[plaigus1]

[Aquarius199]

Song name? This is awesome BTW.

[yoediof]

wow works for me dude

[xXThebestabest0770Xx]

Very cool! Spore doesn't let me download patch 5 so your tutorial is very great for me! But i want really to use asymmetry normaly....

But your video is great!

[ramson2011]

how do you use the patch?

[bachaun]

you have something for mac

[kill1696]

how do u do this with spore galactic adventures?!



[darkange904]

very usefull ty

[OeCakeVideos]

Dude, just download patch 5.

[nomis1125]

HOW DO I GET THE NEW PATCH DOWNLOADED????!!!!!!

[OeCakeVideos]

Just Google it, duh.

[GW4GTA]

spore wont let me log in to download patch 5!!! FREAKING CURSESSS!!!

[KitWarrior]

So I come by a year later and I see a patch finally enables asymmetry. I might take down these videos, but what's the word on the Mac edition? And here's this fellow who couldn't get the patch at the time of his post so... I'll come back in a year and reconsider. Everyone else go patch!

[Lunemis]

lol i made a flying arm o.o

[moritz2208]

you must only press A !!.... Ihr müsst nur A drücken -.-

[Riotmaker888]

@wolfcatdogs, yeah...NOW you can, but this video was probably posted before the new patch.

[wolfcatdogs]

um...you can always just hold down the A key and drag off the limb that you don't want...

[ELITEayon62]

hay just real quick queastin will this new update work for steam

[MrSpore101]

YAY! Maxis made a patch where we can just hold A over a [art to make it assymetric! Now we don't have to watch this!

*Watches another video*

[freezingscyte]

patch?

where? with an expansion pack?

or where to download the patch?

[MrSpore101]

@freezingscyte: It's Patch 5, and it doesn't have an expansion pack.

[SuperGinger94]

This is an old video before Maxis released the asymmetrical patch.

You can just hold the A key over a part and click now.

[david500o9]

is this spore GA because if it is can u tell me how to download it, cause iu have it downloaded but

1. its on my spore original not G.A.

2. i cant get it to work on sporee G.A

3.when i walk, my creature doesnt walk, his lims dont move

4.how do i get it to work on G.A.?

PLZ HELP!!!!

[1fezoj]

i had the same problem just deleat all spore afileated files and reinstall all off your games back onyour computer

and it should work

[Texter145]

OH YEAH I WIN!

[LawlFrank]

Hey nevermind, just hold down the A key lol thanks alot Snowglobedragon295

[LawlFrank]

Uhm... Everytime I try to do asymmetry spore just crashes... how can that be helped?

[zigaton40]

Holy crap! It works!

[LostDem0n]

did you watch the video?

[druidelf123]

yah i like grandpeep's creations!

[Snowglobedragon295]

Yes you could do all of this or jusyt hold down the A key when grabbing a part.

[flinkelinks]

do you have a mac?

[WindstormWorks]

What everyone talking about patch five doesn't realize is that it isn't out yet for mac users. So I'm glad this vid is still here, it's an excellent tutorial and my only way to make asymmetric creatures atm XD

[hypertyper100]

Sporeguy456 i hav the exact same problem n i dont know how 2 fix it but that only happens when i play galactic adventures, the option 2 play that doesn't show :( its so annoying

[ethanizabunny]

do u have a mac????

[Regiald]

Thanks man! I made an awesome creature thanks to you!

[thadaran]

there's a patch now for it, patch 5 i think. all you need to do is press A to get Asymmetry

[nickolai148]

???

[Jackjoecleo]

In the 5. pathc you must only press A

[OmegaTrooper1]

this doesnt work for me when i try it it all the limb does is point up

[Zecoatl]

bwahaha hackers and glitchers,

it's a patch now so it's nothing special.

