Chao World Extended also have it own Chao island Wiki Page!
This is probably the Best place to get any single details of the Mod, knowing which feature do what, and how to use it.
However, unlike Gamebanana, the Wiki can be outdated if a new version recently release, but don't worry! it will take time to update~

this is p cool

if only i had a pc to play sa2 on

Spoiler:

This IS pretty neat! :D
As you can see, I'm trying to work on a minecraft texture mod, the only problem is that the leaves and flora refuse to stay alpha-channeled, making the area around them black. Any ideas on what I can do to fix that?

i don't know what do you use for edit texture/image but i made a tutorial about texture here
if you use photoshop or someting you can acces to "channels", try to check the alpha channel if he's here or not
if not, creat and edit it, black = invisible, white = visible

hope that help
(btw nice garden!)

I've done both, and neither have worked.
I'll try and see if there's some kind of forum post on the Nvidia forums that'll help.
(thanks~)

Did you try to disable Mipmaps ? (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=44337)
sometime mipmaps make the alpha texture problem for some reason

Oh!
I hadn't thought of that. I'll try that out next time I'm making a texture. Thanks~

Also, I have an ATI card, so I can make a tutorial for it if you want.

[Crash32]

Neat.

[FrankT]

Now this is some interesting stuff! I'll load it up and give it a whirl, see what happens.

I'm thinking - can you make it so that Chao might cry when they trip over or try to swim when they can't or chance an encounter with jack-in-the-box or possibly coming out worse in a karate match?
Come to think of it, is it possible to code them to tear up in your arms when their cry meter is up? Possibly tear up in the karate arena?


(I'm a tear vampire.)


Possibly get the exclusive animations into the gardens somehow...?

Or is that being too extravagant?

[Mamkute]

These look beautiful, in concept and application.

Although I don't have SA2 HD, still, much applause to.
I am very curious on the 3rd/"Mega" evolution.

i guess i can't for chao cry after drown (or jack-in-the-box) cause i don't the value animation (or that don't exist)

for karate... it's possible, and like the animation, i need to find the value.. and i know this one exist... so it's possible ! i guess

i have a idea.. but i hope that will work like i want

here a small preview of the code : more than 99lvl


yep.. when the level go to 99.. he go back to 00 so you can level up your chao again !
and again.. and again but the stats will stop to 4000

[BlackLuigi7]

Do you think it would be possible to add new, harder races? I don't even know where to look for the files that load up specific chao and levels for each race, but in theory we should be able to at least change the parameters, and at most add new chao in. It would go really well with your "overlevelling" mod, as races are pretty easy to complete.
Is there a problem with the chao flying off stage/disappearing during the race? I remember my hacked chao, at high enough levels, would go zooming out of the skybox when it jumped off a ledge.

[DarkyBenji]

i guess i can harder the race if i found the other chao value
but add it's very different so i guess it's not possible

Is there a problem with the chao flying off stage/disappearing during the race?

No, the game stop the stats at 4000.. so you're chao can't break the race

[FrankT]

for karate... it's possible, and like the animation, i need to find the value.. and i know this one exist... so it's possible ! i guess

That'll be dandy.

Now - since the option is available to me, I'd like to push my mod packs out here. That's allowed, right?
Here they are

And... here's a second thing: when it said that the Better Chao World mod would "add more object for hero and dark garden", I thought it meant it'd place the rocking horse, television and/or radio in all of them - but no, it says here. "edit the object placement". But... putting all the toys in all the gardens is possible, right...?

No. sadly no

[FrankT]

Oh. That's a shame.

[FrankT]

In fact, how does this coding thing work? I'd like to give it a try myself.

[krzys2]

Darky Benji I was very suprised with textures but what you do with this is JUST AWESOME this is super good work keep working! this is awesome ideas and good moding

thx

also, i finish more sick chao, more level, mega evolution acces code it's gonna be hard for other code to make

In fact, how does this coding thing work? I'd like to give it a try myself.

use notepad++ and open code.xml... if you're good a hex edit, you can try

[FrankT]

...no, you're going to have to step me through it; I have NO idea what any of that code stuff means. Is it possible to change mouth configurations outside of idle states?

[BlackLuigi7]

...no, you're going to have to step me through it; I have NO idea what any of that code stuff means.?

You might need to take some online classes/tutorials on how to HEX edit and use unpacking tools.

Is it possible to change mouth configurations outside of idle states?

If you mean what their mouths look like when they're crying/angry/etc, it's possible. It'd be the same as changing the idle stairs, except your looking for the "angry" mouth, etc., and changing those. Texture editing is a lot less work than coding, to be honest. ^^;

I've already made a texture pack, I just want to alter the code to make them appear!
