Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

If you want to get rid of a specific fireplace entity via <DNP, then you don't want to enter the number of the entity on the entity list, but rather you want to enter the event number of the specific entity you're modifying. For TCS commands that address a specific entity in the room such as <DNP, <CNP, and <ANP, you always want to have the first parameter be the command be the event number of the entity.

If you want to delete all instances of a fireplace, then you'd do what you were doing, except use <DNA instead of <DNP. <DNA0038 will delete all instances of the fireplace entity that are in the room. If there's only one fireplace entity in the place where you're using this, then <DNA0038 will work just as fine, although I wouldn't recommend getting into the habit of this, because it's just better to have the script only address a specific entity if that's all you're dealing with.

EDIT: Aaaaaaand I got ninja'd by four posts.

 

My game broke randomly
Now whenever I start it it just gives me the not responding error
yesterday it worked...
now it doesn't
and for some reason this happens even with my backups
what do you think went wrong?
I'm NOT getting the f%f9012udas error, but it's just not responding when I start it


nevermind i fixed it!

 

in one of the jenka nightmares mods they had the night ghost things (the one that sneeze yarn snowball things on the outerwall) and they drew it to look more like a machine
at one point they made it as a boss with a ton of health (like 400) but later they made it with the normal amount of health (i think 64) in another outerwall area, although it looked the same
do you guys know how they did this? I know how to give it more or less health but I don't know how to get it to vary throughout the mod..

Please help!


Also guys i'm thinking about putting a secret ending in my game, but I'm not sure how hard I want it to be to get it. I'm going to make a guide but besides that it may be a little hard to get it.
There's nothing too crazy, but at some points you have to trade weapons and many people might not do that and think it's fine

Do you think it's ok if there's a guide?

 

Here's this, for every question you've asked that can be easily answered: https://www.cavestory.org/forums/th...dding-tutorials-look-here-before-asking.1667/

 

I have a question and I don't know where i would find the answer
So i made one of the gaudis with the armor that shoot the blades, but i made it so you could talk to it and the first time i did it it didn't shoot the projectiles
however later i made another one of these gaudis with armor, and this time it is still invincible but now it shoots projectiles?
Why is this?
I don't really think I did anything different.

 

If you make certain enemies interactable they no longer target the player, and can not be attacked.

i did but it still throws the damaging blades

 

it typically doesn't disable anything, actually

 

Haven't tried with that kind, but I suppose it does' disable that part of the AI.

yeah i won't take damage touching the actual armor gaudi thing but the blades are like normal

 

So at the end of the true ending Balrog flies to the right, slight upwards to what I think is this command: <ANP0230:0020:0002. Is there a way to make Balrog go right and slight down?

 

is there a sound effect for when a dog barks? I can't find it anywhere...

Look in the sfxlist.txt file and the sound "Puppy Bark" should be in there.

Should be sound 105

Oi, let him learn on his own! Holding his hand won't always be the solution!

he might not have had sfxlist.txt or knew what it was. this would have lead to him asking a second question. yes, holding his hand isn't always the best solution, but it is definitely the fastest.

 

It's also in CaveEditor.txt, but who the fuck uses CaveEditor now these days?

 

but who the fuck uses CaveEditor now these days?

I still use cave editor...
[insert string of pointless posts arguing over which editor is better here- even though it won't matter and the exact same argument will be had a month from now]

Even if it's in CaveEditor.txt, he might not use Cave Editor or know where that is. I've been using Cave Editor forever and have never seen (or cared to look at) CaveEditor.txt. I didn't know it existed until you mentioned it just now. Again, it would be much faster to give a direct answer than to make someone look for a text file they may or may not have.

Yeah, being independent is great and all, but it can be a huge pain when those around you who know the answer won't give it to you simply because they want you to be independent/are too lazy to open up a text file and tell you the answer.

 

I mean, Walrus_Guy has been pushing it with the questions, like, those that he can easily find the answer to in the tutorials (i.e. trivial stuff and modding basics). If most modders can learn on their own, I'm pretty sure he can, too.

Yes, but he might not have the time to dig through every guide until he finds what he needs. I really don't see the problem with him asking questions in the thread about asking quick questions with fast and simple answers.

You may be right on this. However, there are 388 pages worth of questions and answers in this thread. Whatever question he may feel like asking, there's a high chance of it already being answered.

Take it with a pinch of salt, because there are many times where people would ask a question and the answers they would get are links to older posts in this thread, because the questions they asked have already been answered! It's not that hard to search, nor is it time consuming. Blame Xenforo for its inability to search up TSC commands because they're "too short" for the search engine to find, though.

 

The point of this thread is kinda that people don't have to search through the whole thing to get the answer they want, it's a good idea to try first but this thread is so big now it's often not reliable
