2 Player Shadow The Hedgehog

About

This project aims to get 2 Players working in Shadow The Hedgehog (GameCube)'s 1P modes. Story Mode, Select Mode, Expert Mode, Last Story.

Level Status (current changes)

Warp Warning

Platforms (either a square or alien-hovering platform object) have been added to the entrance and exit of Warpholes.

Levels marked with the yellow ! will have these platforms.

Make sure P2 is standing on a platform before P1 goes in a Warphole.

If P2 jumps into a Warphole first instead of P1, P2 must wait at the Warphole exit until P1 also jumps into the Warphole.

Release 2

• New recommended method of play is Nintendont (no stutter issues)
• Dolphin Clock override now defaults to OFF (turn it on if you have performance issues)
• See HOW TO PLAY.txt
• See WARNINGS BEFORE PLAYING.txt
• Nintendont stuff added
• Has Dolphin Clock set to 165% by default - Adjust if game runs very slow on your system (try 100%, then increment slowly).
• Due to the many issues still remaining, it is highly recommended to have 'Infinite Lives' enabled
• Chaos Control is disabled by default
• Chunks are tied to P1 only (stay near each other)
• Air bug is still present (temp-fix inbound...)

Problems (To be fixed)

• Air bug (occasionally P1 or P2 will be stuck in the floating state until hurt when activating a wind tunnel)
• Segments with automated spline sections (e.g. hang-rail in Circus Park) leaves other player behind, only activates on P1
• Fixing vehicles alter P1's camera if P2 uses it
• Some segments where a vehicle is required will not have enough distance to cause a respawn
• Display P2 UI components (Ring count, Ammo count) **more issues than expected for this, putting on hold
• Bungees/Pulleys/RequiredVehicles should be doubled in layout (optional, not needed to beat most stages)
• Certain vehicles alter P1's camera if P2 uses it
• Certain vehicles are only responding to P1's control pad even if P2 is in it
• Turrets alter P1's camera if P2 uses it
• Warphole object leaves other player behind
• Chaos control will leave other player behind; if P2 activates P1's camera is altered*
• Gravity switches on Space Gadget only alter P1's gravity
• SuperShadow only activates for P1
• Level chunks load/unload based on P1 only
• Checkpoint Warping/Backtracking only moves P1

Done so far:

• Load P2 in any mode (including camera)
• Enable splitscreen in 1P, disable when in cutscenes/event cameras* (chaos control is still an issue)
• Layout objects load when P2 is within render distance
• Pick any 2P mode Shadow as a character
• nukkoro2.inf spawn positions for every level
• P2 sound listener fixed (related to GameMode byte)

Problems (Not sure if will fix)

• P2 spawns according to nukkoro2.inf initially fine, but on restart seems to occasionally be off by +-5.
• Partner/Mission Helpers (Sonic, Doom's Eye, Espio, etc...) only spawn if P1 sees them first (or is in-range). (Side effect of current layout objects load patch)
• Culling issue on Final Haunt for P2's screen when near force-fields
