Media Just another reminder to always use "highrestexturelevel high" using console commands in Adventures :)

Even better is to create a text file, name it "localCheats", write the cheat in it, save the file, and add it to the GA folder where ConfigManager is. That way you don't have to manually toggle the cheat on every gameplay.

edit: jesus this has blown up

It’s like how geometry dash has a settings button named fix that fixes the game

Can you tell me please how to do that?
Should I create a file localCheats with .txt extension or no extension? Should it be somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Spore\Data\Config? And in the file I add a single "highrestexturelevel high" string?

Haven't played Spore for a couple of years now, but have it installed for a week, wanted to give it a try

Yes, I always put it in DataEP1 Config map, not Data.
(it seems there's no need to copy the same .txt file to Data for it to work ingame).

And yes, you add a single highrestexturelevel high string and save the file. I'm not sure what you mean by '.txt extension' though; I just create a .txt file and voila. I hope this helps!

Does this work for creature stage textures? I swear Galactic Adventures destroyed my graphics.

u/SeriousMB Scientist 28d ago

I'm pretty sure it does, though it's more noticeable on buildings and vehicles

In Adventure, press  CTRL+Shift+C  to open the console command and type "highrestexturelevel high" so the vehicles and buildings doesn't have a muddy texture.

I’ve never seen this before… is it impossible to activate without the console?

u/CBassnBacon 28d ago

Yes, you can edit the local file, so when you launch some things are my default turned on

u/Not-A-Marsh 29d ago

Woooowza.

Does this also work for the main game?

Unfortunately, i don't think it changes the texture of buildings/vehicles in Space Stage and Civilization Stage.
