[b][size=18]Captains[/size][/b]
[b]Q: Are the spots on the creature where the captain parts are placed fixed?[/b]
A: Captain parts can be added to creatures anywhere in the same way that accessory are. One small new change is that you can additionally pin captain parts to each other.

[b]Q: How can I change the pitch of my captains voice?[/b]
A: The voice of the captain is based on mouth type. You can also change the pitch by adjusting the size of your captain. Select your captain by clicking on it on the planet, hold shift, and scroll the mouse wheel up or down. Smaller captains have squeaky voices while larger ones have booming voices. This also works on other characters.

[b]Q: How can I place my captain? I see a message that says "You have to have a Captain and place the Captain in a valid area"[/b]
A: You can find the captain in the lower right hand corner of the screen in Edit mode. Left click on the captain and drag him/her into the world. If your captain is legally placed you'll see it appear on the planet with a green star around it.

[b]Q: How can I unlock more parts for my captain?[/b]
A: Unlocks are awarded based on the number of points your captain has. Play more adventures to gain more captain points.

[b][size=18]Adventure Creation[/size][/b]

[b]Q: How can I apply a filter to my adventure?[/b]
A: Bring up the cheat console by pressing CTRL SHFT C and type "help adventureLook" to get a full list of adventure filters, [url=http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/35301.page#1071384]or check out this guide. [/url]

[b][size=15]Cast[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How can I quickly view all instances of a cast member in my adventure?[/b]
A: Hold control and right click on the cast member image in the palette to move your camera to that creation in the adventure. Subsequent clicks move the camera to additional instances.

[b]Q: How can I make a flying/air vehicle appear crashed?[/b]
Add a fixed object to your adventure and use the disguise option on the behavior palette to make it look like it's an air vehicle. [i] (Thanks for the tip G3NJI!)[/i]

[b]Q: How exactly does the complexity score work?[/b]
A: The complexity score calculations are pretty complicated. [url=http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/0/32184.page]Hit this thread for a detailed breakdown. [/url]

[b]Q: How can I scale the size on cast members or my captain if I don' t have a mouse wheel?[/b]
A: You will need to scroll to scale creations up and down. On some laptops, you can assign a portion of the touch pad to act as the mouse wheel.


[b]Q: How can I equip crew members?[/b]
1. In edit mode, click the + button next to "Crew" on the right
2. Click the square Crew button to open Sporepedia and choose a crew member.
3. Click the check to exit. Your crew member icon should show up in the crew square, and you can check to verify that they appear by entering play mode.

[b]Q: Why do trees have a spawner timer on their behavior panel? Is it possible to kill or destroy trees? [/b]
A: No. The spawner timer doesn't affect trees. They can't be destroyed during an adventure.

[b]Q: An object I've placed in my adventure is reported missing by others. How can I find out what's happened to it? [/b]
A: This could be a result of the physics in the game causing objects to be displaced. To test, in edit mode move the object in question right in front of the captain. Is it still missing? If not, it may have been moved during the time it took for the captain to be near it.

This occurs most frequently with round objects such as bal, or objects placed on slanted terrain/buildings or in the way of vehicles.

Also, double check the acts to make sure the missing item isn't Hidden or Invisible when it should be.

[b][size=15]Behavior[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How can I edit the behavior of as cast member in just one act? [/b]
A: Open the cast member behavior palette, then click on the link icon to break the link. When the link is broken, your behavior changes are applied only to the act you're in.

[b]Q: When you set the behavior for a creature (wander radius, peaceful/aggressive, chatter text, etc) does it universally apply to all instances of that creature, or can you set individuals to behave differently?[/b]
Depends what you want.
1. If you want to make a bunch of creatures that look the same with different behaviors, use multiple slots on the cast palette.
2. If you want to make a bunch of creatures that look the same with the same behavior, use just one slot on the cast palette, but drag multiple instances of the creature into your world. Edits made to the behavior of one will be applied to all.

[b]Q: Can my creatures ride in vehicles? [/b]
A: No.

[b]Q: How do you make different directions of path for the patrol movement? [/b]
1. Open the behavior palette on a cast member.
2. Click the movement button and select Patrol.
3. Hold ALT and drag the patrol marker away. This create a new one.
4. Repeat step 3 for added directions. You can optionally close the circuit to make your patroller move in a loop.
[url=http://www.spore.com/what/screensmovies#pc/v27][img]http://www.adpselect-info.com/client/images/movieCamera.gif[/img][/url]This movie walks through the steps. Fast forward to 8:23 to skip to the part about setting patrol directions.

[b]Q: Can you make a character say different things in different acts? [/b]
A: Yes.
1. Open the cast behavior palette for the character.
2. Verify that the correct act you want to edit is selected at the top of the behavior palette, and that you've clicked the link button to break the link and turn the bar blue.
3. Click Speech/Captions and enter the text in the order you'd like it to appear.
4. Click the Change Act button to switch to another act
5. Enter totally new text!
[i]Important: Don't forget that the link between acts is now broken, so changes you make to one act will not automatically be applied to other acts. To form the link again, simply click the link button from step 2 again.[/i]

[b][size=15]Advanced AI[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How can I edit the advanced AI? [/b]
A: To 'promote' a creature to be using Advanced AI you have to ctrl-click on one of the standard behaviors (shown as buttons along the top of the behavior palette). That behavior will be expanded as Advanced AI. At any time you can reset over your advanced ai by ctrl clicking one of the other behaviors. After a creature has an adv behavior then you can use the yin/yang button. We hope to post more details about advanced behavior editing soon!

Check out this [url=http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/34155.page]Guide to Advanced AI[/url] for more info.


