Hey everyone! This is a little mod I made years ago, but has since become lost, for the most part. The latest version that can be found online seems to be 1.8.1.

Here's the latest 2.0 version, directly from where it's been gathering dust in the archives of my personal Dropbox.

The complete change log for this version is one thing I've yet to find, but a brief summary of its changes is as follows:

CELL STAGE
- Replaces Cell Editor with 3D editor.
- Many minor changes to Cell gameplay.

CREATURE STAGE
- 1.5x longer (needs more DNA collection to progress).
- Strike 1 is replaced by a weak Stomp.
- Charge 4 & 5 are Static Charge abilities.
- Spit 5 is a paralyzing Lightning Spit
- Flying is much more useful.
- Eating fruit or the first bite of a corpse grants small amounts of DNA.
- Smaller creatures can be picked up and thrown about.
- Sea Monster completely removed. Your species will have nests on other continents, but I haven't found a way to have other animals' nests get there too (yet).
- Nest populations are increased.

TRIBE & CIV STAGE
- Many small changes to the gameplay of these stages.

SPACE STAGE
- Scores of new tools and weapons.
- Massive gameplay changes across the board.

INCORPORATED MODS
- BetterSpore
- Corporations
- So many others that I forgot, all merged in to ensure compatibility.
- Log's CityWalls mod (look for the Flag icon in Space colony planner) with my own tweaks and additions
- Genetic Modifier added to Tribe, Civ, and Space stages. From your colony/hut/city planner, go to the Outfit tab, and the Genetic Modifier will be present. You MUST remove all outfit parts in the Genetic Modifier for it to let you save. Add outfit parts back in the Outfitter.



Installation:
Place the .Package file in your Steam\steamapps\common\spore\Data AND DataEP1 folders.

Outdated, but more complete change log:
http://parkystan.com/pages/Platinum-Spore.html

The download on that page is for 1.8.1.

I'll provide support as best I can. Source code for 1.8.1 is here: (I'll upload updated source if anyone is particularly interested, but few things changed)

I used SporeMaster to unpack the base game files and to pack my mod. I do not know where it can be found, if it still can be, nor if there is a less buggy mod maker these days.

NOTE:
Steam automatically patches the game to 1.5, which unfortunately makes almost all mods essentially nonfunctional. The only way to make it work is by running Galactic Adventures instead of the regular Spore app. You can try to circumvent this by renaming the package file to something like 'a_platinumspore2.0.package'. Can't guarantee it, though.

TRANSLATION & LOCALISATION
If you want to translate this mod into your native language, download the locale files here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hc1dxd3b4hae3s0/PlatinumSpore_Locale.zip?dl=0

Edit them in a standard text editor. Only the lines starting with '0x' will be visible in game, so only translate those, leaving the 0x0000000 numbers intact. Send me the files so I can compile the mod into a localised version.

=======RECENT CHANGES========
------ 2.0.5 -------
>Fixed issue with creature abilities not working correctly, a glitch introduced accidentally in properly localising the mod for use in other languages.
------ 2.0.4 -------
>Fixed glitch with some enemy weapons where they'd apply strange damage rules that overflowed your health into the negative millions without killing you.
>Fixed unusual progression of some enemy weapon types.
------ 2.0.3 -------
> Tweaked Nova city wall style
> Stability fixes
> Added Genetic Modifier to all stages past creature.
> Replaced Liquid Cell background with a more atmospheric and primordial look (jk I just stole a couple of vehicle editor backgrounds for it but it looks cool)
> A few tool fixes
------ 2.0.2 -------
> Modified many hidden settings, mostly to do with graphics quality and rendering settings. Creature stage looks a little shinier and neater.
> Tweaked some things that I'm not sure of their function yet; will update if or when I find out.
> Updated the entries for game servers to reflect recent Spore updates, so the online functions work correctly. Still had some legacy configs hanging out in my files. May still be more, but I have confirmed most creations will be populated into your game from the servers correctly.

=======TODO=======
> Make Angry Ray its own icon. Too much confusion.
> Figure out a better tool placement for Weapons panel. It's too cluttered. Needs a concrete arrangement. Maybe combat combat in the main panel, and aux combat in the subsequent panels? Not sure; suggestions welcome.

N.B.: I don't speak, read or write Russian, and i can't offer support in Russian. This is another user's translation that they offered.

Всем привет! Это небольшой мод , который я сделал много лет назад, но забросил на долгое время. Последняя версия, которую вы можете найти в интернете - 1.8.1.

Здесь последняя 2.0 версия, прямиком с пыльной полки моего личного архива Dropbox.

Полный журнал изменений мне найти так и не удалось, но если вкратце, то изменения выглядят так:

ЭТАП КЛЕТКА
- Заменён редактор клетки 3D редактором.
- Большое количество мелких изменений самого этапа.

ЭТАП СУЩЕСТВО
- В 1.5 раза длиннее (требуется больше ДНК чтобы завершить этап).
- Удар на 1 заменён слабым пинком под зад.
- Плевок 4 И 5 начальные уровки плевка.
- Полёт теперь гораздо полезнее.
- При поедании плода или при первом укусе трупа вы получаете небольшое количество ДНК.
- Вы можете взять маленькое существо и кинуть его куда подальше.
- Морской монстр безобиден, но он есть. Пересечь океан возможно, как и играть на других континентах. Но это очень багово
- Увеличено количество гнёзд.

ЭТАП ПЛЕМЯ И ЦИВИЛИЗАЦИЯ
- Небольшие изменения геймплея на этих этапах.

ЭТАП КОСМОС
- Множество новых инструментов.
- Огромное изменение геймплея этапа по всем направлениям.

