This is the '''[[Sonic Community Hacking Guide]] for ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'''''. Originally based on [[User:Nemesis|Nemesis]] and [[User:Saxman|saxman]]'s guides, this document has grown to outclass those two documents in most ways, and is now preferred over the original guides (which were written three or four years ago with limited knowledge of the game's code). This is due to the updating of those documents to give them a living, breathing nature.

===Art Editing===
 
−
There are several different tools that can be used to edit art besides the hex editor. [[SonED]] is probably the best tool to use for editing level art, and can also be used on palettes. [[HivePal]] is also a great tool for editing palettes. [[Sonik Sprite]] is useful for editing uncompressed art; it gets its name from its ability to edit Sonic's sprites. [[LOst Library]] is most likely the best choice for editing compressed art in the [[Nemesis compression|Nemesis format]].
 
  
−
If, however, you still want to do it yourself, your best bet is to download the Sonic 1 Split disassembly. Decompress the archive into a new folder, and place your S1 ROM, ''in binary format and named "S1.bin"'', in that folder. Run the batch file "split.bat". This will split up all the art into its own binary files, which you can then decompress and edit. When you're done, run "combine.bat".

====Uncompressed Art Locations====
+
==References==
−
Most of this information was taken from [[SCHG:Nem_s1|Nemesis's guide]]. Please excuse any mistakes or misunderstandings, as that guide wasn't exactly well-written. A description is written in parentheses after the original name if I deem it necessary; if I don't know what it is, "Unknown" appears in that place. Please correct this if you know. It doesn't list the number of blocks taken up, so if you know, put it in. Otherwise, I'll find out eventually.

====Palette Locations====
 
−
Usually, it's not really necessary to edit a palette in hex. Palette editors give you instant feedback for each RGB value, and the palette can be easily saved as a separate binary and reimported into the ROM. However, it is sometimes desireable or necessary to do it in hex, and it can't hurt to know how it's done.

These are the ROM offsets of the palettes in Sonic 1, as listed by [[HivePal]]:

==== Sprite Status Table ====
 
−
The Sprite Status Table is located at RAM address $D000. Each entry is $40 bytes long. Here is a list of all the values for one entry in the SST:
 
−
 
−
{|border="1"
 
−
!Offset||Size||Description
 
−
|-
 
−
| $00 || byte || Object type
 
−
|-
 
−
| $01 || byte|| Action flags. The bitfield looks like this:
 
−
*Bit 0 is the horizontal mirror flag. If set, the object will be flipped on its horizontal axis.
 
−
*Bit 1 is the vertical mirror flag.
 
−
*Bit 2 is the coordinate system flag. If clear, the object will be positioned by absolute screen coordinates. This is used for things like the HUD and menu options. If set, the object will be positioned by the playfield coordinates, i.e. where it is in a level. Sonic uses both positioning systems.
 
−
*Bits 3, 4, and 5 are either unused, or their purpose is unknown.
 
−
*Bit 6 is not used in this game.
 
−
*Bit 7 is the draw object flag. It will be set if the object was onscreen when it came time to draw things. Otherwise, it is clear. There should be no reason to edit this flag, but it's good to know what it does.
 
−
|-
 
−
| $02 || word || Starting art block.
 
−
*First nybble: Palette line the sprite will use.
 
−
*Latter 3 nybbles: Starting art block in VRAM for which the object reads from. Multiply by $20 to get VRAM address; divide VRAM address by $20 to get this value.
 
−
|-
 
−
| $04 || long || Mappings offset
 
−
|-
 
−
| $08 || word || If the object is Sonic, this is the X playfield coordinate. Otherwise:
 
−
*If in playfield positioning mode, it is the X playfield coordinate.
 
−
*If in screen positioning mode, it is the X screen coordinate.
 
−
|-
 
−
| $0A || word || If the object is Sonic, this is the X screen coordinate. Otherwise:
 
−
*If in playfield positioning mode, it is unused.
 
−
*If in screen positioning mode, it's the Y screen coordinate.
 
−
|-
 
−
| $0C || word || If the object is Sonic, this is the Y playfield coordinate. Otherwise:
 
−
*If in playfield positioning mode, it is the Y playfield coordinate.
 
−
*If in screen positioning mode, it is unused.
 
−
|-
 
−
| $0E || word || If the object is Sonic, this is the Y screen coordinate. Otherwise:
 
−
*It's unused.
 
−
|-
 
−
| $10 || word || Horizontal (X) speed
 
−
|-
 
−
| $12 || word || Vertical (Y) speed
 
−
|-
 
−
|$14 || byte ||Potential speed (inertia).
 
