What's this? A dragon??
It's Spyro the dragon, in all of his purple glory and with many of his abilities too.
After some finagling in Blender to render out sprites for Radicalicious' "Spyro the Hedgehog" mod, I took it upon myself to code in some (questionably buggy) enhancements. Basically fork.
----
LORE:
(As in why is Spyro in Sonic's world? What's all this about? Where's Sparx?)
Spyro partakes in a teleportation experiment that's being conducted by the Professor, however something weird happened and now Spyro is transported into Sonic's universe (probably something to do with Eggman's diddling with that asteroid). Separated from Sparx, Spyro must rely on collecting rings to keep himself safe while also avoiding the various hazards in Sonic's world. Spyro, with the help Sonic and his buddies, must reach Eggman's base, as that is where a teleporter is believed to be located that can return Spyro home.
----
ABILITES:
- Glide & Hover: Spyro can glide forward in the air by pressing the Jump button while airborne, to stop gliding, press the Custom2 button to end your glide with a brief hover. The Hover move is great for just reaching distant platforms and to better stop above a specific spot.
- Fire breath: Press the Custom1 or Fire buttons to breath fire in front of you. The flames don't travel far however they're fairly effective in safely dispatching enemies. Certain enemies are not affected by your flames though. (Eggman is very inconsistent on the metals he uses to design his robots)
- Charge: Press and hold the Spin button to charge ahead with speed. Spyro's horns are robust, able to at least damage some relatively large enemies and break through bustable walls, however others enemies can't be charged at due to their features such as any spikes they have on them. Try not to get robusted by them.
- Headbash: Press the Custom2 button while in the air after a Hover to dive at the ground with a headbutt. This move is great for quick descents and can bash through bustable floors. This move can also be used to defeat enemies.
- Bash-Rollout: When bashing down towards the ground hold the Spin button to roll ahead a short distance. This move is useful for getting under low gaps that require to player to be rolling.
NOTE: This move is not enabled by default, you need to enable it with the "rolloutavailible" console variable.
- Swim: Hold the Jump button while underwater to ascend. Be careful as Spyro is vulnerable to drowning while in Sonic's world, what with Sparx not being there to help. You can also charge underwater to defeat some enemies and move quickly, however Spyro will quickly descend deeper when you do this and can make regaining upward momentum difficult.
- Supercharge: If Spyro has the Super Sneakers powerup he can charge at even greater speeds. If he can keep the supercharge going he will enter dash mode and can charge through spikes and above water.
SHIELD POWERS:
Spyro can use the power of some shields to enhance his abilities.
- Flame Shield & Elemental Shield: These shields will give Spyro the Superflame.
- Instead of the normal fire breath you will shoot a powerful fireball that can hit any enemy (that is vulnerable to missiles).
- The Flame Shield's flame drop ability will activate when you headbash.
- Whirlwind Shield: This shield will enhance Spyro's gliding abilities. His descent rate is significantly slower and can get back into a glide a bit faster after a hover.
- Press Spin button to charge ahead and use the shield's wind jump ability.
- Instead of the normal fire breath you shoot a gust of wind. The wind won't harm enemies by itself so try blowing them into a wall or some other hazard.
- The wind breath will not have any effect on larger/heavier enemies.
- Bubble Shield: This shield's bubble bounce ability will activate when you headbash the ground.
- Armageddon Shield: This shield's explosive screen nuke will activate when you headbash the ground.
- Attraction Shield & Electric Shield: These shield will allow Spyro to shoot an electric bolt.
- A more powerful, larger bolt can be shot if charged up by holding the Custom 1 button then releasing when ready.
- Should not have any effect on enemies with an affinity to electricity. (currently none in vanilla SRB2)
- Force Shield: This shield's horizontal momentum stopping power will activate when you start your headbash. Headbashing the ground with this shield will also produce a shockwave that can harm enemies.
