Sonik Sprite Remix Source Code Released

Beta · Aug 14, 2006

It's been a long time since anyone heard anything on this project. Mainly because I hadn't done much in well over a yaer and a half. I moved on, pretty much. As sad as it is. I also know that releasing it so late will not do much for the community now, since a lot of people have moved out of the hacking and are now primarily just for the community. Alas, I hope someone can find it useful.

So here it is, the SSII source.

If anyone wants to add to the databases, or continue the software for some reason, I ask only that my name remain somewhere in there. hehe.....

As with the released versino of Sonik Sprite Remix, it only completely supported Sonic 1 and some of it's compressed art. In order to add more games/sprites, you'd need to do so from Access97 due to backward compatability issues when saving.

From the readme:

A note from Beta--

After forgetting to do this a long time ago, I'm releasing the source code to Sonik Sprite Remix. It includes all images, databases, and other such information nessisary to recompile and use the program.

The databases that store the data are Access 97 format, meaning in order to view/use Sonik Sprite, your need the ADO components nessisary to access it. I do not know for sure if they are in this RAR file, but it is quite possible. In order to add entries to the database, you need Access 97 (later versinos cannot save into this format). I had not yet written a tool for adding these non-directly.

Sonik Sprite Remix was coded in VB6, and was the last program of mine to be done so since my move into other languages. The commenting isn't as good as I'd like and there is some sloppy code. I hope this might turn up useful in some way.

Yes, I believe people will find this useful. Thanks for the great program, I know myself and friends have used this tool loads of times. It is sad to hear that you moved on from the project, but I hope people will remember this as a major tool for editing sonic 1's sprites back in the day.

Thanks Beta!

Awesome of you to release it Beta, at least there's more of a chance it'll get finished if someone is willing to put in the time. There are a lot of VB6 coders around.
