You may have already played around with the styleFilter cheats in Spore, but you'll need to use the adventureLook cheat to change the look of your Galactic Adventure.

Your filter changes will be saved and published with the adventure, so others playing it can see it just as you intended it to look!

Filter previews:
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3527/3702653446_2f41968fc5_o.png[/img]

[b]Easy steps to applying an Adventure filter:[/b]
1. Open your adventure in edit mode
2. Open the cheat console by pressing CTRL SHFT C
3. Type in adventureLook followed by a filtername (listed below). I.E. for sepia, type in
"adventureLook -sepia"
4. Check it out in play mode, and if you like it, save and publish.

[b]Filters available[/b]
-filmnoir
-eightbit
-sixteenbit
-watercolor
-norainbows
-sepia
-none

To reference the filter list in your game, type "help adventureLook" into the cheat console to list all filters.

MaxisCactus' Tip: Don't use the styleFilter cheat when in adventure mode. It won't work and the adventure may break.

My warning against using the styleFilter cheat in adventure edit mode was based on wonkiness I've experienced with this and the advice of the engineer who created the filters. However, you can use cheats however you like - at your own risk .

We don't currently have plans to add the other styleFilter filters to GA, but I can note the request to the team. ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/35301/1071589.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/35301/1071589.page GMT [/quote]

I should clarify that my warning against using styleFilter in adventure mode is superfluous. The correct filters for Adventure mode are the adventureLook ones. This was simply a cautionary note, just in case anyone was curious and thought they'd try mixing these up.

Stylefilter(whilst playing the core game) and adventureLook(while authoring & playing adventures) work just smoothly.

Either code will not trigger an error when used in the wrong situation, but may not do anything.

The sepia filter in action, which is my favorite. Followed then by 8/16-bit and filmnoir. norainbows has a feel to it too, but I can't think of too many instances in which watercolor would be handy other than an "inside a painting" adventure.

[b]I enjoy the filters and would especially love more of them in future patches.[/b]
