Sonic Frontiers - Cyber Space Without the Effects PTKay 2022-12-01 | I was recently playing around with the RFL files of each stage in Sonic Frontiers, and I noticed that a lot of the effects were controlled in these files. For curiosity, I decided to disable all the special effects from the cyber space stages in Sonic Frontiers, and I ended up really liking the end result, which has a more cleaned up presentation. However, the effects give the stages their own visual identity, so I'd still prefer playing with them enabled.Here's me playing through 3 different stages with the effects disabled, so you can see what it's like. It may not be very noticeable on YouTube, but it's really clean when you're playing it yourself.Want to try this on your machine? Make sure to turn on the following HedgeModManager codes:- Disable Vignette- Disable Chromatic Aberration- Disable Cyber Space CRT EffectsTimestamps:0:00 - Cyber Space 1-21:00 - Cyber Space 2-63:00 - Cyber Space 4-2

I am playing Sonic 06 PTKay 2021-10-19 | Small video showcasing my WIP Sonic '06 HUD mod that's being developed alongside brianuuuSonic and HyperBE32. This has been dormant for quite some time now, as we're waiting for Shuriken (the HUD editor tool) to be completed. Trust me, working with XNCP through a binary template is painful. Also no, there is no release date planned, but it won't be anytime soon.In case it wasn't noticeable, I'm using brianuuu's '06 Definitive Experience mod as well as playing through a stage from his '06 Project mod.

Sonic Generations - Sonic Forces HUD & UI PTKay 2021-05-23 | After almost half a month of work, the Forces HUD mod for Sonic Generations is here!

Sonic Generations - Unleashed Objects and Custom Materials Release PTKay 2020-06-10 | After 3 months since the original showcase, it's here.This is just a collection of some simple material edits and object porting from Unleashed. The material edits were done individually and aimed at replicating a bit of the original Unleashed materials. The ported objects are directly from Unleashed, alongside their original materials.Of course some of you may like these edits, other may not, but in the end it falls to personal preference. I'd appreciate your thoughts no this in the comment section though.-------------------------------------------------DOWNLOADSGoogle Drive: drive.google.com/file/d/1RfqxdnL6lyXflpKYBynfax2ciMfRGMsr/view?usp=sharingGameBanana: gamebanana.com/effects/6483-------------------------------------------------NOTES• This mod may be incompatible with MarioTainaka's Jason Griffith voice mod (The Real Jason Griffith Voice Mod) due to some files being present in both mods. If you wish to use this mod alongside that voice mod with gameplay sounds, please download this version instead: gamebanana.com/skins/176688
Sonic Generations - Unleashed Objects Showcase PTKay 2020-02-26 | Finally decided to dedicate a whole video to this.What you see on the video are some ported common object models from Unleashed, alongside some custom materials applied to both objects and some enemies, mainly the Egg Fighter and the Spannner/Spinner. The aim of the edited materials is to give the models that use them a bit of the Unleashed look without porting the shaders themselves, although, of course, this will look different than the original game. In other words, expect increased specular.I've also decided that, for this mod, I'll keep some Generations models due to them being either more detailed or better than the Unleashed counterpart (for example, the spinner and spanner models).As for the Perfect Chaos boss fight being in this video, it's mostly because the materials tend to look really good under those light conditions.Also on another note, excuse me for the horrible video quality. This video took me a whole afternoon to upload, so blame YouTube.Oh yeah the Unleashed Drift thingy is by Skyth. Still work in progresssssssssss
Sonic Generations - Sonic Unleashed HUD Release PTKay 2020-02-15 | This mod aims to bring the Sonic Unleashed gameplay HUD into Sonic Generations, by using various modified XNCP files, along with othermodified textures. Unfortunately, the speedometer could not be ported, nor could the SPD meter or the score counter.This HUD mod is fully compatible with every single part of Sonic Generations. That includes Classic Sonic, Missions and Boss Battles. It even supports the skills and the wisps!-----------------------------------------Download in GameBanana: gamebanana.com/guis/35273Mirror: drive.google.com/file/d/12KxoCO7Lbvo60IotJmrpVW3JL2E37wFO/view?usp=sharing-----------------------------------------NOTE: In order to make the mod compatible with the extended boost gauge skill ("Boost Gauge Up"), you need to modify the included "UnleashedHUD.ini" file, and change the parameter "fixBoostGaugeUp" from "false" to "true". This will, however, break the normal sized boost gauge.CREDITS:PTKickass - Editing the textures and XNCP files;TGE - Cracking the NCP format and making a 010 Editor template to edit said files;brianuuuSonic - The original Sonic Unleashed HUD mod, used as a base for this mod, aswell as his Omochao Removal Mod;N69 - Porting the Unleashed Lock-On cursor and Ready GO YNCP files;Team Hideout - Testing the mod and helping with some problems along the line.And a special thanks to you for being patient!