BATTLEMOD ABILITIES:
- Flameshot - Cost 9 rings. Press the Fire button to have Spyro fire a brief stream of Superflame fireballs. This move is pretty effective in going through enemies, and the flames left behind is dangerous to those without a Flame or Elemental Shield or any other kind of fire protection (including you!). Only available when the BattleMod is loaded.
- Spyro's headbash is able to harm other players in battle mode.
SUPER POWERS:
Spyro can become superpowered when he has all of the Chaos Emeralds.
- "Superfly": Spyro can "fly" by repeatedly pressing the Jump button, he can also immediately get back into a glide after a hover. His descent rate is significantly slower than even the what you get from the Air Shield.
- Superflame: Spyro can shoot these powerful fireballs along with his fire breath without the need of some shield that interferes with his charge move.
- Supercharge: Spyro can supercharge without the need of some crusty old pair of "Super Sneakers".

TIPS:
- Sparx, your dragonfly buddy, is not here to help (yet). Without Sparx's protective magic Spyro is especially vulnerable to the hazards in Sonic's world. The rings can keep Spyro safe from most harm however he is still at risk of drowning, crushing, and other hazards.
- Certain enemies either can only be charged OR flamed, use caution when around enemies. A quiet ping sound will play when you try to torch nonflammable enemies.
- Make sure you commit to Spyro's hover; it's difficult to get back into a glide after a hover.
- Spyro is very slow compared to the rest of the cast, however he makes up the lack of speed with his excellent maneuverability.
- Don't charge or glide into walls you'll bonk and lose time or irreparably mess up your glide.
- Spyro can glide faster (and farther) if you get a charging start.
- Some shields can interfere with Spyro's movement abilities so if you value maneuverability over whatever benefits they provide it would be wise to avoid having a shield on him.
- Think you're stuck and don't know where to go? Try backtracking and search for alternate routes; Spyro can headbash through bustable floors and charge through bustable walls so keep an eye out.
- As a magical dragon, the energy coming from the Black Rock asteroid can enhance certain abilities or give Spyro additional powers. Keep an eye out to see what Spyro can do while on the asteroid, especially around the core..
- The attached .zip file contains a .rtf file with a table of what enemies are chargeable and/or flammable.
Notes, Bugs, Todos, and other Quirks:
- Spyro can reasonably complete all the normal singleplayer maps from all the hours of playtesting and debugging. The challenge maps may require the Bash-Rollout move depending on your preferred route.
- Spyro is (mostly) Multiplayer safe. His flames and charge attack can harm other players (except in Co-op).
- Spyro's headbash won't enhance his bounce momentum and is especially ineffective on springs. Don't try to headbash springs you won't get far.
- Spyro can turn on dime when gliding (and charging when "spyrochargeturn" is set to 0), all ready for exploitation. This ain't right but I can't be arsed to figure out how to fix it.
- Spyro can charge right after a hover even though he normally cannot in his games. You'll feel like a cool fast boi speedrunner once you get it down. You'll then wish you can do that in his normal games.
- Same goes for headbashing, though the Bash-Rollout move mitigates it a little.
- Spyro can can occasionally be hit while charging at an enemy while the enemy is approaching him, it's very noticeable on faster enemies. The enemy's collision procs probably came first before Spyro's procs, not sure what to do about it. Should be fixed in newer versions.
- Spyro's swimming ability is more in line with the base SRB2 rules than Spyro's original games, as in he will sink to the bottom rather than remain still, and cannot stay on the surface of water. You can still charge under water and move pretty fast.
- Hate bonking against walls? Turn it on/off with the "bonk" Console command (wuss).
- Spyro's sprites are relatively large. The game will chug badly when rotating his sprites. Avoid using mods that rotates his sprites like Slope Roll Angle. Should not be an issue in SRB2 2.2.9+.
- TODO(maybe): Better Battlemod support.
