★ URGENT! ★ Sonic Runners Needs Ripping - Yarcaz - 05-27-2016
★ If you have any save data or have ever played Sonic Runners please copy that data save it and upload it somewhere (like mediafire as an example) and post it here so that we can access it and be able to rip more from the game and to possibly preserve it! ★
For those of you who do not know Sonic Runners is shutting down as seen by this article.
https://www.sonicstadium.org/2016/05/sonic-runners-shutting-down-next-month/
So far only bits and pieces have been ripped from sonic runners and soon there will not be any sonic runners left to rip from
I am asking for anyone and everyone who reads this to save a backup of all their data of Sonic Runners on their computers and to tell their friends and anyone else who may have sprites, models, textures, music, etc. that is not currently on the VG Resource.
We need to rip what we can from multiple people or people who have all the models and has participated in all the events, etc. so that we can do this before it is too late.
I hope that a lot of people participate!
Also if you read this please, please leave a comment, and make sure to tell others.
So... Anyone have some backups of sonic runners that has data that can be ripped now? (or know of someone that does, then please speak up!)
There currently is a sprites resource page for Sonic Runners here: http://www.spriters-resource.com/mobile/sonicrunners/
There is currently a models resource page for Sonic Runners here: http://www.models-resource.com/mobile/sonicrunners/
There is no textures resource page for Sonic Runners yet.
There is no sound resource page for Sonic Runners yet.
Question:
Should I make an equivalent thread of this, in the sprites resource, sounds resource, and textures resource to see if more people find out about this and contribute as we are trying to get everything and anything from sonic runners before it shuts down?
Also I have mentioned this to other sites here:
https://board.sonicstadium.org/topic/18767-sonic-runners-iosandroid-thread-version-20/?page=323
https://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=33831&st=1455
The official VG Resource Discord
And Sonic Paradise seems to be doing something similar as shown here:
http://www.sonicparadise.net/2016/05/campana-de-preservacion-de-sonic.html
*Maybe we should work with them while doing this?*
Currently there are the following Characters/Sprites/Models in the game [That I can think of]:
*This will be updated soon with more along with what the vg resource currently does and does not have.

Stuff that NEEDS to be ripped ASAPRE: ★ URGENT! ★ Sonic Runners Needs Ripping - Random Talking Bush - 05-27-2016
I support this, it'd be a real shame to let all that stuff go to waste. (Why can't Sega do an offline-only all-in-one package in case people still wanted to play it?)
RE: ★ URGENT! ★ Sonic Runners Needs Ripping - Xiron - 05-28-2016
Hah, I tried that game on my phone last month to see what it was. Basically: Unnecessary and lengthy loading times. I uninstalled it after a day or so.
It really irks me when game companies pull a game with no way to play it offline. Especially when it was one where you could buy things with real money.
I don't think I'll be ripping anything, but I wish you all good luck!
RE: ★ URGENT! ★ Sonic Runners Needs Ripping - Carpaccio - 05-28-2016
If someone can get me the full files from the final build of the game, I'd gladly rip all I could.
RE: ★ URGENT! ★ Sonic Runners Needs Ripping - Pingus! - 05-28-2016
I've managed to get some of the files, but only 1 model came up Ill have to play and dig deeper. On a side note, I've successfully been ripping Sonic Dash models. So those will be uploaded once I get them all ripped out and rendered.

Thank you so much for supporting this Random Talking Bush! I hope that we can spread the word and find people who have the data that we need to extract everything or mostly everything before Sonic Runners is gone for good.
Just 2 Questions:
Do you currently know of anyone with save files that might have a lot of data from Sonic Runners?
Can this be put as a news announcement on the VG Resource or on the Models Recourse Twitter or some other type of announcement to spread the word so that it is more likely that this can be accomplished?
Thank you for your time and for once again supporting this.

You tell me what you need, and I will try to get it for you! I've been trying to decode the sound files right now. It's a race against time!!!

Basically everything and anything., I will try to do some quick research so that if anyone has files they can send it to me as well so I can also help with ripping.

I made a post in the Sound Resource section about ripping the sound effects from Sonic Runners. I had uploaded a .rar containing .adx files to see if anyone can help with ripping the sound effects from the game. However when I previously tried. The end-result is very static and gross-sounding. That being said I'm lost as to how I can rip the sound effects clearly.

They're aren't encoded in ADX, it seems to be different encoding.. can't pinpoint exactly what however.

Slash suggested to use unity studio for ripping.

Alright. Is it ok if you can walk me through using it? I've never used something like this before and I want to make sure I don't mess up when trying to rip the sound effects.

Thank you very much!
RE: ★ URGENT! ★ Sonic Runners Needs Ripping - big_smile - 05-30-2016
Would anyone be able to extract the text from the game (e.g. use in the character profiles, the story).
I know it's not something VG Resource is really concerned with, but the game has a unique story and it would be nice to have the text from it. Perhaps someone here has the skills to extract it. Thanks!
