Example File Structure


Introduction:

The files contained in this example are excerpts from the fileset for the E02 Fan-Game "Sonic the Hedgehog: Project Mettrix". The example was created as a means by which other E02 users can create a similarlarly-functional Sonic the Hedgehog game, or a tool for or example of creating a relatively complex game project using E02.

Note: E02 is not a "Sonic the Hedgehog Engine". This example, also referred to as "Mettrix Engine", is a "Sonic the Hedgehog Engine" created using E02 Multi-Purpose Game Engine.

What's New:

Some of the changes listed below do not necessarily apply to the gameplay content of this example, but rather to the underlying engine and the expanded functionality that can be made use of in derivative games.

* Release 12.11.13


• Updated in conjunction with Project Mettrix release 12.11.13
  
  
• All Scripts have been updated to make use of Alias Names, Keywords/Expressions, Directives, named Labels, and various other features available as of E02 release 12.??.??. This has greatly improved usability
  
  
• Tails and Knuckles are now included as playable characters
  
  
• The complete Green Hill Zone, as shown in earlier Project Mettrix demos and featuring all level events, objects, and boss, is now included. This level is much more suitable as a basis for new levels, as it is does not make use of specialized functions and settings such as those used in "Test Zone"
  
  
• "Gemstone Garden Zone", a two-act zone based heavily on the graphics from the "PlaySega" online Flash editor/game, which uses a greater number of colors than those from the original Genesis games, and includes two backgrounds, underwater sections, several Labyrinth Zone Objects, two bosses, and a "level chaining" event between acts, and other E02 features not used elsewhere
  
  
• A graphic menu system similar to the one used in earlier Project Mettrix demos is now included, and serves as Level- and Character-Select in-game. This also provides immediate access to the already-present 2P Co-op and Competition modes
  
  
• A Sonic 1-style Level Select/Sound Test screen is now included, and is accessible in-game by inputting the Sonic 1 Level Select code during the Title Screen
  
  
• A toggle flag has been implemented to switch level-end behavior between Sonic 3/Project Mettrix style (Character stays on-screen), and Sonic 1/2 style (character is forced to run off-screen)
  
  
• Special/Bonus Stage entry via Giant Ring has been implemented. The current level's state will be saved upon entry, and restored upon exit
  
  
• Bonus/Special Stage entry via StarPost has been implemented. The current level's state will be saved upon entry, and restored upon exit
  
  
• A Special Stage with randomly-generated layout and 8 difficulty levels (7 Chaos Emeralds + 1 extra) has been added
  
  
• A Bonus Stage for collecting extra rings and items has been added
  
  
• Demo recording and playback have been implemented
  
  
• When one player crosses the signpost in Competition Mode, a timer now starts that gives the other player only 60 seconds to reach it
  
  
• A Results Screen has been added to the end of any level played in Competition Mode to declare the winner in each of the same 5 categories used in Sonic 2
  
  
• Character "Super States" have been implemented
  
  
• Mid-gameplay changes to player character speed are now handled by a single function, which calls on a unique table for each character that contains lists of that character's velocity/acceleration/etc values under various circumstances. This both provides greater control over the characters' stats, and reduces chances for error when gameplay conditions change. This has also reduced the number of "Constants" used by each character from 22 to 15
  
  
• Mid-level music "restoration" due to changes in powerup/drowning/boss/super states is now handled by a single function
  
  
• Spindash screen lock has been made to function more like the original- instead of being position-based, release of the lock is now based on a timer, whose value is based on the speed of the dash
  
  
• When one player completes a level in competition mode, a 1-minute timeout timer now starts for the other player
  
  
• Underwater players now spawn small bubbles and drowning countdown numbers
  
  
• "Running 2 Animation" handling is now actually implemented
  
  
• When a player strikes a wall in midair while walking/running or spinning, his animation speed is now reset to its minimum
  
  
• Animals released from an end-level Capsule will now change priority to display in front of the capsule when escaping (they "jump out of it")
  
  
• Any low-quality WAV music used during normal gameplay has been replaced with high-quality OGG Vorbis
  
  *BugFixes*
  
  
• Triggering a shield move and losing the shield on the same game frame would cause a crash, due to the shield attempting to read its animation list after having already set its type to 0 (to destroy itself). This has been corrected
  
  
• "Skidding Deceleration" was incorrectly being applied to a player on the first frame of left/right input due to a bad test in the input functions, causing them to start with a vector velocity equal to the character's skidding deceleration plus his acceleration. This has been corrected, and the player now begins movement with a vector velocity equal to his acceleration
  
