This is a great mod, and looks good so far. However, I have encountered a problem.
I'm stuck at the part where Kazuma is fixing the teleporter in Grass Town, where he tells me to take a rest.
I take a rest, yet it does not seem to activate any cutscene if there is supposed to be one.
Yet I can still teleport to Egg Corridor or Arthur's House.
If I teleport outside, the NPCs still assume that Kazuma is trapped in Grass Town.

This might have something to do with it: I downloaded the latest version today and transfered my save.
At that time, I had just reached Grass Town and I had saved at that little hut thing outside of where you emerge from the water.

Please look into it.

Also, the Bat Swarm is evil.

(I'm starting over FYI. So don't sweat it too much.)

Thank you for pointing that out. The problem was a missing <FL-0525 in the script, since the trigger needed it's vanish flag changed. I'd forgotten that <DNP tends to set the flag. Derp. Updated the fix to 0.30.2

If you're having trouble with a boss, try changing your tactics.

The best way to kill the Bat Swarm is to use -only- the missile launcher, and jump up on the ledges to fire the missiles at the Bat Swarm point-blank.

Re: Cave Story - Redesign

Hullo. I have encountered yet another issue, albeit a minor one.
So, I have finished the demo, and now I'm exploring all the places I can.
You know that, "Oh-my-God-why-did-he-jump-cliff"? (Sorry, don't remember the name lol)
On my 3rd visit there to go to the Sand Zone (1st time was before completing the mod), I somehow activated the cutscene where the Hermit takes the Polar Star back.
The Hermit was invisible, the explosion tile trap was there, and an invisible Polar Star was taken from me.
Nothing I can tell was affected, but I'd thought I'd let you know.

Also, mind giving me hints for Sparkler expansions? 1 shot isn't gonna take me anywhere much. -_-

Ah, I forgot about that bug. Thanks.

There's one in Underwood, and one in the Catacombs. I won't tell you where exactly they are, though.

Great work on this mod so far!

When can we expect an update? I'm itching for more content.

Lace said:

Whenever I get around to it. In other words, probably a few months before the next update is released. Unless of course, there's some crazy little game breaking bug I missed somewhere, then that'll get fixed asap. Otherwise, yeah. Few months for the next installment.

Re: Cave Story - Redesign

Yay. Didn't mean to sound like I was being pushy or anything just excited about it. Thanks for this awesome redesign.

Re: Cave Story - Redesign

Hmm.

THis is interesting... While in Egg Corridor:Masser, I was able to enter the Egg NO. 2 multiple times and get the missile expansion as many times as I wanted..

Was that intentional

?

Thanks for the great mod!!

One question though, what are the blocks with the grenade image on them for?
Is it a weapon that is unlocked further in the mod?

Uhh, no. Thanks for pointing that out.

...grenade? There are star blocks, missile blocks, and fireball blocks. You'll get the fireball in grasstown.

Re: Cave Story - Redesign

thanks. I got to grass town and figured out at the blocks that appeared to have an orange "grenade" on them were fireball blocks...

If balrog is already this hard to defeat in grasstown.... i can't imagine seal chamber DX

Uh, I don't think

Sue

Should know Quotes name yet.
I just rescued

Kazuma

And got back to the Mimiga Village.
In the building,

I knew you could do it, Quote!
How does she know his name?

It's on his cap, I think.

Each boss has a tactic that can be used to win the battle more easily than otherwise. Experimentation is your friend (and so are save points!)

It has been confirmed by pixel himself that "Curly Brace" is what's written on his cap.

That doesn't make any sense and is only partially true.
Curly(star symbol)Brace was written on Quote's hat in the beta, in which Quote's name was actually Curly Brace. This is what Pixel confirmed.

Having Quote's hat reading some other robot's name is illogical. Plus it's red, like Quote's other stuff. Curly is wearing pink.

Huh, I thought Curly Brace was { .

I'll write in some contigency dialogue for his name though, just to be safe.

It is.
They're named after punctuation. Quote, Curly Brace, and Curly Brace's Mimigas, the Colons.

Re: Cave Story - Redesign

...Anyway.
I love the game.
The

Sand Worm

is probably the hardest boss. The new weapon is a great idea, but when I got the Machine Gun to Lv.3, it kinda saddened me. I thought my game broke. But it didn't

Anyway. Great game so far.

Probably a hidden message in there, somewhere.

^_^ Yep. He's the last boss so far, and by far the largest, so makes sense he'd also be the hardest! Glad you enjoyed it!

Hehe. There are upgrades for the new weapon you can find to let you reach higher and higher, too.

The areas which I'm working on now revolve around teaching the player how to fully utilize the new weapon for getting around.

Re: Cave Story - Redesign

is the *only* way to eastern grasstown past the Mannan(s)?

Can you get to the eastern part through the Midorin's nest?

I'm trying to go to the east for the first time...

also..
is there a particular strategy to get past them?
