Forgot to post this here. =P Its back again, S2SMTP, the oldest hack that is still actually being worked on. :P So far I have 3 levels completed EHZ, ARZ, CPZ. The hack is nothing more than a Layout/light asm hack. For those of that do not want to wait for v.5 here is a link to v.4:http://www.fileden.c...S2SMTP%20V4.binI will probley be releasing V.5 sometime in a few weeks.Now for some screenshots:

New feature: Bonus StageStart by bringing 75 rings to a starpost:

You will be taken here:

Use the objects to move around and get rings:

You leave the bonus stage by touching the top or bottom of the level and get taken back to the starpost:

I was never one for making up good titles/names. (look at the hack's name =P )Green Greens was thought up because the green/green palette.Toxic factory was thought up by UltimaAquatic mine was because I tried making the layout like an underwater mine =P ( this level's name may be moved onto Mystic cave instead)Ice Cap is Ice cap =P May change this if I can think of one..and Big shell was thought up by a friend, based on MGS2..So really if I could think of better names I'd change them. =P

[Barnaby]

Wow, this looks pretty cool, I await a release. And how about the name Russian Roulette Zone or Blackjack Zone for CNZ?

[smtp]

Bump. New level:

Death Egg Zone

And I have uploaded a few Youtube videos:Green Greens Act 1 - Hard - KnucklesGreen Greens Act 1 - Easy - Sonic & TailsAquatic Ruin Act 1 - Normal - KnucklesQuestions? Comments?

I honestly don't know anything about hacking, but would it be feasible to make the music slow down when you get slow shoes (as in the Knuckles video) instead of speeding up? Also, it seems like the timer for the shoes was less than the timer for the music...

[smtp]

About Knuckles speeding up before the music slowed was a glitch in the timing, Its fixed now though.It is definatly possible to make a slow down effect for the music. I'm currently in the process of making it...

Good work. Certainly looks like a solid project to me.

[Overlord]

I love the Bonus Zone. =P One question, tho' - what do the Rings with the character initial in do? =)
