Sonic Generations Hacking (and More!)

I was originally trying to change the original's red parts to black, and the original's black parts to yellow, but it ended up looking really shitty (see what I did there?)
I'll try working on a better color scheme tomorrow (though I'll take note of any color scheme suggestions too.)

 

I'm not sure if it'd look any good, but when I tried inverting the colors on a picture of the Egg Dragoon, it had an interesting ice-blue and white color scheme going on...

Alternatively, have you considered simple swapping the red and black colors that it already has?

EDIT: Oh and for reference, here's what the invert looks like. Sorry about the weird quality, the huge image size combined with some compression issues sorta made it look like crap.

Spoiler

 

In the long run I don't think this matters much. Dario is doing an excellent job, and this guy is not. Whether or not he's using Dario's tools, the quality of his cameraless, broken-skybox'd output is shitty enough that I don't think people are gonna have trouble telling the difference. At worst, he's just throwing away his own time redoing what someone else has done, but not as well.

 

It shouldn't really matter when I already got most of the DLC stages working anyways. I just have to fix up the layouts. I have them all imported and working fine they just need the layouts fixed for the most part. Nothing too drastic like what has been done for the main levels though. I was planning to finish these after we release the main stuff.

 

Mostly just the fact that he didn't fix up the Jungle Joyride's collision, cameras, and object replacement, along with Mazuri's skybox and 2D-spline. Maybe I'm being a nitpick, but when compared to the progress made by the Unleashed porting project already underway, it just seems really bad to me.

 

It depends on how far along he is. If these videos are meant to be finished work, then yeah it's terrible. If it's a proof-of-concept (to say "see, Dario's tools aren't necessary") or just an early WIP, it's not nearly so bad.

 

Yeah I seriously doubt that since he is deciding to 'threaten' me when people were commenting on his video badly.

Besides the fact I haven't said anything beside "You are using Dario's tool" he gets all defensive and removes the comment. So I would say otherwise, this was bound to happen.

It doesn't really matter though either way. He is just impatient.

 

I noticed that the Sonic Spawn options gets reset every time a level is loaded in SonicGLVL. is there a chance someone will add options to the Sonic Spawn?

 

My tools have a "signature" so to speak. The moment he puts up a "download" for it, I can tell you with just looking at it if it's done using SonicGLvl. I have my doubts about the Jungle Joyride one since it's not technically needed, but the Mazuri one is done with SonicGLvl, I can tell.

Besides, are you seriously giving him cred when he's just basing off our own research from lots of months ago? Seems pointless. Don't give him the attention, and it won't be a problem.

I don't see the point of it anyway. The moment our mod releases, the tools will be public. Why be impatient and reinvent the wheel?

 

You guys have better tools than SonicGLVL?

 

SonicGLVL is still the editor, but I have others like the converter for all the Havok stuff. Animations, physics, it's all very accurate.

I guess this is what I get for making and researching something for free and then making some of the tools available. People turning on you and threatening for no reason. Just leave him alone, we don't want any drama.

 

Oh, okay then.

So then, about this.

 

I haven't experienced this. Mind describing a bit more how to reproduce it? What options are you talking about specifically?

 

You cant' change these. If you open the stage in SonicGLVL after manually editing the sonc spawn, it will revert back to the changes in the picture.
So far the only mode option I've found was "CrouchingStartFront". I believe the camera view names are the names of the cameras. Like "Front", "2D", "3D", etc.

In the stage.stg you have these options:

Code (Text):

1.     <Sonic>
2.         <Yaw>-178.945</Yaw>
3.         <DeadHeight>-3500</DeadHeight>
4.         <CameraView>Forward</CameraView>
5.         <Position>
6.             <x>107.854</x>
7.             <y>333.159</y>
8.             <z>398.115</z>
9.         </Position>
10.         <Start>
11.             <Mode>CrouchingStartFront</Mode>
12.             <Speed>40</Speed>
13.             <Time>1</Time>
14.         </Start>
15.     </Sonic>
16.  

 

Oh, that's just the silly bug since you can't edit the sub-tree elements with the GUI, and I haven't really fixed it yet because I tend to forget about it. You can work around it by editting the xml it is on (the <SonicSpawn> object itself), repacking the AR file, and then opening it in the editor. Editing Stage.stg.xml itself won't keep the values if you resave with the SpawnPoint as active.

Keep it up Joe! Loving this mod.

 

Two things.

1) Stop making me feel so unaccomplished, Falk! ...I'll be a good musician someday, I promise. ;-;

2) Melpontro, if you don't intend to finish Radical Train, is there any chance I could try to do so instead? If not, get back on it!



EDIT: Also, new Planet Wisp progress vid. I'm not working on this anymore until Brooks Weiler has finished trying to crack the set data from Colors as that will save me a lot of time.

KatamariParadox, think you can help me with a stage if you're not too busy? Later on that is.
