Sonic Adventure 2 DX

Wow, Jimmy's done a really great job on the Shadow model ^^

 

Yeah, this is looking pretty snazzy. I might have to reinstall SADX for this one.

Will there be any new level layouts?

 

Look at the first picture, Tweak.. I'd take that as a yes =P

 

Besides the hands, which I am sure can be fixed.

 

Level layouts (object placement) have/will be been changed. Level art has, obviously, been changed. Level models are rather annoying. I found them but whenever any of us have tried to edit them, it just disappears entirely. The game still runs, but not that model.
Windy 'n' ripply models:


Azure Blue World after I edited a model: (textures are from my own hack, so just ignore 'em)

The thing about this though is that if the model just diappears, you can't stand where it should have been. And that's odd considering you can't stand on new parts of an edited model either. In fact I think Jeztac did successfuly import a level model I edited once in the Windy Hill, Windy Valley. As I just said only the original part of the model was solid, the new bits were there but weren't solid.

I'm not part of this project, just filling in the gaps.

 

It's like the same deal with Sprites, mappings and collisions in a genesis game. Of course, the model is like the sprite, but without the collisions, You can't interact with it.

 

When you put it that way it makes perfect sense. I have no idea how the collisions would work though- whether they'd be seperate models or if the game does them in some other way. The more annoying thugh is that the game just won't load the edited stuff. But anyway, it'd be better to talk about this in another topic sometime.

 

That Shadow model looks very well done, better than the one I cooked up a few years ago. However, does his head "break" during cutscenes?

 

I'm not all that technial savvy, so forgive my naivity, but is there no possible way to map the mouth movements on to the Shadow model? It would probably require a lot of work, but is it not possible to create a 'hybrid' head that uses the Super Sonic / Shadow head as the basis, but map's Sonic's mouth animation and data on to it? Probably not, but I always wondered.
