Disabling the Christmas Sprites

I'm running Cave Story + on a Macintosh, and I would really really like to disable the Christmas sprites. I'm not really concerned for losing my save file, if it's necessary. It's January 1st, and Quote is still a reindeer.

I'm not sure what to do, and if the Christmas sprite even goes away at all. Even when I try to play Curly Story, Curly turns into a reindeer Quote.

Help is very appreciated,

Thank you for your time.

 

Nobody knows how they have it set up.

In the PC version there's an option to toggle holiday graphics, but I presume they haven't updated the mac version.

You'll just have to wait for whenever they think "christmas" is over.

 

Oh my.

Well that's quite unfortunate

So far, I've tried tinkering around with the files, and I've only been able to find a temporary fix.

If I delete my save file, (which is located in ~/Library/Application Support/Cave Story+) and then played the game, it restores the original sprites.

Well, that is, until you close the game. Then the Christmas Sprites all come back again. :/

So I was guessing it's a setting in the game's files, but I cannot for the life of me identify which one it is.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

 

Probably the "date" setting, would be my guess. It's contained in the save.

 

You sure there isn't an option to disable holiday graphics in the Options menu?

 

Yeah, I think there's no option for it in the options.

If I'm not mistaken, the Humble Indie Bundle Mac version of Cave Story + doesn't have an option to disable/enable Holiday graphics.

But I'm a newcomer to Cave Story. I don't know for certain.

 

You should be able to copy the Base (original graphics) onto the Xmas graphics (make a backup first!)

That way, it will use the original no matter what...
or yeah, change the date! If possible... [I think it has to be a few weeks into Jan, before it switches back; I checked it a while ago...]
