A quick question,
In Boosters Lab version 0.2.5.1
When I load a Cavestory.exe file and then do actions > run game, I get a pop-up message with "execution error".
How do I get the exe file to launch from within the Boosters Lab jar program? Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks for your help,

It should be spell proof with or without a <FAC command similar to this.
The only tricky part it getting it to render the correct face from the template.
Probably no

Your executable may be in a location where the process does not have permission to execute it. Otherwise, I don't really know...
you may have to just do it the old-fashioned way

One quick question.
How do you change the map dimensions (the size of the map, how many tiles wide or tall) in Boosters Lab?
Thanks!

Right-click menu on the map editor

Can you add a start point in BL?

So, yeah. BL is destroying my script because it reads from the script source files instead of the .tsc files themselves.


In English:

So if I use CE to do script, BL won't recognize it. Can this be fixed?

Well if you delete the scriptSource folder in data/Stage BL will reload from the .tsc, so any changes you've made in CE should appear then. I'm not sure why you use CE to edit the TSC, but if you have to then I guess this should do. I dunno if it'd be a good idea to automatically check which is more recent or whatever, because that could cause some weird, less predictable problems.

I always delete the source script file. (after learning the hard way. . . twice)

Just wondering if it could be fixed for the next release. (whenever that is)



And why I use CE. . . Because, I thought BL + beta = unrenounced glitches waiting to happen. :D



And also because there is no 3X zoom for map editing.

Could that be added maybe?

Well the thing is, I don't even know what the fix would *be*, as it's pretty much working "as intended".

Honestly it's probably more stable than Cave Editor at this point and if there are bugs then they can at least get fixed because, yknow, I exist.


Also, you can zoom indefinitely with the hotkeys, ctrl-plus and ctrl-minus I'm pretty sure. Also I *think* ctrl-mousewheel? I know that was requested but I forget if I veto'd that change or not.

Here's another idea, display what the X/Y location the spot the pointer is over.

it would be nice when making a <TRA to know where to make you spawn without having to count the spaces.

That's already a feature: just right-click and select "make <TRA for this spot".

It adds the command at wherever you are on the script.

Hai sempai, sugoi desu!

But yeah different languages are really cool, it's too bad this forum creates a huge language barrier for foreign members.

Looking good there! It'll be nice for Japanese modders to be able to use this editor. GIR translated it, I assume?

Nodid should make the script box bigger. It is way to small.

Here's an improvement.
when the executable is marked read-only BL says

Could not save to executable!
is it marked read-only?

when it should say

Could not save executable!
is it open or marked read-only?


BL cannot save Doukustu when the executable is open. (for obvious reasons)

and another thing . . .

For the hex patcher, shouldn't you be able to do a right click and hit paste as well as click and drag?
because nothing pops up when I do a right click.