ВСТРОЕННЫЕ МОДЫ
- BetterSpore
- Corporations
- И так много других, которые я забыл, но все они объединены и полностью совместимы друг с другом
- Log's CityWalls mod (ищите иконку флага(Flag)в окне Колонизации) с моими фишками и дополнениями
- Редактор существ на этапе Племя, Цивилизация и Космос. В колонии/хижине/ратуше зайдите в раздел экипировки, и откроется редактор существ. Вам НЕОБХОДИМО УДАЛИТЬ всю экипировку в редакторе существ, чтобы сохранить существо. Если вам нужна экипировка, добавьте её в редакторе экипировки обратно.

ССЫЛКИ НА СКАЧИВАНИЕ:
(См. Выше для локализованных версий на английском и русском языках.)

УСТАНОВКА:
Поместите фал с расширением ".Package" в папку, которая находится по адресу: Steam\steamapps\common\spore\Data и DataEP1

Устарело, но более точное описание прошлых изменений:
http://parkystan.com/pages/Platinum-Spore.html

Загрузка на этой странице рассчитана на вресию 1.8.1.

Я буду оказывать поддержку, насколько смогу. Исходный код для 1.8.1 находится здесь: (Я загружу обновленный источник, если кто-то особенно заинтересован, но кое-что поменяется)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hmh6y6uo978xevw/PlatinumSpore.zip?dl=0

Я использовал SporeMaster, чтобы распаковать файлы самой игры и на их основе создать мод. Я не знаю, где его можно найти, существует ли он по-прежнему, и нет ли в наши дни менее багнутого создателя модов.

ЗАМЕТКА:
Steam автоматически исправляет игру до 1.5, что, к сожалению, делает практически все моды по существу нефункциональными. Единственный способ заставить его работать - запустить приложение Galactic Adventures вместо обычного приложения Spore. Вы можете попытаться обойти это, переименовав пакетный файл в нечто вроде «a_platinumspore2.0.package». Но я не могу дать гарантии, что это сработает.

=======ПОСЛЕДНИЕ ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ========
------ 2.0.3 -------
> Новые тонкие стены города
> Иправления стабильности
> Добавлен редактор вашего существа во все этапы.
> Заменён фон Редактора Клетки на более атмосферный (хех, я просто стырил пару лампочек с редактора техники, но это выглядит круто)
> Некоторые исправления инструментов
------ 2.0.2 -------
> Изменено множество скрытых настроек, в основном для улучшения качества графики и рендеринга. Этап Существо выглядит немного светлее и аккуратнее.
> Изменены некоторые вещи, которые я сам ♥♥♥♥ работают или нет, обновлю, когда узнаю.
> Обновлены записи для игровых серверов, чтобы отражать последние обновления Spore, поэтому онлайновые функции работают корректно. Тем не менее некоторые устаревшие конфиги находятся в моих файлах. Возможно, их будет больше, но я уверен, что большинство созданий будут правильно занесены в вашу игру с серверов.

=======ПОПРОБУЮ СДЕЛАТЬ=======
> Сделать Злым(Красным) свою собственную иконку. Слишком много путаницы.
> Подумать о лучшем размещении инструментов в панели «Оружие». Там слишком мало место. Нуждается в конкретном расположении. Может быть, добавить их на главную панель или на следующие? Не уверен; Предложения приветствуются..

Is it at all possible to make a version without the extra spices (chilli etc). They make it basically impossible to make money via spice, because they're never in demand unless you carry 20+ types at all times.

Or a step-by-step on how to modify the package would also work, although I saw what someone said about packing the mod bugging it out.

Heh. Chilli is one of the stock spices, just renamed. Those are common enough that they're pretty worthless. But if you do a bit more diligent searching and get some pepper/salt/(whatever I called the really pale blue one) then you'll make bank.

It takes a bit more effort with PS, but you can make significantly more with spice than you can with the base game.

As for modifying the mod... I'm honestly not too sure, myself. I guess I must have meddled too much with SporeMaster's alias files, because at some point after v1.6 of my mod I noticed that if I tried to unpack it again that SM was unable to unpack it properly.

It might have to be manually extracted with some other technique, preserving as many of the custom aliases as possible, then loaded in SM, perhaps changing the [spacetools] and such aliases back to their original form spacetools~ in the files and in the names.txt file before loading it into SM.

Is there a way to make Davos' unlimited complexity work with Platinum Spore? I've found that installing it makes the cell stage flat again, for example.

[rainofthestorm]

Not really, no.

[Cyrus]

So was city templates never a thing experimented with, or would it involve too many things to reliably do?

[Blackjack]

Is there a way to add unlimited complexity(The mechanic, not the mod) to Platinum Spore perhaps? I enjoy making very complicated looking creatures, but I also really love PS' expansions. I don't mind trying to add it myself somehow if it isn't too complicated. I just don't know how.

Does Dark Injection work alongside PS now then? I remember that the last time I tried that stuff conflicted, but that was also a long time ago.

I'm playing with Dark injection and Platinumspore, haven't run into any obvious issues.

@Doomshroom @ChocIce75
Thanks! I'll give it a try then!

[ChrisKons]

I hate to bother, but what is the latest version as of march 2018? Thanks.

[Stakhanov]

I also hate to pose a question, but I've noticed with a few of the upgrades, namely the platinum cargo upgrade and interstellar drive, it listed the requirements as "Gopher 5, Trader 4, and", but there is no extra requirement. When I achieve both Gopher and Trader, it is still locked with "Requires " and it's blank. Is this a bug or am I missing something? A couple of things seem impossible to unlock.

@Stakhanov
I'm fairly confident there is a "Tech" requirement as well like owning some other "tool" first.
