Joe T.E. Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks to JoeTE I was able to get this working. It still needs some weight fixing mostly on the arms area. But other than that its perfect although its meant for people who have more "oommph" to their computer. *spoiler'd pics* Well now that is done back to some other stuff that I was doing. Sweet! I'm glad you were able to get the materials and turbosmoothing to all work! It looks amazing (and better than it did in all of my tests with it. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 You really shouldn't have changed it because one guy said BAAAWWW GREEN EYES!!. release both, black eyes for whatshisface over there and green eyes for the rest of us. Thanks for generalizing my (mistaken) correction about classic Sonic having green eyes into another mindless classic fanboy complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debug Ring Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 That SA2 Sonic looks great! It'd look cool if you textured him to his colour in SA2, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jango Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hoooly balls, that Sky Troops, that Windmill Isle, that Super Sonic, that SA2 Sonic, all of you guys rock! I wish I could give it a try, but my PC can't handle SG :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other than that its perfect although its meant for people who have more "oommph" to their computer. Well now that is done back to some other stuff that I was doing. This is looking great too!

Dere Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) I finally got that working (Thanks Dario, JoeTE and all others!) Does someone know how I can remake textures to HD and make good normal maps using photoshop? I'm going to work on Pyramid Cave now. Would it be feasible to tweak his quills to make them look more like SA2 Sonic's? Edit: Typo Edited June 19, 2012 by Dere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin. Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 ....If everyone wants it to look exactly like SA2 Sonic, why not just import SA2 Sonic? Or is that impossible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSI Wind Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 These imports are great and all, but can we maybe start making the stages like Melpontro's Sky Fortress? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diogenes Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Sky Troops update: *snip* This stage is gonna be fuuuuun! ...how? Literally everything in that video is just "hold boost", and the rest of what he's shown off isn't much better... e: I'm bored so I'll explain my problems with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgUEhzlv2UI: 0:00-0:11: Just boosting and tricking. I can't complain too hard about having a running start, though. 0:15-0:20: Rail. Boost. What gameplay? 0:27-0:35: This whole section is basically just homing attacking, with some jumping over of spikes if you don't have the prescience to see the HA chain coming. 1:09-1:11: Back to the start. If the collision detection for those platforms on the left is anything like their visible model, I would not for one second trust boosting on them to go well. The right side platforms are also basically useless; there's no situation in which that 10-ring is going to be worth the time (and I know he mentions a red ring will be above it in another video, but once you get that, that side is useless). And the level is overall heavily automated and is comprised of narrow paths over a pit. Edited June 19, 2012 by Diogenes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget who's doing an actually good import. : P I haven't done an update video because I don't want to spoil some of the design decisions we took for the level...

It would be hard and ulikely but great too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFenix Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 My Gosh! Adabat! Finally! How's it going Dario? Adabat is the must beautiful level of all three Unleashed-like games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dario ff Posted June 19, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2012 Adabat is one freaking laggy and broken motherfucker. I have some ideas on how to go about fixing it tho. Some blending materials are broken, that's easy to fix. The biggest problem it has is how it manages the terrain loading/unloading. As in, it's not optimized AT ALL. It only takes one run that you start lagging so hard through the level that it's at barely 12 FPS(and it's definitely a resource management issue, because previous sections also lag if you replay the stage). The other prominent issue you might remember is the teleporting that's needed, which is not present in Generations. My idea for a workaround is using a fake CPZ Pipe object with a defined path and a stupidly high velocity, which will take Sonic in 1 frame to the other side of the stage. I have no idea how well this will work, but it gives me some hope it can be done. Not to mention Adabat is one of the stages with the most amount of custom objects from Unleashed. Doors(which can be recreated via ObjectPhysics I bet), crushing roofs/floors, lots of shit. It's definitely quite the marathon and a really intense stage, but it's too bugged nigh to unplayable at the moment. Dragon Road is currently under heavy tweaking. It can already be fully played, it just needs polishing in various areas. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegameexplorer Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) How is the Sonic Unleashed animations porting coming along? And why is Sonic standing on the dragon instead of running?

Dario ff Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) I just backtracked. EDIT: Ninja'd. Also the night stages are just an idea tossed out, but they're not a priority at all. Edited June 19, 2012 by Dario ff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegameexplorer Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I may have a suggestion for Something: A level swapper, the utility converts all the files to the newly chosen stage like ghz - sph sph - ghz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite stage of all time in Sonic Generations (through hacking) but I can't play it because I don't have the PC version nor a PC strong enough to run this game.

Faseeh Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Melpronto's next preview: Honestly, he should have delayed this preview. The first part looks worse than Unleahsed's Boost to Win (I don't actually think Unleashed is Boost to Win) and then we have an upper path which he hasn't programmed and then a forced quick step section (he could have thought of unique ways like for example, quick step at the end when the sky troops fall?) and then three rails which lead to nowhere for now. But still he is doing an awesome job. I don't think I can ever do that. Good job and I am just giving feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
