Re: How Chao Colouring / Textures Work

IIRC the colouring of the Hero Chao textures are extremely dependant on palette files, think it might have been the .PVRs? The file extension definitely starts with a P.

Re: Where to farm?

If you want to farm rings, I suggest White Jungle or Green Forest; you can pretty easily get over 100 rings with each run. My go-to level for getting 100 rings quickly's always been Wild Canyon. White Jungle and Green Forest have a lot of rings due to relying on the lightspeed dash a number of time...

I like this. LET'S CHANGE EVERYTHING!" But the place I read that was Wikipedia, so it probably isn't true. ...

I've heard rumours that amethyst is the colour obtainable from breeding gold and silver Chao on the VMU. Either way, from what I've read it wasn't one of the colours available from SA1's black market.

Re: Question About PC Shiny Jewel Chao

IIRC the bright Chao glitch is exclusive to SA2's HD ports. SADX PC displays twotones normally, but shiny jewels are completely opaque instead of transparent.

Re: Something is missing...

Every Chao save has three colours that it won't be able to obtain, one from every tier except white and grey/lime green/black. If your other tier 2 egg is blue then you won't be able to get red eggs on that memory card, and if brown eggs are for sale then IIRC you can't get green ones.

I wonder if Luck/Intelligence are both normal centered at 128-ish, or if they are a more constant distribution. If you monitored a Chao with a low luck/intelligence grade on Chao Editor and took note of ...

Re: Why do chao look as if finding something while eating?

Think about how you would eat something. You wouldn't gobble it all down in one go with no breaks, would you? I think the feature exists purely for realism. Though in the SA1DC, I seem to remember chao ploughing through any fruit you'd give them no matter how hungry they were. Is it possible to get...

Is this because no one has tested it, or is there no emblem limit for eggs. I'm pretty sure I've seen every non-shiny egg colour available in the SADX Black Market ...

I've seen every available egg in Sonic Advance 1, but I never counted the times a certain colour appeared. Topaz and Onyx did take forever to pop up when I finally had enough rings to buy them and was waiting for them to appear in the shop, though.
