Sonic: Project Chaos v2.5

Awesome I love your hack StephenUK.

*Downloads*

Edit: your hack is very cool. Nut I came across a problem I went to the past on the second hack and the background got messed up.

 

You are a mad bastard when it comes to ASM. Keep it up.

 

I notice you've used an EHZ-style alternation between the lighter blocks and darker blocks of grass. However, I feel a four-colour gradation from lightest on top to darkest underneath would suit your style of grass more.

Also, there's some solidity errors to sort out (mostly to do with loops) and some art which needs doing (end card stuff mostly), and why can't I charge spindash? This makes some things much more difficult.

 

Charge Spindash using the A button. I assume you use C, like I do?

Like I said, kickass. Make sure to fix the spring bug I mentioned on SSRG.

 

I want to c&p what I wrote in the thread on SCARZ:

 

This hack is fantastic. I love ASM hacks.

 

This is fucking awesome. I can't wait to see the completed product. Just....damn!

 

Yes, this is an awesome hack. (Allready posted a bug report on The Hacking Revolution forums)

 

It's coming along very nicely. Found a couple of bugs:

1: Some collision bugs, causing me to fall to me death. (occurred end of loop in future)
2: Sonics start position is a little high in act 2. (occurred in future)
3: There is a spring in act 2 (diagonal, down, right) that seems to be solid, so sonic cannot bounce off it. (occurred in future)


I have an idea. How about you use the "running faster" animations for sonic when he is using his "sonic boost"?

 

I was waiting to play this! :D....
But where did the new title go that you were showing off in your signature before?

 

Heh, so you released it. Did you use my emerald art in the end?

 

I want your microsecond counter! =P

Seriously, that feature was one of the first things I noticed. I didn't bother looking for the emerald... I couldn't be assed looking. Heh.

Make babies with me!

*sits down and starts to make little toy babies*

:wtf:

 

Uh... I'm also 100% male... therefore impossible for any of us to give birth... (ouch) If you saw my actions, you'd have seen I was making TOY babies... They're for Ordos for his birthday... along with a blow-up, life-sized Saxman doll for his fantasy purposes...

*runs*

Honestly though. I like the timer addon.

 

Very good Stephen, very good. The time travel feature is nicely done.

There is a lot of pros to say about this hack, but anyway you might want to know the cons to make it even better:

There is some collision problems with your ramps. It seems some ramps lacks some pixels of collision in the center. This causes Sonic to stop hard in the middle if he's not going too fast enough to jump the small "gap".

A yellow diagonal spring is solid (reported already). Did you set the right spring for it (41 47)? You can't flip vertically a spring, it's not working.

Your hack won't work with my favourite emulator, Genesis Plus (black screen even before the Sega logo, bad ROM size). As I said before in other posts, this emulator is very close to real hardware. You are lucky, instead of that small error, all seem to work fine.

 

Few glitches I noticed, collecting a time emblem then restarting the game results in you starting on the timezone of the emblem.

Sonic has green patches when skidding (unfinished sprites?).

Emerald graphics are screwed up for Shadow.

Returning to the start of Emerald Hill Zone 1 in the future results in what im guessing to be a titlecard made up of random sprites to appear and stay on screen until the level ends or reloads, also causing some objects not to load such as bridges and loop rings.

Other than these, excelent work, cant wait to see when this is finished.

That blew my mind. Using the original idea, (or at least what some people think) time travel in Sonic 2. Do you have all past, present, and future? Any bad futures? Also, do you want any suggestions for what other time zones alterations should look like, like for chemical plant? I could give you some good backgrounds if you want.