Sonic Generations - Unleashed HUD Showcase PTKay 2020-02-13 | So in the last video I showed a brief look at a WIP Sonic Unleashed HUD. In this video, I show it again, but more complete.I've been working on this for a couple of days now, and I can say that the basic gameplay UI is pretty much complete. What's missing is fixing the gradient of the boost bar (no one has found where the colour is stored yet) and possibly tune up some other things. Right now you're seeing the extended boost bar skill being used, hence why it's bigger. The problem with this is that, normally, the extended boost bar isn't completely full with the normal version of this mod, so I had to do a separate version of it to only fix the extended boost bar, which breaks the normal one.Also included in this video is the original "Ready Go" animation from Unleashed. This will be optional since this breaks missions (makes them crash whenever you complete them). It's possible to fix this, but it's super hard to do without a proper NCP editing tool.As for progress, currently the basic mission UI is done, including item counts, ranks, and buddy usage (the prompt that tells you to press Y to call the buddy). Skills have also been implemented, as in, for example, Super Sonic. You can see images of this on my Twitter. Classic Sonic's UI is broken to some extent due to the modifications made to the whole UI. As for boss battles, Shadow's boss battle uses a different UI, so "maybe" I'll tweak the UI to make it fit Unleashed's style. The Time Eater battle is as broken as Classic's UI, so I can only do so much to fix that aswell.As for a release date, I'm not giving any. I'm doing small tweaks everyday, aswell as fixing bugs and adding new features, so I'll just keep doing stuff until I feel it's ready for release. I'm also kind of stalling for time, waiting for some more NCP modding breakthroughs, just to see if I can get the original Unleashed gradient and other stuff too.In this video, I've used my other WIP mod, which ports some Unleashed textures/materials/models, along with some custom materials, aswell as a ported Unleashed Preview Build camera to make it look a bit more like that game.As always, feel free to discuss your thoughts below, and check out my Twitter for constant updates on this and other cool stuff: twitter.com/PTKickass
Sonic Generations - Unleashed? PTKay 2020-02-09 | Finally, after so many years, the NCP (YNCP and XNCP) format has been cracked, thanks to TGE. What this means it we can now have custom HUD files.As of this video, we're currently limited to only being able to edit what's already there, and we can't add any new stuff. Yet.The HUD you see on this video is still a work in progress, which may change in the future.Also in this video, you can also see some Unleashed models and some edited materials that I've been working on for Generations. Basically I'm trying to get the Unleashed look without porting the shaders themselves. Of course, stuff may look a tad bit different due to that, but I do feel it looks a bit better.
