Resources are the data files that contain things like 3D models, textures, animations and any other kind of data. Many of these resources are stored in proprietary formats optimized for fast loading times, and thus require special tools to be edited by modders. Many of them are also built using proprietary SEGA technologies, like the ASM animation system. On this page we provide a list of all known resources supported by the Hedgehog Engine, their support in various games and tools that can be used to edit them.

Levels are a new system in Sonic Frontiers and up that allow the game to dynamically load other resources when they are needed. They specify which resources need to be loaded to load a certain "level". This is a system similar to Unreal Engine's level system.

Resources are the data files that contain things like 3D models, textures, animations and any other kind of assets. Many of these resources are stored in proprietary formats optimized for fast loading times, and thus require special tools to be edited by modders. Many of them are also built using proprietary SEGA technologies, like the ASM animation system. On this page we provide a list of all known resources supported by the Hedgehog Engine, their support in various games and tools that can be used to edit them.

Archives[edit | edit source]

Archives are compressed archives ("zip files") that contain most of the game's data.

Name Description Extension Engine name Editing tools
Packfile Compressed archive containing most other resources. .pac Packfile
Packfile Info Contains information about a packfile. PackfileInfo
Packfile Extended Info Contains extended information about a packfile. PackfileExtendedInfo
Depend Stores information about packfile dependencies. .pac.d ResDepend N/A
Pac General ResPacGeneral
Virtual Archive VirtualArchive
AR File Archive containing resources. .ar N/A
ARL File Link file containing data on what each .ar file stores and its appropriate splits. .arl

Levels[edit | edit source]

Levels are a new system in Sonic Frontiers and up that allow the game to dynamically load other resources when they are needed. They specify which resources need to be loaded to load a certain "level". This is a system similar to Unreal Engine's level system.

Name Description Extension Engine name Editing tools
Level A special resource that's only used to check whether a level has been loaded in the engine. It does not contain any data. .level ResLevel N/A
Master Level Information about levels: which levels depend on each other, and also which resources to load in order to load a level. .mlevel ResMasterLevel

Configuration Parameters[edit | edit source]

Name Description Extension Engine name Editing tools
Reflection Reflection-enabled configuration data. Contains parameters that can be edited by developers without changing game code. .rfl ResReflection

Set Objects[edit | edit source]

Set object data is what specifies where game objects are placed and how they are configured. This is what you'll be editing most when making a stage mod.

Name Description Extension Engine name Editing tools
