This is a basic pallet hack. It is going to have some level editing and some Hex work but NO ASM.

Here are some screens so far.


Autumn Hill Pallete with a little art edit in Plane B


Acid Missile Pallet.


Acid Missile Underwater Pallet.

I am currently working on the remaining pallets, so bear with me, ok?

Feedback and Suggestions?

Thanks!

Word of advice, if you're not going to do ASM (which to be fair, isn't that hard), chuck some new art in, otherwise people aren't going to want to play this. I've lost count of the amount of "Autumn Hill Zones" i've seen. Try some new art like i said, and then post some more sceenshots.

[Chaos Hedgie]

I think I speak for half this board when I say that pallete hacks are gay, and old, and no one really gives a shit about 'em anymore. Art hacks are good though.

[PsychoSk8r]

The Autumn Hill zone pallet isn't too bad, it's nOt bad at all really. You're a few years too late if it's just a pallet hack. I remember when a pallet hack amazed everyone =P

[Armada]

Sorry Sephy, but this hack is in fail mode. Get some ASM knowledge, try S1 first, it's pretty easy.

[Sephiroth]

I am doing level edits and also Art (not so important in comparison to the level) and I am trying to learn ASM bt I just don't get how the commands actually do anything. I just don't get it. If anyone could help me though, then that would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Armada, I tried Sonic 1 with ASM.... that didn't go to well. I couldn't get the damn ROM o build and there was nothing wrong with anything in my coding (because I copied word for word pretty much).

Double post, eek.

This is important, so it's worth it.

I have deleted all reminiscents of this hack and starting fresh with SonEd2. That means the whole shabang for this hack. ASM, Art, levels, pallets, the lot.


Anyone who is interested in helping drop me a PM! (Mainly Beta Testers)

As soon as I get the .tlp files (made a topic about that elsewhere) then I will start.

I thought that a double post would be better than just making a new topic. No point.

[insulfrog]

It looks like I'm not the only one doing Autumn Hill for Sonic 2's first zone, are you trying to copy my hack Sephiroth?

It looks nice but there is only minor colour differences between my hack and your hack. I do suggest that you try a different theme, as it looks like you have copied a hack and modified it.

[Thundertimi]

why you dont try something like: swamp hill zone, toxic zone... i mean something green,gray and brown.

[Sephiroth]

Ok, Insulfrog, I'll start fresh with entirely new levels and pallets so it doesn't look like yours, ok?

Update:
I have added the Sonic 3 Egg Prison, Mecha Sonic and Signpost and the Sonic CD Life Counter (all from SCAA, credit to JcFerggy and DNXDelta for making the art in the archive.)

Just about to start work on the level art now.

And remember, if you wanna help as a beta tester or anything then drop me a pm.

[Sephiroth]

UPDATE: (Double Post *le gasp!*)

MAJOR CHANGES
Modified around 75 percent of the pallets.
Added a new way to enter the special stage (deactivated the star poles, and no, it isn't a ring hidden in the level.)
More info on that at a later release...

WHAT'S TO COME?
Sonic CD Spindash
Maybe Peelout
More Characters

[Sephiroth]

Thank you! It's only pallet work on EHZ so far. Going to implement level art soon.

Beta release coming soon!

Seph, you may be a fag, but most of those palettes are awesome. I just don't like Sonic's palette, it's too dark. And I swear there's already another hack with the SK Mecha Sonic. X_X

[Sephiroth]

Yeah, Epsilon.
I'm pretty sure I told SOTI where to get it though...
Anyway!
Expect a beta with EHZ layouts done by the end of the week!

And yes, Superior, I fixed Sonic's Pallete.

Okay, I hope it's fixed and not shitbagged. X_X

[Sephiroth]

No, it isn't shitbagged, it's back to basics for that pallete. Back to the original.

[GasparXR]

Oh. I thought you meant you changed it but still had a new pallette.
