The only way I've been able to induce it so far is by editing a profile.dat and changing a weapon's type to zero. Whether or not it's possible to do in a mod really comes down to how much you can change the ordering of the weapon list. I'm not really familiar with how much control you can...

Bubbler level 3 is amusing with the Zzz animation and set up to snake through blocks. (although the spawned shots don't phase through as well, which makes it less useful :D)

I think it *might* be possible to keep the two characters' inventories separate (so they don't have to relevel after every switch). IIRC, the game stops looking for weapons after a weapon with a value of 0, so if you rearranged the order correctly and then put a value 0 weapon between them it...

My explanation (not directly supported by the game, you understand), is that Ballos' power isn't entirely sealed, which causes pieces of the island to become tainted*. Red flowers were at some point infused with his crazy-go-nuts magic, so that when ingested they grant some of his power and...

I thought that the reason king's spirit was in the sword was because he died wielding it and wanted to see the battle through to the end.

I mean he has the sword because he has a high status in the Mimiga community.

You have it wrong. Jellyfish juice is the only thing in CS that puts out fire and then starts it again. I imagine that the mimigas, like many primitive cultures*, have a difficult time getting fires started (and a lack of trade with the surface prevents them from getting flint and steel or...

Lurking + busyness overcome all else.

Just noticed this, kind of interesting. You know the password in the plantation? "Litagano Motscoud" It occured to me that passwords are typically words spelled backwards. But since this is japanese instead of english, there isn't a 1 to 1 character mapping. If you take "doukutsu monogatari"...

Adding in the Ballos subplot could give it a happy ending... after all, in the game when you kill doubly transformed Sue she reverts to a completely healthy transformed Sue. And Balrog's a medic, right?

You're doing a good job so far. Keep it up. The only quibble I have is that the preceding credits are too long. You might want to consider combining categories done by the same people, such as music and graphics.

The entire point of the rhinos and green guys is that they're the enemy types that you can walk on top of without taking damage.

The bubbler is pure fun. It's better than the Spur for rapid fire, and acts as a shield as well. A pity the level one stage isn't very good, but it still is a decent weapon for a hellrun.

My idea for doing a harder ballos fight was covering the floor with instant death spikes, covering those with those little green guys from the plantation, putting some blocks only solid for monsters above that, and covering those with the rhinos from egg corridor. For flight (since without that...

Any weapon at level 0 will behave like a level 1 snake, IIRC.

Thanks for posting all of this up. Much appreciated.

I'm not sure exactly how the miminga mask sprite changing thing works. It isn't a simple check for the item in inventory (save game hacking doesn't do squat)... is it just triggered when you get it?

Looks pretty good! I hope I'll have a chance to play it soon.

Busy with stuff, no thyme to post. KTHXBYE.

Well... looks like they're hanging on his head

Of course, the fact that he's a robot kind of makes these make sense. And why shouldn't a robot have an oversized head?

I don't know why they'd mod the game to display the HP as a number without a line... it seems more like an intentional clone than a mod.

As for the first one: the game shows a screencap from when you last opened your inventory in the background when it uses the map. I have no idea why, but that's how it works.

Why am I starting to think about a Cavestory pinball mod? In all seriousness, though, knowing that weapons aren't just projectile-creators opens up all sorts of possibilites. Just off the top of my head, weapons performing differently underwater would be neat. Or, you know, homing missiles.