  
• Players were incorrectly able to spin when they reached a vector velocity of 128 (which, in conjunction with the bug listed above, allowed them to spin immediately on the first frame of movement). The value and condition have been updated for correct behavior, only allowing the player to spin once his vector velocity has exceded 256 (until then, pressing down will only cause him to duck)
  
  
• In 1P Mode, death by time-over would not lock the screen, and instead, the screen would follow the player all the way to the bottom of the level. This has been corrected
  
  
• The Ring Object was mistakenly set up to use the Built-in Debug Placement Function in conjunction with its own special Scripted Debug Placement Function, effectively causing two rings to be placed in the position of the first Ring in any placed set. This has been corrected and the set will now be placed properly, with only one Ring at each of the displayed positions
  
  
• There was a miscalculation in the function used to rotate the invincibility stars around the object center. This has been corrected
  
  
• The line scroll background effect in Test Zone, now moved to the menu, would reset the scroll offset before a complete pattern re-synch was achieved. The pattern is now completely re-aligned before the offset is reset, giving the illusion of continuous scrolling
  
  
* Release 11.01.01


• Updated in conjunction with Project Mettrix release 11.01.01
  
  
• As in the originals, jumping from spinning along the ground now disables horizontal input while in the air, unless a special move is performed
  
  
• Noted original game's "attracted ring" velocity values in contrast to Mettrix's looser "slingshot-style" values
  
  
• Fixed the "I forgot what this is..." comment. The section applies downhill gravity force when standing on a sloped surface
  
  
• Skidding deceleration value was half of what it should have been; it has been corrected
  
  
• The original Mettrix spindash only allowed 8 charges and did not lose strength over time. It now functions as in the originals; it can be charged more than 8 times (with a potential velocity cap), and slowly loses potential velocity while held. Two new "dashspd?.def" table files have been added along with this functionality, and are now noted in the "Example File Structure" section
  
  
• Lightning shield now flashes the underwater palette when it is taken away due to entering the water
  
  
• "Underwater Vertical Spring Function" flag has been implemented (velocity cap on water exit, or half-force vertical springs)
  
  
• The format of the "Points of Note" section of this text has been modified; each note is now preceded by a brief, bolded, descriptive header
  
  
• Two new "Points of Note" have been added to this text: Attracted Ring Velocities and Underwater Spring Force
  
  *BugFixes*
  
  
• The underwater air timer was reset before its value was checked to determine whether or not the player had triggered the "drowning" music, causing the counter keeping track of the number of currently drowning players to be decreased every time the player left the water, rather than only when the music was actually triggered. This caused normal music playback not to be restored upon the cancellation of drowning state if a player had already entered and exited the water at least once. This has been fixed; the timers are managed correctly and the music is now restored as appropriate
  
  
• The water waves spawn function didn't keep track of and set the wave offset values properly, causing them not to span the length of the screen. The function now sets the appropriate offset for each wave object, and the water surface waves now run the entire length of the screen
  
  
* Release 10.12.09


• Initial release, based on updates to Project Mettrix release 10.11.16

This example game and its source materials are purely non-profit and must remain so as they are based on copyrighted material. Use of well-established Player character, global Game Object, and other source materials based on content of the original, official Sonic the Hedgehog games to create derivative games using E02 is allowed under the same conditions under which they were used to create this example game, however, given that "Project Mettrix" is not a complete and released game, all other materials are presented as example only, and remain property of the development team producing "Project Mettrix", and are for exclusive use by those individuals in creating the "Project Mettrix" game. These materials may not be otherwise used until such time that their origin in "Project Mettrix" has been well-established, meaning that a period of no less than 1 year must have passed since its completion, or a period of no less than 2 years since the most recent update, or statement of intent to update, unless either stricter or more lenient terms are explicitly described for any individual content by the content's author.

As the code is heavily documented, and a highly significant amount of work went into creating, revising, and making readable this code, the conditions of use apply to anyone using "Mettrix Engine" as a reference to create a completely separate project by completely separate means just as much as they apply to anyone using "Mettrix Engine" directly to create a derivative Sonic the Hedgehog game for E02- Any such projects must bear a label crediting the base scripts or original reference research and development to "Stealth" of "Organized Chaos", and in some form mention "Mettrix Engine". This consideration will be much appreciated.

