editing sonic characters

[AkatsukiOwns]

i get how to add, and edit characters but how do i edit the information file for someone who came with the game (sonic)

 

[Jazz]

If I'm not mistaken, the character configuration for Sonic is embedded into the EXE itself.

You should be able to edit all other character's configurations by opening them up in XWE or another wad editor.

try opening the file called sonic.plr in xwe.

Try looking in the EXE in notepad like Jazz said. (be careful not to edit anything in there, if you do srb2 might not work. until you download it again.)

 

[AkatsukiOwns]

where in the folder is the exe notepad?

I'll make this easy for him.

Try looking in the srb2win.EXE...


...in notepad...


...like Jazz said. (be careful not to change any of the text in the notepad window, if you do srb2 might not work. until you download it again.)

Pay extra attention to the Red parts.

Open exe in notepad? Don't do that. You can look though the source code through notepad though. If you want to make the exe though, that is a different story. I suggest that you don't edit it unless you know some programming.

I suggest you make a separate character, modifying a set character will probably annoy people.

When did I ever say that?

 

[AkatsukiOwns]

uhhhh....

srry for being an idiot but all i want to do is get my sonic to go super sonic but the information that lets me do that isnt in the plr file and the setting to go super sonic is off

 

[Kaysakado]

Sonic can already go super. :/

Alright.

1)Copy srb2.srb into another folder
2)rename it to srb2.wad
3)open in xwe
4)go to sprites
5)search SUPTIO
6)save as into folder
7)then put it in your wad!
edit:
8) make sure before you add the
transformation in your wad you
go to lumps and put S_START
load them and put S_END at the end
of your sprites or they wont work.

Simple. No?

 

[Cro]

Heh.. I wanna edit the actual sprites of the sonic characters. There anyway to do that?

 

[on Edge]

While it's possible, that would be a recolor. Link to rules.

 

[Cro]

Yeah, so? I Wasn't planning on posting it or making a game character out of it. I just wanna know how to do it. xD

Image > Export in XWE.
Export all the sprites in the appropriate plr file. Make sure to back it up first, before opening it. Then edit the sprites and put them in a new wad. Add the wad, there you go.

 

[Cro]

I see, made a mistake like that already. My whole game crashed.. xD Stupid me.
