Cool thanks
what two npcs would be good for replacing with patchwork quote?? I only need him to walk (maybe point a gun, so curly for one?)

Here's a list for the values.

<ANPx:y:z Animate NPc Animate entity X with value Y in direction Z

X refers to the entity's event number (which can be edited in the map). How it can be animated depends on it's type (what it is) and generally most animations can be found in the ANP.txt I linked to you. Technically all of the npcs have animations, since the animation is simply a change in the entity's internal script state. But most of the useful ones are in there.

If you wanted to animate an npc with event value XXXX, for like 16 ticks and only 16 ticks, in direction 2 (0 = left, 2 = right, I think those are the values) with animation YYYY, you would use...

<ANPXXXX:YYYY:0002<WAI0016<ANPXXXX:0000:0002

Click to expand...

Generally the 0 value will cancel all animations for every npc.

I basically need a quick instruction on how to, I have virtually no experience animating with scripts. I get how to do it, but the values and timing kinda escape me

EDIT:specifically the 'Y' values in animation (<ANPXXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ)

WHO WILL WIN?!

OMG. Perfect! This is just what I wanted! Credited.

Perfect thanks! I'll listen to it as soon as I have access to a computer!

Ok:
on this website of pixel's .ORGs, number 43 (unknown song) sounds amazing IMO, but only lasts for about 3 or 4 measures, and then just loops the drums for a few more. Would you be interested in finishing the song?

sorry computer fail Here's the link to the webpage:

Gotcha, and I know you also look up to Xazer's mod, and I've played all the way through the demo with that one as well. I'm sure we're both hoping that he finishes that one because It's got a lot of potential, but If you look back at how WTF Story beta was, and how it is now? It's come a long way, and it's good quality. Seriously, don't pay mind to the trolls who say that easy mode is still too hard. It's an aptly titled game, it knocks you off your feet, presenting you a legit challenge that makes it fun to play, so it's got it's own quality to it. It's not JUST visually appealing, or JUST super hard, or JUST a new concept. Quality wise, it very clean, and very straight forward.

One minor thing that I will note about Xazer's mod is that the backgrounds can get really noisy, which makes it tricky to spot more important and required tools to overcome blatant obstacles. Yes, there's a stylish flair to that, but within reason.

I've played through that one until the point where you (seemingly) can't jump over the lava pits in the underground pass, and I honestly, literally gave up on that one because I was tired of being Mozes tossing around bubbler style FISH at people!

I'm sorry, but something about that mod just... just brought me to tears laughing that I really couldn't take it seriously, but the time i did have with it was pretty entertaining.

Well being a person myself who has a hard time finishing anything I start, (as far as my own creations go) I can really respect your decisions, and I'd hate to get in your way with making myself a bother anymore than I already have. At the same time it's probably a good thing that you had a chance to voice that, yeah, you are making some good progress and things aren't as dim as they seem.

Best of luck, hope you get back what you put into your ventures, you're certainly earning it.

Core took me about 3 solid days to beat, so i have no doubts there. Really wishing i would have caught all of the footage on my livestream, but maybe i'll do that another time.

Ahhh, gotcha, I had to wonder how that would even be mappable... I'd figured just a bunch of blocks that you'd do a LoZ OoT style push with. And yeah, I can agree, spoilers take the fun out of everything.

I'll make this dead clear to ya though. While some people on forums may keep pushing you to do new releases or at least significant updates, I know as well as a lot of people that you've got a life, and at 17, you're plannin your future out. That's stressful enough as it is. I've got college starting up spring semester today and work at 4:00 AM, probably the only reason i'm up right now. If i go to sleep right now, i'll never wake up.

Being said, you seem like someone with a good head on your shoulders, you've got the smarts to do things a lot of people cant. Build those skills up RPG style and work up to a nice job doin what you love.

The reason that i purposely chose the hard/normal WTF Story was because not only do i enjoy a bit of a challenge, but I absolutely love the I wanna be the guy moments where it's like "oh no you fkin didnt...". You get through a terrible part, and there's a spike trap disguised as a treasure chest. It's classic, and while i know to go for the save point first, it's still fun to just try it for the hell of it for the laugh. That's what I loved so much about your mod in particular.

I really cant wait for the Snowy type area, and the bit about losing friction with walking on some areas sounds like it's going to be an absolute blast XD You certainly are going out of your way with the coding in this with the boulder interactivity, too, definite props.

