Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board: Sonic Hachelle-Bee - Viewing Profile - Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board

Wood zone is certainly very incomplete in its Beta stage. A lot of graphics in the foreground / background are actually placeholders waiting to be filled. In the background, you can see the dark-green flowers shadows everywhere, as they were cut out. The bright blue color in the palette suggests a sky or something. Also, the level seems too flat to fit Sonic 2.

I like the top of the background you have done Hez. Here is an example of what I think Wood zone may look like if more complete (looks like a mix of Hez and Chaud examples in a way):

This editor is better at each iteration!
Can I ask for others enhancements?

In the blocks editor, that would be nice to be able to select multiple blocks in the list, and:

• Copy / paste them all at once.
• Apply a property to all their tiles at once.

While selecting one block to edit its tiles, same thing but with the tiles editor at the far left of the window:

• Copy / paste multiple tiles all at once.
• Apply a property on selected tiles all at once.

Same features for the chunks editor.

This, because so far, this is a real pain to create a level from scratch only with SonLVL (this is much better than other editors though ). You start with a couple of blocks, and then replicate them (one by one) to do other blocks with little variations. And then you start with a couple of chunks, and replicate them (one by one) to do other chunks with little variations. Examples:

• You want to copy 25 blocks only to change their palette ID towards the originals: 1 click on the first original block, copy, 1 click on your destination, paste, 1 click for each 4 tiles while typing the "C" shortcut. And this, 25 times = 150 clicks and a lot of mouse moves from left to right of the window. Only for this apparently simple task.
• You want to change half of a chunk solidity on both planes: click on the first block, if you are not lucky type "S and T" 3 times. And do this 32 times (half of a chunk, 32 blocks). I hope you don't have 15 chunks to edit that way.
• You want to make the same platform, but put the floor lower in the chunk: click on each block and copy them on a lower row (maybe 64 blocks to edit that way, one by one). Then, zeroes each block on top of the floor (one by one).

Maybe I'm complaining too much

Wow. This is gaming history here !

This is awesome to be able to play Sonic X-Treme after all these years. Congrats to you JollyRoger and Andrew75 !

Thanks MainMemory, for the shortcuts and everything

I like the new layout, much more easier to change tile/block ID. But it seems those additional checkboxes (for X/Y flip and priority) doesn't allow keyboard shortcuts anymore. Can you fix that, because hovering a mouse left and right to edit 1.000.000 tiles/blocks properties is really annoying.
