It's kinda funny how you mention mine in such a "good" way, since mine was done before everyone got in on it. Then again, the Modern Sonic and Modern Super Sonic are almost exactly the same, unlike every other model being swapped. I simply waited until everything looked perfect before attempting to show it off.

Honestly, BoomBoomFP put more work into his previous Shadow mods than I did with Super Sonic. He's done all of the same types of changes as I did, but adding in UI changes, and the use of a non-Sonic model+animations.

All I got going for me is music modding (including the Unleashed stage imports),and above-average gameplay + higher/cleaner quality in the videos.

At least your working with somebody to actually put some effort into a character hack. some of these are just name changing some files and calling it a day.

Now that you know that it may be possible to make custom animations, are you or your partner going to attempt it?

Well .. Can somebody upload a metalsonic Mod ? for sonic generations becase its hard to do a metal sonic swap model .. PLEASE ?

This is pretty awesome. I wonder if we can get Blaze's running animation from rush to replace Sonic's one, well first gotta mess around with dem colors.

I don't think this has been posted yet, but aside from the model swapping, someone found out that in the Classic Sonic Adventure Mod when you use the flame shield, it acts like a boost.

[Joe T.E.]

Aw yeah, thanks a bunch . I'm going to find an image editor ASAP that supports DDS.

Also, does anyone know how to swap ingame unlockable music? (Like if I wanted to replace Right There Ride On for its Blazy remix one?) And is it possible to swap musics such as the stage clear music? And perhaps even Sonic's voice clips?

I've been doing music swaps for quite a while now. I'd show you how it's done, but I removed the links to the files and programs needed (In an attempt to improve the instructions.) Then again, all it really contained was related to the creation of AAX song files...

But to help you a bit, the unlockable songs are stored in SNG22_ADD.cpk, and the stage clear songs are in SNG19_JNG.cpk.
You can listen to them using any media player that supports the VGMstream plugin (such as winamp.)
Until I re-release all of my download links, you'll have to ask someone to make the AAX files for you (probably me at this rate.)

Sonic's voice clips would be a bit harder to work with, but since BoomBoomFP seems to have gotten it working with his new Silver mod, you should ask him about it.

What? I don't have a partner. The only "collaborating" I've ever done is giving a few tips, and receiving a few tips.
I was just saying that I'm not the only one putting "effort" into these model swaps, and giving an example of someone who has put MORE effort into their work than I have.

As for the possibility of editing animations, I'm playing around with the tools to figure out how it all works. Or at the very least have a way to import the animations into 3DS Max without needing to go through a complicated file conversion process that is a bit glitchy at times.

EDIT:
Until I can figure out a way to fix Classic Sonic's eyes and quills into the super positions, here's a texture edit I made just for fun.

I made a "Super" form of sorts for Metal Sonic. The color scheme is a combination of Metal Sonic Kai (Knuckles Chaotix final boss), and the "inverted" colors he had during his electrical attacks in Sonic CD.
And yes, I made the text say "Hyper" Metal Sonic. Think about it, and you'll understand why I did it.

Can anyone tell me how to change the cost of all the skills to zero? I would like to have Super Sonic and other skills enabled all at the same time (like Thunder Shield + Super Sonic). I don't see anywhere in this thread or in Sonic Retro's Sonic Generations hacking thread of how to do it.

Also, I think someone should make a full-fledged Sonic Generations hacking guide on Retro's wiki. It would really help people like me who are new into the hacking business.

You don't make the skills cost 0 points. You instead increase the 100 point limit (Though you still only have 5 slots available...) And once the skill set is saved it will remain intact even if the skill point limit returns to 100.

You'll need cheat engine to do it. I'd explain how I did it (as shown in my Seaside Hill video with Hyper Sonic), but I'm terrible at explanations. I also can't just tell you which address+value to change, as the game stores it in a different memory location each time the HUB world is loaded up. Next time I do it myself, I'll make a universal code using a pointer, and make a file that lets Cheat Engine load it for you.

The wing flapping animation kinda seems weird, like the Shadow skating animation. But other than that, it's good.

It actually looks allright. Just look at how real bats or birds fly.

(Yes I know, the spin jump and boost and whatever colors aren't edited yet, I'm following slowly a tutorial video, don't want to mess up everything.)
I'm having too much fun with this.

I just saw that video a few minutes ago. You were telling everyone to not ask any questions. But you made a mistake in your written tutorial.
Tell everyone to use #sonic.ar.00 instead of sonic.ar.00. #sonic.ar.00 has the xml. sonic.ar.00 has the model and animations.

He just swapped the models to make Classic Sonic look like Modern Sonic.

The "Hyper Metal Sonic" name was just a joke. Besides fitting with the Hyper Sonic hacks I'm using, it was a tribute to this...

In that movie, Robotnik called him Hyper Metal Sonic instead of Metal Sonic. That's the joke.

(P.S. - I have it on DVD. I was watching it last night. I took the screenshot myself.)

The instant I saw spin dashing, I knew it was a model swap. Nice job man!

Does anyone know how to remove result screen animations?