−
|-
 
−
|$16 || byte ||Height/2
 
−
|-
 
−
|$17 || byte ||Width/2
 
−
|-
 
−
|$18 || byte ||Sprite priority (00 = front).
 
−
|-
 
−
|$19 || byte ||Width of the object, in pixels
 
−
|-
 
−
|$1A || byte ||Current animation frame to display. i.e, the frame currently being displayed on-screen, according to the animation script (currently parsed mappings frame, in other words).
 
−
|-
 
−
|$1B || byte ||Current frame in animation script. i.e, the frame entry IN the animation script being currently processed.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$1C || byte ||Animation number. When an animation ID is moved here, it's processed and displayed.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$1D || byte ||Restart animation flag (when $1D is not equal to $1C, animation restarts)
 
−
|-
 
−
|$1E || byte ||Animation frame duration (time until next frame).
 
−
|-
 
−
|$20 || byte ||Collision response bitfield. Tells what the object will do if hit by the character. The bitfield is in the format TTSS SSSS. TT is the type of collision - 00 is enemy, 01 increments the routine counter, 10 is harm, and 11 seems to be a special thing for the starpole. SSSSSS is the size, lifted from a lookup table in the collision response routine.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$21 || byte ||Custom collision property, for special interaction with Sonic. This is used by bosses, badniks, bumpers and other objects. The way in which this byte is used is different for each object. Bosses use this byte as a hit counter.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$22 || byte
 
−
|Object's orientation. $00 is normal, $01 is X flipped, $02 is Y flipped, and $03 is X-Y flipped. These values repeat until $FF. Note that this byte has a different meaning for Sonic (see below).
 
−
|-
 
−
|$23 || byte ||Respawn index reference number, used by badniks, rings and monitors. Each destroyable object is assigned an index number (01, 02, 03 etc.) which refers to a list at $FC00 in the RAM.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$24 || byte ||Routine counter.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$25 || byte ||Second routine counter. This is used for some of the more complicated objects.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$26 || word ||Angle.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$28 || byte ||Object subtype. For example, the current monitor selected. See the Object List above for values. Has a different meaning for Sonic.
 
−

−
| $29-$3F || || Object's scratch RAM

!Offset||Size||Description
 
−
|-
 
−
|$22 || byte ||'''Sonic''': Special bitfield. Counting from the least significant bit:

!Bit||Hex||Description
 
−
|-
 
−
|0||$01||Orientation. Clear is left and set is right.
 
−
|-
 
−
|1||$02||Set if Sonic is in the air (jump counts).
 
−
|-
 
−
|2||$04||Set if jumping or rolling.
 
−
|-
 
−
|3||$08||Set if Sonic isn't on the ground but shouldn't fall. (Usually when he is on a object that should stop him falling, like a platform or a bridge.)
 
−
|-
 
−
|4||$10||Set if jumping after rolling.
 
−
|-
 
−
|5||$20||Set if pushing something.
 
−
|-
 
−
|6||$40||Set if underwater.
 
−
|-
 
−
|7||$80||Unused.
 
−

−
You can add the hex values together to use multiple settings at once. Also notice that the first 3 bits (0-2) are used in the character object as a second routine counter.
 
−
|-
 
−
| $28 || byte
 
−
| '''Sonic''': Seconds of air left. Usually $1E; it decrements every second while the player is underwater. Beeps on $18, $13, and $0E. Countdown starts on $0B.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$2B || byte
 
−
|'''Sonic''': Unused
 
−
|-
 
−
| $30-$31 || word
 
−
| '''Sonic''': Remaining invunerability time. Starts at $0078 after Sonic is hit, and seems to decrement every frame until it reaches $0000.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$32-$33 || word ||'''Sonic''': Remaining time of invincibility.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$34-$35 || word ||'''Sonic''': Remaining time of Speed Shoes.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$36 || byte ||'''Sonic''': Seems to be related with the collision block boundaries (this isn't a flag)
 
−
|-
 
−
|$37 || byte ||'''Sonic''': Seems to be related with the collision block boundaries (the opposite side of $36) (this isn't a flag)
 
−
|-
 
−
|$39 || byte ||'''Sonic''': Unused.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$3A-$3B || word
 
−
|'''Sonic''': Unused.
 
−
|-
 
−
|$3C || byte ||'''Sonic''': Set if jumping.

SCHG: Sonic the Hedgehog

This is the Sonic Community Hacking Guide for Sonic the Hedgehog. Originally based on Nemesis and saxman's guides, this document has grown to outclass those two documents in most ways, and is now preferred over the original guides (which were written three or four years ago with limited knowledge of the game's code). This is due to the updating of those documents to give them a living, breathing nature.
