Heya!

Found the basegame score to be pointless & not really serving anything purposeful?
Then here's a huge addon to the system that change the way you approach levels!

Featuring a score bonus & ranking system akin to Sonic Adventure 2 or Sonic Unleashed that gives you extra points at the end of a level whenever you perform certain actions then gives you an E to an S rank depending on how well you do!

It also records how fast you are beating a level while at that!

& for those S-Rank hunters, comes included, is an optional setting to reset checkpoints when you're in the world map!


Not only that, this script also has support for smwMap.lua aswell!

Oooh! this looks soo stylish! I hope to use it in a later project.

Ok but the bars that show the bonuses popping out is super smooth, easily one of the most satisfying things I’ve seen in a while.

Grandioso!
A must-use for sure!

if only i had this when i was working on castle of oddities 2

minor update to rankSystem.lua!

now including the option to turn off the built-in level timer & time records + fixes on the barOffsets settings not working properly & a few new extra settings to offset the bars & the ranking letter vertically + victory wait times are no longer hardcoded & can be modifiable!

This is one of my favorite scripts I have used so far. It’s incredibly easy to configure and super dynamic, and the compatibility with smwMap is so nice.

or you can update it or include it in another installment. You cant change the past, but you can with the future

it really wouldn't be worth it to update my existing episode. i wrote essentially my own scoring system for my episode, the main benefit to be gained by switching to this system would just been the ability to have a nice score tally at the end and that's really not worth it. this is still far more polished than what i did though, if i ever do a castle of oddities 3 (which isn't planned) i'm definitely using this script

Question, is there a way to replace the E with an F?

I am using this code for my episode, and the ranks work fine, but it won't be displayed in the worldmap.
This is the code in the luna.lua file of the episode (simplified):

Do I have to code something in specific in the map.lua file too or something?

I’m pretty sure you need to put the require call in map.lua. If it doesn’t work, then try reporting it.

Easily, the simplest solution is just use a different image with an F instead of an E

Code: Select all

rankSystem.timer = {false, 768, 47}

local levels = {
	{"1-1.lvlx",48000,9000},
}
for i = 1, #levels do
	rankSystem.registerLevel(
		levels[i][1], -- registers the levelname per level
		levels[i][2], -- registers the requirement per level
		levels[i][3] -- registers the time preset per level
	)
end

function rankSystem.onLevelComplete(score,rank,time) -- runs upon the player completing a level
	if rank <= 0 then
		SFX.play(80)
	end
end

function rankSystem.onRankGive(rank) -- runs upon the final rank being revealed
	if rank == #rankSystem.rankThresholds then
		SFX.play(84)
	end
end

Do I have to code something in specific in the map.lua file too or something?

did you use

local smwMap = require("smwMap")
local rankSystem = require("rankSystem")

Obviously, but I don't feel comfortable with my spriting skills.

In its current state its just a rip from another Sonic game, given that it is mostly typographical you just can use spriters resource to find an extract a ripped font and just copy and paste it with minimal changes on your end
