For textures, go to SA2ModManager and select the texture in the list. And if the Pause when inactive is not enabled then enable it.

didn't see your post, sorry

for add texture, you have to download the garden pack (or lobby pack, you can get both) then extract the folder ".Garden Pack" in your mods folder (same for .Lobby Pack)
Image

then (like arkhamtheknight say) when you open SA2modmanager, you should have all the textures
enable it, start the game, and done :blink:

and for pause when inactive, it doesn't work if you use fullscreen mode, only windows mode work

Chaos8004 wrote:No, how can i do that?
well you just have to get the codes.xml in chao world extended 7.3.2.zip and put it in your mods folder

Anybody know how to fix this? I have the newest update, everything is fine, every single time I open it I get an error saying: Data_DLL.dll missing. And the instructions say to press "Install Loader" but when I have it up, there is no button to do so. The button is missing. And when I open the actual game itself through the download, it says a steam data .dll folder is missing, problably since I don't have the loader. What happened to the Install Loader button? Pl reply I want to see your beautiful work. :herocry:

never mind any previous comments, I found my own error solution. I was putting the files into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sonic Adventure 2\resource\gd_PC
When I was supposed to put them into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sonic Adventure 2
:herosway: :herosway: :herosway:
hehe, I misunderstood your instructions, they aren't clear, so I watched a video on how to do it. But I didn't look at the file locations of downloading the files, as I now have no error pop-ups, I have the button "Install Loader" and I turned on some mods and they work perfectly.
Thank you for your reply. :herosway: :herosway: :herosway:

He did indeed cut off the first part (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sonic Adventure 2) but It's suppose to go in the Sonic Adventure 2 folder which he didn't cut off. So I don't get why you put yours in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sonic Adventure 2\resource\gd_PC. Although I'm glad my video helped.

It was the 1st location that came to mind because I play around with save files.
I move my save file to a different location so when I start up SAB2 I'll have two save files.
Mostly for separate Chao saves, because I know I can make 10 saves per file.

this code is used automaticly, notice it's alway enabled when you enable day/night cycle mod
it change the light environment of the garden
like you are a little darker when it's night time in hero garden
a little "orange" when there sunset in chao garden

and more
this is pretty much a code to add more detail to the mod

well after enable the mod Day/night cycle, you have to enable the code Chao World Time/weather cycle change
and the time will change when you leave/enter the garden after (if you stay long enough) or save>exit (if you stay long enough) or wait and doing nothing or running around in chao lobby for ~3min in game (i doubt you will do that)

here the description of this mod and his codes
Chao World Time/weather cycle change : Enabling this code will add a Day/Night System in your chao world, so your garden will swim from day, to evening, then night and back to day.
Of course weather is also added in the code and chao act differently depending on the time/weather. Neutral Chao and Hero Chao sleep at night. Dark Chao Sleep at day.

set a Garden evening/night permanent :
This code is just like setting a garden texture, this time the chao don't act differently
(like neutral chao and hero chao don't sleep at night.)
Do not use the code "Chao World Time/Weather Cycle Change" if your using a permanent code or you will make the game confused.

Other than Seaside Hill texture pack, what texture packs work with this code/mod?
I just want one or two texture packs for hero garden and dark garden.

I am completely confused on the mod "My Stuff."
I went into it's files and I know it's supposed to be empty, but every other m=texture pack has notepad jibberish. Which program is correctly used to read the textures properly or edit them?
I am uncertain how to make my own textures, because I can't understand any of the Notepad jibberish

My Stuff is a mod meant for YOUR own stuff. Your own mods, your own textures. If you are looking to edit textures go here. Tutorial by darky, it should explain everything on how to edit a texture. When you are done save the edited texture fille in MyStuff>gd_PC>PRS. Note that you only save .pak texture files in the PRS folder. If it is a .prs file (like a chao body texture) you only need to save it in MyStuff>gd_PC. As for the "Notepad jibberish" this is used to load your mod in SA2ModManager. You wont need it though since your using the "My Stuff" mod it is already on the ModManager.