[sithlord717]

look at the post date

[animalluver102]

Wen u download the patch and ur on the creature creator hold A and drag something that has two of them but that very thing cannot be symetrical again and if u need more info just look at the spore website

[rednotdead500]

You dont need a mod any more, in patch 5 the've added asymmetry, just select the part you want and hold A until a face comes up, that means the parts asymmetrical now and you can move it and the other part separetly.

[holyboddy]

i downloaded it but how can i make them asymetric?

[lolinonusos]

if u have patch 5

[zolo1243]

Does this work with 1.04?

[pasadema1]

I can get it to work however I cannot save...

[MattPlambeck]

i cant drop my arm onto my body in the end help ???

[XPxanderXP]

Rofl nvm I already got it working XD

Thank you very much for the video ^^

[MattPlambeck]

really how do you get it to work i having same problem you have now

[XPxanderXP]

Nice video but I have got a problem. When you must hit ctrl key to take the assymmetric limb back to the body. It dost work there T.T Can somebody help me please?

[MattPlambeck]

lol dw i got it thats hilarios just when i give up! :)

[SqueeHNB]

I can't get this to work as I get to the part where you must enlarge the spine the limbs just come together at one part but keep both sides symmetric

[beanhead159]

yeah 'Toggle Symmetry'

[godziboy1993]

I really wanted to make Devastator from Transformers 2 using this lol. I wish Maxis would do something like this. It has been requested many times on the Spore message board.

[MagicMuffin63]

It's impossible to save.

[EclipseJewel]

its not...

[yazzaru]

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it realy works!!

[cowdog79]

you know theres a much better but longe way to do this. way better at sporebase.

[ArdosoS]

Just download RamonNZ's editor hack. There is an "asymmetry" button.

[Cybertoco]

Could you tell me if it works in the Captain Outfitter?

[MattPlambeck]

does it actually work and if so does it cost more complexity?

[Kingofeurope]

Awesome! thank you!

[sheep334]

why doesn't maxis just make an update for asymmetric limbs?

[helrazorspartan]

@sheep334 yeah

[VaygrX]

@sheep334 They already made a patch for it

[BIONICLE113]

It dosent let me save it

[sporeaddict36987]

Does there have to be a hand or foot..?

[Safounox]

How do you enlarge the body, I tryed with the mollet of my mouse but it dosen't work, I become crazy O.o

[itarfer]

click a section and use the up and down buttons.

[EVICERATIONxIMMINENT]

im doing everything you say and its not working

[hekyah]

There is no cyborg pack unless u go to EA and begg for one and if ur luckey u will get 1 but its really expensive...

Not! haha there isnt one anyway uve been punked!

[Zovex11]

Can you get banned for doing this? Or is it ok?

[aandre311]

of course its ok he is just giving tips

[Skyler827]

This video crashed both my Firefox and my Google chrome browsers at about 1/2-2/3rd of the way through twice each.

If I got to see the rest, it would probablly be great (no rating)

[Sjokkis13]

nope.. you can have the full game and still make the creatures. but the "demo" is onlt making creatures

[Zephon2009]

it works now.

[Zephon2009]

this video does not load on my computer!! :(

[burningearphones]

i know there are 3 versions of spore

1. Being the creature creator

2. Being the actual game with space and everything

3. the additional body parts

Do you need 1. to create things in 2. or what? because i dont get it

[Vladdyboy]

#1 comes with #2 (within the full version of the game)

They only released a 10$ Creature Creator (#1) 4 months before the actual game was released, like a "demo".

and #3 is an expansion pack, it costs 20$ and you get 10 new parts including eyes, don't buy it, its a waste.

[skystikrstudios]

What's the name of the song?

[danny123451]

Is it possible to have two different heads on 1 set of limbs?

[jaredglasgow3]

Thanks dude I was wandering how others were doing that

[tr9000]

Thank you XD!! your Guide is amazing, I'm gonna make a whole bunch of strange asymmetrical spores.

[daddyleon]

ohhhhhhhhhh That's how!!

Genius!

