Sonic Lost World (PC / Wii U) Hacking & Resources

I just tried the Goal ring on the Wii U version sonic just hits it and it doesn't end the level which I believe is the same. So I don't think there is an issue of objects/functions missing. (same thing with the item boxes as well.)

 

So they didn't fix the Super Sonic animations?

 

Huh, well what's the point of it, then?

 

Is it possible that it's just not doing anything because the game's in single-player mode? I haven't actually played LW multiplayer, so I dunno how it works :v:

 

None of my changes seems to stick after modifying the actmissions lua file and repacking the cpk. Tried to edit out the snowball, but no go.

 

Gotta edit the sonic2012_patch_0.cpk

 

So on the PC version, the path2 format contains a mix of little/big endian values (most of the data is little endian and the offsets are big endian). The pac format is entirely little endian. The model format is entirely big endian.

??????

edit: scratch that - turns out I was given an incorrectly-unpacked path2 file to look at. They are entirely little endian.

 

Wait, did you mean you tried placing it in a single player stage, or you tried playing the multiplayer mode? Because it would make sense if it didn't work in single player mode even on the Wii U. I thought you meant you just played the multiplayer mode.

 

I honestly think every Sonic game should get a PC port. Just give us Shadow through Colors so we can mess with them. I enjoyed all of them, and there's no downside to Sega releasing them again and getting more money. Then we can tear into them. Its positive all around, and its great PR.

 

I think it'd be great if they'd go a step further and help the modding community through giving them the proper tools to edit these games. They know they exist, why not make it easier for them to have some fun? It's extra content Sega doesn't have to pay a dime for.

 

If this wasn't worth the time and effort, I highly doubt this topic would have this many pages or still be on the first page.

 

Seriously though! Just giving us the tools they use internally and leaving it a that would be incredibly helpful for modders, would be great PR, and wouldn't cost anything at all! I don't understand some of the business decisions these companies make, I swear. + - Seriously though, I want Sonic 06 on PC.  

 

I just assume that SEGA's hands are kind of tied in regards to modding, they're taking the safest route of never officially acknowledging it so they never have to officially endorse it or officially outlaw it. Taking a neutral stance, technically more people can be happy. There are people who support modding, but maybe SEGA's investors are not those kinds of people, or someone else is tying their hands on that front (like higher ups).

 

Amen to that. I'd love to see what people could do with some of those games. Hell, we've already seen people mess with Unleashed on consoles, just imagine what people could do with a PC version.

 

Hey guys, this is an engineering thread, not a Sonic Discussion thread. Let's keep all the opinions about the game's quality in the Sonic Lost World thread.

 

Can the off topic posts be moved? Cleaning this topic up would be nice for those trying to keep up to date with the actual research

 

To segway back into the topic, here's another Classic Sonic mod:

This one fits Classic's model over the regular animations, so he's a bit taller. But given the more classic nature of the poses it's not as awkward as the Modern/Classic switch in Generations.

 

Awesome! Classic Sonic looks surprisingly natural for a lot of those animations.
