3P Shadow the Hedgehog Mod Test dreamsyntax 2024-08-18 | We experimented with getting the fabled "4P" shadow working.This is just getting the player structs to behave and the controllers split up.Unfortunately spawning 4 players is causing weird NaN camera behavior, but spawning 5 players works... Still figuring that out.There is a LOT to do to get multiple screens, and even then it will probably run awful. So don't get your hopes up on this. It'll be interesting to see if we can even make a 4P battle mode as JMan wanted.
Spline Test 3 dreamsyntax 2024-08-08 | AAT must be 0 for final vert in every spline.Also it seems to control the 'general rotation' that shadow starts in, then the other RotXYZ values are for tweaking for upside down splines etc.

Odd Partner Behavior at The Dooms Spawn dreamsyntax 2024-01-28 | There is no object at spawn.My best guess is, since objects spawn at origin, there is a pending target item waiting there, thus Knuckles goes wild.Also, interestingly it seems P1's camera is what determines what angle the partner will attack from, which is why Knuckles ends up breaking an object after I rotate the camera a bit.

Westopolis - All GEO as COLI (64MB Stable) - Shadow The Hedgehog (Dolphin) dreamsyntax 2023-12-11 | Proof of concept that its stable even with all geo as coli.Note this is still 400% OC because the new collision has an intense CPU requirement with all the new calculations it must make with complex collisions.This was the first successful test with objects not removed.

all enemies all weapons test dreamsyntax 2023-12-06 | setidbin limit testing with 64mb ram shadow.verifying for integration with shadowrando randomizing enemies/weaponsMost of the enemies swapped did spawn, but some did not or broke (the BkNinja mid-air).Gold Worm, Blue worms, did not spawn (bad params).Some of the hawks malfunctioned.But overall when the issues are ironed out this can be integrated as a rando option.It will be a bit less chaotic since we still have to make sure missions are passable (so GUN pools may only randomize with GUN enemies, for example).Weapons should be easy enough with 64mb, but obviously rip console.Use custom playback speed of 0.4 if you want normal speed, but nothing much is going on.

2023-10-20 - Sims2DSRPG State dreamsyntax 2023-10-21 | Prototyping a recreation in Godot for fun.A lot of shader issues (some godot shader specific, they look fine in Blender). For now I am ignoring visual stuff in favor of implementing game logic first.I finished all the rooms + base collision (there will be fixes needed), and then started portal connections for a few rooms, with their doors. Scalable interaction system is done. Player Camera culling (to cut things behind player obstructing view), Inventory system, Time system, NPC (wander logic), Mood Mini-game, Mission System (including random events, guest events etc) is next.If you are somehow reading this description, yes I am going to port this map as a Shadow the Hedgehog stage for the "how to make custom levels in shadow", this is a Shadow channel after all.
Goodbye Forever, Stutter the Hedgehog (Dolphin Stutter in Shadow/Unleashed Fixed) dreamsyntax 2023-10-10 | * Only for x86_64 CPU (basically most computers); Android/ARM builds not improved (yet)* Or I guess I should say, one less stutter type. @JYR34689 pointed out 8x SSAA still causes lag from the FX at the bottom of Westopolis intro. This is not technically a 'stutter' where the JIT clears - but I can see how it is perceived as such since its not great user experience. The JIT clear issue is fixed in the new Dolphin builds. Maybe some day GPU optimization or something for 8x SSAA.dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/410ec835756e82152e064f224520c1e1cbabef89
