Soned1/2 questions

You're not very clear.

 

Open the Docs folder located in the folder where SonED is found. Wow. There are README files in there...

 

If you don't understand, you aren't ready to use it. Try SonED .50b first -- I think it's more on your level.

Or fuck your ROM with ESE. You'd call that a nice hack.

 

Perhaps not the kindest way of putting it, but in the end the previous posts are right. If you are not intuitive enough to understand the documentation, then you will not be able to properly use the tool no matter who tells you how to do it.

The documentation is there to tell you how to do it. RTFM.

 

C:\SONED\DOCS\OMG YOU FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!

Of course...that may not be your drive layout...let alone, your drive letter. And I wouldn't consider ESE dense since I use it to get some jobs done quickly.

EDIT: See above.

 

Kindly tell me exactly where it says it's supposed edit S3&K.

 

The current version of SonED2 only supports editng Sonic 1 or Sonic 2. This is evidenced by the "Project Files.txt" file. Read:

The first line in any "Project File" is always the project type value.
Valid type values are as listed:

1 - Sonic 1 Level/Tile/Object Editing Project
2 - Sonic 2 Level/Tile/Object Editing Project


These are the only two available types. To be fair, it would appear that the Hacking CulT description may need to be updated, but the answer did indeed lie in the documentation.

 

Hacking-cult is incorrect. Sorta.

It can edit level art, mappings, layout of Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic CD. You have to extract all the data and create the project files yourself. It cannot, however, edit the object layout.

 

Instead of making a new unneccesary thread I have a question about Soned2, At present I cant download it from Stealths website, can someone post me a download link? im currently having a play with Sonic 2 and Sonic 2 BETA as im thinking about making a simple level layout hack plus enabling Hidden Palace.

This is why SonED is better than Lunar Magic. Any shitwad can pick up Lunar Magic and make a shitty hack while jacking off to FuSoYa, but it takes skill to make a Sonic hack of any kind, let alone a good one.

 

I think allowing less technical people but more artistic people the chance to make a Sonic hack is better than only allowing techie people, even with the possible cost of the tool being abused.

In any case, ESE easily allows people to butcher the games, by creating terrible palettes etc. but rarely do people do that.

 

Ah, but Quickman, just because someone made a "For Big Dumb Idiots" level editor, doesn't mean good hacks can exist (example: Odyssey, being made by BMF, uses a shitload of ASM hacks to add in things such as a ropeway level and a custom boss), and just because someone made a "techie-only" level editor, doesn't mean shitty hacks can't exist (example: all those halfassed hacks of Sonic 1/2 that have only new level names and palletes)
