Is there a Sonic '06 source code?

  1. I somewhat had the idea of "fixing" Sonic '06. I wanted to find the coding for Sonic '06 and make my own adjustments. I'd also like to see the code for Sonic Adventure, so I can try to make Sonic feel like he plays in the Adventure titles. I'd also like to clear out some missions, loading screens, and so on.

    I'd like to do a full-on modification to this game. Is there a way to find the source code and do this sort of thing?

    No. The only way you're getting that is if you break into Sega's headquarters and steal it.

    The closest we can come is disassembling (and sometimes decompiling, if it's a Windows game) the compiled code, which is not nearly as nice to look at.
     
  3. How would I be able to do that? There weren't any PC releases, but I've seen some people, like Melpontro and Mefiresu, hack the game and edit some features. I'd like to learn how to do something similar. If I were to look at the compiled code, would I be able to translate and/or edit it somehow?

    Wow, I didn't think I'd need to say this two times in one day.
     
  5. We want it fixed because it's (admittedly) the Sonic Team's final decent game. Plus, I thought it'd be a cool self project.

    Well, that's my twentieth post. Time to wait for approval.

    Can we talk about this instead?

    That engine looks great! I don't care if its replicating a shit game like 2006, those guys have some serious talent if they are able to do that much early in. I really hope this 2006 replication gets completed or at least get to a point where it can be open sourced.

    You... do know it's 2015, right? It's hard to argue that games like Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, and Sonic Generations have a large amount of quality over Sonic 06. Hell, even Sonic Lost World. No one needs Sonic 06 fixed, because we have better Sonic games to play that have come out both before and since.
     
  8. Are you fucking kidding me? Somehow the pile of horseshit that nearly KILLED THE FRANCHISE is decent? Are you honestly trying to troll here or are you that deluded?

    It's 2015. This dead horse has been beaten way to fucking much. It does not need to be "fixed" and it won't bloody be.

    + - Good luck with that doc   :specialed:

    Credit where credit is due, the progress they've made is impressive. But even if they were able to get the physics and controls to something approaching a respectable quality, there's only so much you can do when Kingdom Valley and Crisis City are the only decently designed levels.

    Though I do like the possibility of having a solid HD Adventure-style open source engine available. There's potential in that.

    But not '06. It should be acknowledged for being the catalyst that led to positive changes in the franchise that gave us Colors and Generations; not as a commendable (or even passable) game in its own right.

    This is not an idea topic; this is a topic asking about the existence of a publicly available Sonic '06 source code. If anything, it should have been posted in the Engineering/Reverse-Engineering Subforum.
