I personally don't like any of the edits. I've always felt that your current one looks perfect, the new versions look like they have been greased up.

[Sonic Boom]

While I like all of them, I think the left sprite would fit best with your hack since the other two seem to have much more detail in them that the rest of the game's (I'm assuming Sonic 2 in this case) default sprites lack, that's to say if you're keeping in mind the consistency of style. Although if there's one thing I'd suggest is perhaps giving the hair some highlight much like the one on the right, only soften it to give it a subtle, but noticeable shine.

Sal in Sonic 2, PERFECT.

As for the sprites, I'd say the 2nd one (in the middle) is the one to go for in this hack, it gives out more of a Sonic 2 sprite feel with that shine on her head. The 3rd one (in the right) looks more like it belongs in Knuckles Chaotix more then anything else.

I'd more be asking why Sally's hair is so shiny all of a sudden.

She just recently started using a new brand of conditioner.

Revision 1.2 uploaded:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/vcl56c

* SEGA animation fixed (thanx MainMemory).
* Remaining sprites added (including tornado sprites for Tails' mode).
* Added a duck laser attack for when crouching.
* Couple of sprite fixes that didn't quite look right.
* Handful of other bug fixes I didn't keep track of.

Okay if I wiki this by the way?

And in a year+ absence, another update:



Sally's projectile is now REAL and long distance! A very special thanks to Snkenjoi for coding this.

Admittedly there are parts where a projectile in a Sonic game seemed better on paper, Sally frequently outruns her laser attack and some elements are extremely difficult to aim onto (see SCZ and OOZ boss) but owning parts such as the last boss are a lot of fun and at least now Sally isn't an Amy-lite. I'm wondering whether to keep her hitbox when she fires so she isn't completely vulnerable, since it's now extremely easy for her to get hit.

Bugs:

* The slide and close range fire is still needed for some objects such as the CPZ and HTZ bricks until I figure out how to code the projectile object to work with them.

Go to the wiki entry for the new revision.

If you're worried about Sally outrunning her projectile, would it be possible to add Sally's current speed to the projectile's base speed when it's fired?

[MathUser]

New hack eh? Looking pretty good. Glad you made her explosion thing a real projectile instead.

[E-122-Psi]

Would it be easy enough to have Sally switch art files when she turns super? (I know S3+K does, even if the dissassembly screws it up). If so I could at least make a more impressive super form for her by switching some colors around, even if her transformation sequence would likely look fucked up.



This is my mock up. While the colors are still underplayed, I thought it made a funny nod to her old blonde color scheme.

The next revision fixes this by clearing Sally's x velocity. While this means slowing her down whenever she has to attack, it gets rid of the issue and makes it easier to aim too. She also has a downward fire move too, which makes some parts a whole lot easier.

With the right sound effect and a recoil animation, you could easily make this feel as deliberate as it is.

Doing so would be easy enough just set the art, mappings and dplc files to load when turning super and set the normal ones when reverting from super to normal. Then you will also have to most likely make the super form animation lists from scratch, since I'd assume you would be replacing every sprite with a super form version?

[E-122-Psi]

Another new revision!

* Sally has a new downward laser ability, fire while airbourne holding downward, Sally also gets a vertical boost.
* Super Sal has been tweaked up a bit, better color scheme and her laser is boosted.
* Sally's laser can now shoot through most breakable objects (except the wing fortress entrance capsule, which still needs a close up attack to break).

Bugs:

* An odd bug sometimes occurs where Sal can just smash through some objects just by rushing through them a certain way.
* While Sally herself is fixed, some sprites still aren't refined to the super pallette.

Okay I've been attempting to convert the projectile code into the Sonic 1 hack. So far I've gotten the basic physics to work (eg. it shoots from Sally and hits things) but the art itself refuses to load no matter what I do. If anyone can see any flaws I've made in the conversion please say so. This has been driving me crazy for a while now:

Also, more a question for the long run, is it possible to put new gameplay objects into the S3+K disassembly (I don't think I've seen any projects that do so, unless Tiddle's extras in Complete apply). If it is, you know what must happen...

I can't imagine there being any disassembly that wouldn't allow you to add new objects.
