Sonic Adventure 2 BATTLE PC

I'll post it here once, since the whole Internet can see this subforum.

SA2 on PC != Easy ticket to hacking. Generations was blown wide open because of how clean and organized its code was written, allowing it to be easily interpreted and altered. Seriously, editing the physics in the game is as easy as changing a value.

SA2, however, doesn't enjoy that luxury. Anyone who's looked at the file structure for SA2 will see how much of a jumble the code is. It's quite daunting to look at, never mind interpret.

Better example: MainMemory is the resident expert here of SA1 hacking. In the 14 years SA1 (less since the first PC release) the he's only managed to begin getting his program for editing the game running recently. And it's nowhere near perfect. SA2 is a more complicatedly coded game than SA1.

Unless all you people looking for mods really mean trying to model swap your fan characters in than any sort of actual meaningful mods (and you likely all are.) Even then, looking at the Gamecube edits made, Super Sonic/Super Shadow model swaps are all that's been attained.

 

How many of those 14 years were with people actively reverse engineering the game? And I haven't "only managed to begin getting his program for editing the game running recently", I'm working on getting the second generation of tools up to feature parity with the first generation. Level and model editors have been out for like a year now. Granted, SA2 is more complex, and I'm not sure how I'll get character model editing to work, or if I'll figure out the model format for everything else, but I do already have the knowledge from SADX and the little bit I've looked into SA2DC.

And how exactly does one determine code quality by looking at the file structure?

 

Hahahahahaha this shitass actually thinks 2560*1440 is cool. Call me when you get 3360*2100 bitch.

 

HAHAHAHAHA I'm loling at your avatar & signature, polygon jim HAHAHA. Jesus HAHAHA.

Anyway! I liked this port, could have been better in a lot of ways but not bad.



Their worst mistake was not upscaling the textures with a nice interpolation algorithm (for example: the Kernel regression method).

 

So I was playing the story and got to Big Ass Stone Robot, and then this happened.

 

Don't buy it on Steam, it's over priced.

Buy it on Green Man Gaming for $8.95, or use the discount code (GMG20-1FYLZ-EDG8R) to bring it down to $7.16. Code also works on the pointless SA2B DLC, which is also available. Just click here, click on the link on the top ten best sellers, click "buy now", then use the discount code.

It gives you a key that activates on Steam, btw.

I had $2.50 store credit, and just bought the game for $4.66. Good times.


edit: I'm tempted to buy the stupid DLC too. The code brings it down to $2.40. Does it really do anything?

 

CHao Karate is the best feature ahha it seems, and err... I bought it on Steam for $7,20 and the DLC is $2,45 to me (but that is the conversion from BRL to US$, I guess they have discount prices for countries with devalued currencies...)

 

You can't get all 180 emblems without the DLC.

 

Anyone else having sound issues like this?



Aquatic Mine was about to drive me insane the whole time. :v:

 

sounds to me like somebody moved the mines under a lake or an ocean.

 

I had that problem too, yes. I half wondered whether it was in the original game and I somehow didn't notice! :v:

 

That happens to me too on xbox! And like Graxer said, I wondered if was like that in the original

 

One Gene powers up his Dreamcast and Gamecube later...

Yep. It's nearly identical. It's just a bit louder here, but it isn't unnoticeable either.

 

You have to follow these instructions-

Worked perfectly for me, I'm using a Logitech Dual Action gamepad. The trick is not using the launcher software after manually setting the option in the text document. If you run that launcher again it will revert to keyboard again and you'll need to edit the config document again. So make sure it's already at the resolution you want it. Then just execute the main game program (don't run it via launcher).

 

Iron Gate on the PC version seems to be missing all of the stage lighting and effects.




It's supposed to look like this.

Clearly, we must apply the Hedgehog Engine to the game. :specialed:

 

So I picked up Eggman's hover booster in Lost Colony, after I had tapped Omochao and he was flying around nearby. While the camera's spinning around me and I'm reading the upgrade's info, Omochao flies right above my mech, and is frozen in place. Every few seconds I hear the boxing glove sound effect, I assume trying to punch him away, but the action doesn't physically occur as I'm clearly locked in place.

It was rather amusing.

 

Yeah so whats up with this bullshit and is there a way to turn it off(line)?