[b][size=15]Acts[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How can I add an act? [/b]
A: Click the "+" button at the bottom of the acts section to add an act.

[b]Q: How many acts can you have? [/b]
A: 8


[b][size=15]Goals[/size][/b]

[b]Q: How do you bring things? For instance, I set up a mission where the goal is to bring a creature to move to something else.[/b]
A: Bring is a goal that only applies to NPCs (non-playable characters) and [i]handheld [/i]objects. You can bring an NPC or handheld object to any [i]fixed [/i]object, building, vehicle, or creature (other than itself).
Steps to set a bring goal:
1. Drag the goal marker over the NPC or [i]handheld [/i]object you want to "bring" and release it when it turns green. Select "Bring."
2. You'll notice that the goal has 2 slots, rather than 1. The first is filled with a thumbnail of the NPC. The second is blank. Both markers in the goal are red.
3. Add another [i]fixed [/i]object, building, vehicle, or creature to the world that you want to set as your bring target. Drag the second marker to this new item and release it when it turns green.
Both slots should now be filled in and both markers will be green.

To complete the goal, you'll have to find a way to move the first item to the second. For handheld objects, you can pick them up and carry them over.

For NPCs, you can set the NPC's behavior to [i]follow [/i]your captain by clicking it's behavior palette, clicking movement, clicking follow.

A spinning a yellow marker appears below the movement style button. Drag this marker to the captain and release it. The NPC will follow your captain after your captain enters its awareness radius.

[b][size=15]Text[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How do you add a description to your goal?[/b]
1. When editing the adventure, click on the act name to open the act description field, and describe the goals of the act.
2. Enter play mode to verify that your description appears above the act goals.

[b][size=15]Keyboard Controls[/size][/b]
[b]Q: I don't have a middle mouse button. How can I adjust the pitch of my camera?[/b]
A: There is no replacement keyboard control for the middle mouse button. For camera control, this means you won't be able to adjust the pitch, but you can adjust the yaw using the arrow keys, and the zoom using the + and - keys.

On some laptops you can assign a portion of the touch pad to act as the scroll wheel.


[b][size=18]Adventure Play[/size][/b]
[i]This section will be fleshed out when players have asked more questions about Adventure Play[/i]

[b][size=18]Web[/size][/b]
[b]Q: Does rating affect the Spore Points of an adventure?[/b]
A: No. Spore Points are determined by the number of plays an adventure has, and the win/loss ratio of the Adventure.

[b][size=18]Integration with Space and the rest of Spore[/size][/b]
[b]Q: Can players who don't have Creepy & Cute still play adventures made using the parts pack?[/b]
A: Players who don't have C&C will still be able to download adventures by players who do have the parts pack. Those creations that use C&C parts will be swapped out, and no points are awarded to the playing captain.

[b]Q: What are Spore Points used for?[/b]
A: Glory and bragging rights. You get more Spore Points by playing different adventures, rating adventures, creating adventures, and having people play your adventures.

[b]Q: I thought I earned a GA specific achievement, but it didn't show up. Why?[/b]
A: Check out this [url=http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/34187.page]Quick Achievement Guide[/url] to find out if you met all the requirements to earn it.

[b]Q: I am getting the same Maxis-made adventures repeatly. Why?[/b]
A: Missions handed out by alien empires depend on the empire's archetype, with each correspond to a specific Adventure Type that they will offer. In addition to the introductory mission (Spaceport), the first time you meet an archetype, you'll be offered a default Maxis made mission of that archetype. Once you complete the default mission from that archetype, the subsequent missions offered will be randomized.

You need to choose a creature to be the playable character and place it somewhere in the adventure planet. The option to choose a "captain" is located not on the creatures pallete, but in the lower right corner of the screen in the adventure editor. There's also a little lock shaped icon that allows you to "lock" or "unlock" the captain, meaning all players will use that creature or they'll be able to choose their own.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/996846.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/996846.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/996850.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/996850.page GMT
I was playing a few adventures (so far everyone is doing an amazing job with theirs), and I noticed the indoor stuff. I am curious to know if there will be a tutorial for making a hollow building. If there is, I'm wasting a post, but I am just so very excited to know. Lol

I know it's hard to tell since there are so many new features out right now, but this is more of a troubleshooting issue. This thread is for gameplay questions.

Every Adventure has a number of points allocated to it. But why is it that only the pre-made Maxis adventures (14 of them) have a 100 points allocation while the community's ones usually have only 15?

If you do not rescue said Princess within 2 minutes, she is eaten by the Goomba- you fail, woe is you.

If you DO rescue said Princess within 2 minutes, the Goomba goes hungry.

For example, my first mission idea was one where you beam down to a planet and then have to pick a side of a battle between two tribes. You could also recruit un-allied tribes to a side by doing a side quest. Then, you'd initiate the battle and depending on which side you picked one group would come to the fight with different weapons.

Edit: There really needs to be a checkpoint system available to creators for use in missions. It'd certainly help in designing challenges. Basically as it stands, you want the challenging tasks early so they're easier to retry and have easy later tasks, which is kind of the opposite of normal game design.

From the test adventures I've made, and the few I've played, the cutscenes are generic for the most part.

As you said... it focuses on the character speaking, and it shows any text you want to display. Each little "scene" (this occurs when talking to an NPC, inspecting an object, discovering an object, etc) have up to 5 "screens" of text. Within those 5 parts, besides writing the text you want, you can also choose what mood the character is in.

For example, let's say you want the player to talk to an NPC, and first he says, "Oh my god! It's so good to see you!", you could set the mood to "happy". Then, the next line of text might say, "YOu're just in time, this monster has been terrorizing our village!", and then you could set the mood to afraid.

