Dreamcast Conversion Update 11 public beta test General changes All levels and models are now loaded from external files in the mod's system\data folder All Adventure Fields, boss battles and the majority of Action Stages have been re-exported from the original Dreamcast game with new transparency and collision fixes All ingame models with vertex colors (from <10 up to ~120 in every level) have been replaced with their Dreamcast counterparts, which resulted in improved visual and lighting accuracy to the original game - a total of 830 SADX models are now being replaced by the mod All stray material colors in the entire game have been fixed to match the Dreamcast version The mod has been thoroughly reworked to use a less hardcoded system for texture and UV animations The levels now use custom material/COL flags to tell the mod which models need transparency fixes, alpha rejection fixes, white diffuse etc. The models for a specific stage now load when that stage loads - this makes the mod start up a bit faster at the cost of slightly longer title card display The "Extra" option in SET Layout Fixes has been removed, and the "Normal" SET Fixes are now the default option The "Off" option in SET Layout Fixes has been replaced with a separate option "Use original Dreamcast SET files" Added a config toggle for white diffuse (leave it enabled for a Dreamcast-like look) The Light Speed Dash distance hack has been toned down to avoid various speed-related issues All "SetClip" functions from SADX have been disabled to avoid interfering with Dreamcast levels Item capsules (including the "air" version) now look much better Cutscene fixes The helicopter in Sonic's first cutscene is now rendering correctly The cars now load properly in the cutscene before the Egg Walker battle The camera transition after Sonic's Light Speed Dash cutscene in the sewers is no longer awkward Fixed a number of transparency issues with Master Emerald pieces and light rays in various cutscenes Several other objects (Chaos Emeralds, Tornado 2 pre-transformed) now render much better in cutscenes Gamma uses the proper hover animation and is no longer stuck after landing in some Egg Carrier cutscenes Fixed several issues with Sonic's jumps in the cutscene where he follows Eggman escaping from the Egg Carrier Station Square Added more transparency fixes for level objects (pool chairs/parasols) Fixed fadeout of the breakable fence (OMSaku) in Gamma's version of the stage Fixed an animation error with car wheels Minor transparency and lighting fixes for level models Egg Carrier The EGGMAN buttons that unlock the Chao Garden now look identical to their Dreamcast counterparts Added a collision model (from SADX) around the transporter that is only active during gameplay Fixed various minor transparency issues around the level Improved the look of the table in Eggman's room Fixed material colors/palette selection on various objects Lighting/material fixes for Egg Carrier NPC models Transparency fixes for some objects (crashed Tornado 2) Replaced the entire model used in the Egg Carrier's transformation scene Some UV-less level models have had UVs ported from the SADX version of the level for better visuals Repositioned Gamma's Laser Scope upgrade that was previouly under the floor Fixed the water in the water reservoir room to render above Gamma's upgrade The Chao Garden transporter effect looks a bit more vibrant now (better queue flags) Mystic Ruins Improved the look of Master Emerald glow Improved transparency handling in the jungle area Fixed some minor transparency and lighting issues with level models (e.g. the light above the door at Tails' workshop) Reworked the collision fix in Tails' workshop The sill of Tails' workshop was using a wrong texture and SADX vertex colors -
