More to the topic, I was wondering, are you merely applying an upscaling filter to the textures or are you actually redrawing them?
well with photoshop i redraw some texture chao with some effect like... the glow effect if you know what i mean... :walk:

I'm not sure as it's both art and hacking. Maybe it's fine as is.
This is where it belongs because he is editing the way the chao and gardens look.

Yeah, I guess you're right.
Coming to think of it; if we can edit the Garden's textures, can we also edit the Gardens themselves? That'd be so cool!

^To my knowledge, the SA2 Model format is currently uncracked, so it is currently impossible to alter the geometry of the gardens. Not sure about object placement though. While few of them show any interest in Chao, the people over at Sonic Retro could probably give a better answer than me, especially since SA2's steam release has been a focus of the hacking scene over there recently.

On the other hand, I think SA1's model format has been cracked, but I cannot comment on the quality of available tools.

Hmm, okay.
These kind of things make me wish I was a programmer so I could help cracking the game =)
But I don't really mind. Just imagine what cool things could happen once we crack the game's codes...

^In all fairness, there was not much incentive to crack any of the SA2 specific formats until a PC version was released as PC is the only platform that really allows for game customization. That said, some very cool things are already possible with SA2 hacking even if we are stuck with the existing geometry.

People have imported models from other games in SADX PC. I saw a goomba and 06 silver injected into sonic's files.

Lol, at first I failed to look at the instructions for pak files and just stuck it in the folder before the PRS folder http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/594 ... 74E6E1042/ . I sometimes fail to pay attention to details, It works fine now. Whoops, silly me. Nobody make my mistake :surprise:
Edit: lol now that i think of it the picture I took reminds me of a ghast from minecraft about to fire at me, except the ghast has a purple main and a unicorn horn, with a giant Sonic holding/controling it. Pay no atention to the man behind the curtain! (Wizard of Oz referance for those who don't know)

I don't want to flub up my game, so I was wondering what the Pak file was?

Al_Body HD (1.5) : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?8px5szhqsqnwrp5
Al_Eye HD : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?r2sfes2hm7lnid7
AL_Mouth HD : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dcxg7mtmfqt57mr
Al_Mouth HD Alt : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?38uuhf0dyuaydj9

^Those files all go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sonic Adventure 2\resource\gd_PC right?

~~~~~

For Pak file :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sonic Adventure 2\resource\gd_PC\PRS


^What exactly does this little bit pertain too?

al_body is the only prs file (so make a backup of the original al_body.prs file if you want)

the rest (al_eye, mouth,...) is the pak file
the game use al_eye.prs, al_mouth.prs by default but if you insert/add HD Eye,mouth (i make it on pak file) the game will read the pak file first and not prs

What program do you use to edit/unpack the .prs files? I would like to edit the textures myself.