Sonic Generations - Better FxPipeline (Showcase) PTKay 2020-01-22 | After all these years, we now finally have a proper fix for a lot of problems that the PC port of Sonic Generations has. Skyth has released what he calls "Better FxPipeline", which features these enhancements to the regular FxPipeline Renderer:- Fixed scaling for Depth of Field and Bloom Glare to work correctly at all resolutions;- Particles are now affected by post processing;- No longer needs codes, shader mods or alternate executables to work;You can also alter the included INI file to enable some other sweet features, like changing the render resolution of the game (for downsampling and supersampling), plus enable shadows for all objects.----------------------Download here (REQUIRES HEDGEMODMANAGER)gamebanana.com/gamefiles/10739----------------------
Sonic Generations - Hedge Mod Manager Showcase (ft. Codes) PTKay 2020-01-21 | A new version of Hedge Mod Manager (7.0) has just been released, and has probably made it the best mod manager for modern Sonic games there is.HMM supports mods for Sonic Forces, Sonic Generations, and Sonic Lost World. This video focuses more on the Sonic Generation side of the loader, since it's there that I'm more interested in.HMM can pretty much be considered a replacement for Sonic GMI, being compatible with GMI mods, and also introducing the concept of DLL mods and Codes. These allow for some different type of game modifications, such as the ones you see on this video. This also allows for other mods like "Discord Generations", and some other mods that are currently in development.Also thanks to codes, you no longer need separate executables for the game. You can now have the longer blue trail, FxPipeline, and a bunch of other stuff running on the same executable, just by ticking a box in the "Codes" section of HMM.-------------------------------Download HedgeModManager here: github.com/thesupersonic16/HedgeModManager/releases
Sonic Forces - Sky Sanctuary (Remastered) PTKay 2019-06-20 | Note: Video may end abruptly due to processing issues...Recently I saw that Infinite Force released his Sky Sanctuary mod. Was a bit let down by how it looked visually, so I decided to grab the mod myself, and edit the visual department to make it look better. Keep in mind, this is not a remastered of the Generations version, but of Infinite Force's mod.No layout changes were done, so the bugs you may see in this video in terms of level design are from the original mod.In visual terms, there may be some flickering materials, which could be fixed, but would ultimately disable specularity in some pillars in the level, like the ones at the beginning. I opted to leave them as they are, in exchange of leaving the flickering materials in the inside area of the level. Also, some areas are overly bright due to SHLF problems. That wasn't cracked yet, so it's not fixable.Also, since I was in the middle of altering level files, I disabled the alarm from the first 2D section, and changed the BGM to match the level.I would try to port Global Illumination from Forces, but the level files were altered in a way that would make that impossible to do without re-porting the whole terrain geometry. I was also planning on porting the cameras and rings from the original level, but I decided to leave the original layout as it is.You can download this remastered version below---------------------------Download: drive.google.com/open?id=14_e5Zm68QuyDwwkK8d1n9xDm284hqGTO---------------------------Changes:- Materials, POW and PRM maps ported over from Generations, apart from some which caused issues;- Original sunlight ported over from Generations;- Custom made IBL to better suit the stage environment;- Custom made RFL to better suit the stage environment.
Sonic Forces - Generations to Forces Level Converter PTKay 2019-04-30 | After like... a bunch of time making this tool (since March of 2018), and after waiting until all the tools were released and finished in order to declare this ready to use, the Generations to Forces Level Converter is finally here!This allows for the quick and easy conversion of your existent Generations level mods to Forces.Currently, it can convert the following stuff:- Materials- Terrain-models- Set-data- Sun-light- CollisionAll this wouldn't be possible without the tools used by the script, so check the credits to see the original authors of each one of them.Also, some levels won't properly convert through the script, so you'll have to convert them yourself. Oh, and this also includes some extra stuff, like tutorials on how to add music, change the stage title, etc.The video shows an example of my Generations level mod being converted to Sonic Forces, just by dragging and dropping the level file onto the script.PS: To add custom files to the generated level, put them in the #OverrideFiles folder.

Sonic Unleashed: Xenia Gameplay PTKay 2019-01-17 | As of today, this is the state that Sonic Unleashed is at in the PC Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia. It performs better than RPCS3 by being more GPU intensive rather than CPU intensive, but in counterpart, offers some bugs that RPCS3 doesn't have.Some stutters you may see in the video are due to me not playing the stages before recording. The bad Werehog gameplay is a symptom of not playing that side of the game for half a year :PHere, Sonic's day stages are filled with vertex explosions, making it harder (sometimes impossible) to see where you're going. Other times you might face random rendering bugs, such as pink geometry and whatnot. The game might also randomly crash when you stomp or boost.One thing that's better than RPCS3, other than performance, is how well the Werehog levels play out. Most of this video is a Werehog stage because of that.I'm also playing with VSync disabled in order to unlock the game's framerate. I decided, however, to keep the resolution the native one, as a measure of keeping the performance stable, but it's definitely possible to make the game render at 2x native res.All in all, still not quite there yet, but hopefully in the near future, we'll have a fully playable PC version of Sonic Unleashed... somewhat...Xenia Build: (cf7c9819/Jan 16 2019) d3d12
Sonic Colours [Beta] - Aquarium Park (Act 2) BGM PTKay 2018-08-09 | So, SKMaric discovered some music files in Sonic Colours that sounded a bit... odd.

