    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.

    Is it just the forums or the site as well?
    What url is he getting the error on?

    Tell Shane to go to command prompt and type in "tracert cavestory.org". Right-click on the icon for the command prompt window, then go to edit > select all and then edit > copy. Paste it into an email and send it to realmmaster26@hotmail.com

    I think both the site AND the forums Shane can't access.

    Whatever the problem is, it must be my ISP that's blocking me access, since I can access these forums just fine via a proxy server.

    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?
    Tpcool
    Tpcool
    Oh and is it possible for you to change it so it can work? That would be really cool.

    Was the avatar too big (over 100x100 pixels)? That could cause it.

    Aha! Thank you very much!

    Alright.

    Though as your mod can be quite longwinded with the <TRA and mapdata work involved and since I can have occasional bouts of procrastination please, please prod me repeatedly if you don't hear anything from me.

    Of course, thanks a lot.

    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.

    Andy, are you there?

    Apparently, either andwhyisit is on a vacation of sorts, or andwhyisit is deliberately not replying, or he's trying to figure out what's going on.

    Regardless, apparently now I can access this place. Guess having a power outage yesterday and being unable to access the Internet <em class='bbc'>and</em> getting almost everything on my computer except for Google Chrome and the default Windows 7 stuff deleted by a virus helped. :/

    This still an issue? I only just got back.

    Hey.. I need your help with the org thing. Where can I send it to you?
    andwhyisit
    andwhyisit
    Which "org thing"? I can think of several org-related things off the top of my head. Can you be more specific?

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

    Might take a while for browser caches to clean out and use the new icon but the change has been made.

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

    The banner looks fine in every browser I could test it in.
    Try clearing your cache and then refreshing.

    Oh sorry, I'd thought I'd left another comment saying that it was fixed. I blame my horrible internet.
    But anyway, maybe I should wait until everything seems to be done before reporting things.

    Since when did your join date change to July 15, 2007?
    andwhyisit
    andwhyisit
    That was always my join date. Since an admin account had to be created before running the conversion from vb to ipb my account had been incorrectly showing the date of when I started the move from vb to ipb instead of when I actually joined. I only just yesterday got off my backside and changed my join date back to what it originally was. Turned out that you can't change join dates from the admincp, instead you need to convert the date into a GMT unix timestamp and then replace it into the database manually, of which any direct change to the database I would normally precede with a complete backup of the entire database as a matter of practice. You can see why I put it off so long.

    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?
    andwhyisit
    andwhyisit
    Maybe. I haven't tried. But having two users with the same name can only get confusing so I'd rather not attempt it. Unless of course you can convince this "Dunc" to want to change his name as well.
    duncathan
    duncathan
    Okay. I'm fine like this anyway.
    Noxid
    Noxid
    Well the problem with that is that the Dunc account logged in for one day in 2009 and there's no information on the profile to contact them with..

    you're quicker than me
    andwhyisit
    andwhyisit
    I opened your PM, got distracted by something else for a while, came back to it, changed your name, hit reply on your PM and it said that I couldn't reply because the PM was deleted.

    You still want that name?
    Hina

    Yes, and thank you.

    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.

    I've uploaded a possible fix. Mind checking it out for me?

    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.

    I would have just used resized versions of the low res resources. *shrug*

    Well like I said, in my opinion that 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. Anyway, I'm not going to put up a porting thread.
