I think the creature png is used as a "checksum" to get the real creature data from the server. So when you drag a creature image into the spore editor, it will send the image to the server, which in turn will lookup the creature data and send it back.<BR/><BR/>I didn't verify this, but its about the only thing I can imagine, because I've used a png chunk viewer, and there is simply no space left besides the image pixels to store additional data.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
