I've found a bug, if I start the SSC (full version) while the EA Download Manager is running, the SSC starts and crashes back to the desktop when it reaches the "EA" splash screen. Quitting the Download Manager solves the problem. Weird. Running XP Home SP2 btw.

My creations so far. Bobosaurus was made by my sister. Billosaurus and Amadillodan were made by my Mum, which shows how easy it is to use. :)

The EU version of Spore.com is broken. It says it's updated things when it hasn't. :-/

Does it not type a letter at all? Because some mac keyboards have the @ and the " in opposite places (from a windows point of view). I'm guessing its probably not that because I'm sure your aware of that but just thought I'd try and help.

I'm perfectly aware of the layout of my keyboard. I think the character is blocked in some way. If I copy and paste, it only gives the part of the e-mail before the @ and that's all.

Have you tried pressing other keys to find it? Sounds like the keyboard setting in Spore is differing to your actual keyboard layout. Otherwise... no clue. :-/
Every other key is displayed as it should (except for the apple symbol (option+1). that gives a square with a ? in it)

EDIT: option and ` seemed to do it. Strange.

This is so much fun :D Do you have to get an EA account to send your creations to other people?

You don't need one to post them here, but to send them to the Spore server (for eventual downloading to the game) you'll need a "Spore" account (it's just an EA account, idky they call it a Spore account).

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
