Generations PC Unleashed Porting - Dragon Road Demo

I REALLY don't want to beat a dead horse here, but I just did a bunch of testing (using Time Break for precision purposes), and could only recreate the homing-attack bug in Dragon Road. I tried as many homing-attacks on the chainsaw-sword-thing-wielding Egg Pawns from Rooftop Run Act 2 as possible, from several different heights/angles, and could not get the robot to hit me unfairly. However, doing the same thing in Dragon Road, I was able to get hit as discussed previously. Are you SURE there aren't ANY mistakes that you or a member of the team could have made that could be the source of this bug? At the very least, can someone ELSE confirm or deny the existence of this bug on Rooftop Run, with proof if possible?

Again, I deeply apologize for harping on this, but the bug has a noticeable effect when attempting speedruns.

 

The bug could possibly be framerate related - Either rooftop run or dragon road run better. Have you tried recreating the bug at a lower graphics setting where things might be a bit more equal?

 

I have to ask why the game freezes though? Or is it currently a secret?

 

Yep. I collected all the Red Rings and the game crashed on me as soon as I entered the hub.

EDIT: I should also mention that the Stage Image is completely messed up too.

 

Seems like it was a one-time freeze which sometimes happens whenever I'm playing a mod.

I believe I use 4:3 for my resolution.

 

Alright, hopefully someone can help me out here.

So I think I've done everything right. Sonic GMI seems to have done what it was supposed to. I boot up the game, and the hub world has Dragon Road. I enter the level, the loading screen even says Dragon Road. However, when the level starts, it's Speed Highway with Dragon Road's music. I'm not really sure how to fix this, any ideas?

 

Either that or you're missing the "bb" folder.

 

Ah! That would explain it. For some reason that folder didn't move over, just bb2 and bb3.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

 

Alright, so... I'm at another PC to try out on a better hardware then the first time I played.

The first thing I noticed was that the bombs, right at the start pathways at left from the ramp in the middle, were missing. I'm assuming that they were removed, since if I go through that direction I don't get hit also. Going foward a bit and my game crashed at the rail to take you to the location of the first red ring (I believe that everyone got at least this one, so no need to hide the location). I found it weird and tryied again... Crash, in the same location. So I decided to go on the lower path and surprisingly the game crashed at almost the same location. Somewhere around the second badnik.

I tried waiting a bit to see if it's a "time crash", like, you know, after a few seconds the game will crash. But that wasn't the point. Waited almost a minute and started running. Crashed in the same location.


So I'm assuming that either there is something wrong in this section, like I'm hitting an invisible "switch" that's suposed to do something like call up another camera or something or there is an object loading up badly. In either case, I'll try to reinstall Sonic Generations and the mod as well. Oh well, just though I should let you know.

Oh yeah, classic Sonic's stage works just fine.



Edit: Tryied reinstalling the mod first, as well with the SonicGMI and for some reason it worked just fine. Also the dashpads were missing on my previous runs, so aparently this glitch that occured with sorta "deleted" all these assets. Anyways, no harm no foul, I guess. I'll investigate it closely later on.

 

Figured out the issue. What happened is that I had an mod on (Classic Sonic Adventures) that I didn't knew actually since there has been a long time since I played SG in this PC. So the game was treating the stage as it was a classic Sonic stage, even if Modern Sonic was on it. At SonicGMI, I turned on the Classic Sonic Adventures and worked just fine.

 

Loving this mod... Excellent work!

I have two questions.

1. What can we expect from the final release as a whole? (if there's a plan so far...)

Example:

- Sonic Unleashed-themed White-Space hub world
- Windmill Isle (Act 2)
- Savannah Citadel
- Rooftop Run
- Dragon road
- Cool Edge
- Arid Sands
- Skyscraper Scamper (Empire City)
- Jungle Joyride.

2. Will there be any plans to replace (character swap) any characters from Unleashed into Generations?

Example:

- Omochao with Chip (Level Card & tutorials checkpoints)
- Sonic Unleashed townsfolk (Ex: Prof. Pickle) in front of stage gates instead of Sonic's friends (except of course Tails & Amy.)

 

Just making sure for confirmation.
Thank you for answering.

 

What, no Chip? Damn, I wanted some chocolate.

Mod runs fine on my system, sometimes better than the actual game. Haven't noticed any bugs except the occasional non replicable camera bug, and some slight collision issues in the hub world and night/Classic stage.

 

I forgot to come back and say this, but excellent work!

This mod is coming along very nicely and I like what you're doing with it. Dragon Road plays nicely and feels great in Generations, and the White World area for it looks great as well. I can't wait to see what else you guys are doing with it.
