@Happiz Good to know your stand on it. On an unrelated note can you make legacy rings an option. I'd like to do more casual play with vaccum ore bag cheese.

I get noticeable lag while using the accessories in certain areas of my world, it might be a conflict with other mods, but I'm not sure.

Fantastic mod. Vanilla Terraria is great, but as a Sonic fan, this mod makes the game so much more enjoyable and feel more "right at home."

Roll, Spin Jump, Spin Dash, and Homing Attack are all staples that are implemented well. I do think Homing Attack range is way too long, but maybe that's necessary since later bosses have crazy mobility and projectile attacks. I don't know because I'm still in pre-hardmode.

I prefer to play without Boost or Lightspeed Dash (which should be renamed to Lightspeed Attack, btw), though. They have tendency to misfire when I don't want them to. If we could turn off specific skills with skill tokens, that would be great.

I also think either of the Sonic acc should negate fall damage by default. It's so awkward to worry about fall damage while being Sonic. Running Shoes giving you wall slide (Shoe Spikes) would be great too, since Sonic can do that in many games.

In any case, thank you for this great mod!

If I had to be honest, I'm unsure if I ever want to add Hyper to the mod just because, to me at least, it would be kinda the same show and dance as getting Super Sonic, that being defeat the bosses and get the emeralds, that and also it would be hard to add attributes to it that would make it stand out enough to not make it feel like a rehash of said previous transformation. Not completely opposed to the idea yet, but that's where I currently stand.

Sad day I can't cheese anymore.

Also I'm so sad, you removed by ability to use Vacuum Ore Bag to hoard my rings, and not lose them.

So I was thinking Hyper Sonic could be what is used for Calamity. Then have S-cal and Exo Mechs be able to dmg you. The First Super emerald could drop from Moon Lord.

yeah i guess I forgot to fight empress of light on my sonic world, got the emerald now ty

@♛Jester♛ Is it with the spines specifically or just when jumping in general?

@CheeseBandicoot That should be Empress of Light. If it's not dropping then let me know, might be a bug.

which boss drops the pink chaos emerald? I beat all the hardmode bosses but I still haven't got it

mod having compatibility with some mods, i think especialy with calamity, when you jump in air, fps drop is very noticed, i think it not only with calamity problem, bc active with stars above include same issues

@Light4 I'm surprised I've never considered this before, honestly. I'll consider it

@majorinconvenience For the few amount of sprites in the mod, that's a major compliment

@ahrenfabbrilavrai Double tap as in press the up key twice

I dont know how to go in super sonic, this say "You can go super by double taping in the air by double tapping (m1 ig) and 50 rings and sonic abilty accesroy (sonic emblem ig)"

loving the new art

Or atleast add there spines, (Knuckles would make u glide, u get tails tails which make u glide or fly for a bit, or mighty gives u more defense or immunity to spike like projectiles, shadow can have a skating animation and silver can make u hover

(Just a suggestion) but can u make the mod more all around sonic based, adding knuckles and tails abilities, or other chars (mighty ray shadow silverr)

Thank you. The Spin Dash thing may be possible, but going up horizontal walls would probably be easier to implement than going on ceilings since I wouldn't be fighting the gravity.

Your complaint about the lack of bonus movement abilities gives me the idea of items that would help make the movement more dynamic, like throwable balloons that allow the player to gain extra height or smthn

I've completed an entire run (all boss and event bosses defeated.) with this only using sonic's movements and chaos emeralds.

Something I noticed is that you have the movement but it lacks the fun of it, besides the green chaos emerald there is no springs, or balloons, the spin dash will just stop at a wall instead of going up it to help make round a bouts possible.

Although I'm not even sure if that's possible to add. Either way the run was really fun, good job.

Actually not a bad idea. Minions aren't dyed the normal way so there might be something there worth looking into.

also, to do with the ball and dyeing it
im assuming the ball is a projectile, and thus probably wouldnt be able to be dyed. but what if you borrowed code from the critter shampoo? i have no idea how terraria modding works but i thought i should try to help

Nah, special stages have been removed due to their clunkiness (aka me not properly figuring out how subworlds work). Chaos Emeralds are instead obtained from most Hardmode bosses.

havent used this mod for a while, are the special stages still a thing? im assuming not since rings arent items anymore
if not, then that certainly is ONE way of preventing my zapinator + meteorite armor cheese lmao

@Wildberry Honestly I forgot to even consider that, so maybe I'll patch it in, at the very least jot it down.

