Okay... I'm not exactly sure of the best way to handle this game's SCHG(s), seeing as it has 3 versions that are different, but are identical in some cases. Specifically, which templates should go on the Object Editing and Model Format pages? Should it have a sidebar from every game that it applies to (although the gamecube version is nowhere near enough to warrant a sidebar)? Or just for Sonic Adventure?

Alright, I think I've got something that'll work: a seperate template for pages that aren't version-specific, that links to all three main pages. MainMemory 23:00, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

If you are planning on simply documenting the locations of the strings, rather than describing the format of the file, I don't think you should. Otherwise, you could make a new "NPC Text" page to list the files and the locations of the similar data within the EXE for timed lines. SADXTweaker2 from SA Tools has editors for both.
