So err, I could get the jar downloaded and stuck in the (I hope) right place, and it opens up nicely and it lets me play around with ... very little.
I can mess around with a few basic models, but it seems like I'm missing out on 90+% of the files it should be able to open. Any hints? Hints to what sort of specific info would make it easier to figure out my problem would also be nice.
While I can't get it to work, would anyone be willing to snap a few screenshots of a violet knight with:
Skolver Cap
Vitasuit Deluxe
Royal Jelly Shield
Cold Iron Vanquisher
Much appreciated if anyone's willing. Pose doesn't matter, I just wanna see the pieces together. :o

Someone reading my "blog" :3 \o/! Hm ... wait ... throwing shinies at me? In case you are mailing my char: don't I use this account for forum postings only (I am a bit paranoid and really don't want my knight to be associated with this software. Among other things, I don't want to get fanmail/support tells, etc. while in the clockworks).
@Urbam
"What it mean? what can i make to this thing work? T.T"
First time, I see this. SpiralSpy really does little more than starting a new Java virtual machine from scratch to load the modelviewer in it (I need to do this because Clyde depends on LWGL which depends on some native code, so cannot easily load into an already running JVM). My best guess would be to reinstall java.

Thankoos to both Rangerwill and Happyapathy, that actually looks nicer than I thought it would have. :D
And @Happyapathy in particular, no, I hadn't forgotten, I just figured you'd seemed busy lately and didn't wanna bother you. :o
Also, @bonusimage, I think that shiny actually was in the game (maybe during beta?) and got taken out. The wiki has mentions of several monsters like it. :) Kind of like ye olde Tortodrone.

Is there a quick way to recreate my character in Spiral Spy?
A few days ago I finally gave Spiral Spy a try. As an experiment, I tried to recreate my character with it. Then I found out it wasn't too easy because I have to guess which file has the data for my equipment. e.g. I wear Dragon Scale Set and I couldn't find which data files correspond to the helmet and armor.
I'm wondering if there is an easy way to do this? e.g. I can specify I am wearing Dragon Scale Helm and Dragon Scale Armor, and my color is red. Then Spiral Spy will automatically combine the right files for me?
If not, would this be a feasible feature request in future releases? Thank you.

With the new added features to the AH it gets rid of the point of Spiral Spy.
Now you can preview items in the AH. Someone is selling what you need so just click on it then press preview, you can even view more then 1 item on you at a time.

You just put it in the main spiral directory with all the other files - on load the program looks into the sub folders to set itself up - which is why it needs to be placed relative to them.

Looked at it and have a few comments/suggestions.
It's a bit glitchy, as I'm able to add stuff in ways they shouldn't attach, or add helmets/armor as weapons.
I would recommend making this user friendly if you want to make a tool for sharing. Players don't have to see all that information, or play with all those settings. You could just create a few simple combo boxes that show lists of all the information it found, and maybe even title them with their in game item names if that information is available.
Another simple thing is if you can find a way around having to have this program be put in the SK folder. Maybe point to expected locations, and if at worst, prompt the user to point to it (or move the file there if you don't have access to store settings).
The color choices would be better as an actual color slider like how it's presented in the game. A small thing yes, but it's quick to understand a color by seeing it than reading it's name, or having to guess around if you don't know the more artsy color names for the colors the game makers use.
It could gain a lot from having it's controls simplified.
Also, depending on what you can do, and what's available to you, it might be more popular if it could be integrated into your site, instead of a download.

By default the MacOS Finder
By default the MacOS Finder won't search in system directories like ~/Library where the SK data is usually stored. In recent versions the ~/Library folder will also be hidden, so you'll need to navigate to it manually (cmd-shift-G in Finder will pull up a "go to folder" box, just type in ~/Library and hit return).

@Shisho

Thats neither bug nor feature, but the intended behavior.
I would recommend making this user friendly if you want to make a tool for sharing. Players don't have to see all that information, or play with all those settings. You could just create a few simple combo boxes that show lists of all the information it found, and maybe even title them with their in game item names if that information is available.
While I do agree, that a lot could be done in terms of userfriendlyness, I do not quite see the point of stripping SpiralSpy down to a point where it essentially becomes the game client.
Another simple thing is if you can find a way around having to have this program be put in the SK folder. Maybe point to expected locations, and if at worst, prompt the user to point to it (or move the file there if you don't have access to store settings).
SpiralSpy does not actually need to sit inside the game folder (from a technical point of view), but, of course, it needs access to the game files. I could most certainly come up with a startup dialog that asks you for the directory (I did that once with ScenePainter. The result was rather abysmal. Look through this thread, the number #1 support question is: I cannot find my game folder. I have serious doubts that starting with a filechooser that asks for a directory (instead of a file!) would make stuff any easier.
The color choices would be better as an actual color slider like how it's presented in the game. A small thing yes, but it's quick to understand a color by seeing it than reading it's name, or having to guess around if you don't know the more artsy color names for the colors the game makers use.
That would, indeed, be very nice, as would be having the colors sorted by alphabet. Unfortunately, that's OOO code and I can do little about it.
Also, depending on what you can do, and what's available to you, it might be more popular if it could be integrated into your site, instead of a download.
I'd love to integrate SpiralSpy into my website, but unfortunately, that neither technically nor legally possible. Your webbrowser cannot simply display 3D graphics as if they were images and in order to provide the graphics as images, I'd have to put the game on my webserver, which does not have a graphics board and therefore would have a rough time rendering models. Also, I do not want to stretch OOO's patience with me over copyright questions, etc.
(they are already chewing on a support request, I filed last week).

@Michiroo
That's 'cuz the game doesn't have textures for those helmets. The helmets are textured in-game by the game.
So to actually make the helmet, you'll have to find the right color combination, something which I have yet to do myself.

Stuff can sometimes have weird and/or unexpected names. Most gear is built by simply remixing/reassembling/reskinning gear pieces (that's part of the reason, why it's next to impossible to come up with an intuitive UI for spiralspy). I think, the emberbreaks are a different skin option for what the Kozma(?) wears. Could be wrong though, too lazy to dig around now.
@Dazkid
Strange, from the screenshot, it looks like the right directorty. Check the "code" folder for a file called "projectx-pcode.jar". You get that error message whenever the file does not exist. If it does not exist (for whatever reason) and you are sure that your SK installation is otherwise intact, simply create a file by that name. Contents don't matter, it just needs to be there for the test to pass.

Make sure, you actually start Java in that directory. Chances are, your execution path points to your homedir (note: I am not a windows user, so I'm clueless about changing it).
