Resources are the data files that the Hedgehog Engine loads things like 3D models, textures, animations and any other kind of data from. 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

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

Resource types
Name Description Extension Engine name Editing tools
Packfile Compressed archive containing most other resources. .pac Packfile
  • HedgeArcPack
Packfile Info Contains information about a packfile. PackfileInfo
Packfile Extended Info Contains extended information about a packfile. PackfileExtendedInfo
Depend In-engine only resource that stores information about packfile dependencies. .pac.d ResDepend
Pac General ResPacGeneral
Virtual Archive VirtualArchive

Levels

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.

Resource types
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
