THIS LOOKS VERY GOOD AND VERY VERY EASYI can see that it will take much more time to create adventres then it would to create a creature. But who cares! GA PARTY!

In the first video, it addresses a "wander radius". Previously, this has been referred to as the awareness circle or bubble. Are these two different features included, or are these the same feature that works differently than previously thought?

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

MaxisCactus — GMT

These are seperate features. The wander radius dictates how much area on the surface of the planet the creature will roam in when it's movement is set to "wander".

The awareness radius dictates the area around the avatar in which they will react to other cast members, including other characters, vehicles, buildings, gameplay objects, and fixed objects.

Oh, linking the colors to the height map! Brilliant! I never would have thought of that. This sort of thing is really intriguing to me, since a large part of why I bought spore in the first place was to see how it worked .

You can attach goals to an object, like "kill this creature" or "go to this building". You can modify it a bit, like "Kill 30 of this creature" or "go to this building within 5 minutes" (Race)

As far as powerups, you can "Disguise" the default ones. For example, I can make a big tramoline in the building editor, then go into the Adventure editor, lay down the jump pad, and set it so that it uses the trampoline model!

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

MaxisCactus — GMT

For the record, you [i]can [/i]go in buildings!

If you create a building with negative space, so that it has a hollow area big enough for your creature to enter, and there's a door or some way of getting in, your creature will be able to enter.

Example of a building you can easily enter:
[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-MaxisCactus|2262660871%3Asast-500360499891][img]http://ll-499.ea.com/spore/static/thumb/500/360/499/500360499891.png[/img][/url]

You can also have other creatures inside the building. You can even put other things inside that building, such as other buildings that look like props! For example, I could add a table and chair (created using the building editor) inside the house above.

You can even walk on roofs, so if you wanted to make a building with boarded up walls, but a chimney up top, you could get in that way.

Example of a roof access building:

[url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-MaxisCactus|2262660871%3Asast-500360507200][img]http://ll-507.ea.com/spore/static/thumb/500/360/507/500360507200.png[/img][/url]

Don't forget that your creature would have to be able to get on the roof, so the captain in this case would need a good jump jet or glider pack.

Even if you don't have a point of entry such as a door or chimney, you can use teleporters to transport creatures inside closed buildings.

PLEASE, and I cant emphasize that word enough, PLEASE read the appropriate GA community interview and other informational threads, as well as watch all of the Galactic Adventure tutorials and videos up to date. Your questions show a very minimal understanding of the whole GA concept, and that isn't your fault. Just go use the resources given before asking questions it would take hours to type a detailed response to by hand. Once you've read up on the subject, Cactus is here and always helpful to answer questions you may still have.

[url=http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/23802.page]Community interview[/url]

[url=http://www.youtube.com/user/spore?blend=1&ob=4]Spore Youtube Channel[/url]

[url=http://www.spore.com/comm/tutorials]Tutorials[/url]

As is my understanding, first you create the planet in the planet editor. Then, much as you would outfit a creature, you then take the planet into the adventure editor, where you create your adventure. Cactus, correct me if I'm wrong, but you should be able to toggle between the adventure and planet editor once you are in the adventure editor. MaxisCactus has also posted above one way to make a usable building you can go inside. Another way is to construct the building from scratch using various floor and wall parts you make before hand. Then, you can use a teleporter tool to port from the door of a seperate building exterior, into the scratch-made building interior on a seperate part of your planet. (I choose this method simply because using a hollow building has both asthetic and usability issues.

Ooo! So exciting! Now I'm going to have to start working on Props for the next 7 days!!! One week till carnage!
As for the Easy Medium Hard thing, I am assuming all Missions start on Medium, and the more people that Win will make a small Difficulty-O-Meter go down, meaning the mission is easier. If the person fails the Mission, the opposite happens. This is all just a guess, though.

Holy crap, those tutorial videos are exactly what I've been craving for months now... I knew Maxis would eventually publish something pre-release!

This game is looking to be a magnificent addition. Heck, I could probably get lost simply building worlds, not to mention adventures, etc.

The worst part about GA? That I won't be able to afford it on release (( Accepting donations though

You do know u can make teleporters in front of a regular unhallowed buildings and make them teleport you to a different building that has an interior right? So basically u can make the illusion of entering it. Endless possibilities if you put you mind to it.

Seiniyta — GMT

Great tutorial video's. Really shows what the expansion has to offer. The Planet Template thing let me wonder though, would it be possible to distribute those "template" planets across the game so we have more variety in the planets we come across?

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

Ned_Ballad — GMT

Can we make invisible walls? I don't want people wandering aimlessly around my planet (because of how I'm going to have a large interior you teleport to on the opposite side of the planet). Maybe have some sort of barrier in place to stop characters from going any farther.

I was thinking of just making super huge canyons, but Flying+Jetpack creatures could probably get over it...

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

Ghidoran — GMT

You know, if you do make a building from scratch(e.g. make separate walls, doors etc. and put them in the AC), you don't need a teleporter. Just leave the door open and your creature can go inside the "building", which is basically just the normal space but with walls and floors and ceilings to make it seem like a building.

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

Heh, this is going to be so awsome... I love how the terraforming enables you so much control, instead of the space form of terraforming, where you just throw one down and hope for the best. I especially love the coloring of the beeches and cliffs, the colors of those always bugged me when I looked at them in game, and now they can be colored! I also know I will enjoy the graident used for the ground, it gives you the ability to create something spectacular, from death star to a graident rainbow planet.