So on and so forth.

But no, unfortunately no dynamic camera movements, etc :/]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1002810.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1002810.page GMT
Well, first you need to create a second act, to enable the option.

Then, you pull up the behavior options for your effect, and at the top, you'll see an orange bar. Click that bar, and it turns blue. What this does is breaks the link between acts, so you can change the effect during each act.

To do this, you change acts at the bottom of the screen, and then alter the behavior options individually for each act.

Based on my experience, I am confident that the answer is, "No". If there is any weird mismatching or goals, etc, then the mission automatically fails.

What you CAN make optional are object pickups or information. For example, you could have a stone plaque kind of hidden, and if the player finds it, it will reveal some sort of crucial information. Therefore, you've made it optional, since you don't force the player to Move To that goal or whatever.

However, no... it seems that at the moment, optional goals or forking story paths are not included.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003233.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003233.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003251.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003251.page GMT
Now that I can't answer. I haven't gotten that deep into the complex AI stuff yet, but my intuition tells me no. The goals all seem fairly linear, that is, "Complete goal A, goto B. Complete B, goto C. Complete C, goto Act II".

If I'm right about that, then alternate/optional objectives are not currently possible. What I'm saying is that goals are linear and not forked... imagine a flagpole and a tree branch. The goals in GA are like a flagpole... on one straight course, no deviation. They do not branch off.

However, there IS a way to get around this, if you're interested... although at the moment, it isn't perfect, and it requires multiple missions.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003270.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003270.page GMT Can you make an adventure on your home world? ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003359.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003359.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003416.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1003416.page GMT

It is possible to get other creatures to follow the Captain in Galactic Adventures without setting a follow option that will make them chase you down to the ends of the Planet.

Here is the procedure:

1. choose an object (in this case we'll say a Sword)

2. place sword into the world

3. select the creatures you intend to have in the squad (make sure you have a separate cast member tab for
the creatures in the squad, else you may accidentally have all the creatures from the original tab following that object!)

4. Go to the behaviour button on the cast member tab of the squad creature.

5. Go to the Movement style

6. Select "Follow"

7. Drag the target pin underneath the "movement" option and drag it over the Sword, don't release until you see the pin turn green (make sure it is staying green before you release it.

8. If this is a war party, make sure to set the creatures on "aggressive" as well as "allied team". Adjust the awareness level to a desired range.

9. All you need to do now is test play to make sure that the captain can pick up the sword and that the creatures you intended to have follow you do so.

This will allow you to let the player choose if they want to have a group with them when they attack or not!

I was able to have an NPC on buildings..but no vehicles. And items are tricky. One thing I found though when I use creatures on..ior in some cases..IN...is that they dont attack or attract aggro.

Any help on that would be cool.[/quote]
Good point. I don't have GA at the moment, so I can't test these things out myself.(yet) Maybe the awareness radius is sight-based? (ignore the fact that some creatures are naturally blind) Try this experiment to see what I'm talking about:
[list]Place a large but thin wall on the planet.[/list] [list]Place two creatures(one of them being the captain?) on each side of the wall.[/list] [list]Using commen sense, and make sure that neither of them could realisticly see each-other, but are within each-other's awareness radius.[/list] [list]Set one of the creatures to perform a movment involving the other creature. ("follow captain", or "attack creature")[/list] [list]When you go into Test Mode, if the creature tries to perform the movement, we can safely say that the awareness radius could be compared to a "phycic sense"(or using "The Force" to sense them, if you're familiar with Star Wars) If they do nothing, then A: "The awareness radius is indeed based upon line-of-sight." or B: "The movement was set for a different act, was not inputed correctly, or some other user-error."[/list]

The block mission is only that you have to keep the two of them apart- so finding a place the creature can not get to to place the object, or find a way to prevent creature from getting there without killing said creature.

1.) Load up building pieces and arrange them in such a way to make a hollow structure.
2.) Put up walls, add your interior items/creatures, then put on the roof.
3.) Either leave room for a door, so people can walk in or...
4.) Go to Gameplay Objects, select a teleporter and place it wherever you want.
5.) You will see a line of arrows coming out of the teleporter; this is the direction you will teleport in.
6.) You see that little blue knob at the end of line of arrows? Drag that to where you want the teleporter to exit.

Yeah, you know... I think it's absolutely unnecessary for Maxis to have made GA this way.

If I want adventures, I'll find them. I don't need them randomly thrown into my game.

However, just fyi, TeamM... it's not THAT bad. The game only downloads the content if you play the adventure, so although my game has downloaded the data file for tens or hundreds of adventures, it hasn't downloaded all the content from each of them.

So, at least it's got THAT going for it... what I've started doing is, after playing an adventure, I go into my Recent Downloads folder, organize it by author, and then delete everything by people who aren't in my buddies.

From what I've read, points are assigned based on how many people win or lose your mission.

So, they all start out at 10 (I think). If people lose your mission often, that will increase the amount of points it yields. However, if your mission is easy and most people win, then the amount of points goes down.

So basically, the more difficult your mission, the more points it awards. ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1009434.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1009434.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1009702.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1009702.page GMT

Thanks for elaborating. As for wave style missions, well, I believe it should be possible. I'll play around and give you a more specific response in a bit, but off the top of my head, I would try any or all of these NPC enemy behaviors:

-Set their awareness radius to maximum, so they always see your player.
-Set their behavior towards aggressive
-Go into Advanced AI (Ctrl + Click) and edit them for something like "Attack + Player + Always (or On Sight)"

Other than that, it shouldn't be any more difficult than creating normally aggressive enemies. I don't see why they wouldn't come attack you. As for the timing of waves, it might be hard to do in a way that professional video games do, but basically, you just turn on Respawn for the enemies, and then Test the adventure to see how long on average it takes to kill off one wave. Then go back and tweak the duration of the respawn until it seems reasonable, or play with the enemies' HP.