- TODO(maybe): Sparx, however he is out of the scope of this project; he'll definitely be a thing when there's a proper Spyro-themed level pack. Until then Sparx is currently restricted to a level in the Summer 2020 OLDC and as set dressing in SRB2: Persona.
- TODO(maybe): More fleshed out elemental breaths and shield support.

- Finally (hopefully) made charging scaling aware and not all zippy when Spyro is resized.
- Hurt messages for Spyro's relevant moves.
- Fixed an issue where Spyro's flames does nothing against other players when paired with Battlemod and Dirk's characters. (Something about Dirk seems to find a way break Spyro's fire breath.)
- Spyro won't try to headbash while being carried. Trying to headbash will do nothing.
- Spyro won't headbash against quicksand FOFs.
- Made it so Spyro's glide cooldown is reset if he is launched via dust devils, steam jets, springs, etc.
- Spyro's flames are officially a MF_MISSILE. Flames can now hit any shootable object unless if they're table.insert'd as non-flammable.

- Force shield now halts horizontal momentum when performing a headbash.
- Metal Sonic Boss is slightly easier, but now fireproof. Spyro's flames will still force Metal Sonic to evade.
- Slight tweaks to how Spyro handles the Egg Colosseum boss. Gave Spyro I-frames after charging Eggman.
- v3.1-
- Super Spyro won't doublejump when on the ground.
- Tweaked some momentum-related movement; aircharging won't insta-stop your horizontal momentum, but instead slowly lower your horizontal speed in exchange for downward momentum.
- Better compatibility with Momentum Mod; Spyro won't speedwalk and his charge speed should be (mostly) uncapped in theory. However the XMomentum mod only seems to actually allow Spyro maintain and gain some high charge speeds.
- Spyro can (briefly) go into a supercharge if he can somehow charge faster his supercharge speed threshold (~50 FU/T), keeping him charging at that speed is another matter to you to figure out.
- Supercharging will spawn dust until Spyro gets into dash mode.
- Tweaked some text for "spyrohelp hints" console command.
- Fixed Spyro shooting/breathing fire while his still in his waiting animation frame.
- Tweaked some animation cues.
- Spyro's snowflake code will be disabled when Battlemod is loaded.
- Fixed Battlemod overriding Spyro's runspeed variable. Spyro will now properly animate while charging underwater.
- Apparently Spyro could not be harmed by damaging floors (lava, spikes, etc.) while supercharging. Not intended so it was tweaked it a bit to be more intentional; Spyro won't be supercharging above death pits anymore.
- Spryo will now be forced into a spin if he's charging on top of a speed pad sector.
- v3.2-
- Spyro's Superflame fireball does explosive knockback now.
- Replaced Superflame fireball explosion flames with a (hopefully) less CPU intensive clone of Brak Eggman's napalm flame crap. Additional stress testing needed..
- Superflame fireball explosion flames will now function like the Elemental Shield flames in that they can harm enemies with it's MF_MISSILE flag.
- Battlemod: Flameshot now costs 15 rings to use and has a 2 second cooldown.
- Shooting bubbles underwater makes bubbly sounds.
- Fixed Spyro bonking up walls with the Wind Shield.
- Spyro can now only breathe fire once per press of the CUSTOM1 button. Set the "spyroholdflame" cvar to "yes" if you want the old-style continue breathing fire when CUSTOM1 is held.
- Fixed Spryo being able to rapid-fire superflame while charging.
- Non-flammability/Non-zappability/Non-chargeablity can now apply to player skins. See example .lua included in .zip for how to add your object/skin to the tables.
- (Rocket) Metal and Mecha Sonic player skins are now fireproof.
- v3.3-
- Changed how Spyro charges enemies. Instead of having to add an enemy to be chargeable, Spyro can charge any enemy that isn't the non-chargeable table. Bonking and other stuff still do their thing.
- Tweaked charging turn radius to be a bit tighter.
- Tweaked charging while in 2D mode to be a little less jank.
