Re: So... I found these Chao Editors...

I'll likewise be looking into some stuff with the debug info that can be accessed via Gameshark. Unless jewel chao were actual DLC, the files are likely somewhere on the disc, just waiting for a flag to turn them on. I'll report if I find anything.

Re: Xbox 360 chao

No, it wouldn't. Chao data is stored in the hard drive and is within the profile. Some games do store save data in the profile, but not Sonic Adventure. You'd need a previous backup of your data.

Re: Chao intelligence

I wanna say that the stat needed is dependent on the race itself: more difficult races will require higher stats, so it's common to see a chao open the box quickly in one race and very slowly in a more advanced race. I'm just guessing here, as I haven't tested it or anything. Also, aren't mushrooms ...

Re: Reverting PC Chao save data into PS3?

It's possible, and in fact far far far easier than converting a PC save to work on the 360 (both PC and PS3 are written in little endian while 360 is written in big endian), though not as easy as simply placing the PC file on a USB drive. It would require a PS3 save package that already has a SA2 ch...

Re: So... I found these Chao Editors...

Great find! Knuckles chao does exist in DC SA2, as it was an event chao that you could unlock by plugging in your VMU at the event and bringing it back into your Dreamcast a la Tiny Chao Garden. I don't know about the DC SA1 chao system, though; it works entirely different from all the other systems...

Re: Triangle fruit increases Intelligence? (THEORY!)

Could it be that Lunar's favorite fruit is triangle? I heard before that feeding a chao its favorite fruit does something secret, but I don't remember what it is (or even if that's true). You think maybe that could be it?

Re: How NOT to change your chao's stats

Hmm... Makes me wonder if intelligence is signed, which would actually mean 65535 is -1. What kind of behavior do you get if you set int to 32767? 32768? If int is signed, these would be the largers positive and negative values respectively(Assuming the game is storing negative numbers in the usual...

I recommend paying for it from Steam.

It's just not worth it. Also, just to be clear, ...

Re: Question about sending chao from sa2b to sadx

IIRC, the parts will not show between games. This is because they share the same hex values between games; the hex value for an animal part in one game will produce a different part in the other. I think trading between games just nulls out the animal hex values to zero, though (as always) I could b...

Re: Is there any way for me to get a purple Chao on my ps3

It's possible with modding. Upload your chao save to mediafire and send me a link via PM; I will make one of your chao purple, as well as give it purple genes so it can pass on its purpleness to its children. ;)

Re: Evolution effects

It is not true. The run type sometimes gives the impression that it's faster in the gardens because it's more likely to start sprinting like Sonic (with its hands behind its back) for no reason if it's a run type. But this only applies in the gardens; in the races and in karate, all attributes are g...

There's more! Both stats also have grades as well, just like normal stats! By editing the hex values, the grades can go as high as 255 (for reference, an S rank is only a 5). I haven't looked at the hex in a LOOOONG while, but IIRC the grades follow the same patterns as regular stat grades and only ...

Unfortunately, my tool doesn't edit the genetics. This is a little embarrassing, but I didn't even know about chao genetics when I was coding the program.

Actually, yes, that is exactly what it is. Raising a perfect chao isn't a very glamorous process. Unfortunately, you'd have to do so for at the absolute very least three lives (assuming the chao already has S ranks in every stat) due to how the stat system works with reincarnation: that is, a percen...