Another more "realistic" way to do it would be to stretch the waves over 2 or 3 acts. You could create, say, 3 different spawn points for the enemies. Have only one group of enemies visible in Act 1, and set the game up to go to Act II once they're defeated. Then, in Act II make a new group visible, and then you'll have two groups of enemies attacking. Then, the same for act three... make the third group visible.


As for disguising things, yeah... as far as I know, you can only disguise gameplay objects. What else would you need to disguise? For any other object, just load it in as a building or vehicle and resize... no need to disguise anything other than gameplay objects.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1013855.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1013855.page GMT
1.) I don't think MC is going to be getting many questions about "Gameplay", because really, there's nothing to mysterious about it; you just play the adventure. The content is created by players, so I'm not sure how many questions would arise that Maxis could answer.

2.) Emotions/behaviors:

I have been playing with the Advanced AI, and watching the videos, etc. I saw the Adventure by Mike Khoury where he made a dance club, and this made me wonder about two things:

a.) Where are the options to make cast members do these different emotes? All I can find are basic emotions. So where can I find out how to make creatures dance, sing, etc etc, on their own? I'd also love to make NPC's sit, talk to each other, etc.

b.)

I originally assumed that the defend goal was completed once all threats to the goal object were eliminated. So i set the goal on a bunker door, ordered some enemies to attack, and killed them, thinking that the story would proceed to the next act. It didn't, obviously.

So my question...How do I complete the defend goal and proceed to the next act? And would dangerous objects like mines, grenades, or barrels prevent you from completeing it if they're still there? Maybe it registers them as dangerous despite the fact that the goal is a building, and therefore cannot step on a mine lol.

Or do I have to set a time limit? A quick response detailing this mysterious goal would be much appreciated...

Also, any idea why two creatures with all the same stats and commands would possibly behave differently? I'm stumped on that too lol]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1018440.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1018440.page GMT

[b]Q: When you set the behavior for a creature (wander radius, peaceful/aggressive, chatter text, etc) does it universally apply to all instances of that creature, or can you set individuals to behave differently?[/b]
Depends what you want.
1. If you want to make a bunch of creatures that look the same with different behaviors, use multiple slots on the cast palette.
2. If you want to make a bunch of creatures that look the same with the same behavior, use just one slot on the cast palette, but drag multiple instances of the creature into your world. Edits made to the behavior of one will be applied to all.[/quote]
Why isn't it possible to give the same kind of creatures/creations different behaviors or speech/captions? This is throwing a monkey wrench in my adventure.

And how can we make so that a goal won't apply to all cast members/creations when you set it? For example; if you set a goal to examine a console in the back of a room but there are others (similar ones) to the side, it applies the goal to [i]all[/i] the consoles. That kind of beats the purpose of adding suspense in epic proportions.

Since we can apply a behavior or speech/caption to a creation per act, it would be even better if we could do that for only one of them.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1030357.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1030357.page GMT

I see what you're saying, and agree, though I think you have figured out how to get around this: you have to load multiple instances of the same prop. So, you load the normal consoles or whatnot, and then you load another instance of that console object, solely for the purpose of the goal.

However, I agree... that seems unnecessarily complex.

Another thing, regarding complexity... has anyone else experienced THIS?

I have found that since installing GA, all of the Editors have, I dunno how to say it... a lower graphics threshold? What I mean is, overall, regardless of whether I'm making an Early Creature or a whole Adventure, my graphics settings have to be set lower or else I get corrupted textures.

The consoles was a simple example, but with that method you reduce your variety quite quickly the more complex you make the mission.

I have a whole bunch of cast members of the same stature I'd like to have different captions and those might include a goal, [i]plus[/i] I need to add quite a lot of other creatures.

Pretty high, I think. If you give a jump pad the highest thrust, the player will almost be shot into orbit and slowly descend back onto the surface. Place a few objects (with ctrl) in the sky and make sure you test it properly to see if it works how you intended.

You can create an invisible barrier by placing a door, enlarging it and making it invisible. If you want to make an aquarium, you can assemble the edges of it made in the building creator (you would only need one part as you can rotate it to make all edges out of it.

You can also make the aquarium in the building editor as big as it goes and enlarge it in the adventure editor, but don't forget the barriers.

You can enlarge them by holding down shift and scrolling the mouse wheel.

You can disguise all gameplay objects with anything you made in the vehicle, spaceship or building editors.

You can make a floating city, just create the floating platforms and the buildings to go on them in the building editor.

In act three of my adventure, there are two goals. 1) Pick up the white key (to go through the white gate) and 2) Talk to the character

Okay.
In the third act of my adventure, there are two separate goals.
The first goal is to simply grab the white key (so that you can go through the white forcefield). I made the goal hidden so that I don't hold the player's hand the whole way through.
The second goal is to go talk to the "emperor". He is sitting on top of a throne, surrounded by four guards. He is an ally, so no problems there.

You would assume that the adventure would just continue on, but I fail as soon as I grab the key.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1044860.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1044860.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1044917.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1044917.page GMT

1. I've played a few missions in space stage, and all the missions that were available in the vicinity of my homeworld are now marked as complete. However, I've been venturing away from my homeworld to find new missions to do, but no matter where I go or how far I venture there aren't any to be found. Has something gone wrong or am I doing something wrong?

2. Is it possible in the mission editor to change the altitude of aircraft and spacecraft? I've tried using ctrl like you would with an object but that doesn't do it. Whenever I place them then run it in test mode they seem to fly rather low, and often get slowed down as they have to climb over much of the terrain.

