After seeing a bunch of "(optional)" in the bug fixes Google Doc, I'm thinking the ability to actually have customisable options on mods (like in Freelancer Mod Manager) would be really awesome.

While it's a good idea, CPKREDIR might need a bit of a redesign for that. Only thing I can think of is adding toggles for Advanced mode entries.

Yeah I was thinking earlier this morning how that might not work so well with CPKREDIR.

Just to tack on a suggestion, assuming they're still welcome... Obviously this might require some work, but it'd be neat if you could check a mod to see what stage/music it replaces.

Since the topic has been bumped already, I would like to voice my agreement with iGamr. It's not a big deal, but it would be handy to see what mod replaces what just to make sure you don't double replace a stage or character.

Alright, sorry for bumping this, but GuessWho suggested I bring this up with Korama or Dario.

I'm having issues with music replacement as far as the mod installer goes. Doing one song (replacing Green Hill Original with Stardust Speedway - CashCash) works fine, but as soon as I add a second song, neither the original song (SSZ), nor the new one are replaced and instead play the original non-replaced tracks. (replaced What I'm Made Of with BigArms). Replacing the whole CPK worked fine, but doing it with the Mod installer reverts to the original file. GuessWho suggested it might be an issue with cpkredir.

I'm not really following what you're doing. Are you using two separate mods stacked? Music CPK redirection works just like regular bb, bb2, and bb3 CPKs, so the same concept applies.

So you might want to either upload your mod folder you're working with, or go a bit more in detail.

[Donnyku]

sorry that I'm terrible at explaining things. It's the only mod set to be in use, besides logo removal.

Here is what I got so far with my music mod

Hopefully that might help with figuring out what I'm possibly doing wrong, if it's me (which is quite possible)

[Dario FF]

You need to add the AAX files to a folder called "Synth" inside of SNG22_ADD, you forgot that. It works fine when I do that. That's how the original CPK is arranged.

Thanks, can't believe I did something so dumb. I guess it was the fact that replacing the one track by itself working fine is what threw me off.

New SonicGMI Update. Check the first post for more details. I'll explain how to set up an Update Server for a mod's distribution later once I'm sure the feature is working alright.

This makes mods so much easier to use! Awesome!

A couple suggestions for GMI's interface:

- As of now, you can't hit "Save and Play" until you uncheck and recheck "Enable Mods". Should be allowed by default if a mod is checked.
- It would be nice if you could sort mods by the headers.

If you didn't realize this already, they ARE actually sorted alphabetically... by the names of the folders within your "mods" folder. Took me a bit to figure that out.

The presentation of the new FxPipeline renderer is interesting. It makes me wonder if we could make different shaders that AREN'T just Unleashed and Generations...

Of course, I can show why you NEED the shaders on in the GMI.



Can anyone say Virtual Boy?

If you'll notice, it actually causes some things to disappear. There's no boost trail, and enemy projectiles are invisible (see Chemical Plant Zone and Sky Sanctuary)

I actually think this is pretty funny to use. I might just play the whole thing to see how fucked up some of the levels can get.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this bug in, but I think it is. I found a very minor shader bug with a tree in Seaside Hill (gasp!). It's a bit trivial, but a bug is a bug.
