Sonic 1 - Text Code Generator

From Sonic Retro

The Zone Title Card window

Sonic 1 - Text Code Generator (or simply S1TCG) is a text editing tool created by Selbi. With this tool you can edit and generate any kind of text for Sonic 1 (originally just for Title Cards, then changed). It was designed for the Hivebrain June 2005 disassembly (info) (1,016 kB), but with some digging it's also working for the SVN version. Because it was written in Visual Basic 2008 you will need .NET Framework v2.0 or better (v3.0 is recommended).

Prior Versions

Tools and help windows

Version 3.0 of the utility contains (or at least partially) the following tools:

  • Zone Title Cards text generator
  • "SONIC HAS PASSED" generator
  • Credits Title Cards v2.0 (optimized tool for creating credits damn easy)
  • Credits Title Cards text generator (Beta)
  • "SONIC TEAM PRESENTS" generator (optimized version of the Credits generator)
  • Level Select Text generator (for references, releated to level select text)
  • Level Select Text editor (for directly editing the misc\menutext.bin)
  • Header generating tool (the thing your emulator shows)

The help windows are there as a replacement for a readme.txt.

Planned features

Some things which are planned, but cannot be made (yet):

  • A feature so Title Cards are not off-center
