The military convo has a nuke, a nukemobile, and pie.

And the pie rocks.

First off, you're retarded.  Second off, follow the fucking food web.

So, Spore is rife with various symbols and markings to designate various things.  Mostly with planets and their types.  I'm having trouble figuring a single symbol out.  It's a planetary symbol that looks like a maple leaf or something.  There's a paw for creature stage, a campfire for tribal, a UN-esque symbol for civ, and a rocket for Space.  I assume it means cell, but then again, why designate that if you can't interact with cell-level creatures?

Also, this really didn't fit in anywhere else and this is a shiny new forum.

Feh.  You have at least 2,000 stars in the EAxian Way galaxy.  That should tithe one over until we create our own universe with the LHC.

I'll bet Steve was sent out thousands of years ago in game so that we get to the center to find that the race that sent it out no longer exists.

As notovny said earlier, people wopuld pretty much go "What, you can play in other galaxies too?  How is that different?"  Truly, that's pretty much hit it on the head.  Galaxies are galaxies.

Although, maybe they'd add rare galaxy formations like quasars!

Spode people will always attack.  The diplomats are annoying.  The creatures of the light need to STFU.  The Force people are able to be bought.

On Normal I always get stuck next to the people who attack me because I don't believe in Sporn or whatever.  I tried to escape into a galaxy long ago and far away, but then the fuckers followed me.  Dunno how, I was hundreds of pcs away from them.  Their name?  The Troggs. 

I love the music.  It are win.

Get a log.

Why do I suspect that the SecuROM uninstall would either break stuff or do nothing at all?  Also, who gives out an uninstalled to copy protection?  Sony FTL.

It's what the Prime Guide for the basegame calls them.  Stuff like that happens.

When you extract them, they come out as .xa files.  Programs such as Xantippe convert them to MP3.

Wunderkind.

Hmmm.  I think I will have to talk to jfade about reading sim character files.

Hey, I imagine that pregnancies and agings will have the tenants pooling outside of your, unable to break in.  Am I right?

She was the new gay forever ago.  She's really more of the old new gay, now.

Jfade feels that AL is offensive to wiccans.

Hey, Inge, I think I might take the character file reader idea farther.  How is the character file data structured?

That is partially why I suggested you talk to jfade. 

Yep, they changed it.  But anyway, the fields probably stay the same for each sim.  The easiest way I found to figure out what CSV fields meant was just exporting the sim data to CSV and reading it, applying what I knew to what it said.  It'd probably involve you running back and forth between the game and excel to figure it out, but it's certainly plausible.

Also, to make the program compatible for others without EPs, you could have them check a box for which EPs they have and then have it search for those fields which were added with certain EPs, specifically.

You might want to talk to jfade about this, too.  He's currently away, but he knows all sorts of stuff about how to handle TS2 files.

What are you writing SimSheet in, rufio?  Last I checked, CSV does give the data a "tag" which should allow your program to search and find it.  It shouldn't be too hard to write a CSV-searching method and then use it to import the CSV's usable data.  Then again, it was a long time since I've looked at the CSV sheet and I may be talking through my ass.

ETA: I've actually been thinking a lot about this, too.  What if one were to write a program that reads the character files and updates automatically, instead of you feeding it CSV files?  It'd only be a matter of decoding the character files, but if SimPE can do it, then so can you.  Naturally, you'd want to keep the character files read-only (or would you?) and only display the new data.  It'd probably be not too hard to have it automatically find important data, too.  Searching for changes, and what not.

Well, it's probably a Uni or BV hack I didn't properly filter from the DC.

This error happened when I loaded up CAS and tried to make a sim.  I hit reset and then it popped back up, then then hitting reset would constantly spawn it.  So then, I hit delete, and CAS dies.

Running p3 FT, Pets, Seasons, OFB, NL.

ETA: Currently determined that it is some awesomeware that is erroring.  Check this space to find out which!

Hmm.

I have all EPs, no SPs.  My game IS compatible with all specs, 100% sure.  I think I will just reinstall.

Thanks, y'all.

So, I've got an Armageddon going on in my game.  It's all happening at once.

So, first, I tried to add a college to my game.  Crash.
Deleted that neighborhood, added new one, tried to add a college.  Crash.
It only crashes when it says "Loading [Collegename]."  WTF is up?

So, decided to ignore the colleges.  Loaded up CAS.  Missing textures about.  Tried to make a more than one sim family resulted in a crash.

All crashes created a message that says, "The application has crashed and will now terminate."  I don't know what's wrong.  I just want to play sims. 

Removing hacks does NOT help.
