For the black chao mod, I think you should make blue eyes for hero chao and black eyes for dark chao, because I can't see black eyes on a black hero chao.

the difference is that the battle version is a DLC that add chao karate and multiplayer battle.

in this mod there some codes that you need DLC like "Chao karate have Medal" that give the chao a medal if he win the chao karate

you're not forced to buy DLC for enjoy the mod

I'm confused about how the mega/monster evolution works, could anyone explain that? Also, I cannot get any of the character chao.

Mega/Monster evolution is basically extensions of second evolution in that chao keep growing. It starts once one of your chao's stats reach 2500 *Normal color'd chao go transparent sadly* For example:

Before
Image

After

Image

*Final picture is of Chaogardenbusters chao, first is from chao island*

Character chao you get the same way as chaos chao, all animals, and happiness +80. The difference is after the 24 animals for tails chao start giving flying animals, knux chao: power, exc.

So does the Mega/Monster evolution just take a while? Maybe I was just being impatient. As for the character chao, I did all that and they still evolved into the basic chao, not the character. I was using the fusion chao editor, could that be the problem? I set them to 2 reincarnations, max happiness, gave all animals then set them to their respective stat (so it would evolve to a fly for tails)

-> don't worry, we can't see tails, knux, and amy chao from the cocon if you think you do is kinda correct just leave the garden and go back and your fly chao will become a tails chao
also for mega evolution, be sure he's completely on 2nd evolution, then wait ~3 minutes in the garden with him

I made sure he was fully 2nd evolved, and waited ~10 minutes, still nothing.

As for character chao, I did leave the garden and return, still nothing again.

Is it because I installed the mods on a used chao save file, not a brand new one?

or are you sure you installed correctly the mod ?
are you sure one of the stats reach 2000 ? (like mega chao neut/run/run need more than 2000 on run)
are you sure you give all animals to your chao + 2 reincarnated and then give him fly before evolve ?

I'm sure his stat is over 2000, and im sure i gave him all animals and the 2 reincarnations and fly. I probably did install it wrong, I'm new to modding. I opened SA2ModManager, checked the boxes I wanted then hit "install loader" and "save and play"

Hi Benjy, I wanted to commend you for making such an excellent mod. :chaohappy:
But I noticed that some of the mouths the Chao can get with the Chao Faces code look a bit... borked. Fusion's Chao Editor labels these as 'Straight Moustache' and 'Squiggly Moustache 1'. I'm guessing these mouths were just not meant to be used. :/

I got the mega evolution to work, it was not working because I was using the fusion chao editor. Manually raising their stat to 2000 worked. This means that the character chao probably work also, just have to wait for it. Thanks for the help. I was also wondering, how did you get the color of the chao named "Crimson" on page 1? Is that a color added with the mod? I can only ever get red and pink.

Crimson it's a a red shiny chao from the mod "Black chao mode", shiny colors chao in black chao mode give some nice chao colors

Re: [SA2 MOD] Chao World Extended v5.5 : Better Chao World !

Post by DarkyBenji »

Hi,
so you can notice that the mod pack chao world extended go to v5.5 because the v6 was a texture update but with all the other texture i'm going to make (i'm not alone, other players will do too) the pack will be very long to upload

the new code are still here, it's ony the textures that was removed (Garden, Lobby and chao skin)

so what you should do now ? nothing of course you don't need to redownload the mod :heroblink:
the v5.5 it's exactly the same version of v6.1, without textures

where's my textures ? here : viewtopic.php?f=33&t=41026

why i do this ? because i want to make more textures and i will not update chao world extended because i made a new texture than code and special stuff

that mean that you can profit new texture in the futur by waiting a new chao world extended update!

What about customizing the stat gains and losses from the TCG fruits? I think chao are not getting the right amount of nutrition for these fruits, this method of progression need to taken into account with the stat multiplier.

Can't you make a code to use any of your own chao in a chao karate match?

Sorry, had to bump this up because Interleague play is not available in the PC version. It sucks that you can't play this on a LAN connection, much less a server.

I have some questions, I don't speak english, so maybe I miss something, I searched solutions in all the post befor asking here, but I don't get the solution, I have installed the mod but I can't get it works.

I can't select the characters before enter to the garden, I use a Acteck gamepad with the "JoyToKey" software, because I don't have a Xbox gamepad, so "JoyToKey" synchronizes the key board with my gamepad, L and R buttons are configured in the Q and E keys... on the keyboard, but when I use this keys, it doesn't load the alternative characters (Tikal, Amy, Etc.) I tryed to push the keys in select stage menu, after select the chao garden, before select de character and also in the lobby, and holding the keys at the same time that I select the character... the "code" is active in the SA2ModManager, but nothing, i have the same problem with the D-pad in the black market, what I am doing wrong?

Thats the first thing, the second thing and last is:

I try to load some textures for my gardens, I don't know if the Drak and Hero gardens works because they're still hiding in my lobby, however, the neutral garden change, but the lobby still have the "vanilla" texture, I try to load it putting it in the ADX and PRS folders of the game and the mod, and I try to load the textures like mods, puting in the "mods" folder and activating it with the ModManager... but nothing works, not with the lobby...

Also, I lost my save game of chao garden, Before install the mod, I had four chaos and I don't know why, but now I have only one, but he's a chao that I had long time ago, It's like the mod has returned my garden to the past... I need go back... to the future... jeje... 2015... anyway.

Looks like nothing works of the mod in my game, I think that is because the folder, I have my game installed outside of the steam folder... so maybe thats it... but I need to know if there's a chance that I made a mistake and nothing works because of that. :herocry:

I don't speak english too, so it's ok i guess

1 - sadly some code in the mod are not compatible with keyboard control for the moment, maybe in the next update if i found i way to fix that

2- the portal texture in the chaolobby are not in the garden texture file but in the chaolobby file, that explain why the portal didn't change in the chaolobby when you select a texture for the gardens, the only way for have custom portal is edit the texture of chao lobby but i have to make many many chaolobby because there's many texture for garden
btw for some chaolobby texture you need to unlock all gardens for unknow reason

3- chao world extended NEVER edit the main save, but creat another save somewhere than C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sonic Adventure 2\resource\gd_PC\SAVEDATA if you enable some mod like "Black chao mode"

so :
- did you enable the code "Chaos and character chao are like normal Chao ? you probably leave the chao world and save in the garden and not by using the "exit" in chao lobby then you disable this code.. and this happen, you can fix it by enable this code back and go to the chao world then leave by using the chao lobby exit

- if it's a no steam version did you run the game in administrator ?

4- i never tried the mod in sa2 outside steam so i can't help you with that for the moment, i must check that

Not sure if anyone has already suggested it but what about a way to disable hero/dark characters from changing the chao to hero and dark by petting and other actions and instead have to use hero/dark fruit like in Sonic adventure DX.

it would provide more use for hero and dark fruit and make it much easier to keep a chao neutral instead of having to keep swapping characters. :D

Don't quote me in case I'm wrong, but I think fusion's chao editor already lets you do this.

idk if it's possible to do this but i will try :wink:

@BlackLuigi7 : Chao fusion editor can't "froze" the value so you can't really keep the chao neut except open the program each time

*Claps* Still love this mod You have done well
This needs more color in life!

wanna fly high
So I can reach the highest of all the heavens
Somebody will be
Waiting for me so I've got to fly higher

When all alone in my sleep
I just go about dreaming
I see myself there, having the same adventure