Hm...try maybe moving the target slightly beyond the teleporter. Maybe he just needs to move an inch or two further.

Or it could be that the NPC thinks the location is blocked.

In one of my mission ideas I had I was planning to make an element of stealth by setting some kind of trigger around an object where if you get to close it "alerts" another creature to your presence. In doing so it'll rush over to attack you. I wanted this to apply to two things, a kind of security droid and relay tower. The towers would signal an overhead space station to fire down at your location if you wandered to close and the droids would tell other, more combat based ones to come in an try and kill you.

I'm having the same problem too, i suspect that's because i have "buddy-only content" enabled. You're apparently supposed to level up from other people's adventures, and the game seems to have some kind of extra restrictions (like, blocks complex missions if your captain's level is too low). So if you want adventures in Space stage, you need to disable "buddy-only content", or hunt for the people who make good adventures and make them your buddies (fortunately, you don't need their consent for that )

The main thing is, once you [i]create[/i] the captain in Space Stage, you can level up that captain through quickplay, so you don't really [i]need[/i] to have adventures available in Space Stage. You can see all recently created adventures in quickplay browser, even if they aren't from your buddies (they just don't appear in your Space game).

Of course the best way to play S:GA is to create your own adventures. You can take a creature from any stage and outfit it as a captain, and you will have access to all accessories. You can't level up that captain, but frankly you don't really need to (since you have access to all the gear). Of course that way you won't have your captain's stats online for everyone to see - for that you need to grind tons of 15 point adventures that are often poorly designed to boot. Myself, i think Spore is more about creating, but ultimately it's a sandbox where you do whatever you feel is fun for you.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1068014.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1068014.page GMT

1. It is determined by rating.

2. Someone was trying to make an easy points adventure (which explains the blue face). If no one is there, try exiting the mission. You will either win or lose because of this. If you win, there is no timer. If you lose, there must be a hidden timer. Since there aren't any bad guys to kill, just let it sit there. If you did have to kill bad guys, kill them and let it sit there. Someone might have been trying to make a normal mission, but it wasn't tested and the AI bugged out.

3.

You are fine. The only way it will appear in the sporepedia is:
1) you save your changes. AND
2) you then share the adventure

If you do this, the sporepedia will show the names of both the original creator and the last person to edit it.

There is a way around having to put the Galactic Adventures DVD in each time you wish to play.

If you have activated your Galactic Adventuers DVD (which will have been activated as long as you also have the EA Download Manager installed and had it logged on), then you can contact EA Tech Support to have them activate an electronic version of it for you to download. Once they activate the electronic version, it will show up in your EA Download Manager. Then, you can uninstall your Galactic Adventures installation (that you installed from the DVD) and then download and install of the electronic version that now appears in the EA Download Manager instead (don't worry, you won't lose any progress you have made).

[b]Is there a way around this?[/b]

I want to be able to create a realistic-looking bridge that vehicles can actually drive over. And, ideally, that boats can float under (which is also a problem with bridges). I do NOT want to change the terrain to create a section that vehicles can drive over normally. I want a bridge, with water flowing underneath, that vehicles can drive over. I don't want to try and disguise some terrain as a bridge. For one thing, I don't think you can make it rise above water then. Would like to know if there is a way that I'm missing.

I do have another question - I think I have seen this posed in a thread but I've been searching for the entire day and can't seem to find it again - tried searching with no luck (sometimes I read so much I forget where I've read it!) So, when I play regular spore - in the space stage - I keep getting missions that are from GA - even when I get the mission from a friendly planet - they send me to a flagged planet - like I have said, I'm not the best player and I end up dying on each of these missions... my question is this - are there any regular type missions left in the space stage that aren't GA?

a) put one army on RED and the other on YELLOW. By defaut they only attack other teams (not neutral or No Team).

b) You adjust the health and damage of each epic. By default the epic do the normal creature damage (they don't do more damage just because they are bigger) -- about 10 points per attack. You can slide the damage slider to make this 90 per attack. Of course you can also equip the epics with captain parts and use the slider so that epic bladed knuckles to several hundred damage an attack.

c) Don't know.

I recall in a GA video I watched I remember seeing giant spaceships floating around in the atmosphere. However, I tried placing one in my mission and to my distress it didn't float about in space above the planet, it just hovered above ground. How do I go about making it fly above the planet as opposed to a few feet off the ground.

Secondly, do I do a collect objective? I set that as an objective to do and I never learned how to set an object as being one of those objects you need to pick up and collect. How is it I go about doing that?

Thirdly, How does masking an object with another one work? I made a few weapons and items in the building and vehicle creators but I never found them on the props menus.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1092238.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1092238.page GMT if you are reffering to the mission mothership down by maxis the actual massive spaceship you see in the air is actually a building made up of many large scale parts. Spaceships can only do exactly what you see them doing in game.
Collect objectives are best used on small props like the ones you can pick up or a crystal or something that would look silly if the captain were to actually pick it up. All you do is drag the objectives marker over the item you want the captain to collect then click collect and state if you need to collect all of that item or just one of them... simple

Masking objects only really works with the powerups, gates and other gameplay props you can add from a preset list made by maxis.

understandable.

2 reasons. Some of the adventures can be upwards of 5K of data and its ALL gotta be downloaded before you play. the download just says to your game "HEY GET THESE FILES" when you play the first time or edit it the first time, thats when the game actually gets the files and incorperates them into the game. second, the game itself is quick in its runnings because of the fact it boots all the background junk first.