No, the lag isn't because of that, it's because of my CPU.Framerate wise, it hovers around 15-40fps in Cool Edge. It's also around that in Savannah Citadel.--------------------------------------------Specs:GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970CPU: Intel Core-i5 4690k8GB RAMRPCS3 Build: v0.0.5-7110-58283670

I'll get it on the Switch :PIn any case, I decided to try out practice mode to warm up after a long time of not playing the game. Cranked the CPU to 100 and proceeded to get my ass kicked. Once I got the hang of it, the matches were super intense. This was the longest one. Enjoy...

Sonic Forces - Dragon Road Graphical Improvements PTKay 2018-03-02 | Thanks to Sajid, I was able to convert the original materials from Generations (Unleashed Project) to Forces, making them not flicker, and have normal maps and all of that good stuff. I had to convert the pow maps into prm, and the normal maps into a Sonic Forces compatible format. I also made a custom IBL, allowing for a better overall quality (that also enables reflections). Oh, and there's water too, even though it's static and isn't in the proper place. But it's there!With all that said, the stage looks a lot better, although some spots do need some adjustments because they look like metal. In any case, do tell me what you think about it in the comments!
Sonic Forces - Custom Set Data and more... PTKay 2018-02-17 | HedgeEdit has been out for quite a while, but I'm a lazy person so I couldn't be bothered to try it out until now xD Any way, with HedgeEdit, we can now create custom set data (object layout) for levels, effectively allowing the creation of custom levels for Forces. Rad also made a neat tool that converts Ring data from Gens to Forces, which really helps in porting levels from the game.We still can't to 2D or stuff of the like, since no splines, and no clue how to use ObjSetPathNode's.Also, custom skyboxes are a rather recent thing, so here you can see the original skybox texture from Unleashed (in this case the Unleashed Project).Now for stuff that I did this time: I was able to find the shadow render distance values in the RFL files, making it possible to increase, decrease, or even disable them completely. Normally shadows would render really close to Sonic in Dragon Road. By increasing them, you almost can't see them drawing in.In terms of stage mods, I'm planning to do a port of Sea Gate from Sonic Heroes using the Tag Team gameplay, since that doesn't require splines, and it's fully 3D. It also seems to work rather well with Tag Team, so it'd be interesting to see.Also, again, Dragon Road is a level that I use for testing stuff out, so it'll probably not be released.

All you see here is terrain-models from Generations (Unleashed Project), collision converted from Generations to Forces (thanks Skyth), and all the shadows are rendered in real time.---------------------------------------------Thanks to:Skyth for making the collision tool;GottaPlayFast for fixing the transparency issues in the stage;SonicHyuga for the Generations Model;Cornflake Rush for the Modern Sonic Physics mod;CodenameGamma for the cheat table;Sajid, SuperSonic16 and CodenameGamma for right stick camera mod---------------------------------------------Also, thanks to all of you for the recent landmark of 2000 subs! Never have I ever thought that this would be possible. I would release something special, but I really don't have anything to release yet. I'll try cooking something up tho :P
Sonic Forces - Custom Collision PTKay 2018-02-11 | We have custom collision! All credit goes to Skyth for cracking the collision format, and for making a collision converter to Forces! This pretty much opens up the possibility for custom levels in Forces!Check out Skyth's channel: youtube.com/user/aslkncvlk
Sonic Forces - Low End Mod 1.1 Release PTKay 2018-02-09 | New version of the Low End Mod includes the following changes:- Fixed Network Terminal's terrain being invisible halfway into the stage- Fixed eye materials- Fixed Zavok boss battle (I think it was working before, but not sure)- Changed materials for common objects like rings, springs, etc.- Added a secondary instalation method for people with older GPU's, mainly Intel branded. Should fix the black textures bug-----------NOTE: Use the IntelHD version if you have an Intel iGPU that doesn't support OpenGL 4.3 or above.Download: drive.google.com/file/d/1syu-6GkwJojO15JdAjJGnLtLk6H7K74f/view?usp=drivesdk------------
Sonic Generations - Lost Valley Import PTKay 2018-02-02 | Took a quick stab at porting Lost Valley over to Gens. Collision didn't want to work correctly for some reason, so I had to place SetRigidBodies all over the place to fix it :PStill didn't render GI, but I'll try to one day :vDon't expect a level mod tho. Even though the 3D parts look fine, the 2D part of the level is completely broken...
