'''SonED2''' is a total re-build of the SonED [[Sonic Hacking Utilities| tool]] that goes in a slightly different direction.  Unlike its predecessor, SonED2 edits individual data files, allowing them to be managed manually.  This ensures better flexibility in overall game data management, and has also helped to make SonED2 more powerful than the original SonED.  SonED2 is faster, more stable and boasts more features.  The two most noteworthy are probably the ability to edit Height Maps, and the ability to import [[SCHG:SonED2_Manual/Tile Editor| Tiles]], Blocks, and [[SCHG:SonED2_Manual/Art_Importing| Chunks]] from .pcx images, both of which dramatically increase the room for creativity.

History

SonED (a portmanteau of the words "SONic" and "EDitor", inspired by the DooM editor "DoomED") was created by Stealth from the Sonic hacking community. In an attempt to augment his cost-of-living budget, the program was originally introduced as shareware at a price of $30; he later reconsidered and reduced the cost to $15 before any sales were made, after which only a few people decided to register. Eventually, someone had released their registered copy, which led to Stealth leaving the scene. Shortly afterward, he came back to release newer versions of his SonED utility for free, after having contacted the registrants on the subject.

It was also the first level editor to feature Sonic CD for PC editing.
