API Apps

These tools should work if you have Spore or its expansions for the PC. The programs are developed using the Spore API that Maxis offers to grab data off of their servers of creations and creator’s! It can be used for many things – programs, websites, gadgets for Vista…you name it! Please keep in mind that since it’s grabbing data off of the actual Spore servers, there may be a time when the program or data may become obsolete! To download the files, you may either click the ‘Download Here’ button to start the process or you may be directed to a specific site where you can download it from there. You can also view a larger picture of the program by clicking on the thumbnail image provided.

If you happen to come by a broken link or you see a tool that is not listed here, please use our contact form and notify us about it!

Before you download: We are in no way responsible for the patches or programs on this site in terms on how they may effect gameplay. All of the files hosted on our site are virus free so you shouldn’t experience any issues on that matter, however some downloads may modify how the game performs or a game’s files.

Sporecast Signature

Download: Click here
Creator: Nightgunner5
Source: The Sporums

A 158-line PHP script to generate a forum signature with a latest Sporecast asset. It only needs three lines of configuration (one is optional) and a base image like this one. (A template is included in the .zip.)

Here’s how you can use it:

Download the code from here.

On lines 3 and 4 of sig.php, change the Sporecast ID and (optionally) the font location.
On line 2 of .htaccess, change the /spore/ to the location on your website the files are. For example, if sig.php is accessible at http://example.com/sporesig/sig.php, use RewriteBase /sporesig/

Upload it to your server and go to the sig.php file. You’ll get a few error messages, but don’t worry. Refresh the page and the error messages will be gone and your signature will be there!

The signature will only update once every 10 minutes to make it faster.

Spore Ladder

Download: Click here
Creator: SporeMania
Source: SporeMania

As you know, it’s really hard to make a Ladder with Spore :

• No possibility of making a save to be easy played by players in a given time, and which would be “secure” (where the player can’t use cheats or modify the settings).
• No possibility to play against each other online.

So, we have to innovate and do with what MAXIS and E.A. want to give us. What MAXIS and E.A. want to give us are :

• The Sporepoints (You win points each time you play a game, rate a creation, etc…)
• The Achievements
• The Gold, Silver and Bronze Trophies.

Therefore the ranking calculation of Sporemania’s Ladder will be very simple:

Each Achievement reached give 50 points to the player, to that are added the number of Sporepoints he has, 10 points for each Gold Trophy, 5 for each Silver Trophy, and 3 for each Bronze Trophy.

The formula is :
$Points_Ladder = ( $Nb_SporePoints );
$Points_Ladder += ( $Nb_Succes * 50 );
$Points_Ladder += ( $Nb_Gold_Trophy * 10 );
$Points_Ladder += ( $Nb_Silver_Trophy * 5 );
$Points_Ladder += ( $Nb_Bronze_Trophy * 3 );

But to be ranked on the SporeMania Ladder, you will have to fulfill some requirements :

• Having his Spore Account area completed in the profile with the exact name of your Spore Account (if there are any capital letters, then you have to place them too).
• Have been logged on SporeMania at least once in the past 30 days.

(This to only keep the active members, ’cause it would be useless to let someone be in the Top10 if he doesn’t come anymore for months or years.)

Your points will be updated when you’ll log on the website (limited to each 4 hours). To update your points more quickly (limited to each 10 minutes) click on “update my ranking” accessible in - Menu -> Ladder -> Update my ranking. (You’ll be returned on the website’s home page and your points will be updated at this time)

The Ladder’s ranking can be accessed here : http://forums.sporemania.com/?action=ladder. Or simply in Menu -> Ladder. Or else by clicking in the module “Ladder” which is displayed to the right of the forum.

What are the Ladders available? There are 5 rankings :

• The General Spore Ladder ranking, where all the players who have been logged in less than 30 days ago are listed.
• The Daily’s Ladder Top 10 ranking, where those who have earned the biggest amount of points today are listed.
• The Achievement Ladder Top 10 ranking, where those who have earned the biggest amount of Achievements today are listed.
• The Trophy’s Ladder Top 10 ranking, where those who have earned the biggest amount of Trophy points today are listed.
• The Sporepoints Ladder Top 10 ranking, where those who have earned the biggest amount of Sporepoints are listed.

( * For those who don’t know what a Ladder is, The Ladder is a ranking of the players according to their number of points, victories and such.)

By default, it shows the 50 most popular new creations, each for 5 seconds. If you wish to change this, click the Options button. The content is grabbed from the URL you give it.

Users are given 16 random creations: creatures, vehicles, UFOs, buildings, or a combination. Then, to play the game, they click on the better of two creations. For example, there are 16 in the first round, then 8 in the second, 4 in the semifinals, and 2 in the finals. The winner of a tournament gets two points, and the creation in second place gets 1 point. For each creation that receives points, the user receives one point. At most, each creation can recieve 2 points from each user, so getting second place and then first will only give the creation a single additional point.
