SONIC WITH DIFFERENT CHARACTER ABILITYS IN SOFTWARE MODE

[Donovan the hedgehog]

I descovered this on a SSB:SS game. How? My friend was somehow muted
and I axidentlly pressed up when opening the console then i typed mute to see if it was muted.
This can be acessed with SSB:SS or Single Player in devmode. Other EXEs are still currentlly being tested

Insted of doing devmode

FAQ

Q: Why does it say

skin tailsmute not found

or

skin knucklesmute not found

or

skin charactermute not found

to all the other players as well as you in a SSB:SS game? Note that character is any character that you type.
A: Cause its in a netgame.

I can do this with MD2 models already.
With regular srb2.

Well nice find.
Not that I need this.:/

But this can be done in software. Open GL only likes Sonic.
Edit: Changed the title

This isn't just the ability, but the skin's stats as well. Meaning if you choose a slow character, Sonic will be slow as well.

Saying the truth, it's simpler. I did:

DEVMODE

SKIN TAILS

SKINTAILSXXXXXX

DEVMODE (***not needed)

... then I got a Tails-Super Sonic.

Seeing it, I'd guess it's a bug that happens when engine doesn't treat correctly "Skin not found" error. "Skin not found" will always happen when you mistype skinname and engine automatically replaces any skin by Sonic's one.

In DEVMODE=ON, if you mistype skinname, that error will happen, current skin is replaced, BUT not abilities. Probably, values of some variables that store abilities aren't being changed due to that error, then abilities remain.

I'm not a good programmer, I don't know C but I know some simpler languages. It's just some thoughts of mine.

EDIT:

PLEASE DON'T MAKE SONIC OVERPOWERED WITH THIS!!!

A bit hard to get some "SONIC OVERPOWERED". It's just a bug that replaces skin only , but not abilities. It's the same char, but with a Sonic's look.

Another way to do this: Add a custom character that has an ability that isn't Sonic's. Save a game. Load the game without that WAD added, and you will have Sonic with that character's ability and color.

Dude, you didn't "discover" this glitch. It's been around since some of the earliest iterations of SSB:SS. All that happens is that the game goes WTFHAX when the skin is changed to one that doesn't exist, so it changes the frames to the default (in this case, Sonic) setting while retaining the abilities of the original character. It's not a "flying sonic", it's just tails abilities slapped on to Sonics frames.


EDIT: I should have read the other posts in this topic beforehand...

 

[light dasher]

I've had it happen without SSBSS ¬.¬ I think I was playing the spazz attack pack with my bro or somthing

If you load a nonexistant skin, it'll revert to sonic's sprites -_-

Read the topic, dude. That's already been said.
