Cave Story: Tweaked (NEW: Version 1.7!)

I'm not sure how active the development of this mod is, but I'd like to ask if it's possible to add the option to disable the sprite flickering whenever a character gets hit or damaged, both on said character and the UI. I've been unable to play this game for many years now because of this issue.

 

There's a new 1.5.1 which at least on Windows is still bugged in a way where, you fire up the game, and it says 'Pixel Studios Presents' and then hangs for a bit and crashes probably when trying to draw art and such...

Loaded up fine for me, no longer seems to require the extra dlls, or boss mode files~

However still shows the fireball sprite after falling down in mimiga village near the start; instead of showing quote fallen down. (tested with original graphics). Also haven't noticed shuffle doing anything?
Boss rush works now~ No way to switch back to the original game afterwards though, unless you close and restart. Would be interesting if you could switch between mods in options ... Unnecessary though

 

OOO, new 1.6, no changelog though? Mystery Update

 

Take it with a pinch of salt, but Ikuyo hasn't been on the forums in like, two years. The changelog can be read here.

 

Yeah, I apologize for not being around here much!

I'm working on a big update for the next few months and I've finally squashed a lot of long standing problems (such as the issues with noninteger scaling corrupting the upscale graphics). I also restored functionality to the 3DS build, have a Vita build functioning, and am working on a switch one.

As serri pointed out, I've been posting more detailed into on cohost.

I have been checking back here every 3-6 months or so hoping for updates. This is still my favorite fork of the game and the best I know of. I am glad to hear you have another one coming, and I am also pretty excited about the VITA port you referred to.
I was using an older original PSP homebrew app for it on original PSP, but I would love to get a great version on Vita, and not have to emulate the original PSP version on it.

I noticed people saying there were new versions after 1.4, but I couldn't find them. They haven't been getting posted here apparently and I guess I missed them. I just stumbled across them on Doukutsu though and just got both 1.5's and the 1.6 updates.

I will be happy to report any bugs or issues I find in the update and Vita copy to help you out just like the previous times. I'll try to set aside some time to play through the 1.5, 1.5.1, and 1.6 soon to look for things.

 

Cave Story Tweaked version 1.7 is out!

This is a major release with a lot of fixes and two new platforms. Here's a detailed changelog:

• Restored functionality for the 3ds build, and fixed several issues with that specific build
• Added a build for Nintendo Switch! It works via Homebrew Menu.
• Implemented new Options menu interface, with tooltips and a tabbed interface.
• Added a new menu option for Text Speed (Slow, Fast, Instant).
• Gamepad and Keyboard remapping now uses icons instead of text descriptors.
• Fixed rendering errors for the textbox cursor.
• Fixed several issues with software rendering.
• Swapping spritesets now properly works regardless of window/screen resolution. Game will not load upscaled graphics if you try to make it load at 1x size with the upscaled graphics.
• Fixed a softlock in Grasstown introduced by modified files.
• Fixed inaccuracy with blue background in First Cave not being rendered properly.
• Fixed several rendering issues with the Tweaked style minimap.
• Fixed issue that prevented mapping a key to the same button that OK was currently mapped to.
• Game no longer crashes when loading an invalid Config/Tweaks data file, instead erroring gracefully and using default values.
• Fixed issue where disconnecting a controller and reconnecting it (or connecting another controller) would cause the newly connected controller to map incorrectly.
• Fixed issue where closing the inventory would cause the weapon swap animation to play even if the player has not swapped their active weapon.
• Fixed some lingering issues with the Rumble implementation

Windows, Linux, 3DS and Switch builds are all available in Doukutsu Club, as well as in the official website https://oneninefour.cl/tweaked/

BTW, just to be clear, I have some pending work to do before I can release a Vita version, which is why it is not in this build.

 

Wanted to ask if this fork has any support for other audio formats (i.e. ogg for Wiiware/Remaster) or if it's locked to org? Wonderful fork either way.

Also wanted to add that attempting to close the map using the map button (in my case select), the system crashes. Below is the crash dump.

 

Hi, thanks for the report! I'm looking into it ASAP

Regarding music pack support, we do support them! Take a look at the data/Soundtracks folders for further information.

 

Forgot to mention the crash is 3ds, oops. I am glad to see the soundtrack support (although 3ds doesn't have any soundtracks folder by default, I think the idea is pretty apparent)

 

hi , are you thw developer of this mod
please port it to linux so i can TAS it

Ditto, I tried using this folder structure:
SD:/3ds/data/cse2/Soundtracks/Remastered, SD:/3ds/data/cse2/data/Soundtracks/Remastered, and SD:/3ds/data/Soundtracks/Remastered but it doesn't work on 3DS. It does work on PC though which is weird. The only thing I can think of is doing SD:/data/Remastered.

Also it doesn't seem the 3DS supports graphics packs cause I want to use the upscaled graphics pack.
Also, does the 3DS support mods like Boss Rush? and where can I get more mods for the PC version?

They are, and it is on Linux. Go to the website to download it: https://oneninefour.cl/tweaked/

Hi! A couple things

- I think you can extract the RomFS with a dedicated tool and then you'll get the filesystem exposed. You can then add the soundtracks and repack the ROM from there. Keep in mind that ogg/mp3 soundtrack support will require you to dump your DSP firmware.
- 3ds resolution is 240p, which is the minimum size of the original graphics set for Cave Story. As such, it made no sense to ship in the upscale graphics (as they're larger than the console screen resolution).

Why is it not just a folder on the SD card?