A similar condition applies to graphic and sound assets contained herein that were obtained from the original Sonic the Hedgehog game- please credit work in obtaining and original arrangement of these assets to "Stealth" of "Organized Chaos" and "Mettrix Engine".

This license does not cover the E02 program or any other E02 game. Please also read the E02 license, and the individual license documents for each game, as the terms are different.

Points of Note:

This section lists a few points about successfully editing this example that aren't otherwise entirely obvious -


• Script Formatting
  Please pay special attention to the formatting for each part of each Script type. Breaking this format can not only cause descriptive error reports, but can also cause hangups and crashes that display no such reports, because in many cases, it is impossible for E02 to tell that the Script wasn't written that way intentionally. This can be true of errors in Code Logic as well, although these errors can also simply cause undesired results. Test and backup frequently.
  
  
• Example as a new game
  It is highly recommended that the example be duplicated as another "Game" before being edited, as if it is ever updated, downloading those updates could overwrite some local modifications. The example can be made into another "game" by copying the "Sonic" folder and renaming it, and also copying "sonic.gdf" in the "gdf" folder and renaming it. The renamed gdf must then be edited so that the word "sonic" on the "Path" line is changed to the name of the new Game folder. This will make the Game available in the "Installed Games" list. Also, both "stealth.hapisan.com" and "E02/Sonic/" should be replaced by the word "NONE" (note the capital letters), so that the new Game doesn't attempt to read the original example's update notices. The "Name" field may then be updated to give the new Game a unique name.
  
  
• Specialized Background and Palette Control
  During Level Init, "Test Zone", the "Bonus Stage", and the "Special Stage call both Functions 3 and 4 from "zone00/zinit.def", "zone06/zinit.def", and "zone07/zinit.def", respectively, to run throughout level gameplay. These functions are responsible for creating the tilting and color cycling effects used in this level's background, and would cause any normal level background/palette to function improperly if not removed when a new level is created and placed directly in any of these "Zone" folders. Removing the calls to or otherwise disabling these functions will restore standard background scroll behavior.
  
  "Gemstone Garden Zone" Function 3 from "Zone02/zinit.def" to produce a slight wave effect in one portion of the farthest Tile Plane in the two-plane "outside" background, as well "Boundary Events" to swap between the "outside" and a one-plane "inside" background at several points during the level, as well as to change which "level palette" is currently being used. To restore basic background and palette operation to "Zone 2", remove the call to Function 3 from "Zone02/zinit.def", as well as all "Boundary Events" in "Zone02/zone.def".
  
  Green Hill Zone uses no special background or palette controls, but does make use of "Boundary Events" to manipulate the height of the level. To restore basic, non-managed level boundary behavior, remove all "Boundary Events" from "Zone00/zone.def".
  
  Folders "zone03", "zone04", and "zone05", contain pre-implemented, "blank" Zones that do not make use of any special background and palette functions that could adversely affect the implementation of a new, basic level. These Zones can be activated in-game by performing the Sonic 1 Level Select Cheat during the Title Screen, and selecting them on the Level Select screen that is accessible when holding "A" and pressing "Start".
  
  
• New Acts
  Creating new usable Acts for existing Zones is as simple as creating the appropriate data files and Functions, and adding references to these files and Functions to the appropriate "zone.def" file by following the Act setup format described in the Zone Def Documentation. Existing files and data may be copied to the appropriate locations and modified piece by piece if desired. To cause the new level to come up during normal gameplay in this example, the game must be made to switch to this level by using the Set_Level Script Command with the appropriate Zone and Act IDs in the Boundary Event Function that handles the preceding Act's Level-Out event. For "Test Zone", this is Function 4 in "zone00/zinit.def". Obviously, the new Act will require a new Boundary Event and Function to handle its own Level-Out event.
  
  All existing "zone" folders, 00-05, are prepared to accept up to 3 Acts.
  
  
• New Zones
  Creating new usable Zones for existing games is as simple as creating a new "zone??" folder (where "??" is a number consisting of at least two digits that represents the Zone's ID), creating the appropriate data files and Functions, and creating or modifying a "zone.def" file by following the Zone setup format described in the Zone Def Documentation. Existing files and data may be copied to the appropriate locations and modified piece by piece if desired. To cause the new level to come up during normal gameplay in this example, the game must be made to switch to this level by using the Set_Level Script Command with the appropriate Zone and Act IDs in the Boundary Event Function that handles the Level-Out event for the final Act of the preceding Zone. For "Test Zone", this is Function 4 in "zone00/zinit.def". Obviously, the new Zone's Acts will require new Boundary Events and Functions to handle their own Level-Out events.
  
