# of sprite sets:     5

This value specifies the number of sprites that should be loaded for this set.



# of Sprites in set 0:     4


The data for each sprite is listed immediately below in the following format:

Sprite ? file:


This value specifies the ID number of the graphics file from which to load the desired art.



Sprite 0 file:     1


xoff in file:
yoff in file:


These values specify the X and Y position of the upper-left corner of the region to copy from the art file.



xoff in file:    98
yoff in file:    15


Width:
Height:


These values specify the width and height of the region to copy from the art file.



 Width:    16
Height:    16

Num of objects: 128

Object ID:  26

# of Zones:   1

This value specifies the "Zone" setting (as defined in the Project File) for which the Object will use this set of data. (Ex: If this value is "1", this data will only be used if the currently-loaded Project File's "Zone ID" setting is also "1")

This value is unprefixed, but is hexadecimal.

A value of "FF" represents the "default" settings, but for this to be true, it must also be listed before any other "Zone". For any Object type that only uses one set of data, this value should be "FF". For any Project File's "Zone ID" setting that does not have a correspoinding "Zone Entry" setting for this Object, this Object will be displayed and edited using the data for the "FF" entry.



 Zone Entry:  FF

This entry is used to supply a short textual description of the Object, which will be shown on the Object Editor's "Status" display and on the Object Selector list.



Description: Monitor

All Objects contain a parameter BYTE, which usually represents several smaller bitfields that each control separate settings.

(Note: In the case of Crackers/Chaotix-style Objects, read "BYTE" as "WORD").

This value specifies the number of settings bitfields that will be defined for this Object.



Num Bitfields:   1


The data for each bitfield is listed immediately below in the following format:

BitField ?:


This value is unprefixed, but is binary.

This is a textual representation of the binary form of the Object's parameter BYTE, specifying which bits belong to this particular bitfield. Bits that belong to this field should be represented as "1"'s, while bits that do not belong to this field should be represented as "0"'s.



BitField 0: 00001111


This entry is immediately followed by entries supplying short textual descriptions for each of the possible values for this bitfield in the following format:

Desc ?:


This entry is used to supply a short textual description to be displayed when this bitfield is set equal to this value, which will be shown on the Object Editor's "Status" display.



Desc  0: Blank

This is the value that SonED2 will assign to the Parameter BYTE by default when this type of Object is selected from within the Object Selector.

This value is unprefixed, but is hexadecimal.


DefaultParam:   0

This is the value that SonED2 will assign to the "Unknown Flag" by default when this type of Object is selected from within the Object Selector. Valid settings are



0	-	Undefined
1	-	Undefined


By default, this flag has no meaning. It is not present at all in Sonic Crackers/Knuckles' Chaotix.


DefaultFlag:   0

This is the value that SonED2 will assign to the flip/mirror directional flags by default when this type of Object is selected from within the Object Selector. Valid settings are:



0	-	Normal
1	-	Backward
2	-	Upside-down
3	-	Backward and Upside-down


These flags do not exist in Sonic Crackers/Knuckles' Chaotix, and thus, this value is meaningless in that case.


DefaultDir:   0

This is the value that SonED2 will assign to the "Remember Sprite State Flag" by default when this type of Object is selected from within the Object Selector. Valid settings are:



0	-	The Object will reset whenever the player moves far enough away, regardless of whether or not it is capable of certain persistent states
1	-	Objects that have persistent states (such as destroyed enemies, collected items, etc) will not reset until the level is reset


This value is only meaningful to Sonic 1, Sonic CD, and Sonic 2. Sonic 3 (& Knuckles) and Sonic Crackers/Knuckles' Chaotix do not use a flag for this functionality.



DefltRemember:   1

The Parameter byte can control graphical aspects of the Object as well as functional aspects. Because of this, it is possible to define different graphic display setups for an Object based on its bitfield settings.

This values specify the number of bitfields that affect the way the Object is displayed. This is not necessarily the total number of bitfields, because not all of these fields will have a graphical effect.



Num Dependants:   1


The ID value of each of these bitfield is listed immediately below in the following format:

Dependant ?:


This is the ID number of the bitfield that will affect the display of the Object. The bitfield ID numbers are determined by the order in which they are defined in this file, with the first bitfield to be defined having an ID of 0.



Dependant 0:   0

This value specifies the number of ways in which this Object can be drawn according to its bitfield settings.

This value does not necessarily have to correspond with the total number of "Dependants" as listed above. If a "type" is not found that corresponds with an Object's current settings, it will display as "type" 0 by default.

For an Object to be considered to be any one of the defined types, the values of each of its "Dependant" bitfields must all be equal to their corresponding "Val?" entries for that type.



Num Types:   9


Val?: [...]


This entry is repeated as many times as specified by the "Num Dependants" setting. If there are no "Dependants", this entry must be completely omitted.

This value specifies the value that this "Dependant" bitfield must have for this Object to be displayed as this "type". The first of these entries defines the value that the bitfield listed as "Dependent" 0 must have, the second defines the value that "Dependent" 1 must have, etc.



Val0:   0


XMin:
YMin:
XMax:
YMax:


Each of these values is an offset from the Object's position within the level that define a rectangular area within which the mouse cursor will be considered to be "hovering over" the Object.

In order, these values define the leftmost, uppermost, rightmost, and lowermost sides of this area.

In general, it is best to set these values such that they surround the entire set of sprite graphics that are drawn to represent this Object.



XMin: -16
YMin: -16
XMax:  16
YMax:  16


# of Sprites:


This value specifies the number of Sprites that should be drawn to represent this Object while it is in this state.



# of Sprites:   1


The data for drawing each of these sprites is listed immediately below in the following format:

Sprite ? ID:
Set:


These values, in this order, supply the ID number of the sprite to draw, and the ID number of the set from which to obtain the sprite.



Sprite 0 ID:  10
        Set:   1


Direction:


This value specifies the direction in which the sprite should be drawn. Valid settings are:



0	-	Normal
1	-	Backward
2	-	Upside-down
3	-	Backward and Upside-down




Direction:   0


XOff:
YOff:


These values are added to the X and Y level position of the Object to determine where its upper-left corner should be drawn.



xoff: -15
yoff: -15
