Edit character sprite and main screen for SoR 1

Hello all,

How can I create a custom character for Streets of Rage 1(The very first one) and edit the main menu screen? I've found all sorts of mods and tools for SoR2 and up but nothing for the first one. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?

hi, saddly it looks that not... the great gsaurus (you can visit him on youtube) and redcrimsom, tried to do things over sor1, and the game is harder to be modified. thats way you dont encounter hacks than only for sor2, and sor3. where sor1 hacks are only a few and not include characters hacks.

sorry.

i recomended you to use sorr maker or openbor in case you would like to do something possible. today, sor1 is not very useful for hacking... sorry.

"SOR1 code is a big mess making it really hard to create any tool for it"

The vast majority of SOR1's graphics are compressed, at least SOR1 and 3 use Nemesis compression thankfully which I find easier to work with than whatever compression routine used by SOR2.

All I want to do is change Axel's name to Kalax and change his hair color to black. Would the offsets from SoR3 work for changing the text? I heard from gsaurus that there used to be a font table floating around for SoR1 but couldn't find it anywhere.

I have sor3fonttbl.zip sitting on my hard drive. I didn't know there was a table for SOR1 as well, at least not on the old SOR Online website.
