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

Post by DarkyBenji »

Hey it's been a long time !

a new update of chao world extended is coming and it's pretty much a big update ! Chao World Extended v6.5

remember chao world extended version 6 ? yeah it's the same version of 5.5 but with many texures garden
but this new one will have many texture but that not only gardens texture, It's complety a new lobby with new chao skin and of course that will use another save file like the mod "black chao mode"

how many lobby ? 8, which means 8 chaosave different so you can have more than 192 chao
of course each lobby will get different chao skin

List of chao lobby coming with Chao World Extended v6.5 :
Blue Lobby : Use the save number 1 (this one do not have different chao skin, because it use the 1st chaosave)
-Space Garden
-Green hill Garden
-Darky Garden


Day Lobby : Use the save number 2
-Sky Garden
-Evening Garden
-Dire Dock Garden


Starlight Lobby : Use the save number 3
-Tropical garden
-Night Garden
-Asteroide Garden


Temple Lobby : Use the save number 4
-Chun-Nan garden
-Jungle Garden
-Snow Garden


Cartoon Lobby : Use the save number 5
-Shrine Garden
-LineLand garden
-Underwhere Garden


Aqua Lobby : Use the save number 6
-Wisp Garden
-HighWay garden
-Cave Garden


Laboratory Lobby : Use the save number 7
-Big Chao garden
-Rainbow garden
-Darker garden (this garden is made by Indythegreat)


Gallery Lobby : Use the save number 8
-Party garden
-Casino garden
-Lava garden


and you can see, there new textures i made, how do they look like ? you will see by yourself

of course the update is not coming with new chao lobby only, there update/new codes !
New Hard Mode Code : Chao Attention :
the chao will lose his happyness if you ignore him

Update Hard Mode Code : More Sick CHao :
-there more chance that a chao can get sick
-cold sick have been changed : if the chao stay so long in the water, he get sick, this doesn't affect swim type

New Detail Code : AI Evolution :
chao with different type act different than the other chao
-Swim chao go to the water more than other chao, can't get cold
-Run Chao go rarely in the water
-Power Chao Can't stop eating
-Chaos Chao/heo/dark will never sleep
-Amy Chao don't need heart fruit for breed (need the code "Chaos and character chao are like normal chao")
-knuckle chao will sleep more than other chao

The main Code "Chao world extended" is updated too :
- chao that don't know how to swim, will (almost) never go to the water
- add 2 new mode : the speed mode and the slow mode

pressing Y (I for kerboard) during the loading screen after pick a character will load the speed mode :
good :
-chao evolve faster
-you don't waste your time
-easy to make chaos chao faster

bad :
-if hard mode code is enable : the difficulty is gonna be insane
-chao can't live longer after evolve because you didn't give enough fruit during his child


Pressing X (U for kerboard) during the loading screen after pick a character will load the Slow mode :
Good :
- you can show your chao to people without any problem/evolution
- if hard mode code is enable : the difficulty will be decreased
- you have time to give many fruit for baby chao so they can live longer after evolve
- you enjoy your old chao before they die

Bad :
- you waste your time if you wait the evolution


and some little update for : Better chao personality, disable animal parts, hunger difficult

Sonic2app.exe is updated too :
- Chaos drive are now powerful

some FAQ :
is the chao eye will be different too for each lobby ?
-> Yes !

is there more lobby in coming ?
- yes, maybe not made by me this time, but by other people, you can check here viewtopic.php?f=33&t=46194
a new list will appear called "Lobby Pack for Chao world extended"
so you can download lobby and install in the mods folder

..but what happen if i select 2 lobby accidentally ?
the game will choose one of the 2 lobby so don't worry, you will not get error save/texture and all

can i still use chao fusion editor with this update ?
of course but be careful what you edit

that's all !
release date : 25/02/2015 (d/m/y)
i will post some screenshots soon

Hey, uh, I would like to ask for a bit of assistance with this mod in terms of coding some of the features of the mod. Mainly the Mega Evolution and the speed up time ones because at the moment the mod really has gotten me in a mood where I really wanna experiment on Chao Breeding, and these tools are incredibly useful, but I just don't understand the process. I've been trying to look for a way to do it myself, but I am having a hard time understanding it all. I hope I'm not bothering you at all asking this.

EDIT AS OF 8:39PM: I figured out what I was doing wrong and managed to resolve it. I'm sorry for wasting time with this!

slow mode, it's the double of the default chao time

are you using Xpadder ? if yes that's why you have problem with the d-pad and this black market code
i use the d-pad for choose the item type and select the item to buy with the joystick

if your joystick work the same way that your d-pad, your gonna have problem

try x360ce, that work better than Xpadder, and you will not get this problem

I second x360ce. I use a Playstation 3 generic controller. Though when it loads it sometimes makes my game freeze so I have to reload. :darkcool:

I was surprised, those Chaos drives are much more powerful! :herosurprise: Leveling up your chao is a breeze now. Depending on your view of the matter, that could make it either too easy, or

just-right, compared to the 4-5 chaos drives it originally takes to get 1 level. I'm not sure if I like it yet, time will tell. :sway: I love the rest of the mod though

I thought the original concept was that animals were powerful but drives were specific. Now animals are only relevant for looks and chaos chao surely?

