[SA2PC MOD] Chao World Extended: The Biggest Chao Mod.

[DarkyBenji]

Ah! Okay, thank you! Is there any way to force nighttime/daytime or is it random? I'm noticing daytime far more than any other time of day in the gardens.

it change when you leave/enter a garden (not chao world)
but it also depent how long you stay in the garden

don't forget that there a code called "Fruits Never Disappear" and this is sadly not compatible with Chao world Time/weather (he make the game stuck to day)
i say that because maybe you enable it too

Ah, yup that's the problem. I have that code enabled. Thanks for the help!

I've noticed that Chao World Extended is somewhat incompatible with the Trial Sonic mod, that gives Sonic back is normal shoes, doesn't work sometimes.
Everything is fine when it works. Example
When it doesn't work however, all of the textures get jumbled. Example
For instance, among many other things, Sonic's eye texture is inside his eyes.

Actually, when configured a certain way in the mod loader, Chao World Extended and Trial Sonic both work fine.
But I disabled the Sonic mod to play boss battles, since the game crashes with the Sonic model (I was told it's because doesn't have a mouth).

When I re-enable it, Sonic's textures get ruined/misplaced.

Also, is there a way to use the Dreamcast textures without changing any other aspect of the game? I don't really like having the music play in different places
than the GameCube version. Or the level start sound.

I still keep crashing when entering the chao garden in the evening or night, I have the "Fruits never Disappear" disabled, but still poop!

remove the ADX folder in mods\ChaoWorldExtended\Dreamcast\gd_PC to not get music play in different places

also for Sonic trial mod, be sure this mod is AFTER Chao world extended in the modloader list (use the arrow on the right to move it)

that should work

check in mods\ChaoWorldExtended\gd_PC\PRS if you have all the textures file of weather/time

and all the bin file


if you have everything but still got crash, disable Chao World Time/Weather Change
then go to chao world and save
enable Chao World Time/Weather again
that will reset the time and maybe load the texture file correctly

[Sim_Chao]

Crash on Chao World startup, still.

UPDATE: Nvm, Console was making it act up.

UPDATE 2: Maybe, you need to activate that code first before anything else after. Other than Chao World Extended.

You know, this may actually be a GeForce Driver issue, rather than an install issue. nvd3dum.dll is failing on me from time to time. I don't know how to fix the issue, a clean install might fix it. But then again, my OS might not be compatible with SA2B. Heck, it's Windows 10, it was more stable on Windows 7. OOH! That must be it, it's both! My OS and GPU Drivers are causing the game to crash at unexpected times. Any fixes for both issues, I mean, where do I start?

I use Windows 10 Pro, running on Intel Core i5 Processor, with Graphics powered by an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960. Most recent Error log involving sonic2app.exe:

UPDATE: Another factor might be how up-to-date your Direct X 9.0c Drivers are. If there's even one pickle out of place or short a byte, it could affect the stability of the game.

Run the game with the Integrated Graphic Processor instead.

Why? I just installed my Graphic Tablet. Besides, Sega PC titles are always faulty, it's hit-or-miss whether it wants to run or not.

UPDATE: After running the No "Battle" Mod, the 50/50 crash became no more.

UPDATE 2: I have a request for a Hero Garden Retexture. For all the Skyrim fans, can you make a Sovngarde Garden in place of the Hero Garden?

Hello! I found out about your mod recently and was excited to use it with my copy of SA2 on steam.

At first I was having a lot of crashing with anything Chao World related (entering Chao World, entering the garden, leaving the garden, entering the kindergarten, leaving the kindergarten, etc.), but I think it was caused from also using a separate face mod you had as after I removed it the crashing stopped.

However there's still some crashing outside of the garden, and I think the ability to drop Chao and items outside of the gardens might be the reason. Is there a way I could disable or remove that feature?

sadly no, and i don't thinks that's this problem
little question, did you enable console in modloader ? because that give a high chance to crash with console on, for some computer

[Chapon93]

Yeah I have console enabled.

disable the console, and test to see if you still crash or not

[kahethesabercat]

bit of a dumb question, ive been following your project for awhile but just got sadx and sab2 for my pc via steam, i really like the mod so far, but i was curious about the other chao gardens. you have screenshots of multiple AMAZING looking ones. i was curious if there was a way we could get ahold of those or if your going to eventually release them?
and sorry about the stupid questions. literally just signed up.

I've never used mods before. New to the whole PC gaming thing. But I'm not dumb, I figured out how to get the files in the right place and check the boxes of the codes and mods I want (or need) to use. I didn't see a change. So I fuggured I needed to click the little button that said "Install Loader." Don't know if that's right, but I did it. That crashes the game before it even boots.
So I'm doing something wrong. Anyone wanna help a noob.

Either I'm looking in the wrong place,

Or maybe it's because I don't have the Battle DLC (It cost extra and I'm frugal)

[chaoadventures]

While I don't know the problem, you definitely don't need the Battle DLC. Just so you don't buy even if you don't actually want it.
And your steps seem correct.

did you enabled console ? because some computer need console enabled to not crash (like CGB)
if you enabled the console but you still crash, try again without the console enabled, maybe the console crash your game (like me, sometime)

if you still crash, disable console and try to launch the game with different resolution (try fullscreen mode for example)

Thanks for the suggestion. It didn't work.

I tried with and without "console" checked. I tried changing the resolution, and that did nothing. I actually messed around with it a little too much and somehow corrupted the actual game file--it stopped working all together. I fixed that problem, but at this point I think I'll just give up. It's not worth it.

Thank you for you help, though.

Im having issues starting up with this mod. I clicked install loader then "Save & Play"
Asked me if I wanted to launch sonic2app and I said yes
And then.. nothing. I tried again, nothing.
Since I clicked install loader can I just open it from steam?
