I'm Shane's friend. I've also asked permission to represent him on these forums since he's struggling to access the forums. He wants to know why he's normally getting 410 errors when he tries to visit the forums.

Hey I just tried uploading an animated GIF as my avatar and it wasn't animated. Did this happen during the switch to IPBoard all that time ago when I wasn't paying attention?

Hey andwhy. If you have time, would you consider porting <a href='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/index.php?/topic/2852-jenkas-nightmare-revived-finished/' class='bbc_url' title=''>my mod</a> for me? A couple of folks have been asking for it.

Very late Merry Christmas to you!

I'm sorry for bothering you, but for some reason Shane says he can't access the site no matter what browser he uses, and he wants to know if there is a reason why. :/ When he tries to access the site, it says it doesn't exist.

Just wanted to say nice job with the forums! The efforts at keeping this place running is much appreciated <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/grin2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Hey.. I need your help with the org thing. Where can I send it to you?

The favicon is currently the default IPB one, as opposed to the usual CSTSF one, please fix it.

Whoa. Did you fix that glitch with people's age going up a day early? 'Cuase my birthday's tomorrow, and, true to my actual age, my profile says that I'm still fifteen.

There is a problem with the icon that appears after status updates.

There seems to be a bit of a problem for me with the banner.

Since when did your join date change to July 15, 2007?

Hey, I want to have my name changed to just Dunc, but there's already anther user with that name. Is there an way around that?

you're quicker than me

Ah, there seems to be a bit of a glitch with the animation on the main page of the tribute site. Maybe it's just me, but the Sky Dragons' wings don't flap, but it's a sort of red and black patch on it's face. Again, maybe just me, but I'm just pointing it out.

On <a href='http://www.cavestory.org/downloads_editors.php' class='bbc_url' title=''><a href="http://www.cavestory...ads_editors.php" rel='nofollow external' class="su_links">http://www.cavestory...ads_editors.php</a></a>, for Doukutsu Assembler: It says "A cave story specific disassembler and assembler written in python." Can you change the last word to Java, since the latest version is written in Java? Thanks.

So, over two months ago I said I'd do some CS+ porting and reserved opening up a porting thread, but I'll probably not be doing that anymore. The reason for this being that I found it nigh impossible to find a way to distribute a port in its full glory without distributing any of NICALiS' graphics. Just about every mod that has custom graphics only partially changes certain sprite sheets. In which case the sprites from Cave Story that are used in that mod would have to be in there, and I'd have to make my own graphics for those in order to be able to legally distribute the port, which in my opinion would kind of defeat part of the magic and automation of porting it to CS+ and taking advantage of the graphics already made double resolution. Just about no mod whatsoever had no sprite sheet or tile set editing. Some mods like my own even had a very minor case of sprite editing, but would have a small part of it changed, and need that new sprite sheet in order for it to work. And I know of no way to make an installer that automatically makes specific changes to certain files, nor verify that a proper installation of CS+ exists before extracting the files with NICALiS' graphics. Now of course the edited .tsc .pxe and .pxm files would be fine, but I just can't find a way to easily do this without adding in extra bits of NICALiS' sprites. Of course, one thing I considered was having a download with the edited rooms, as well as the changed parts of the sprite sheets, and say "Paste this part of the image into this part of this sprite sheet." But I felt that that took away from the automation of installing a port. TL;DR, I couldn't find a way to properly port mods that could legally be distributed to anyone. So sorry if you had a plan for properly porting mods to CS+ and deliberately held back on doing it because of me.
