The updated PDF Tutorial based off of this guide: https://emd4600.github.io/Spore-ModAPI/_installation.html
First have a working version of SPORE + GALACTIC ADVENTURES (GoG preferably because it works straight out of the box)
Then install the Spore Mod API Launcher Kit: https://davoonline.com/sporemodder/rob55rod/ModAPI/Public/
Next install Visual Studio (NOT Visual Studio Code): https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/
When installing it for the first time it will give you a bunch of options.
Select these options:
• Desktop development with C++
• (Optional) Game development with C++.
Then install SporeModAPI addons for Visual Studio: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=emd.modapisdk
Next get Github Desktop, and (Optionally) create a Github Account: https://desktop.github.com/download/
Optionally if you wish to create .package mods with SporemodderFX
• First install the Java 11 binaries from Microsoft: https://aka.ms/download-jdk/microsoft-jdk-21-windows-x64.msi
• Then download SPOREMODDERFX Itself https://emd4600.github.io/SporeModder-FX/
Now first we go to github and pull https://github.com/emd4600/Spore-ModAPI.git
We go into the projects folder and make sure everything is fine and dandy.
We then create a new project.