[b]Is there a way around this?[/b]

I want to be able to create a realistic-looking bridge that vehicles can actually drive over. And, ideally, that boats can float under (which is also a problem with bridges). I do NOT want to change the terrain to create a section that vehicles can drive over normally. I want a bridge, with water flowing underneath, that vehicles can drive over. I don't want to try and disguise some terrain as a bridge. For one thing, I don't think you can make it rise above water then. Would like to know if there is a way that I'm missing.

If you want to change the size of a creature, building, etc. and your laptop has a touchpad, you can change the size without the use of a mousewheel.
This is how it works:

step 1) first click on the thing you want to change the size of.

step 2) hold down the shift button

step 3) to make things bigger, continue to hold down the shift button and drag your thumb and index finger to the center of the touchpad (pretend youre pinching the pad) repeat this until you get the size you want.

to make things smaller, continue to hold the shift button and press your thumb and index finger in the center, then drag your tumb and finger outward (like the pinching before, but go backwards). repeat this until you get the size you want.

Thanks, David8472. I forgot to reply that that part and mention that it IS illegal to use a No-CD crack if you do NOT actually own a legal copy of the game.

Plus, as I also did mention, there's no need since you can download an electronic version of it after contacting EA Tech Support.

Besides, using a No-CD crack runs the risk of possibly infecting your machine (depending on where you got the crack from), and you'd need to find another crack every time a new official patch comes out. With the electronic download version of Galactic Adventures, you'll always be able to install the latest patch without worry.

I'm just sort of suprised EA didn't delete the post suggesting a No-CD crack. Most gaming sites would have. Guess EA doesn't look that closely at these forums. Even if you have a legal copy of the game, suggesting a No-CD crack still promotes the idea of using one even if you don't have a legal copy of the game.

Anyhow, once again, here are the steps to getting the electronic version of Galactic Adventures if you have gotten the DVD version instead:

[b]1.[/b] If you have activated your Galactic Adventuers DVD (which will have been activated as long as you also have the EA Download Manager installed and had it logged on), then you can [i]contact EA Tech Support to have them activate an electronic version of it for you to download and install instead (don't worry, you won't lose any progress or creations you have made).[/i]

[b]2.[/b] Once they activate the electronic version, it will show up in your EA Download Manager (EADM).

[b]3.[/b] Then, you can [i]uninstall your Galactic Adventures[/i] installation (that you installed from the DVD) and then [i]download and install of the electronic version that now appears in the EA Download Manager instead[/i].

There is [i]no extra cost[/i] of having to buy another electronic download version of the game.

[b]NOTE:[/b] When you contact EA Tech Support, make sure you are clear and that they understand you have the DVD Version (activated it) and that you now want to have the electronic version activated so you can play without the DVD. Otherwise, you might just get a contact back from someone stating something like, "we're sorry, but the game was designed to need to be in the drive for you to play."

Again, no extra cost to do this and you won't lose any progress or creations etc.

[quote=MaxisCactus][size=30]Gameplay FAQ[/size]



[i]Your question not answered here? Don't forget to check out the instruction manual [url=http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/manuals/GAME-SPOREEP1/Manuals.zip]here[/url].[/i]

[b][size=18]Captains[/size][/b]
[b]Q: Are the spots on the creature where the captain parts are placed fixed?[/b]
A: Captain parts can be added to creatures anywhere in the same way that accessory are. One small new change is that you can additionally pin captain parts to each other.

[b]Q: How can I change the pitch of my captains voice?[/b]
A: The voice of the captain is based on mouth type. You can also change the pitch by adjusting the size of your captain. Select your captain by clicking on it on the planet, hold shift, and scroll the mouse wheel up or down. Smaller captains have squeaky voices while larger ones have booming voices. This also works on other characters.

[b]Q: How can I place my captain? I see a message that says "You have to have a Captain and place the Captain in a valid area"[/b]
A: You can find the captain in the lower right hand corner of the screen in Edit mode. Left click on the captain and drag him/her into the world. If your captain is legally placed you'll see it appear on the planet with a green star around it.

[b]Q: How can I unlock more parts for my captain?[/b]
A: Unlocks are awarded based on the number of points your captain has. Play more adventures to gain more captain points.

[b][size=18]Adventure Creation[/size][/b]

[b]Q: How can I apply a filter to my adventure?[/b]
A: Bring up the cheat console by pressing CTRL SHFT C and type "help adventureLook" to get a full list of adventure filters, [url=http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/35301.page#1071384]or check out this guide. [/url]

[b][size=15]Cast[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How can I quickly view all instances of a cast member in my adventure?[/b]
A: Hold control and right click on the cast member image in the palette to move your camera to that creation in the adventure. Subsequent clicks move the camera to additional instances.

[b]Q: How can I make a flying/air vehicle appear crashed?[/b]
Add a fixed object to your adventure and use the disguise option on the behavior palette to make it look like it's an air vehicle. [i] (Thanks for the tip G3NJI!)[/i]

[b]Q: How exactly does the complexity score work?[/b]
A: The complexity score calculations are pretty complicated. [url=http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/0/32184.page]Hit this thread for a detailed breakdown. [/url]

[b]Q: How can I scale the size on cast members or my captain if I don' t have a mouse wheel?[/b]
A: You will need to scroll to scale creations up and down. On some laptops, you can assign a portion of the touch pad to act as the mouse wheel.


[b]Q: How can I equip crew members?[/b]
1. In edit mode, click the + button next to "Crew" on the right
2. Click the square Crew button to open Sporepedia and choose a crew member.
3. Click the check to exit. Your crew member icon should show up in the crew square, and you can check to verify that they appear by entering play mode.

