It's probably an odd address error. Find the starfish thing's art in the disassembly and smash an "even" on a line before it. I could probably be wrong... it's been years.
Damn thing Freezes when a chao decides to fly. Their's a water pool to the right of the shot, I've never been able to get anywhere near it since I implemented the Chao. Grr. This shot's probably the first time I've managed to pick up an egg before it freezes too.
Cor, a chao garden ingame? That's awesome. Have a look at your code, at any index-related jumps and check to see if you've messed up the index name or something, or if there's an infinite loop possibility. It's the little things that mess up on newly coded objects, usually.
o.o Get it working and I would play that hack for hours on end, just because of the Chao. It's the same reason I was hooked on SA1 and SA2B back in the day, I spent forever raising the little guys.
Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I'm still working ton the chao flight issue, but making headway as we speak. I'm not sure how im going to handle raising the chao. Right now it works like the chao garden in SA3 except you can interact with the chao.. Now I need to figure out why it crashes when I try to enter as Tiara and Honey.. Grr.
Tiara and Honey are playable? Sweet, this hack is sounding awesome :-D Any chance of pics of them, or are you keeping them under wraps for now? :-P
Alright I continued working on my Sonic Chaos (SMS) hack, for now I've only edited a few palettes and messed with the HUD layout a bit. Here's what I've got so far: I might use THZ's gray background in MGHZ, I dunno. I thought the original puke green in MGHZ was ugly as sin so I went with this darker shade. And finally the HUD. I've just changed the layout back to what it is in the first 2 games. I think the original HUD layout looks too cluttered. :\ Also I've changed all the monitors back, though I plan on keeping the character swap one. I just need to make a proper Icon for it. :v:
Working on Marble Zone. We all know it contains ruins right? I'm trying to imagine what it would've been like when it was all brand new. Here's what I have so far:
The bricks were likely not that shiny, Psy. If you're trying to get a "smooth" look to them though, I'd look at Labyrinth Zone's bricks for inspiration.
I actually might recommend Tidal Tempest Present; it has that marble-y texture to its bricks that you'd probably expect from a stage called "Marble Zone".
I think the issue is that the rocks look like a stack of soft pillows, although I like the texture, it doesn't exactly fit a ruins now does it? =P I approve of the new (less cloudy) sky though! It's certainly an improvement from the original odd looking version ugh.
The Sonic Chaos hacks interest me. Could it be possible to insert all the Game Gear edits into the MS version (eg. music, less ugly title screen)?
