I've been working on a model exporter for sadx for some time now, I've gotten it to the point where it will reliably export triangle strip data from an obj file. I need to fix the parser to parse and properly handle the texture coordinates, and integrate OBJ2VT into the main program. once texture coordinates are added, completely custom levels and character models will be very easy to implement.

Use UltraISO to insert these files into a US Sonic Adventure iso. NOT sa international or jp. It should work just fine on real hardware, I play test it on my black sega sports dreamcast.

By the way saz the address for the level segment is wrong on that page, you have 03B22DDC when it really should be 03B22DEC.

If there's stuff wrong on the page, feel free to edit it--the Sonic Retro Wiki uses the old SWS2B member database, and you should have an account there.Nice to see you again, by the way. :)

Thanks, but I was referring to the sonic-cult link saz posted with all the in-game memory addresses. I'll take a look at the wiki though and update things as I go.

Can't run the game in windowed mode on this shitty computer (1.8 ghz processor, 128 mb ram with onboard video) so all I can offer until the next time I use my friend's pc are some texture/ui edits.

Sheesh, ram is like, 60 bucks for 4 gigs, and that might be too much. I hope you mean that was the videocard's ram, because that just doesn't sound possible.

need any help?

Yes actually, I'm looking to revive x-hax as a full team this time.So, I'm making an open call. Anyone who is interested should post their best work in this thread, or talk to me on aim (omgwtfsonic) or msn (dude dot dudeness at gmail dot com). Passionate hackers who know the object layout have the obvious advantage, but I'll need help with textures as well.

you still have your old hosting or do you need some this time around.

lol wut?Below is a list of all sonic/metal sonic's animations. The address the current animation is stored at likes to jump around alot so posting the address would be useless (07315264 is the current offset working for me). You can use these values plus a debugger to find the assembly code in sonic.exe to make your animation swaps permanent.

[khorney]

i was musing this before, but you know the way that old shadow mod had new level geometry, would it be possible to use the extracted '06 levels (i believe Gen has them)? obviously gimmicks etc.. would have to be worked around, but it would make an interesting proof of concept

[Usernamehere]

From what I remember, editing level geometry has the same limitations as editing character geometry, you can only move vertex positions.though that's only from my own experience, it could be possible Dude figured out another way to edit levels, but I doubt it.

[GrandMasterJimmy]

Impossible. SA1/DX has the worst rendering engine known to mankind. It would crash and lag like shit if geometry like that was imported.

If your good enough you can get around limitations like that, or you could try changing the Renderer to a more powerful one.
