Editing the Starting Characters' Sprites

Someone's made it so that when you choose Sonic on the character select screen, his sprites are different in-game, like with the SRB2Riders Sonic, they ported it into a normal WAD file and it's the starting Sonic when you upload it. Sorry, I don't know how to describe it...

That...was me. I found the unported wad in a 2.0.1 server then converted the sprites to 2.0. What it does is replaces sprites in sonic.plr. You can't edit Sonic's character stats(Source code modification required) But you can use the sprite names in a new WAD so that Sonic's sprites are replaced.

Wow, that's funny. Until Wolfy came along, all of you guys made it sound like editing sprites was only possible by making your own EXE.

If you only want to replace Sonic without adding a new character, then you make a backup copy of sonic.plr and open it with XWE. Then you can replace the sprites with the ones you want, and test it out right away.

That only works with Sonic, of course. Everyone else needs their own S_SKIN, which will make them a completely new character. So you're actually unable to edit Tails and Knuckles.

I am unsure if he wants to "modify" the game or not.

I figured out how to edit Sonic's sprites... I just make the prefix PLAY... Yeah.
