SOCEdit

What is it :?

 

[Rob]

SOC Editing is a special text document or lump file that SRB2 reads, and it changes things like how the game is played, how enemies move, etc. A special tool for making them is in the Source Code folder in SRB2.

 

[Princess Plushima]

To get into more details, SOCs are used for everything from custom enemies, to making characters move on there butts.

 

[Dark Mystic]

I really don't know how to use SOC Edit. How do u use it?

 

[Rob]

I don't know.
How does "u" use it?

If by "u" you mean "you", then again: Look in the Source Code folder.
Make a new text document in the folder SRC, reneme it so Somethingorother.soc. Point the Soc Editor to the SRC folder, and the text document.

 

[SSNTails]

Methinks someone needs to make a STARS about SOCs.

 

[1-Up]

Could socs be used to separate jumping, charging spinning, and spinning sprites?

 

[Rob]

No.

SOCs can do NOTHING about character features. Nothing at all.

 

[Monsteriestyn]

Unless a certain someone made a hard-coded SOCJTE or something, but no such thing.

 

[Rob]

...Did you have to put it in their heads?

 

[Monsteriestyn]

Yeah, so that they'd all get hyper about it and start begging Jason for it, only for him to remind them that he's not ever going to do it : P

 

[Rob]

And manage to get me and everyone else annoyed in the process...

 

[Monsteriestyn]

No way, that will never happen. If it does, I have Mystic and FuriousFox on my back to tell people to shut up on such a crazy idea

 

[SSNTails]

SOCs can adjust character frames, but then all characters would be affected.

 

[Prime 2.0]

...Unless said frames are specific to character abilities, such as knuckles glide/climb, tails flight, or supersonic. Then it only affects characters with the specified ability.

 

[Rob]

No, it would affect the frame number. Whatever you did would have effect on that number, so:
For the first of special frames:
1) Super Sonic alter
2) Tails fly alter
3) Knuckles Glide alter
