Yeah, I forgot to mention Cave Editor has a way to remove that requirement aswell.
Also, it's spelled "voila".

I forget what i did but after clicking a couple of btutons it seems to work

would anyone know how to make custom weapons?
not art like maybe a missile launcher with 0 range or something i dont know

Armsitem.tsc contains inventory tsc (mostly the items' names and descriptions), both regular items and weapons fall under this.
They don't actually edit how the weapons work.

ArmsItem.tsc is used for weapon and item descriptions in the inventory screen, and has nothing to do with weapon functionality.

 

I found out how to edit the weapons! (Mainly)

Does anyone know how to get different sounds? It's not really needed but it would be cool just wondering

Go to the Downloads page on the main website, and you should find SeaTone. That's the program used for editing the .pxt files (sound files) for the game.

If you use Booster's Lab, it's hacking tool should come with a thingy that lets you edit some of the weapons' features, including damage and (indirectly) range.
If you want to create and import (or export) sounds, you can use this.

 

How to use ANP to turn on computer?

According to a friend, there's no animation for it, just changing the direction to "2" to turn it on, and to "0" to turn it off.

If I understood correctly, switching a computer on via ANP would be something like this?

<ANP0200:0000:0002

 

how do I change physics? im using cave editor

 

OllyDbg. Or you can just use Booster's Lab's "Hackinator."

whats ollydbg

 

whats ollydbg

A debugger that's often used in cs hacking for ASM-related stuff, you can find it here.
Do note that it's not a simple tool that's easily used, and if you want to do simple physics hacks, I'd recommend just using Booster's Lab's Hacking tool as it's much easier and faster to use. (and it's not like you are forced to keep using Booster's lab afterwards anyway)

Unless you want more than 95 rooms and the room count is past 98-115.

You can also use carrotlord's physics editor, though I'd avoid the weapon physics due to the fact that it can only edit the player and the polar star shots effectively

 

if i use boosters lab on a game i've already edited with cave editor will it mess it up and corrupt it so i can't use it again?

this has happened to me with sues workshop

No. Cave Editor and Booster's Lab are cross-compatible with each other. Just don't work on the mod with both editors at the same time.

sues workshop is a death sentence for any mod for this reason

When I run mods, the aspect ratio is stretched to 16:9. How can I force mods to run in 4:3?
