Finally, a game mode for emblem collection enthusiasts!
All 6 of you!
- How it works -
When a map is loaded in Emblem Hunt mode, emblems are placed in the same positions as their single player counterparts, so there's no need to worry about non-stage emblems such as the record attack rewards. If a stage has no emblems in it by default (such as in Techno Legacy Zone), a single goal emblem will be placed at the very end of the stage. Get to the goal to win!
Whether you're looking for emblems in their original places or on top of emerald tokens, a handy dandy radar will always be at your side to help you locate any well hidden goodies, so keep your eyes peeled and your ears open!
- Mod compatibility -Emblem Hunt should be fully compatible with all kinds of character mods. Finding emblems with Sonic & co. is fine and all, but finding emblems is at its most fun when everyone picks a different character and uses their full potential to find everything!
Currently tested and fully functioning working level packs:
- Mystic Realm + Community Edition
- Sonic 06 map pack
- Has some issues in xmas modes 2 and 3, but otherwise is 100% playable
- 2.1 map pack
- One of the emblems in ACZ may cause a softlock since debris will fall on top of it if not reached without touching the ground, an intended design decision from v2.1. A map reload will be necessary.
- Console commands -
eh_emblems - Determines where Emblem Hunt's goal emblems will be placed when a map is loaded. Has three modes:1- Place goal emblems only where emerald tokens would originally be2- Place emblems only on top of the map's original emblems (default option)3- Place emblems for both emerald tokens and map emblems! Not for the faint of heart!
eh_checkpoints - Changes how checkpoint warping behaves. Has two modes:1- Make all checkpoints before your most recent one active and warpable (default option)2- Make checkpoints behave like in Shadow the Hedgehog, where only the checkpoints you touched become warpable
eh_super - Allows characters to use their super forms in Emblem Hunt mode. Keep in mind this command will not affect custom gems such as Mystic Realm's key stones and black emerald, not Rush Chars' sol emeralds.1- Enable super forms by giving everyone all 7 emeralds2- Strips away all chaos emeralds (default option)
eh_xmas - It's the jolliest time of the year once again! Enable this command to swap out the goal emblems for xmas presents! Comes with four modes:0- Disable xmas mode (default option)1- Change all emblems to presents2- Enable presents and also change the stage's sky and weather3- Presents, weather changes, and a nice blue night time tint over the stages! OpenGL mode recommended.
- Questions & answers -
Yes! Or at least it should, in theory. The way SUGOI handles its stage end emblems is by placing them at the very corners of the maps and moving them towards the players when a level is completed, supposedly making them impossible to collect in Emblem Hunt. This has been accounted for, and if a future port of the SUGOI packs is released using the same system then EH should be able to handle it no problem!
Unfortunately no. Emblem hints are not accessible through lua yet, and as such it would be impossible to add hints in without adding every single one manually, which would be more effort than it's worth since the radar already works quite well for tracking down emblems.
