Fusion's Chao Editor 2.3 for SADX and SA2B (2016-01-05)

[Joshrizzo98]

i was just wondering if this was going to be usable for SA2 for the PC in the future?

Yes, it will be. I'm already working on it, and it's almost ready.

Wow, that's pretty awesome. Did you manage to find a way to include two tone shiny chao's without having them just show up as 'bright', or will we have to bear through that for now?

[mintdrop]

woah, an sa2 chao editor is almost ready? could you supply a date? :33

another useful feature to add would be their favourite fruit, and personality.

[Fusion]

do you have a specific date yet.

could you supply a date? :33

No, I can't. It'll be done when it's done.

how is the sonic adventure dx for steam chao editor comin?

I'm currently thinking of combining the new SA2 editor with my existing SADX editor, which means that I would simply release an updated editor which works on both SADX and SA2. I will try to add support for the Steam version of SADX at the same time.

I haven't looked into that much. It's probably just how the game is.

I've already got that implemented, along with chao sickness, classroom lessons, seeds, and themes (like Maria's Theme).

[The Shadic Chao]

Wait, Fusion was online? I sent him a message about changing my name and he didn't reply nor did he change my name! I've been waiting a whole week for him to reply!

[chaosulitmaster]

^uhh... Does it matter?
I can't wait for the next version to come out!

I will unlock its secrets.

[mintdrop]

Wait, this means we will be able to transfer chao between sadx and sa2b (pc) , right?

[The Shadic Chao]

^uhh... Does it matter?

No, CTLC told me in the chatbox it's too big a name change. But still, he didn't even remind me <_>

[AzureFlame]

My GOD! I have been waiting for forever for this thing! (Forever= 2 weeks) can we speed it up?

I suggest that you focus on the SADX:2007 and the SA2HD since we all waiting to get a hold of it now that SA2HD is out on the PC. Also, wait until the SADX:2010 .exe is decrypted as well.

[mintdrop]

please stop being impatient! fusion is obviously busy working on perfecting the design and implementing every feature he can.
he doesn't HAVE to be doing this, you know. >_>

[Doc Melonhead]

I know that, it's just that I prefer that he focus on SA2HD for now.

This.

At least be happy he does all this for you. He has a life too, you know. His life isn't dedicated to making this chao editor. He says he's nearly done, and I honestly expected he was far from finishing it.

[mintdrop]

Doc, i was more referring to the poster above you. bagalatj. :/

This. Impatience was the main issue with Sonic 06, we don't want our precious Chao Editor being as bad as Sonic 06, do we?

[Doc Melonhead]

Doc, i was more referring to the poster above you. bagalatj. :/

Huh, sorry about that.

Anyways, here's some suggestions:

On sliders such as Age, Run/Swim;Power/Flight, Hunger, etc., you could include a lock in which it always at that value even during gameplay. This makes stat raising alot quicker, since a forever hungry Chao can reach lvl99 in no time at all.

[flabort]

If you're editing the chao anyways, why not just edit it's stats and not make it permahungry?
Silly doctor. :p

[Tobi]

I think you can raise your stamina manually, so I don't see why you would need permahunger.

Would be a nice feature though.

[AzureFlame]

Doc, i was more referring to the poster above you. bagalatj. :/

I get that a lot. I'm that person who doesn't like waiting so badly he needs to freak about it.

I would like it on the amplifier slider one (you know,the one that is 0 to 1.2) and the longevity slider,because we can mess with the polygon of the chao (with the stat slider) without the chao evolve or die/reincarnate.

That too, since your chao might become immortal that way (it can still be sick though). Same with Happiness and grade as well.

This is so amazing, thanks Fusion!

Fusion's Chao Editor 2.0 released!

I'm now releasing the second version of my editor. The biggest change is that I've added support for the Steam version of Sonic Adventure DX, as well as the recently released Sonic Adventure 2 (also on Steam). I've therefore renamed the program from Fusion's SADX PC Chao Editor to simply Fusion's Chao Editor.

There are also many more settings available now, including chao personality, health, classroom skills, toys, seeds, and more. Most of these new settings work on both SADX and SA2B, as SADX seems to be aware of most of SA2B's content. So for example, you can now give your chao in SADX the animal abilities or toys from SA2B.

The full list of changes is below.

Features:

• Added support for the recently released Sonic Adventure 2.
• Added support for the Steam version of Sonic Adventure DX.
• Added support for the following SADX game settings:
  • Personality.
  • SA2B's animal behaviours.
  • SA2B's classroom skills.
  • SA2B's toys.
  • DNA stat grades.
• Added support for the following SA2B game settings:
  • Personality.
  • Health and sickness.
  • Classroom skills.
  • Toys.
  • Animal chao.
  • Seeds.
  • DNA stat grades.
  • Most other settings that already existed for SADX.

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug with the character bond sliders for Big and E-102 Gamma, which were the wrong way round.
• Fixed a bug with the animal behaviour settings, where they could not be properly removed in-game while the editor was running.
• Fixed a bug where "Good" or "Bad" type chao would not be displayed correctly in the chao list.
• Removed the option to add the regular fruit, pumpkin hat, and skull hat to the Black Market, as purchasing them could crash SADX. They can still be added to the garden directly.
• Slightly modified the behaviour of the animal, fruit, and hat settings to prevent game crashes from occurring in rare cases.

Improvements:

• Significantly improved start-up time.
• The tooltips for slider controls now display the slider's value, so that it is easier to tell exactly what value it has.
• A message is now displayed while checking for updates.
• Improved the use of icons throughout the program.
• Changed some of the colour names so they match the current game.
• Improved some of the SADX animal behaviour descriptions.
• Improved the help and information text and fixed some mistakes.
• Renamed the application from "Fusion's SADX PC Chao Editor" to simply "Fusion's Chao Editor", now that it supports multiple games.

Want to download it? Just head over to the downloads page on my website. I recommend you choose the setup exe option.

Thanks to Crash32 for testing the program for me a little while ago.

Wait, this means we will be able to transfer chao between sadx and sa2b (pc) , right?

I wanted to include something like a "Chao Storage" section in the program, where you could store away your chao and transfer them between games. However, I decided to just release it as it is now, and might implement that in a future version instead. For now, you can transfer your chao between SADX and SA2B by either copying and pasting the chao, or by saving it to a .chao file and then loading it back up. I haven't done much testing with transferring chao between the two games, so I can't guarantee it will work correctly, but from what I've seen it appears to work fine.

[Crash32]

Oh wow, I got credited :o
Thanks! :3

The newest version of Fusion's Editor is absolutely brilliant. It lets you modify pretty much everything about a Chao, just like V1 but better. You can modify everything from a chao's favorite fruit, to it's nature, and even the contents of the black market (removed fruits!). To test it I modified the black market to give me a standard egg for free, then I modded the Chao to be all S with max stats, along with a few other things like having all things learnt. I then put it into the dark garden, all in the editor. Bravo Fusion for another wonderful piece of software, useful to hardcore Chao fans, and even those of the Sonic community that just can't be bothered taking the time to make a Chao to get the last few emblems. Bravo! :D

WOO-HOO! Assuming the two Steam Sonic Adventure ports are more like the Gamecube version as opposed to the XBox one (which I have heard is more constrictive with Chao combos), I am *definitely* going to get Mom's credit card to buy it online - as soon as I get my computer working again. My Internet browser is frozen (but everything else is good), but it's something that an Operating System wipe couldn't fix! So, I have to take it in the shop, meaning I can only talk while I have free time at school.