- Tweaked the charge jump height to be lower.
- Tweaked Spyro's supercharge speed.

- Fixed some issues when using the bubble shield.
- Fixed Spyro not being able to jump off a rollout rock when or after going underwater with it.
- Spyro can now only vertically aim his breath attacks in first-person view.
- Boss Metal Sonic is now entirely fireproof, Spyro's flamebreath will no longer force Boss Metal Sonic to evade; instead he can be forced to evade by charging at him or using other methods..
- Actually properly implemented bonking against certain non-bonkable enemies.
- Tweaked how Spyro is angled while gliding.
- Spyro's glide slope now factors in low gravity.
- Fixed Spyro being able to "glide" down through vertical wind currents.
- Tweaked some stuff with hurt messages.
- Tweaked how Spyro's normal firebreath works. Instead of starting off with MF_MISSILE it instead gets the flag when it collides with an object that is not in the nonflammable enemy table.
- Battlemod:
- Due to above mentioned tweak Spyro's fire breath shouldn't launch the bashables all over the stage. (Note: Bashables can sometimes still be launched in rare circumstances, usually when a flame gets it's missile flag when it's not supposed to.)
- Disabled Flameshot action; need to figure out how to implement a better move. Can be re-enabled by setting "spyrobattlemode" cvar to 1. Spyro seems OP enough as-is already.

- Spyro will no longer be able to glide immediately after doing his wind breath.
- Spyro will no longer headbash while aircharging.
- Spyro can harm enemies if he's gliding very fast. Will bonk afterwards though.

- Spyro's charge speed is now slightly slower when he's carrying flag.
- Spyro's charge now has a slight windup.
- Spyro's headbash will start out faster and will create a shockwave that can harm enemies and players (in non-coop modes) if he has a Force Shield.
- Forgot that Metal Sonic skin was in the "chargeableBonk" table for testing but I forgot to remove him from there. Should be gone now, whoops.
- Made Flame the Dragon nonflammable.
- Various console variables will now have CV_NETVAR flag due to sync issues.
- Some console variables will print a message to the console when they're changed.
- Moved most global functions to N1024_SPYRO global table.
- New "spyro_controlmode" console variable. Now featuring a simplified control scheme.
- In "Simplified" control mode:
- Spyro can hover while gliding by pressing the jump button again.
- Press the jump button after hovering to headbash.
- This can interfere with Spyro's ghetto "superfly".
- Spyro can breathe fire by pressing the Fire button(left click by default), except in ringslinger/Battlemod.
- In "NormalAndFire" control mode:
- Spyro can breathe fire by pressing the Fire button(left click by default), except in ringslinger/Battlemod.
- In "Simplified" control mode:
- "spyro_controlmode" now defaults to "NormalAndFire", meaning Spyro can now use his breath attacks with the Fire/left mouse button.
- NB: To avoid conflicts, "NormalAndFire" controlmode will functionally become "Normal" mode in ringslinger gamemodes or if Battlemod is loaded and Spyro has a battle ability.
- Battlemod:
- Spyro can harm other players when gliding into them at very high speeds.
- Tweaked charging priority stuff.
- Spyro now has a shield stock of 2.
- Fixed an issue where Spyro could flame while guarding if perfectly timed.
- Firebreath can be blocked if a player is starting a spindash.
- (CE) Firebreath should be blocked by priority 1 moves.. Assuming you only get hit once and not from the other subsequent flames because you got flinched/uncurled.
- (CE) Fixed an issue where shield abilities were activating while charging.
- (CE) Fixed an infinite height combo exploit when hovering after airdodging with the Whirlwind Shield by tweaking the glide cooldown.
- Chaos Mode (Unreleased WIP as of this writing.):
- Added enemies to chargeable/flammable tables.
- The big Face Stabber mid-boss is non-chargeable and non-flammable. It will require assistance, either via Superflame/Elec bolts or another player. It can still be headbashed.