Sonic Forces - How to install the Low End Mod PTKay 2018-01-29 | Follow the video instructions and you should have no problems installing the Low End Mod!Frequent problem solving at 4:09Alternative way of installing it, which may solve a couple of problems, it at 4:41------------------------------Steam guide on how to install Sonic Forces mods: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1211435801Watch the mod's release video: youtube.com/watch?v=zlnNi613lNY------------------------------EXTRA TIP: Use codenamegamma's cheat table to reduce the render distance in the game, by lowering the Camera Render Distance value!FAQ:Q: PackCPK.exe crashes during the instalation! What do I do?A: To solve problems with PackCPK.exe, please install the redistributables for VC++ 2010 (both x86 and x64) and 2015 just in case. Links for those can be found here: pastebin.com/QuJQ5v1NQ: My PC crashed mid-install and it's asking me to overwrite stuff?A: Please delete the "mods" folder inside the "disk" folder of your game and re-run #StartHere.bat
Sonic Forces - Low End Mod 1.0 Release PTKay 2018-01-28 | It's finally here, the mod that completely destroys the Hedgehog Engine 2, it's the Low End Mod... yay.Any way, this disables and changes a lot of stuff from Sonic Forces, allowing you to have a better framerate overall (25-60% boost).Also, since everyone's asking, yes, this works with all stages and even some cutscenes :P--------------------WARNING: This mod uses an unusual instalation method. Please read the included Readme.txt file VERY CAREFULLY for how to install the mod.The reason for this is that, if I released this mod normally, it would be 25GB. Doing it this way allows the mod to automatically generate itself with your game files!Download: drive.google.com/file/d/1syu-6GkwJojO15JdAjJGnLtLk6H7K74f/view?usp=drivesdkVideo tutorial: youtube.com/watch?v=81RIpyF76DA--------------------
Sonic Forces - Low End Mod + Comparison (Second Sneak Peak) PTKay 2018-01-24 | Due to a sudden demand for this again (wonder why...), I decided to go back to it. I've made some more tweaks here and there, and made Sunset Heights look even worse than before :PStill, I have no machine where I can test the mod for myself unfortunately, so I don't know if the changes I'm making will result in a better framerate. It should tho, considering that it looks like this.Comparision at 2:55PS: Sorry for the bad quality of the video. My internet was so bad today that I had to compress the heck out of it to be able to upload it. Again, I'm really sorry.-------------------------------------------------------------In any case, you can try out the mod in its current state for yourself by downloading it here: goo.gl/gdLu2xAgain, this isn't finished, only 2 stages are available to play with the Low End Mod (Lost Valley and Sunset Heights). Let me know in the comments if your framerate improves or not!
Sonic Forces - Custom Terrain Importing PTKay 2017-12-31 | Apparently, Sonic Forces is fully compatible with Sonic Generations terrain, meaning porting terrain from Generations to Forces is as easy as copying some files.This is the result of me putting Generations terrain in Forces. It's my original Seaside Hill mod for Generations... but in Forces.All in all, it looks really good, specially when modifying the tags to make real time shadows work.Now all we need is custom collision... hopefully one day...PS: I'm using codenamegamma's (youtube.com/user/codenamegamma) cheat table to be able to fly in the stage.
