Indigo Rush Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Removing the unnecessary boosters would improve the game by about 20% for me. While I'm at it... taking out bottomless pits would go for another 20%, and a complete "Genesis"-styled soundtrack for yet another 20%, and including Episode 2 physics for 30%, and finally with improved textures at 10%, in total making the game 100% better in my eyes. Patiently waiting for that dream mod. or.... *boots up Sonic 3 & Knuckles and no longer cares* :D Edited April 16, 2012 by Indigo Rush 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCongressman1 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Read: So yeah no tools mean no hacks outside of texture swaps. This game is basically unhackable, Something I thought that would never happen. This community has surprised me over and over on what it could hack right down to Heroes almost impossible at the time hacking. To see people give up soo easy on what should have been a easy as hell sonic game to hack, just sucks to see that potentional gone... We'll see if anything changes once Episode 2 and Episode Metal release but if it doesn't I guess the topic can be closed. Full hack-ability will happen eventually, there's no doubt about that. If I'm not mistaken, I remember reading at Retro that someone has working on cracking the AMB format for some time now. It can be done, but it's just taking longer. I was just expected more people would be working on little stuff over here like retouching level tiles in the meantime. Taking the shine off the grass and whatnot.

Unpacking and repacking AMB files has been possible for quite some time, otherwise the texture mods wouldn't have been possible, since the texture files are also inside AMB files.

Right, I have done this myself. But we still don't have tools for anything else. You can unpack any of the files, but other than the textures, there are no ways of editing them. I was saying that I believe there was somebody at Retro working on that. Edited April 16, 2012 by TheCongressman1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebtand Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 To repack you need to use the reimport shortcut, then select the script, select the AMB, and in the end select the file you want to reimport (if you want to repack multiple files, the tool will automatically reimport those other files as long as they're in the same folder as the one you selected). About the textures, I've been trying a few things, I might do a 3rd pack, using the iPad version textures without the "shiny" effect (dunno what's the technical name for this, but that doesn't really matter), but I'm editing the textures to lower their brightness a bit. Later today I'll post some pictures with the results. How do you even open the shortcut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaddix Leto Croft Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Just a quick question. How do you change the music in Episode 2 ? I really want to change some of the music in the game (Like Invincability music from Sonic Generations Final Boss and replace it with that) Does anyone know ?

I really want to change some of the music in the game (Like Invincability music from Sonic Generations Final Boss and replace it with that) Does anyone know ? There's the sound folder, and all the music is in "SONICDL_SNG01.CPK" I think. You'll need something to unpack and repack .cpk files, and on top of the the music itself is in .aax files, so you need whatever music you want in the same format. brb, looking for tools EDIT: Okay, this should help EDIT2: And the Generations .aax files, since you'll be wanted some of them Edited April 29, 2012 by Blue Blood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezodagrom Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Now that Episode 2 is out for the PC (Europe), I already switched the spindash and spinning sound effects. Since the sound effects files are similar to the Ep1 files, switching the sound effects was easy to do through hex editing: The modified sound effect files (for both Episode 2 and Episode Metal): http://www.mediafire.com/?e9qwk528b2718w7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperRiderTH Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 With what tool (If any) would you go about packaging MP3s to AAXs? You can't use MP3. You have to use WAV.

goku262002 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hogfather has a request, think anybody is up to it?: Suggestion for an episode 2 mod. Change the Co-op move SFX so instead of the current sound, it plays Bill & Ted yelling EXCELLENT! Followed by the guitar riff. Then for the co-op item box it's, I'm Bill S Preston thingy, and I'm ted Theodor Logan! And together we are... Wyld Stallyns! If my thinking is correct, that SFX should just finish at the final climax to that move... It must be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badnik Mechanic Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 In fact... just replace most of the SFX clips with voice clips from Bill & Ted, Eggman appears, "How's it goin' royal ugly dudes!" Get an extra life box = "69 dude!" Die = "Bogus!" With the cartoons theres more material, but I'm not too familiar with those shows. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
