This guide will cover how to fix the Spring Yard Zone (Act 1) Project File on SonED2 from crashing when trying to save it...


Have you ever tried to edit syz1.sep in SonED2 but when you try to save the level, SonED2 just crashes... Well lots of people say it a bug in SonED2 but it really isn't, there's just something wrong the project file (.sep). It's a very easy fix, all you have to do is:


1.) Go into your "project" folder in your Disassembly and open syz1.sep with any text editor.


2.) You should get this:

Code:

Type: 1	



Zone ID:    0

Act ID:     0



Object Def: objdef\s1obj



8x8 Tiles: ..\artnem\8x8syz.bin



16x16 Tiles:   ..\map16\syz.bin



256x256 Tiles: ..\map256\syz.bin



FG Layout: ..\levels\syz1.bin

BG Layout: ..\levels.old\syzbg.bin



Objects:       ..\objpos\syz1.bin



Palettes-



 Number of files: 2



  Palette 1-



   Start index:        0

   Number of entries: 16

   File:              ..\pallet\sonic.bin



  Palette 2-



   Start index:       16

   Number of entries: 48

   File:              ..\pallet\syz.bin



Angle Array:             ..\collide\anglemap.bin

Collision Array:         ..\collide\carray_n.bin

Rotated Collision Array: ..\collide\carray_r.bin



Collision Index 1: ..\collide\syz.bin



-EOF-

And for another example "ghz1.sep"

Code:

Type: 1	



Zone ID:    0

Act ID:     0



Object Def: objdef\s1obj



8x8 Tiles: ..\artnem\8x8ghz.bin



16x16 Tiles:   ..\map16\ghz.bin



256x256 Tiles: ..\map256\ghz.bin



FG Layout: ..\levels\ghz1.bin

BG Layout: ..\levels\ghzbg.bin



Objects:       ..\objpos\ghz1.bin



Palettes-



 Number of files: 2



  Palette 1-



   Start index:        0

   Number of entries: 16

   File:              ..\pallet\sonic.bin



  Palette 2-



   Start index:       16

   Number of entries: 48

   File:              ..\pallet\ghz.bin



Angle Array:             ..\collide\anglemap.bin

Collision Array:         ..\collide\carray_n.bin

Rotated Collision Array: ..\collide\carray_r.bin



Collision Index 1: ..\collide\ghz.bin


-EOF-

Now, notice that all the directories look the same except for the BG Layout:in ghz1.sep it says:

Code:

BG Layout: ..\levels\ghzbg.bin

But in syz1.sep it says:

Code:

BG Layout: ..\[b]levels.old[/b]\syzbg.bin

Now see the difference? (besides the fact that one is ghz.bin and the other one is syz.bin). That the Green Hill Zone (Act 1) directory is: levels\ghz.bin



But, Spring Yard Zone (Act 1) is: levels.old\syz.bin



Now when you look in your Disassembly you see that there is a "levels" folder but not a "levels.old" folder, werid...



3.) So all you have to do is:



change:

Code:

BG Layout: ..\[b]levels.old[/b]\syzbg.bin

into:

Code:

BG Layout: ..\[b]levels[/b]\syzbg.bin

4.) After this save the syz1.sep project file in your text editor & tryout the new project file.


5.) Open SonED2 and load syz1.sep and just save the project file, and if you see something like this at the bottom of the screen, and the program doesn't crash...





Then you know that you did it correctly, obviously... =P


Now, you can edit and save Spring Yard Zone (Act 1) with no crashes!


Thanks For Viewing...

EDIT: I changed almost everything I basically typed, and made it look more "clean".


I typed like an idiot back then... ^^'

 

This is what I have searched, thanks Carrasco!

 

your very welcome!!! glad i can help!!!

 

sorry for double posting.......did it on accident!!!

 

I don't think it's absolutely nessacary to give credit, it's a mistake on Quickman's/Stealth's part. I mean it's simple as changing a line of text. Though useful, some people could of worked it out themselves.


But enough trolling, new people to hacking should find this useful for editing. I mean, people would wonder why their stuff isn't saving

 

Yup, your right... I'm was just an idiot back then...


EDIT: Changed my entire post...

Thank you so much for putting up this guide. That SYZ 1 error was so irritating.

 

Sure anytime!