Sonic Forces - FM Super Sonic BGM Removal PTKay 2017-12-22 | I released this mod early yesterday on Twitter, hoping it would work when the DLC released officially. Apparently it worked, so here's a release video of the mod from the future I guess :PThis basically swaps the FM version of Fist Bump that's played when you activate Classic Super Sonic, for the normal instrumental version of Fist Bump.-----------------------------Download: drive.google.com/file/d/125_dZNV8KZITzk57Ruz9iafH48b-3Jqi/view-----------------------------
Sonic Forces - Super Sonic (and Shadow) in Boss Fights PTKay 2017-12-20 | By removing the boss tag in "actgsmisson.lua", you can select the character you want to play as before you start a boss fight. This allows you to pick Super Sonic and Shadow (in Modern bosses) in boss fights.One drawback is having no music in the stages (I've added it to the video, so it doesn't sound empty :P), but turning Super activates Fist Bump so... that's good I guess?Also, I guess you can consider this an "Birthday Special" mod, since today (December 20th) is my birthday xDAnyway, want to completely destroy the game's boss fights by being invulnerable to every attack?

Sonic Forces - Fixed Classic Sonic Physics V1 Release PTKay 2017-12-06 | To celebrate the recent landmark of reaching 1000 subs, I decided to release this mod. This mod fixes Classic Sonic's slope physics, as well as fixing his full stop when landing, and generally, making him feel lighter and better to control.However, this comes with only one bug that I couldn't fix. Some slopes are still unable to be performed on foot, so you'll have to spindash your way through them, or use a nearby speedbooster.Also, another negative point is that the speedcap is still present, so that means that Sonic still can't go too fast while running.------------------------Download: drive.google.com/open?id=139WvptM93gt-MvZWIDIWSQ31yOCUVEzJHow to install mods: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1211435801------------------------On a side note:Thank you all for your amazing support! I never thought I'd be able to reach 1000 subs after all these years on YouTube. Hope you guys enjoy this mod, and again, thank you very much for all the support you've been giving me in my videos.Also, yes, I've been reading your comments. I may not respond, but that's because I'm either busy, or I can't respond to what you're asking :PAlso, I'm now testing out Vegas 15 to render videos, so if this video looks a bit worse, then that's why.
Sonic Forces - Changing the Physics... PTKay 2017-12-02 | Inside PlayerCommon.pac, you can find the physics files for the game. This is... pretty good, considering that in Lost World, they were hardcoded into the EXE. This also means we can potentially fix Classic Sonic's physics.The physics files are RFL files, and editing them is a guessing game. We don't know what we're changing, so we change random stuff and hope for the best :PFun Fact: In the physics files, the Avatar is referenced as "Top View".In any case, what you can see on the video is me trying to fix Classic Sonic's physics. They feel a little better like this (you can actually run through a slope easily), but there's some obvious problems:- Sonic is too slow underwater.- Sonic completely stops once he touches the ground.- He accelerates too fast.- Boucing of stuff is too floaty.In terms of improvements:- Slopes have less friction (?)- More control while in mid-air(not really sure on these, but there are improvements)In any case, you can see this as a proof of concept. Once (or if) we get value names for RFL files, we can actually fix his physics.
How to use Sonic Forces Mod Installer PTKay 2017-11-25 | Is HedgeModManager not working for you due to an update or something else? Then the Sonic Forces Mod Installer might be your best bet to install mods!NOTE: Use this only as a backup method of installing mods, and not as the primary way of doing it.Download it here: github.com/PTKickass/ForcesModInstaller/releasesAlso, feel free to check my Steam guide on how to use Sonic Forces mods (you might find something over there...)!http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1211435801&tscn=1511664206
Sonic Forces - Low End Mod (Sneak Peak) PTKay 2017-11-23 | I guess you were all waiting for this :PChanging RFL files is a hit or miss. It's changing values blindily, since you have no description of what each value is. So I basically changed every 1 to 0 and some other stuff to 0 and got this result.Want to test it out for yourself? Download the mod here: drive.google.com/open?id=18L-M0-LHGFs8uiGCSluw3kN1ky-gI7N8Remember, it's still not finished. It only works in Lost Valley, Egg Gate (more or less), and in Sunset Heights. Do give me feedbak on how it runs though!Use SuperSonic16's HedgeModManager to use the mod: github.com/thesupersonic16/HedgeModManager/releasesIf that's not working, use my mod installer:github.com/PTKickass/ForcesModInstaller/releasesHow to use my mod installer: youtube.com/watch?v=VsGYZ-UmM6Q
