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.