Man I have so many adventure plans, including a Labrynth remake, a several part adventure explaining the backstory behind my favorite creature, maybe a few race courses, so many ideas free to roam... I am definitly going to enjoy this.

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

nate0520 — GMT

Oh my gosh... thanks so much Maxis for posting these Really reassured me about what we can do with the planet. I have a mission in mind that relies entirely on having a large canyon with buildings coming out of it, and based off of what i've seen, i should be able to make it happen!

Oh, quick question... they mentioned that you can use tab and control to angle and elevate buildings, but if you get it up in the air and want to move it a bit laterally, can you still use shift to do so? I'm figuring yes, i just want to make sure

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

itsglenn — GMT

we need a captain oufitter, AI and goal tutorial that way we can jump right in and start creating adventures

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

Rakshata — GMT

Unfortunetly the possibility for a captain tutorial is slim, as that tutorial would give away too much, and as we known maxis, they don't like to give up a lot of game information too soon. Ai tutorials are definite, they could possibly come next tuesday, give or take a few days or a week. The goal tutorial is definite, but it's probably going in with the ai tutorials, as they go hand in hand.

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

RandomAcorn — GMT

I have a question. Can creatures be scaled without changing them from baby to adult to epic creatures? What I mean is, can I scale up a creature to a very large size without making it screech, shoot fire balls, and otherwise act like an epic, and instead have it act like and adult creature? Anyone know?

Yes, you can make the creature smaller then an epic, if you do that it falls in the rogue category, and rogues are stronger then adults but don't screech or shoot fire. You can also make it just below the epic size, to make it identicle without making it do those thigns you mentioned. It all just depends on how much you size it.

You can disguise keys for example as other items. So you would have to make your rake or pickaxe in the building or spaceship editor, then disguise it as a key, then make your captain pick it up. I seriously doubt that there's a raking or mining animation, put you can make your captain collect items. So things like harvesting is something you could most likely do.

For plants to grow from seeds to fruit bearing plants you will have to set things invisible. For the first act, put the seed and fruit bearing plant creations on top of each other. Make the seed visible and the fruit bearing plant invisible. For the next act, do the opposite. To unlock buildings, do the same thing. When a certain act is achieved, make the building visible.

I hope this helped clear up your questions.

[quote=klvwolfe][quote=supremebeast]with the arena then, would you get to set the health of the creature(s) that you would fight or something like that. cause i really wouldn't like to fight a creature that gets destroyed in three hits. [/quote]

Yes, you can set creature's health, you can make an epic have only one health point, and you can make babies have 9999 health points, you decide.[/quote]

Sweet! i could imagine having an army of genetically altered super baby creatures that you would either guard them with one life point or destroy them with 9999. the guard one would either be classic point A to point B, or time limit.

Ya, a captin tutorial would be nice. at least release it on monday though. i think a little more background on the captin creator would help a lot of people not be mad when they don't know what to put on their captin

I didn't see the basic adventure one but I did see the terraforming one before. The game looks fun and I can't wait till I do get it. And now that I know some of these basics I can make a few more things I hesitated to do before hand.

Hi. I have a question. I know you will be able to hide some stuff and make them look like other stuff, but will you be able to do that with weapons? Like for example: You are equiped with a laser sword thingy or whatever its called, and you want it to look like a medieval style sword. Is that possible or impossible?

Re:Two new GA tutorial movies posted!

nate0520 — GMT

Well, here's some information i know:

•The things you put on in the captain outfitter can NOT be disguised as other things. The captain outfitter is like any other outfitter, just with different stuff to put onto your creature.

•I believe almost every object in game can be disguised as another one (eg. health packs, bombs, etc.). I'm not 100% sure whether or not you can disguise jump pads, but i [i]think[/i] you can. if someone else knows, please clarify

Actually, Conswella never specified what buildings (s)he was asking about. And the only reason people are making fun of you is because you're overreacting to orthidostiss and other people trying to help Conswella. There's nothing wrong with the fact you thought (s)he was talking about solid buildings, but don't demean other people and act like you're better than them.

At the bottom right corner of every post is a little pull tab. You can rate people comments, with 1-5 stars, based on how helpful or intelligent it was. When people think something someone says is stupid they 1 star it.

Hi all - I'm confused and hope someone can clarify something. I watched all the tutorials several times and just finished watching the terraforming one again. At the end, Dan says something along the lines of saving the planet as a template for others to use or going on to create an adventure.... I went through the steps last night that he showed on the video (yes, I took notes - I'm a little slow - OKAY?) and when I finally had my planet the way I wanted I was ready to save it as a template - but it wouldn't let me - it said I had to have a captain and then other stuff - I finally just deleted the entire thing because it had been several hours and I couldn't figure out how to just save the planet as a template. Can anyone tell me how to save a planet as a template without making an adventure? They do say it can be done in the video - I just can't figure out how.

Many thanks for your patience with a noob to the forums - been playing spore since last Dec (not that good at it but am constantly amazed at others creations!)

Hey Bathney,

You need to at least have a captain placed on your planet to be able to save it. It's really just a "start location" for the player to beam down. In order to tag a planet as a "template" go into the adventure editor, and click on the name of the adventure. That will bring up the naming interface which has a drop-down that lets you choose the type of adventure. Choose "template", place a captain in the world, and you're ready to publish!

Hope that helps,
-Dan (MaxisEditorDan)