[b]Q: Why do trees have a spawner timer on their behavior panel? Is it possible to kill or destroy trees? [/b]
A: No. The spawner timer doesn't affect trees. They can't be destroyed during an adventure.

[b]Q: An object I've placed in my adventure is reported missing by others. How can I find out what's happened to it? [/b]
A: This could be a result of the physics in the game causing objects to be displaced. To test, in edit mode move the object in question right in front of the captain. Is it still missing? If not, it may have been moved during the time it took for the captain to be near it.

This occurs most frequently with round objects such as bal, or objects placed on slanted terrain/buildings or in the way of vehicles.

Also, double check the acts to make sure the missing item isn't Hidden or Invisible when it should be.

[b][size=15]Behavior[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How can I edit the behavior of as cast member in just one act? [/b]
A: Open the cast member behavior palette, then click on the link icon to break the link. When the link is broken, your behavior changes are applied only to the act you're in.

[b]Q: When you set the behavior for a creature (wander radius, peaceful/aggressive, chatter text, etc) does it universally apply to all instances of that creature, or can you set individuals to behave differently?[/b]
Depends what you want.
1. If you want to make a bunch of creatures that look the same with different behaviors, use multiple slots on the cast palette.
2. If you want to make a bunch of creatures that look the same with the same behavior, use just one slot on the cast palette, but drag multiple instances of the creature into your world. Edits made to the behavior of one will be applied to all.

[b]Q: Can my creatures ride in vehicles? [/b]
A: No.

[b]Q: How do you make different directions of path for the patrol movement? [/b]
1. Open the behavior palette on a cast member.
2. Click the movement button and select Patrol.
3. Hold ALT and drag the patrol marker away. This create a new one.
4. Repeat step 3 for added directions. You can optionally close the circuit to make your patroller move in a loop.
[url=http://www.spore.com/what/screensmovies#pc/v27][img]http://www.adpselect-info.com/client/images/movieCamera.gif[/img][/url]This movie walks through the steps. Fast forward to 8:23 to skip to the part about setting patrol directions.

[b]Q: Can you make a character say different things in different acts? [/b]
A: Yes.
1. Open the cast behavior palette for the character.
2. Verify that the correct act you want to edit is selected at the top of the behavior palette, and that you've clicked the link button to break the link and turn the bar blue.
3. Click Speech/Captions and enter the text in the order you'd like it to appear.
4. Click the Change Act button to switch to another act
5. Enter totally new text!
[i]Important: Don't forget that the link between acts is now broken, so changes you make to one act will not automatically be applied to other acts. To form the link again, simply click the link button from step 2 again.[/i]

[b][size=15]Advanced AI[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How can I edit the advanced AI? [/b]
A: To 'promote' a creature to be using Advanced AI you have to ctrl-click on one of the standard behaviors (shown as buttons along the top of the behavior palette). That behavior will be expanded as Advanced AI. At any time you can reset over your advanced ai by ctrl clicking one of the other behaviors. After a creature has an adv behavior then you can use the yin/yang button. We hope to post more details about advanced behavior editing soon!

Check out this [url=http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/34155.page]Guide to Advanced AI[/url] for more info.


[b][size=15]Acts[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How can I add an act? [/b]
A: Click the "+" button at the bottom of the acts section to add an act.

[b]Q: How many acts can you have? [/b]
A: 8


[b][size=15]Goals[/size][/b]

[b]Q: How do you bring things? For instance, I set up a mission where the goal is to bring a creature to move to something else.[/b]
A: Bring is a goal that only applies to NPCs (non-playable characters) and [i]handheld [/i]objects. You can bring an NPC or handheld object to any [i]fixed [/i]object, building, vehicle, or creature (other than itself).
Steps to set a bring goal:
1. Drag the goal marker over the NPC or [i]handheld [/i]object you want to "bring" and release it when it turns green. Select "Bring."
2. You'll notice that the goal has 2 slots, rather than 1. The first is filled with a thumbnail of the NPC. The second is blank. Both markers in the goal are red.
3. Add another [i]fixed [/i]object, building, vehicle, or creature to the world that you want to set as your bring target. Drag the second marker to this new item and release it when it turns green.
Both slots should now be filled in and both markers will be green.

To complete the goal, you'll have to find a way to move the first item to the second. For handheld objects, you can pick them up and carry them over.

For NPCs, you can set the NPC's behavior to [i]follow [/i]your captain by clicking it's behavior palette, clicking movement, clicking follow.

A spinning a yellow marker appears below the movement style button. Drag this marker to the captain and release it. The NPC will follow your captain after your captain enters its awareness radius.

[b][size=15]Text[/size][/b]
[b]Q: How do you add a description to your goal?[/b]
1. When editing the adventure, click on the act name to open the act description field, and describe the goals of the act.
2. Enter play mode to verify that your description appears above the act goals.

[b][size=15]Keyboard Controls[/size][/b]
[b]Q: I don't have a middle mouse button. How can I adjust the pitch of my camera?[/b]
A: There is no replacement keyboard control for the middle mouse button. For camera control, this means you won't be able to adjust the pitch, but you can adjust the yaw using the arrow keys, and the zoom using the + and - keys.

On some laptops you can assign a portion of the touch pad to act as the scroll wheel.


[b][size=18]Adventure Play[/size][/b]
[i]This section will be fleshed out when players have asked more questions about Adventure Play[/i]

[b][size=18]Web[/size][/b]
[b]Q: Does rating affect the Spore Points of an adventure?[/b]
A: No. Spore Points are determined by the number of plays an adventure has, and the win/loss ratio of the Adventure.

