Sonic '06 Randomiser Suite

An all in one software suite for randomising various elements in Sonic '06 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Building

To build the Randomiser Suite, simply clone the project and its submodules using a git based solution (such as GitHub Desktop) and open the MarathonRandomiser.sln file in a recent version of Visual Studio (anything supporting .NET 6 should work fine, all the development was done using versions of Visual Studio 2022) and then compile it as normal, if the build fails it may be due to missing Nuget Packages, as the project uses Marathon for interfacing with Sonic '06's file formats, HandyControl for much nicer looking UI controls, Ookii Dialogs for better file and folder browsing, SharpCompress for extracting Voice Pack zip archives and NAudio for WAV Normalisation; ensuring that all five of those are present and accounted for should resolve any compile errors. Also check that XNCPLib and Amicitia.IO are both building as well, as they are needed for the User Interface Randomisation.

Compile warnings will be thrown regarding Possible null reference arguments and Dereferences of a possibly null reference but both of those have never caused any problem for me.
