• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

    Give me a day and I'll send you any information that you might need.

    Something I sent to QuoteHax before the incident, which I figured you might want a play with(you know C,right?):

    Essentially the code does this:
    Forcefully call NPC216(Note that I modify the code which decides which NPC to call, instead of modifying the pointer table)
    Call my DLL (game.dll,originally called gamemanj.dll but changed due to space concerns)
    DLL doesn't have a new behavior for this NPC, so looks in the NPC pointer table and calls Cave Story's handler.

    I intend to do a similar thing with bullets, but I'll release the template mod first-people who really want to mod bullets can still use the Doukutsu Assembler(plus the fallback means everyone's old Doukutsu Assembler mods should work as usual unless they mess around with NPC216)

    ...Released. I think you'll be able to find it, it has the most obvious name in the universe.

    So, Geobox. Amazing. What's your opinion?

    Geobox looks pretty amazing, though I think someone should make all-new example assets to avoid problems with Nicalis/Pixel/anything at all.
    Then again, I'm a pretty paranoid person. I think the past few days have exhibited a pretty obvious view of how paranoid I can be(and how panicked I get when I realize I did something stupid).
    Either way, it looks to be a good engine <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

    i think i did ns2 but it was covering the "modify the original parts of cave story slightly" thing that was happening when i made that. still is kinda happening now i think. i should obviously make a /true/ successor to noxid story sometime

    no way i would want to do that in a month for april fool's again lol

    Okay, I'm seeing if I can make a mod which gives you the Booster v0.8 from the start.
    (and makes it infinite. and adds a little secret)

    Just so you know, all the hacks in Hackinator format were made especially for you, so feel free to add them to BL if you wish. No credit needed.
    Hina
    Noxid... I'll look at the hackinator-thing in the morning because it's midnight now and I'm pretty much dying... I'll do what I can after sleeping, though.

    Young Booster will be missed. How long was he in your About Me? o.o

    Like, a few years at least. Since the days when fahrenheit still roamed the earth, at least.

    But I'll probably mix it up a bit more often now

    That ancient? My word. I've seen it there for as long as I could remember, but I wouldn't have thought...

    Well, whatever. Exciting! Variety is nice, as much as I tend to hang on to the past. Someday the rainbow cats will end.

    Hope you don't mind me asking, but are there any guides that you know of that's related to the TSC command BOA?
    Noxid
    Noxid
    not really
    I believe it works like <ANP but only affects the current room boss
    view Pixel's scripts to see what valid values are for a given boss.

    -story-

    This sure is Cave Story!

    I appreciate the lack of cutscenes, they can be a bit long. Let's see where this goes.

    Hm...the music doesn't return once you pick up the Polar Star. Odd.

    Instinctual grinding to Lv 3 is a go! Let's see what Mimiga Village is like with no story.

    Nope, never mind. Totally a story. Is it just me, or do you fall and move a little faster than usual? I have no frame of reference after that last mod, so I'll compare with unaltered Cave Story.

    ...it does seem a mite faster. Who knows, though.

    Oh...dear! Okay. Here's the twist, then. I'm surprised the teleporters never failed in the original, now that I think about it...

    The living things seem fine, at least! And the grind is even more important now that I can't recieve more health...but I love my Polar Star and prefer it stay maxed anyway. ~^-^~

    Looks like there's even less to read this time. Mimiga Village looks downright depressing now...kind of reminds me of Kero Blaster. Also, there's text sounds when I enter rooms for some reason, and it looks like I can shoot through glitched tiles!

    I was confused for a moment upon being unable to leave the Shack, silly me. Seems like Toroko was confused, too!

    Oh, hello Booster. Yes, I'd like to engage NPC.

    The music doesn't end this time. PANIC!

    Jack, stop staring at me. Please. >:

    That black oil definitely looks like Kero Blaster's negativus legatia. It's also solid, judging by the map system.

    More oil in Arthur's House this time. Let's see if horrible things happen upon teleporting!

    ...yup! Apparently I'm just "lacking". Text boxes this time and the floppy doesn't disappear, but it's probably a bad idea to save in these conditions. Looks like I still have my map system!

    I kind of prefer this distorted music to silence. It was indeed another three lifes!

    Transitions this time. You uh...you having fun up there, Tetsuzou? Don't think I don't notice that you're apparently in prison.

    Got the shoting! My insatiable need to grind to Lv 3 is the same in this dimension and any other. :3

    Looks like the environment changes a little, too. Or I could just be unobservant/going mad.

    Lovely facepics. The dialogue's even better! Also, you know how I said I prefer distorted music? I take that back, Mimiga Village is horrifying.

    Oil hurts.

    No, on second playthrough, the environment definitely changes - you can't go up until you realize you're blocked off. That's a very subtle effect and I like it. :3

    I am standing on Chinfish. He is my friend. Also, the Reservoir's entrance is a little terrifying.

    For some reason, the map still has a fanfare even though the shoting, lifes and fish necklace don't. Maybe that's an error?...

    JESUS Balrog! And I thought Jack's facepic was bad. Oh my goodness.

    Misery's, on the other hand, just made me laugh. It's unfortunate that her face is melting, though...

    Nevermind. Smile is nightmare fuel. >:

    Oh, okay, Mahin is apparently sane now. That may be an oversight.

    Jack's having a nice...um, bath. D:

    Arthur's House now features a full pool of awful. Hm. I also didn't need to use the computer to go to Egg Corridor, and in fact the computer...

    Oh dear. There I go. I actually decided to use my own MyChar for this mod earlier on, to spice up what I assumed would be a decent amount of regular CS a bit - and I must admit it's a bit disturbing watching my little Gardevoir drown in nothingness.

    I suppose this is a comment on the sheer number of mods there are. Hm. If I were using the default MyChar, this would be negative Quote. As it is, I guess it's Shiny's turn. Also sudden flight!

    I still have the Map System. It doesn't reveal much.

    This is very tricky to control. Still, I managed to get past all of the corruption without hitting any of it, and...that's a wrap.

    A shame, too - that was really interesting! I'd love to see it completed, even after the contest. Thanks, Noxid. :3</div></div>

    So yeah! I found it very atmospheric and interesting, to the point that it's probably in my top three somewhere. You did well~!
    Noxid
    Noxid
    Thank you
    It seems people either really like the concept, or don't care for it at all. It looks like you found every one of the known bugs too, so congrats! Some are intentional, but the music stuff wasn't for sure.

    Anyway, I'm glad you liked it. I'd hope that I could find time to finish it someday, but I can't make an promises.