I was a little frustrated when I played the WiiWare Version of Cavestory, being that they actually HAND you a game that has 3 HP with multiple options of weapon combinations etc. (You can go with any weapon combination you'd like, basically) To run straight into hell with. It also gives you the option of picking up two 26 HP capsules to get you up to 55 HP.

...forewarning, if you have not already been told what they did to balrog, it's an absolutely tragic tale of what they changed his dialogue to... not going to spoil that one though.

Thanks! I was rushing up until the last minute, so the timing is a little off, provided that I did all of the sounds and animation in flash, and not a cave story mod, since a Mod wouldn't be allowed on dA, i'm sure.

If you aren't joking, I shall use my assassin's creed skills on you. :E

Sorry that I hadn't been very active lately, been working on this for April fools day:

That said, you totally saved my hide when it came to having sound effects and such in time to submit it, so really, thank you!

I'm also happy to tell you that I've beaten the WTF Story Demo on hard mode in less than a day XD (got completely addicted)
I will say however that It was the most fun that I've ever had with any sort of cave story mod, and arguably more fun than running hell with 3 HP in the original Cave story.

Congratulations on the construction of what is definitely in my book, a very promising project!

GIR you are a jerk and I hate you alot because that stupid thing worked when I spend all day pulling my hair out then you fix it in like 10 minutes.
<3
Anyway there's only a few left to go. the dots for items in the text don't display anymore, <MNA doesn't work, minor issue with map system redrawing itself, credits text is messed up, images in the .exe don't display, -warp- still has that trailing image glitch.

That is all.

EDIT: Thems's been fixed now.

oh MAAAAN. I started playing your hack.. even on WTFEasy this first area is kicking my ass. Well, you can't die, but it's sooooo so so so annoying, lol.. forget about the bonus room! And by no means am I squeamish when it comes to difficulty--I beat Ninja Gaiden 3 on NES on a real TV (so no savestates etc) for chrissakes. Looks like I need more practice....

I do love what you've done with the graphics and music, I LOVE the "No Way!" Sonic 3 theme used when you die... I was hoping it was okay to use org-ified music from other games than Cave Story, hopefully no one'd have a problem with that (like using copyrighted music or w/e) since I definitely plan to use a lot of that in any hacks I may make in the future. Now, I'm going to go back and try this some more... I'll definitely go with easy mode my first time.

I think at least part of it's getting used to using this Xbox 360 controller to control Cave Story rather than the Wiimote I've been using lately...

Hah... Well, I like Sue and all, and ease of use is obviously a good thing, but since I'm willing to learn to much 'complicated' crap it sounds like CE's definitely what to go for right now..
It's awesome to hear there's actually a freeware application with which you can make quality audio stuff like that. I really HATE the idea of pirating a program that I know I'll use to MAKE stuff and then put it out for other people to listen to, you know? It just seems wrong to me... that's really the main reason I haven't even messed with remixing or anything yet, though I've been a huge video game music junkie like my whole life. It's refreshing to hear that, I'll have to give it a try.
And your mod? I don't know why, but I was under the impression it was a work in development, and not playable yet. I'll definitely give it a try!

Oh, I'm really, *really* interested in making a Cave Story mod myself... I've gotten so much back into the game recently, and I always play around with the idea of making hacks of games I love, but I never really go through with it... but I'm really really considering learning and dealing with everything required to make a good one for CS. I feel like I need to start playing through a lot of these well-made mods/hacks I've heard about, though, before I work on one of my own..
What editor do you use, anyway? Which one's the best, and all that? People seem to like Sue's Workshop more, but CaveEditor seems more active... and are there other good ones?
I kinda also wanna ask what tracker you use to make remixes, too, since that's something else I'm really interested in... though I'm not sure I'll really be getting into it anytime soon, given the other stuff I'm doing, lol.

I was just looking for cavestory music on youtube and came across your 'pillow of fire' mix, I love it and love the name you came up for it. I'm listening to a bunch of your stuff now, quite awesome

"thermal winds" is my favorite so far, probably because I can't get enough of "geothermal", though that french horn-sounding thing seems a bit out of place, I still love this mix!

Hey Cheezer, the link that you posted for the batch of SFX files leads to a site that's currently down, or one that I can't access, could you possibly upload if through a mirror site? I would really appreciate it!
