- Sonic comes back with chaos control using a fake chaos emerald. The sonic heroes feature should be ported to a seperate hack and change the level design.
lol @ Tails' still-2D feet. Also, here's an unusual bug that I noticed. In ARZ, the drowning music doesn't quite work right. I didn't test this extensively to see exactly what's going on, but drowning music was playing even when I (Tails) was out of the water, and the other two characters respawned also out of the water. It finished, nobody drowned, and the level music didn't continue. My guess would be that the music is assigned to Sonic rather than P1, and the respawn fucked it up. But that's just an uninformed guess, so you don't get to yell at me if I'm wrong.
A quick note: I found out what was causing the crash in Regen by using its built-in debugger (which was annoying because debug Regen kept crashing along with the game while the debugger was active); the next revision will work perfectly with it. Strangely enough, the crash only happened on EHZ, HTZ and OOZ -- all other levels worked fine from level select. Given what was causing the crash, I don't understand why they crashed but the others worked.
Sorry for the double post, but I am just announcing that there is a new revision. Also, if anyone is interested, I need art for the title screen. A good starting point would be a larger version of the S3&K game clear icon. Edit: specifically, this:
This one? I agree, good idea. Too bad I suck at art, otherwise I'd help you. edit: fffffffffffffuuuuuuuuu you edited your post while I was posting. I guess this can be trashed
If only I had some free time I'd love to help. Granted I'd only be good at drawing the outline, the shading and coloring would be up to someone else
What about having the Sonic 2 AND the Sonic 2 & Knuckles title animations happen on the same title screen with Sonic and Tails moved to make room for Knuckles?
The problem with that, however, is how Sonic and Tails will remain in their animated style, while Knuckles will remain in his CG style. It'll be two rather clashing art styles. EDIT: Espio'd, but mine went into more detail :v: And also, it seems as if many different fangames such as Sonic XG are already using that title screen. Why not use something like the three sprites of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles from the Blue Spheres screen?
Got stuck in Casino night Zone. I switched to Knuckles and got into one of those spring gimmicks where you hold the button and release and then it goes... no inputs work on the gimmick. Awesome hack though. Not too much more awesome than lifting Knuckles way into the sky as Tails and then switching to him and jumping off and gliding your way to victory.
Minor graphical glitch in Chemical Plant Zone. I glided into this wall, and got frozen in one frame of pushing, but I was still able to climb up and down. It only happened at this exact wall, and it didn't happen every time. I also got this in a small section partway into Metropolis Zone, but I forgot to grab a screenshot. Apologies if this has been sighted already.
Maybe, for the title screen, use the Sonic & Knuckles "No Way! No Way?" art? I used it a long ago for a fangame I was making (lol it was called Sonic 4), I'll see if I can drag it up again later to show.
B-but... I just said that a couple of posts up Oh well, you have a better means of showing him how to implement it anyways.
Oh noes! Somebody already used in a hack/fangame/whatever! Nobody can ever use it again, ever, for anything, no matter how suitable, for fear of being labeled an idea stealer! [/sarcasm]
Umm, I wasn't trying to be rude, so why necessarily did you respond that way? Kind of unneccesary if you ask me. It was just a suggestion for the benefit of the hack. If you wanted to take advantage of the idea or not, is okay. Besides, it wasn't because "you'd be an idea stealer" as much as it was to be more original and unique compared to various other fan-made productions.
I agree that while nothing prevents flamewing from using the same screen used in Sonic XG, he should try something different to make his hack even more unique. The NO WAY screen might be a good idea, without Robotnik though, and with a scrolling "SONIC 2 HEROES" instead of "NO WAY".
