    Man, there's really not a lot to go on for Special Boss IDs for newbs....
    I'ma talk with GIR about this later....

    Hmm, double-check the size of your executable and compare it to the size of the original. They need to be exact for those bosses (like the Core) to work. There may be something else that has changed the size of the executable.

    After searching a bit, I found this.
    I also remembered reading about how most people got around the Boss ID problem by just modifying the map they appeared in.
    Basically, if you're trying to add the Undead Core into a completely different map, I'd suggest coping as much as you can from the Black Space room {Yeah I've been incorrectly calling it Dark XD}.

    Sometime later I think I'll go play around with theses special bosses...
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Hahah...isn't modding fun...
    What entity is Kanpachi? Is he set to 0?
    I think I'll have to poke around some old threads to figure this out...
    VoidMage_Lowell
    The script number? For like when it dies?
    The map uses event #1000, but that doesn't make sense since the boss is suppose to be entity 0....
    I guess try #1000, this stuff isn't exactly in my park XD
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Alright, looking at the script I've got a bit of a theory...
    In the map that has the Undead Core ID set, try <BSL0000 and <BOA0020 and see what happens.
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Oh, sorry, got caught up in some other things.
    And remember your edit button, you could've just added the pink onto your first message.

    Checking now...
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Special ID Bosses are the only real complicated bosses, any other creature that you can place, be it a Critter, Igor, or Curly Brace, can be made a boss by using the <BSL command.

    Gimme a second to check Dark Space, then...
    VoidMage_Lowell
    You mean you don't have the original copy of Cave Story? It's at the tribute site...
    Just check out what's going on in the Dark Space map, since that's where the Dark Core appears.
    {Remember I've never used a special ID boss, yet :D;}
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Well, I dunno if I'll be able to even help that much if you're having troubles with the Undead Core; I haven't used a single special ID boss yet.
    The only thing I'd do is copy it from the Black Space room.
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Well, I guess Transport would have been a better word. {<TRA}
    I had to do it in my mod because the fans would not turn on unless the player left and came back to the room, so I just <TRA'ed them to the exact same spot they were standing in.
    And I'd rather not mess with the edit unless there's a problem you just can't seem to fix. It's always better if you can do it yourself, because you'll learn from it.
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Well, if you needed to, when the player reaches where the boss is suppose to appear, you could teleport them to the exact same spot in a copy map that has the right sprite sheets set.
    Did switching the first slot to Undead Core work, or does it only want slot 2?
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Hmm, in Plantation it's set to 1...
    Try switching it to the second slot real quick and see if that works, I suppose.
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Just ignore Captain and the rest of them. They're not the nicest bunch, especially when you dig yourself a hole like you have.
    Just ignore them, don't even respond to them if you can, they're full of hot air.
    The trick is to not feed their inflated egos, which is very tricky. {Them all flaming you is one way to make themselves feel important}
    Best to completely ignore them, but try to follow the rules a bit more closely, will you?

    Anyways, what exactly is the problem? For the sprite sheets, Gunfish should be in the sprite sheet Cent, and Midorin uses Guest in the first slot.
    Ryuuoutan
    I dont get it... I put the sprites in, copied the BSL thing from the original cave story, and nothing happens. I also used Undead Core's sprites in the NPC tileset 2, but the Midorin used it instead. And if i use Midorin's original sprite set, it just turns to a gunfish.

    It's in the file.
    VoidMage_Lowell
    Say you're looking for Ballos priest form. {That's the first one}
    Open the file with something like Notepad and hit Ctrl+F.
    Type in Ballos.
    Hit next until you find the Ballos with the priest description, and look at his entity number.
    Use that then to quickly select him in Cave Editor.
