the editors. I know a lot of people want asymmetry in the creature and vehicle editors, but I would like some symmetry in the building editors. I am tired of having to line up or copy what I do on one side of a building to the other side. I would love something that would mirror what I do on one side of a structure to the other side. A nice button called mirror would be great, no? In fact, there could be a button called asymmetry. While it is toggled on all pieces and parts placed are asymmetrically placed. While it is toggled off all pieces and parts placed are symmetrically placed. Problems solved and everyone happy with it, hopefully.

That is a great idea.. just a button.

heh... you know how many games and programs I've played that would have been a trillion times more enjoyable with the addition of a single option? if I could get two buttons in spore I would have no reason to ever complain about the game again.

1) Asymetry on/off
2) Auto-share creations on/off

Spore would then be PERFECT!

HOW TO INSTALL MODS

Covers all platforms if you installed it normally and didn't move things.


People watch out for any mod made before patch 1.03 as they do not work. The 2 best modding sites (really the only ones) are these:

SPOREDUM

SPOREMODS

Sadly, the graphics interface is off limits atm, i'll get back to you once us modders have found a way. It would be good if Maxis released the SDK....

That is a pain. But I'm glad to hear that there are people on the case of solving the problem. Maybe Maxis would release a patch that does it for everybody and the modders would have one less thing to mess with, yes? Maybe. Go Go Gadget Suggestion!

Now i know this is a stupid question but can this spore mod get you banned? Because i remember Maxis making a big fuss about some one hacking there complexity limit to make the Coliseum.

ok i can tell that it was going to be a feature in the game cause in early demo videos you could see a check box to asymmetric, also there was going to be a Water Stage between the cell state and the creature state but i think they though that we wouldn't like it or they are expecting us to buy spore 2 just to get those features. oh there was blood too. it was going to be better than i got. if you don't believe me :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nejN-umj824 . of course many of other things got improved in the game but it could be better with those ones too.

If you get the mod, is every creature you create asymmetryc al?

This is my first real experiment with it, and I think it turned out pretty awesome:

AWESOME!

Here's a poll I had running a bit ago on adding an Asymmetry Button for the Editors.
http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/15120.page
I think this is a doable addition for either an expansion or patch. So I encourage everybody here to vote on it and make comments We might be able to get their attention on this issue as they work on the new Expansion.
