    Yes, out of sheer boredom (what am I going to do with my new-found summer vacation time? :P ), I, too, have started a hack. So far, only palettes have been done, but I plan on playing around with the level layout and such (just give me some time to get the hang of using SonEd, I'll figure it out). Some screens for your viewing pleasure (or pain, whichever way you take it). I haven't come up with any changes to the level names, any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated (and I'd like it better if I used your suggestions rather than mine). Okay, here are the screens:

    [​IMG]

    Casino Night Zone

    [​IMG]

    Death Egg Zone

    [​IMG]

    Emerald Hill Zone

    [​IMG]

    Mystic Cave Zone

    [​IMG]

    Metropolis Zone

    [​IMG]

    Oil Ocean Zone

    [​IMG]

    Wing Fortress Zone

    Any and all suggestions, complaints, etc. are welcome as it is my goal to make this hack a good one (hell yeah if I'm going to spend my summer making it, it better be decent!). Thank you for your time in reading this, and a good day to you. ;)

    Nothing that concerns this place in the least.
    Holy crap, that Casino Night Zone palette looks exactly like one I made a long time ago. o_O

    Well...I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. The only hack I've ever played was the Sonic Omega one that .hack//zero made, and even that was a long time ago. So, this is just by chance, I suppose. Are you angry that I did that?

    No, I'm not angry. I'm just saying that it looked like it.

    Oh okay then. ^_^

    Also, regarding Chao-Sax Pal...what are the "Unknown" palettes used for?

    EDIT: Another thing: I tried to open up my hack in ESEII and it asked me if I wanted to "Migrate" my levels, otherwise they'll be overwritten. Uh...should I migrate them or not? :huh:

    Umm, I'm not really sure what that means. But I'm pretty sure that it probably isn't a bad thing. I'd pick "yes".

    Well...okay. I was going to pick "yes" anyway but I thought I should ask someone first.

    EDIT: Nevermind. Nothing happened. :P

    Changed Super Sonic's colors to the red family.

    Migrating the levels means that data for level layout and art are moved to the end of the ROM so that there's no problem with compression.

    So, I guess that's a good thing then. Well...since it didn't really do anything to the hack. Now I know what that means. Thank you. ^_^

    All the other palletes are good except the hot pink in mystic cave hurts my eyes. There is way too much red in death egg. Also You just don't change Super Sonics Pallete maybe dif shades of yellow but not red, green, magenta... get the point?

    That may be what you want but I don't see why everyone should be confined in that way.

    The palettes look real nicely done. You definitely has choosen a good style for the level colors, now all you need is good level names. Good Luck ;) !

    Well in my opinion, that Super Sonic looks sweet. Not changing Sonic's pallette makes sense, but the chaos emeralds could turn Sonic into something else in this hack

    You think that's bad, wait 'til you see the Mystic Cave palette in my hack. I pretty much suck at editing the palette for that level.

    My exact problem. Why do we suck at Mystic Cave? :P

    Thank you everyone. I could come up with some inventive names, but I think it would be more fun if you guys picked the names. Based on the available screenshots, what are some good names for the edited levels?

    Also, one last question: can anyone suggest a good (free) place that could host my hack, so I can put it up for download? I want to gather even more opinions, and I think that if a few people played it, the feedback would help me out immensely. The problem is the hosting. So, if anyone has any sites that could host my hack, could you please post them?

    Yeah, but I felt that it would be stealing your idea. I tried to go for an original level and got that monster of a devil. v_v
