• 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

I don't know where the Post went. But I was going to say that I am Making more of my Cave Story Mod Tomorrow. And that it will have 10 Levels.
Very likely that DT merged your posts into one. It's best to keep it that way.

SAY this is real helpful. I was just about to learn how to mod Cave Story.
Who is this blink guy?
I've never heard of him.

Hey BLink, I'm bumping this thread because I just noticed something. The link next to the assembly compendium instead contains a link to the Ollydbg skins. Might want to fix that.

Thread has been updated for the exciting new year of 2023.

I added a section of CSE2 vs Freeware because that wasn't well explained, and I cleaned up some other things. I tested most of the links to see if they still worked, but if you catch anything off just let me know and I'll update!

Edit: added instructions on how to get the .dll modloader working in WINE

Going into 2025 here soon; I don't really pay attention to Modding CS these days, but if yall have some stuff I should add to the thread or modify, feel free to add them and I'll update the OP for you.

At best I'd suggest adding Sky Dragon Editor as an alternative for Booster's Lab. Currently, it's functionally the same, and it uses a very similar UI to that of Cave Editor.

Also personally, I'd suggest using SDE to anyone who let's say, installed a graphics update to their computer (be it through Armoury Crate, Nvidia, DirectX, etc), making the interface in BL glitch out on them as a side effect (or anyone that already has visual issues with BL the first time they try it).