[CCDDR]

hardcore

[ObiCock]

WOW!!! These video is very very helpfull!!!!^^

[Zookoala]

if i get the trial version, will I be able to do the normal spore game?

[number1woofer]

no.

[lukerout]

i have no idea what im doing wrong but every time i hold the ctrl button and try to remove it from the garb limb it just extends it and never leaves it

[Revrant]

Same here, the game doesn't recognize Ctrl for me.

[duckim2]

I was having the same problem aswell, but then i figured out that you hold control while moving the limb inbetween two joints, not moving the joint itself.

[siralacarte]

you have to hold the limb in between two balls, then you'll grab it (if holding ctrl)

[Cryosaur]

Thank you. That's what I was missing-- I kept grabbing it on the shoulder where the shoulder ball of the desired asymmetric arm was the same as the wrist ball of the "junk arm".

[Tonyant26]

i screwed up.he know has a floating arm(check responses)

[zieniman]

I did it but I can't save it

[JPRHPros]

It didn't work. Whenever i go to press ctrl and take the part of the limb off I want, it won't come away.

[JPRHPros]

Actually screw that it did work I just did it wrong

[Minisshman]

I love your spore guides thank you so much!!!

I used it for feet to lol check out my creatures

The_blob11

[Mastermindz0r]

So basically, it's a bug abuse. Hope they don't fix it :/

[mooxim]

I didn'y even know about holding control. If you get bored and start reading the comments, the vids gets to the point around 3.22

[Hungryturtlez]

So it IS possible to make and play as grox then?

Or do they have their own parts or something...

[tarantulakid]

They have robotic parts that you can't get

[Marswarrior117]

I cant get the part were you take the arm off the junk limb. When i hold ctrl it still wont come off the junk limb :(((( look at my video response...

[ilandman11]

i cant get it to work at the part where i quickly expand... i think im doing sumthign wrong do you use mouse wheel to expand?

[amenhotep122]

AWSOME!!! =D

[crazyjackaljones]

Nice tip. Next time though in a tutorial video, don't waste the watchers time by spending minutes on tweaking points. For tutorial videos, just use a creation you will dump immediately after or roll back to the start for.

[SupineDragon]

^^^ that. Or you could fast-forward through the tweaking part. For those watching, the good part starts around 3:20.

[Stikmentor]

Hmm got it to work first time, but never since! :\ I'd like there to be an easier way lol XD

[darkgodmaster]

Nice creature.

I personaly like the mod Asymmetry mod because it is just a lot faster and easier.

And it works in all the editors :)

*whisper* Just try my video's *whisper

[AngilasGuy]

When I hold ctrl to move the limb onto the body, it won't detatch, all it does is move the junk limb with it, no matter how close I drag it to the body.

Halp!?

[TheNilvarg]

This isn't working. When I expand the vertebra, the arms join at the elbow in front of the creature.

I'll try someone else's tutorial.

[TheNilvarg]

And yes, the shoulders were seperate, not merged.

[TheNilvarg]

Sorry to make so many comments.

Turns out I was starting with the spine too thin, but thickening it does not make it work completely.

I get the same problem a previous commenter mentioned. The limb flashes red for just a split second, but stays there.

I'm not scrolling too slowly. I'm even holding the mouse with one hand and ramming my finger across the scroll wheel at light speed... still not working.

[shadowstudios9]

Humm i can do it but it wont save my creation.....

[djassmaster]

buying cities is easy, u just have to start trading w/ them first. Send more trade vehicles to speed up the process. religious takevers I didn't get but I could make cities harder to buy if I tried an unsuccessful religious takeover.

[elcko123]

I just took over all the cities i could with a fleet of boats then once i got planes every city fell :D MWUHAHHHAHAHAH1!!!

[apinankarva]

Nice, thanks alot for the vid.

