Sporeget v0.1-20231104

sporeget is a utility for retrieving API links corresponding to published Spore creations and saving them into .warc files with ArchiveTeam's wget-lua.

This tool is NOT associated with ArchiveTeam and should be used only for selective saves to private archives. You must turn off all proxies/VPN services before you launch the container and do not turn any of them on until you stop it.

This is an unofficial program which is not associated with Maxis or Electronic Arts.

How to use

You must use the latest version of Docker, which is available for download from the official site: https://www.docker.com.

1. Build the sporeget image:

   cd sporeget
   docker build -t spore-community/sporeget .

   This may take a while, up to 20 minutes.

2. Create your container:

   docker run -it --rm -v "*path/to/use*:/app/saves" spore-community/sporeget

   Replace *path/to/use* with the actual path you intend to use for the archives.

   Example:

   • for Windows: E:\my archive\spore
   • for Linux: /mnt/e/my archive/spore

3. Save!

   Sporeget must be launched at least with two arguments: a command and an argument for it.

   sporeget *command* *argument*

   user	Username	user 0KepOnline