I'm pretty sure animals are still good for stats. It's just Nobody every cared for Chaos Drives because they barely did anything (and the infinite animal glitch was very slow with them) but now they're useful, from what I see.

Yeah I defidently like the increase in chaos drive effectiveness, my chao will probably reach level 100 in its lifetime for once :D No clue if, since the stats page says "Chaos Drives boost it (the luck stat) twice as fast as animals do," if the luck stat on chaos drives is now supercharged or what. XD The Animals page says that animals give 20% luck, so apparently chaos drives gave 40% luck?? So now that 1 chaos drives gives, like, 100% of a stat, do you get all of the luck? All of it? :::;)

@dracomageat Animals are also good for learnt behaviors which are adorable <3

Choose Medal
This code is hard to use it, but you can choose the medal you want for your chao (only unlocked medal, seeing by the doctor)
let me explain the code:
Spoiler:
all you have to do is pressing X (Blue action for keyboard player) when you enter the chao kindergarten (during the loading screen)

you enable the code and you can choose the medal for your chao

Up : challenge medal
left : hero medal
down : beginner medal
right : dark medal

Y or Switch Action Window button + Up : Aqua medal
Y or Switch Action Window button + Down : topaz medal
Y or Switch Action Window button + Left : Garnet Medal
Y or Switch Action Window button + Right : Peridot Medal

Start /Pause button + Up : Onyx Medal
Start /Pause button + Down : Diamond Medal
It is very hard to use indeed, I can't figure it out. I made a glitch happen while trying though XD I accidentally put my chao down into the kindergarden while entering the doctors office at the same time by pressing the red action key, the stats displayed looked whacked out. It didn't break anything though, my chao's stats were normal by the time I brought it back to the garden. Just thought it would be somethign of interest. Has it been found before?

Here's her regular stats: http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc ... A58D1CB64/
And here's the fake stats when glitched: http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc ... DE151C874/

EDIT: after getting a clipping out of bounds in the lobby glitch, I finnaly got it to switch medals (Sorta,) it's borderline convaluted. First you enter the kindergarden from the Loby, and you press the blue action key as you're fading out and about to go into the black loading screen, hold it down the entire time, and then press the key that represents the medal you want while the character is walking down the path to the kindergarden, then you release it, then release the blue action key last, before the walking cut-scene ends. I got the beginner medal back on, but havent found the way to switch back to my topaz medal yet. Will update when I do.

EDIT 2: Decided to give up on trying to change back to a topaz from a beginner medal using the method. It's just easier to re-win the desired race and it will change your medal back for you, no shenanigans. It was a good idea though :chaohappy:

well this code is on beta (forget to add "beta" like 2p in chao world) but i will find another way to change medal easily

also the moment that you can drop your chao in lobby and kindergarten is a code (..it was a secret code) that allow you to do this

but for stats glitch... that's not a secret and i'm gonna fix in the next update

This mod pack is very great! I'm currently using the Starlight Lobby mod, which prevents Shiny Two-Tone Chao from being incredibly bright, and I like the different gardens in that lobby. Also, thanks to the Starlight Lobby mod, I can verify that Shiny Jewel Chao have the same colors as the ones in the 2004 PC port of SADX.

Regarding the Bright Chao glitch, I noticed that it affects not only Chao that have highlights, but it also affects the Shiny eggshells that have highlights, too. It is like the game remembers to brighten the colors of the Chao and the eggshells, but forgets to place the shiny textures for the Chao with highlights. I wish that I was able to know how to fix the glitch or at least assist with that, but I am completely inexperienced with modding video games.

Have you tried Black Chao mode? That also effects shiny two tones. :darksurprise:
One of my favourite lobbies is the Cartoon lobby.

The Starlight Lobby has an effect that is similar to Black Chao Mode. I do like how the Shiny Two-Tone Chao look compared to when I wasn't using the Starlight Lobby because they aren't so bright and I can actually see their main color. However, the highlights that are usually on the hands, feet, stomach, and the head of the Chao might not be visible in certain cases like the Neutral/Normal Chao.

The Starlight lobby's name is actually "Black chao mode 2". I haven't played around with it much yet so I can't tell some differences. If you find anything interesting feel free to show me. :omochao:

How do you switch between lobbies? What do you mean by saves 2, 3, etc?

EDIT: Nevermind! I forgot to hit 'install loader' oops. Got it working now. Thanks for the amazing mod!
