Dynamic file patching?

[MainMemory]

One of the problems people often have with mods is when a mod made for an older version of the game includes a modified static object file (usually Player). Perhaps there could be some system within the mod loader where a mod can tell the loader that it wants to change Sonic's palette, and the mod loader would know where that is supposed to be in the file and create a patched version of the file in a temporary folder.

can you explain how to fix this issue exactly as i am playing a star light zone mod and it gives me the same problem. is it possible if you can explain how to fix the issue?

Take the file from the game's RSDK archive and apply the same changes that were applied to the file in the mod.

[stahpittgetzomehelp]

so i basically open the rsdk file with the rsdkv5 extractor and modify the mod's file's contents into the rsdk?

this is my first time downloading mods for sonic mania

[stahpittgetzomehelp]

so correct me if i'm wrong

You have to examine the mod's file in a hex editor, compare it to the original file for the version of Mania it was made for, and then compare that version's file with your version's file to see where the data was moved to, and copy the changes over.

one question do i have to check the "savedata.bin" file and copy the changes or do something else?

[MainMemory]

This has nothing to do with savedata.bin.
