10:19.27TesearHey, anyone here?
10:19.31SignpostMarvboo
10:19.35SignpostMarvwhatsup ?
10:19.55TesearJust got a question about Spore :)
10:20.12TesearI'm about to start a new game and I finally hunted down my friends names
10:20.17TesearThe whole Theme thing...
10:20.29TesearIf I select No Theme, will I only get Maxis creatures?
10:20.45SignpostMarvyou'll get a variety of stuff
10:20.49SignpostMarvHowever,
10:21.12SignpostMarvOptions > Settings > Online Settings : Online Options - Buddy Content Only
10:21.33TesearI did that
10:21.38SignpostMarvI imagine if you enable that option, and set the theme to no theme, you'll get a mix of maxis content and buddy content
10:21.43TesearI was just worries I wouldnt see any of their things if I selected no theme
10:21.52TesearWe all just got the game, so we dont have a whole lot
10:22.03Tesearso If I did a theme with say...my stuff or one of theirs, there wouldnt be much
10:22.07SignpostMarvI've seen quite a few of my friends stuff with no theme selected
10:22.13Tesearbut together there is plenty

15:37.59Alalieu"eulalia@freecode/coder/eulalia"
15:38.21SignpostMarv??
15:38.39AlalieuNvm.
15:38.50AlalieuI'm designing a website for a group called Freecode.
15:39.11AlalieuWow. Ajax recent changes rock.
15:40.15SignpostMarvfreecode.no ?
15:41.04AlalieuNo,
15:41.09Alalieuthey don't have a site yet.
15:41.47SignpostMarvwill poke you with a sharp stick if you use xhtml transitional
15:42.16AlalieuI hate xhtml.
15:42.26SPARTAN-984i r use PJIRC
15:42.48SignpostMarvwhat's wrong with xhtml ?
15:43.26AlalieuDunno, I guess that it's just because I didn't take the time to learn it :p
15:44.09SignpostMarvso when you say you're designing the site, what're you using ?
15:44.35Alalieuhtml, css, javascript.
15:44.41AlalieuSo far, only html.
15:44.49AlalieuI just started around midnight last night.
15:45.14SignpostMarvswitch to xhtml
15:45.19SignpostMarvbugger all difference
15:45.25SignpostMarvexcept it makes sure you code properly
15:48.18SignpostMarvby preventing the use of tag soup
15:48.36AlalieuPfft.
15:49.16AlalieuSignpostMarv: http://wikia.com/wiki/User:Eulalia459678/global.js
15:51.57SignpostMarvI has thought
15:52.13SignpostMarvfeature request articles (e.g. stuff peeps want to see in spore)
15:52.17SignpostMarvfiction or concept ?
15:52.30SignpostMarv^i think there's a concept namespace lying around isn't there ?
15:52.31AlalieuUhh...*thinks*
15:52.37AlalieuNo,
15:52.48Alalieubut a lot of mainspace pages are titled Concept:
15:52.57SignpostMarvhow many ?
15:58.10AlalieuWell, I'm not5 sure how many now, since uberfuzzy deleted the redirects.
16:00.09SignpostMarvslightly related topic, are you much good with inkscape ?
16:00.12Alalieuis nervous
16:00.16AlalieuNever tried it
16:00.54SignpostMarvI'm wanting to do some geekery with SVG version of UI icons
16:01.02SignpostMarvbut it's going to take a while to do by myself
16:01.42AlalieuI could try it
16:02.07SignpostMarvhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Social-Inventory.svg
16:02.25SignpostMarvyou want to give Weapon-Inventory a try ?
16:02.42SignpostMarv^btw, that was hand-coded, except for the pointy bit of the speech bubble
16:03.17AlalieuNice :)
16:03.23Alalieugoes to look at inkscape
16:03.25SignpostMarvI'm going to poke around EA's website to find a contact address to ask for perms to use icons etc.
16:06.44SignpostMarvsending an email to Melissa Ojeda, PR contact person for EA Games to ask about the use of the fansite kit assets and UI elements (icons, achievement images etc.) on the Spore Wikia
16:07.23AlalieuGood luck.
16:08.18SignpostMarvsetting "Spore Wikia" as the company :-P

18:48.51Groovealrighty, back now
18:49.22Grooveso, anyone still around that can lend a hand?
18:50.29Eulalia|BusyHai
18:51.28Groovehey, any idea what my error is about? i've gotten an identical error from the creature creator in the past
18:51.43SignpostMarvhas you checked EA's support portal thing ?
18:52.22Groovewhere is that at?
18:52.27Grooveand no, i haven't haha
18:53.03SignpostMarvhttp://easpore.custhelp.com/
18:54.29Groovei'm taking a look right now, one sec
18:56.12Groovenope, not seeing anything on it
18:57.07SignpostMarvdone th eusual driver upgrade stuff ?
18:57.35Groovewell, no, but i'm on a mac, so i don't really have to worry about drivers
18:57.49Groovesince they more or less update themselves
18:57.56Groovewithout user interaction
18:58.01SignpostMarv:-P
18:58.31Groovehaha
18:58.53Grooveand it worked fine until i turned on my computer this morning
19:00.19Grooveand i hear reinstalling is useless for this error
19:00.28Groovejust wastes an install...grrr...
19:00.35SignpostMarvwait till the Mac patch gets released ?
19:00.35Eulalia|BusyHow long had you had Spore?
19:00.41SignpostMarvlast I checked,
19:00.44Eulalia|Busyi.e. how long had it been working?
19:00.47SignpostMarvre-installing didn't waste an install credit
19:00.53Groove1: the mac patch /was/ released
19:01.07Grooveit was working with the patch installed for 2 days
19:01.20Groovewith literally no problems, crashes, bugs, anything whatsoever
19:01.56Grooveone sec, lemme give you the terminal output of running cider
19:02.12Groovewhich is how Spore is started
19:02.33Grooveon mac, that is, since it's non-native, and uses cider to run the windows version :P
19:03.00SignpostMarvwhut ?
19:03.56Groovehttp://www.transgaming.com/
19:04.03Grooveis the company that made the mac port
19:04.30Groovebut instead of making it natively for mac, they used a buggy piece of software called cider that lets you run windows programs on mac
19:05.38Groovehere's the direct terminal output
19:05.39Groovehttp://pastie.org/280945
19:05.56Grooveand, just so you know, most of that appears even when the game actually works xD