[thatwassolastweek1]

who found it hard to religiously take over a city and i never even had a chance to buy a city and once again another complaint why have they taken out some good bits like swimming and even blood. hope not to sound like a goth but its too kiddy and i want a lot more grit like exploding creature when putting on planets and being able to drag dead bodies you have to add an arm bit to put hands on it as well. i reckon it was better in the early vids but don't get me wrong its a good game

[ozarkamax]

gonna suck if this is identified as a bug and patched out.

[eraseragenda]

thanks a million

[Truthiness231]

Incredibly helpful; thanks.

Now if only someone can find a way to do it in the other editors. If anyone can do this with the spacecraft editor I'd be more than grateful, as I want some asymmetrical details on it.

Shame it wasn't a feature. I guess they just wanted to keep it super easy, as that was what they were going for (and they nailed it, I'll give Maxis that).

[Tha3l]

*nods*

would've been better if there was the possibility to choose whether one wants asymetrical creatures or not^^

btw, do you possibly know how to create 'pets'? [seperate armes for example ... ]

[Truthiness231]

Hopefully in the first patch or expansion they'll take care of that.

On pets: in tribal stage, using your social tool, click on any animal you want to take as a pet with a tribesman and then he'll be tame and go back to your village. If anything attacks your city, he'll run out of his pen and fight until death. In space stage, all you have to do is abduct something and safely drop them off in one of your colonies. They freak out for a bit, but soon come across someone who'll calm them down. ^.^

[isityourself]

Hi, love the creatures.

Question though, when I expand the spine, the sell animation appears with the red highlight, and "Sell for 0" appears, but nothing disappears. Any dsuggestions?

[KitWarrior]

Most likely it's disappearing very briefly before reappearing. It takes a little practice, but if you're able to see that red flash, you've almost got it. Try just one strong flick of the mouse wheel.

[hem5001]

it dident work for me, then after trying over and over agane i got it :)

i dident grab a jount to but it back on the body, i grabed the hole arm

it confused me, but i GOTZ IT, YAY!!!

[ross266]

doesnt work for me at all. the area i connect the part to never expands to a point where the limb dissappears

[KitWarrior]

One possibility is that the junk limb you placed on the spine merged its shoulders into one joint. Although thin, the spine must still be wide enough for the shoulders to be separate joints.

[hem5001]

YAAAAAAAAAAAY, THATS COOL

[skepticali62]

sweet tutorials buddy

[Eqvaliser]

This is pre patch right ?

[KitWarrior]

Videos are prepatch, but I just tested from start to finish (shared a test creature on Sporepedia) with the patch and it all still works.

[demoniclord13]

plz tell me wat im doing wrong, every time i try to ctrl drag the limb i want from the trash limb it just keeps moving around =(

[Ptrrrrrrrr]

Same here. The detaching doesn't work.

[shazarava1]

Press control, then click the area between the shoulder of the arm you want to add to the creature, and it should detach.

[KitWarrior]

Yes, the Ctrl key step is the important one. An additional step that helps is to move the end joint of the junk limb inward (minute 3:50) prior to attaching the real limb. That allows you to skip a lot of the resizing (hopefully all of it).

[demoniclord13]

yeah i got it to work, but im working on a hunter from halo so i need 2 asymetric limbs =P nd the second 1 doesnt seem to work

[varnonzero]

I'm having trouble with this once... When I try to reatach the limb to the proper spot, it just makes two symetrical limbs. All the other asymetrical tricks work... I even got an asymetrical floating eye... But I can't get this to work. Suggestions?

[shazarava1]

Well, you can't move the limb once it's attatched to the creatures body, so that's why the vid says to position it before you attach it.

[KitWarrior]

Using the Ctrl key separation is crucial here. You must separate the asymmetrical limb from the junk limb properly and once you place it back on the body, it can't be altered. Minute 5:00 shows this important step.

[absol13]

WOW!

I must try this.

[seano1313]

I just used your technique and it worked great... check out my creature on sporepedia, his names budzo by seancarr13

[Infidel775]

...you are awesome.