[b][size=18]Integration with Space and the rest of Spore[/size][/b]
[b]Q: Can players who don't have Creepy & Cute still play adventures made using the parts pack?[/b]
A: Players who don't have C&C will still be able to download adventures by players who do have the parts pack. Those creations that use C&C parts will be swapped out, and no points are awarded to the playing captain.

[b]Q: What are Spore Points used for?[/b]
A: Glory and bragging rights. You get more Spore Points by playing different adventures, rating adventures, creating adventures, and having people play your adventures.

[b]Q: I thought I earned a GA specific achievement, but it didn't show up. Why?[/b]
A: Check out this [url=http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/34187.page]Quick Achievement Guide[/url] to find out if you met all the requirements to earn it.

[b]Q: I am getting the same Maxis-made adventures repeatly. Why?[/b]
A: Missions handed out by alien empires depend on the empire's archetype, with each correspond to a specific Adventure Type that they will offer. In addition to the introductory mission (Spaceport), the first time you meet an archetype, you'll be offered a default Maxis made mission of that archetype. Once you complete the default mission from that archetype, the subsequent missions offered will be randomized.

I'd like to level my captain as much as possible, but if no points are rewarded for completing locked games I'm tempted not to try thoose (and I yet havent). I've got limited game-time (online time) so I want to make the most for my captains with the time I've got.



Also. I've been looking around for vehicles-post and could not find one that covers ridable vehicles. I'd like to create an adventure where one of the acts are merely an intense rollercoaster-ride in a tunnel. problem nr1: The vehicle will not drive on top of a building (no roof, no hollow, just a flat piece). secondly, I've made a "hoovercraft" sort of vehicle with plenty of room, is there a way to get the captain "in" it without standing on top of its highest point? and 3rd, is there a way for the vehicle to start running when I get on it (without it starting the second I get near it).?

I've found Ridable vehicles sporecasts and all vehicles ahve the same issues, even hollow ones, can't seem to get inside them thanks

The Mission of Mr. Enigma is in water.

The Missions Delicate Negotiations and the others missions are with mountains, holes and valleys , for example, the mission Delicate Negotiations, the village is in a deep hole.
Or in some missions where there is water, it does not appear.

Yeah, that's supposed to happen. Just play it in the editor, or do yourself a favor and actually get the parts pack. You'll always be left out if you don't.

How do you throw a pie at the clown in Adventure Town? I can pick up the pie by clicking on it (only works about 1 out of 5 clicks).

Can't throw it though -- I've tried clicking on everything I can think of while holding the pie, but it never throws. My kids were fooling around with it and managed to blow up themselves (but not the clown). What am I missing here?


[i]Edit[/i]: never mind. It's basic, just like I thought. You just have to be in attack (red) stance, and click on the clown. Just make sure your captain's arms are long enough to throw over the pie bench, or else you will kill yourself. ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1255430.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1255430.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1260693.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1260693.page GMT
I'm new to GA myself, but I have been reading all the FAQ's recently, so I know this one. They always default to 10 points. You can't set it. Once you publish, the Sporepedia will track how many people complete it, and how many fail. The points will increase if it is more difficult. I don't know if there is a max or minimum. ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1265792.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1265792.page GMT http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1269654.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1269654.page GMT [/quote]

im making an adventure where your allies base gets attacked in act 4 (the enermys should appear in act 3), but the enermys apear in acts 1,2 i dont want them to be there in acts 1,2. also using the same creature in a destroyed base as dead they dont apear dead they just stand there, the creatures ive used for the alies stay dead but not the creatures ive used for the enermy.

so my question is how can i make creatures appear only in acts 3 and 4 and how can i make creatures stay dead?

Hm...try maybe moving the target slightly beyond the teleporter. Maybe he just needs to move an inch or two further.

Or it could be that the NPC thinks the location is blocked. Is there anything that could potentially be in the way, such as the actual teleporter pad itself (if it's positioned awkwardly, it might be causing the problem)?[/quote]


This is because the 'Move to' selection, as with captain goals, you only have to move NEAR it to 'Move to'. As was said, Make a target a bit or so behind the teleporter.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1364789.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/31423/1364789.page GMT
As banji400 pointed out move to makes the NPC move near but not necessarily on the way point, so adjusting the way point may help. Sometimes put a way point before the teleporter and then after the teleporter will trick the NPC into walking over the pad.

Also, sometimes NPC can have problems stepping up and onto the teleporter base. It is as if the path plotting logic treats the teleporter base as an obstacle to go around. Sometimes this problem can be fixed by using CTRL + drag to move the teleporter base into the ground or using TAB to rotate the pad to make it easier to step on. Or you can turn the base invisible. A final option is to rotate the teleporter pad 90 degrees so that the NPC walks into the beam of light coming from the teleporter pad.

Then, you put the other end of the teleporter (the orange one) at the interior door. Renember to turn the teleporter out put (the orange one) to fase away from the door, so that it looks like the creature is stepping out of the door. Finally, make the teleporter invisible! I'm sure you can find demo's on YouTube.

I would really love to use my crew. I know that the Adventures I'm going on are "crew allowable" but the three crew slots are greyed out...even when I have five allies...I'm all the way through Space Stage now, but would still love to use my crew on Adventures.

Also...I've played that DNA Adventure for over a half an hour and cannot figure out how to get into the cell. I can see inside by rushing the wall...but can't seem to find the way in.

Thanks!

Absolutely. I ended up finally picking up playing again, got to Space Phase last night and ended up playing Capture the Flag as a random mission today during the Space Phase.

[b]I would like to add more question.[/b] Or are these suggestions, if there is no way?

It would *really* help in design and testing to also be able to change the order of Goals in an act.

As I'm playtesting I always get some new great idea and cannot insert it without a lot of copy-pasting all over.

Thanks!