@Basil To dye the shoes you just put the dye in the dye slot next to the accessory, as usual, but with the spines you have to put the dye in the head slot since it technically takes up that slot. The ball itself doesn't get dyed, in case you're wondering, due to me just not being to figure it out in code :/

i know this might sound dumb and all but Is it a way to add dyeing the item? I tried putting dye on it but it didnt change color i think it would be really cool.. REALLY AWESOME MOD EITHER WAY

could you perhaps code it so that Chaos Emeralds only drop if you don't already have the corresponding one in your inventory?

Some other Hardmode bosses also have them.

how do you get the other chaos emeralds? I have 4 from the mechanical bosses and plantera, but I still have to get 3 more!

nevermind i just got it

i cant exactly enter super even with 300 rings and all seven emeralds and holding up twice doesnt work

That actually was the original plan for blue emerald, but I wasn't able to figure out how to implement it, so I decided to go with the shark theme.

I feel like the blue Chaos Emerald should spawn First Fractal projectiles instead of Sharkrons

To be honest, I planned on just leaving the mod as is after the last update because I wanted to focus my attention on other projects or activities, but seeing how much feedback this mod's getting about certain issues and inconveniences, I might return to it periodically to just do a couple more touch-ups.

Honestly I love this mod, but there are some things that kind of make the experience feel "weird", First thing is lack of controls and configs, Having all the abilities set to a singular keybind is just kind of odd, I get how its fun but homing and lightning dash through enemies gets mixed up a lot (which can lead to taking contact damage unwillingly), and not being able to unlearn abilities (I wanted to not use lightning dash but yk I couldn't) is also a pretty bad con. And for double tap boost It overrides regular dashing which is another thing I wanted to take off but couldn't thats about all for now. Not sure if this mod is still being a priority project but I really like the concept of this mod and hope it keeps getting updated as its really fun and and to play with and has amazing potential to being such a bigger mod!

That's ... weird. Honestly, might be a bit hard to fix considering it's a compatibility error, but I'll still note it down.

Yeah its happening to me too, I have a playthrough with 2 of my other friends and we're getting the same issue. Every enemy is dropping ring bags and Help remotes instead of skill points and rings

Hey the new wrath of the gods calamity mod dropped recently and its effected the sonic mod in multiplayer servers, for some reason after we had a full moon enemies started dropping ring bags and omochao remotes but no rings, we think for some reason its dropping omochao remotes instead of rings cause we are getting 15 to 20 at a time and they dont stack.

There isn't, so maybe. There is the option to just not get it, but I guess someone using it for the first time wouldn't really think abt that, so maybe.

is there a way to toggle certain sonic abilities on and off, if there isnt can you maybe implement it, i personally dont like the light speed attack :(

Who knows, we could even have more character-themed accessories. We have a Sonic accessory, so why not moveset accessories for characters like Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy, Metal, etc.?

I agree with ERROR, upgrades could be interesting. And possibly some more moves, like the insta-shield, and the dropdash that I mentioned earlier.

what if the abilities had hardmode upgrades?
like homing attack -> frontiers homing attack (spam ability button to repeatedly hit an enemy if it doesn't die the previous hit)
spindash/roll -> spinboost (frontiers/lost world spindash) (hold ability button to maintain your rolling speed)
light-speed attack -> sonic drive (team sonic's team blast, heroes) (hits every target at least twice)
boost -> rocket boost/powered boost (frontiers) (faster, launches hit enemies, more damage, maybe can be extended by holding left/right on the second direction press?)
stomp -> energy stomp (basically, massive horizontal shockwave)

We need the dropdash

oh wait, i think i got it.

what's the different?

Not jump twice, hold up twice.

when you have all seven chaos emeralds and jump twice in the air with 50 rings it doesn't make you super

thanks for the feedback

I think that's a bug I'm currently fixing in the small patch I'm working on for the mod.

why can't i see the descriptions of the upgrades? like when i hovder over an upgrade it doesnt describe how it works?

i just noticed this, but it's a very nice touch that the chaos emeralds' abilities match their abilities in Sonic Superstars, overall very nice mod (shredder of worm bosses)
