goku262002 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Same as the Generations mods topic, Since Sonic 4 Episode 1 is now out on PC and Episode 2 is coming to PC, it's only a while until we can expect some mods for them to pop up as well. So here's the official thread dedicated to mods for Sonic 4 Episode 1/Episode 2, so post em here if you got any, or give ideas or suggestions about mods. Yes CanofEpicSauce, I'm sooooo original.

Old dead account Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 So who's hacked perfect Genesis physics into it by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss (legendsneverdie) Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 So who's hacked perfect Genesis physics into it by now? Don't think they would be that useful unless you also removed the speed boosters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goku262002 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Nothing yet. atm its allot of texture fiddling. Saw this on Retro's S4E1 topic: Its from Twlightzoney over at Retro: http://www.sendspace.com/file/vc3yc3 Here you go, just place it in G_COM folder in the PLY Folder and make sure to back up your own copy of it. I just replaced the diffuse maps with the Sonic 4 Ipad textures since they are loads better for Sonic and got rid of the awful shader fx texture. Its a start!

Popular Post Blue Blood Posted January 20, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Bloody hell does that simple texture swap ever make the world of difference. Sonic is still too bright (his muzzle, arms and belly look almost white) but that's the lighting I think. I can't wait to see what else comes about. "Slip n slide" isn't a mod btw, it's what happens when you press left and right at the same time! Oh Lordy! EDIT: I lack the know how to do anything more technical than simple textures hacks right now. But that doesn't mean there isn't a little fun to be had with file swapping!

Blue Blood Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Sorry, couldn't resist this. Just more file swapping. Unfortunately it didn't work the other way around. EDIT: No success so far in replacing anyone but Motobug with Sonic. Edited January 20, 2012 by Blue Blood 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry the Nomad Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Is there an image of the red Tails rocket on its own floating around? I'd love to have it for use in photoshops. Saves time cutting one out from a screengrab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFenix Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have a tool to unpack them, but it's worthless without a way to repack them afterwards. I'll upload it for you in a sec. EDIT: Nevermind. Found the original link at Retro. Big thanks man.^^ Now if only there was a way to repack them... Wanna remove the HUD in order for the game to look more cinematic.

Blue Blood Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Don't think do. It's a model, not a sprite so you'll either need a screenshot of it in modelling software or you'll have to cut it out of a screen. Also this It works on the SEGA screen, but causes a crash when loading any level. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry the Nomad Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Motobug needs a spin-off. He's technically the second character to be seen in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Rush Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) The Motobug hack would be cool, but not if the physics aren't the same as the original. :/ Edited January 21, 2012 by Indigo Rush 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcello Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 So has no one changed the physics yet? I'd love to see videos of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a modified screenshot. Your wrong good sir, I been registered on here for almost a month now. Just thought that there was a download from that screenshot. I mean if ppl were able to get the iPhone Sonic Model onto the PC, surely someone could create a classic Sonic model for Sonic 4, since that is like the most anticipated thing to have in Sonic 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Blood Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) So has no one changed the physics yet? I'd love to see videos of that. Endri fixed them on the PartnerNET build ages ago. Not the uncurling issue, but the stopping dead when you let go of left/right thing. We need someone who doesn't get off on hoarding to come along and do it for the PC version. Your wrong good sir, I been registered on here for almost a month now. Just thought that there was a download from that screenshot. I mean if ppl were able to get the iPhone Sonic Model onto the PC, surely someone could create a classic Sonic model for Sonic 4, since that is like the most anticipated thing to have in Sonic 4 Well still Nobody really did anything to improve Sonic. They just C&P'd his texture files from the iPhone version to the PC version. The model was never changed. EDIT: Model swapping should never be this much fun. And I heard everyone loved the Lost Labyrinth background, so I decided to turn every ring into the Lost Labyrinth background! Enjoy. Ugh... dear God I want to properly modify Sonic 4 so bad! I shall devote this week to doing something worthwhile with it. Edited January 21, 2012 by Blue Blood 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy. Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 When I Install the Texture swap I am forced to run the game from the Steam Folder in my Programs to have it work. Is there a way to open the game in Steam and still have the textures changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debug Ring Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Anyone got any hints on how to texture hack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Blood Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Anyone got any hints on how to texture hack? This will let you unpack any .AMB files in the game. The filenames that are like this; "x_TXD.AMB" contain textures (x_MDl.AMB are models, x_MTN.AMB are animations etc). The textures themselves are in .DDS format and you'll need a Photoshop plugin to open them. Currently we don't have a way to repack the files so you cant actually use them in-game yet.
