Creator Clash

Download: Click here
Creator: Awesim
Source: The Sporums

I’ve (Awesim) been making a simple creature creation game designed to inspire creators who are ready for a challenge. The idea is to force you to make a creature using a specific list of parts. After you upload your creation, you get to see what others have made with the exact same parts list. Just unzip the file into any folder and run the CreatorClash.exe

(I’ve had some issues getting this to work on Vista – something to do with a re-distributable software update.)

SporeMaster v2.0

Download: Click here
Creator: Void
Source: SporeMods

Void at Sporemods has released a modding program for spore, in collaboration with others, called SporeMaster. The second version brings a whole new life to Spore modding with the possibilities to mod and create entirely new parts! Many of the bugs have been fixed since v1, however there may still have some bugs in the program so watch out

Key Features:

• Unpacking and packing of .package files, with automatic conversion of .prop files to and from .xml. files.xml is no longer necessary.
• NEW: Packing of .rw4 (RenderWare 4) model and texture files (from OGRE3D XML format and DDS format respectively) with packages, making part creation possible for the first time. Unpacking of these files is currently very limited. Part animations are not yet supported.
• XML property files are more user-friendly than in previous mod tools, using names instead of hashes where possible. NEW:XML files are order-independent.
• Full text indexing of .xml and .locale files in the unpacked package, to permit very fast incremental search. NEW:Search for keywords separated by spaces or “literal phrases”.
• Side-by-side comparison of file tree in Spore and the mod under development. One-click execution of WinMerge to see and edit changes in an individual file.
• Built in syntax highlighting editor.
• NEW: Image and model viewers.
• Tools for guessing the original names for hashes and for creating friendly aliases for hashes that can’t be guessed (or that were randomly generated by EA). The “Hash Guesser” tries more than 250 billion possible names for a given hash, providing you with a list of possible original names to choose from. When a new name is found the unpacked files are automatically updated.

SpView

Creator: Wes Howe
Source: Custom Sims 3

SpView is a mesh rendering program that can load Sims 2 GMDC format mesh files, as well as Spore >GMDL and .GMSH mesh files. The Sims 2 files can be extracted from the game, or custom content files using SimPE. The program includes a new format file extractor for Spore game files. The program itself does not edit or modify meshes or textures, just allows them to be combined, positioned and viewed.

Of course, a mesh would be pretty miserable looking (in this case, all white) without being colored or textured. SpView provides the capability, based on the underlying Ogre library code, to load any of a number of standard format image files (including PNG, JPG, TGA and DDS files) to be used in materials to paint the meshes with. It also has a tool to convert Spore .rast files to .DDS files, to allow direct support.
