Score DX is a series of mods for the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games to redesign the score system so that it accurately reflects player skill.
- The time bonus now linearly decreases over time rather than operating on thresholds.
- Enemies give more points and no longer give you 10,000 points for high combos.
- Special stages give far less points and no longer give points if failed.
- Life monitors give points.
- Many miscellaneous level objects no longer give points.
- Points are lost upon death.
See the individual mod pages for more game-specific info.
You can download a version of the mod for each game on GameBanana as you could with any other mod.
If compatibility is needed with other mods, see Mod Generation.
A gen_mods.py Python script should be available in the folder for each game. It can be used to generate a version of Score DX based off of certain script folders.
python gen_mod.py <GAME SCRIPTS FOLDER> [MOD SCRIPTS FOLDERS]...
It should be used by running the script with the game's script folder as an argument, followed by the script folders of the mods you want Score DX to be compatible with (in order from lowest priority to highest priority).
