This basically means that each character has a pre-defiened selection of colours that are used and can be used for this character. Each character has their own colour-palette. Now you can start repainthing them or replacing them.īut there is one important thing here that you must know.

Now you can see all the sprites for the character like walking, running, jumping, spindash etc. So now open the character sprites that you want to edit for example Sonic.gif in GraphicsGale or whatever you are using.

I will explain how to do it with GraphicsGale though. But you can use any other too, the procces is similiar with each one. In my opinion this one is the easiest to use here. You could use either common ones like Photoshop or Gimp, but I recommend using a program called GraphicsGale (download here: ).

To do this you need a program that can open these files. gif files like Sonic.gif and Tails.gif etc. To edit the sprites (sprites are basically the images of the character) go to your Sonic Mania folder then your Data folder and then Sprites -> Players. I will now show you how to make a character mod, though editing any other sprites in the game (like for example if you want to change how rings look) will be the exact same proccess. Inside players are all the sprites for Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mighty and Ray. Inside there are folders like "Global" (like rings and other items), "Special" (special stages), all the different zones (like "AIZ" for Angel Island Zone or "GHZ" for Green Hill Zone etc.) and also "Players". If you want to make a character mod like putting a different character over Sonic for example or change any other sprites, go inside your Data folder and head to "Sprites". From there you can access all parts of the game very quickly! For example if you are in a level just go back to the Menu and enter the level again, then your changes will be applied ingame! You can also acces the "Dev Menu" while you are in Data folder mode by pressing the Escape-key on your keyboard. You can even mod the game while it is running (you don't have to close and re-open it for changes to take effect), you just need to reload the level in which you are right now. This will load the game files directly from the new Data folder. Make sure that the Data folder is located inside your Sonic Mania folder (still the same: "X:\Steam\steamapps\common\Sonic Mania").Now rename your Data.rsdk or move it somewhere else outside the Sonic Mania folder. This will extract all the files from the Data.rsdk and put them inside a new folder called "Data".Inside this are all the sprites, sounds, stages, models etc. Drag this file ("Data.rsdk") onto the "rsdkv5_extract.exe" which is inside the RSDKv5.zip you downloaded. Inside the Sonic Mania folder there is a file called "Data.rsdk". Now to extract the game files you must go to your Sonic Mania folder which should be located in your steam files under X:\Steam\steamapps\common\Sonic Mania (" X " is just a general letter for the partition, for you it might be C or some other letter). Unpack it using WinRar or 7-zip or whatever unzipping software. You can put this anywhere on your PC. I myself have it inside the Sonic Mania folder for simplicity sake.

The first thing you have to do before you can mod anything is to extract the files from the game: You must download RSDKv5 Extractor from here.

Mainly they come down to things I wish I had known or even things I wish had existed back then when I modded Mania first (like a year ago) and also just all the basics that you need all in one. Hi guys, I thought I'd make this quick (edit: or maybe not so quick) tutorial to maybe spare some people from frustrations I have experienced while modding Mania.