  Folders "zone03", "zone04", and "zone05", contain pre-implemented, "blank" "Zones" that do not contain any pre-made level data or management Functions. These "Zones" can be activated in-game by performing the Sonic 1 Level Select Cheat during the Title Screen, and selecting them on the Level Select screen that is accessible when holding "A" and pressing "Start", and these folders may be copied before modification to speed up the process of creating new Zones, although the data files will still need to be altered to reflect the new Zone ID.
  
  
• Special Object Placement Properties
  Some Objects, such as Rings, Monitors, and Springs, have special settings that can't be set by cycling through the Debug Objects List alone. In this example, these Objects use special Scripted Debug Drawing/Placement Functions that read from up to four additional settings- the "Object Property Settings Values" of the Object Editor, where they are normally manipulated while in Object Placement Mode. The keys/buttons that control the first of these value during gameplay are listed in the Key Def Files and in-program key configuration interface as "ID Down" and "ID Up" in "Map 2: Control". Pressing these keys generally causes visible changes in the selected Object if it will respond to this value, such as a single Ring expanding into different patterns of multiple Rings, Monitors changing their content Icons, and Springs changing their pad color and bounce force. Some of these objects have more subtypes than are used in the layout for this example.
  
  
• Loops and Crossing Paths
  Loops and other crossing paths are made possible by causing the Player to change the ID of the Level Tile Plane with which he will test for collision. This is generally accomplished by using "PlaneSwitch" Objects- a Built-in Collision type that will change the Player's "Player_Solid_Plane" Variable based on the direction in which he is moving, and the left/right Plane IDs given by the Object Constants settings in the definition for an Object Type using the Built-in "PlaneSwitch" Collision. This example defines "PlaneSwitch" objects for standard 4-plane levels that switch between 2 (Primary) and 3 (Secondary), which are used in all included levels, as Game Objects 3 and 4 in "objects.def". Remember that if other levels are created that use planes other than 2 and 3 for crossing-path collision, they will need their own special "PathSwitch" objects set up to accommodate for the new IDs.
  
  
• Important Special Level Settings
  To set Player Start Position, Primary Collision Plane ID, and the two Animal Object IDs that are chosen between randomly by defeated enemies for each level, this example uses special User Registers to write these values from each Act Init Function, which are in-turn read by the Game-Global generic setup Functions in "funcs/mainfunc.def" that are also called by these Act Init Functions, and are otherwise used by other Functions during level gameplay. These are User Registers 12-16, 123, and 124, and are among those listed in "game.def".
  
  
• Attracted Ring Velocities
  As a matter of personal preference, Project Mettrix uses smaller values for looser attracted ring movement. In the unmodified example, the values used in Sonic 3 are listed as comments within the Attracted Ring Movement Function (Function 3 in "objects/objmv.def").
  
  
• Underwater Spring Force
  As a matter of preference, Project Mettrix cuts the vertical velocity value applied by springs in half. The original games leave the value as-is and instead rely on a vertical velocity cap when leaving water to prevent the player from having too much upward momentum when exiting the water after hitting a spring. Bit 5 of User Register 24, "Game State Flags" will toggle between these two states. Setting the flag to (or leaving it at) 0 will cause the original games' spring/water behavior to be used. Setting the flag to 1 will enable Mettrix's spring/water behavior. This flag may be toggled on a per-level basis by setting/unsetting it during any level's Act Init function, or, for Mettrix behavior for the entire game, set it to 1 during any Function run during game init. If the original games' behavior is desired, nothing needs to be done, but if it is toggled on for only certain levels, don't forget to manually set the flag back to 0 for levels where "Mettrix" behavior is not desired.
  
  
• Registers Listing
  "game.def" contains a listing of all User Registers used by this game.

• Etc.
  There may be some considerations that aren't listed here, in addition to extra functionality that exists but is not taken advantage of in this example's example gameplay.
  

Frequently Asked Questions:

This section lists answers to Frequently Asked Questions -


• "Didn't I see Test Zone in Megamix?"
  Yes, this is the same "Test Zone" that's "secretly"-accessible in the 2008 half-release of "Sonic Megamix". Stealth, the lead programmer, is the one that put it there just for the fun of it. He did this about two years after he first created the level for E02 Demonstration 6, released in 2006, following its parent- the original Sonic the Hedgehog test level for E02, which was first released with E02 Demonstration 2 in 2004 and featured the same graphics and similar layout structures.
